The only brits I know have all come over to Canadaland, so all I can offer is best wishes for a speedy transition and a resettling somewhere that feels safe. Promise you’ll update us as to the acclimation process.

Oh God. Please, use anything but Ansible.

Yeah. We joked about the dumb trope where the cheerleader goes down into the dark spooky basement to check on that weird sound with a dodgy flashlight, but then we discovered we’re all apparently the cheerleader.

Wear this face diaper, respect everyone’s personal space and wash your hands properly? We learned this when our TV-nannies showed us MASH and stElsewhere and Scrubs. Too much for us to commit to, though, as if an entire super-nation doesn’t do it every winter.

Yeah. “Who’s in the white House” is the only variable in this equation.

DRMs

Not pluralized. We don’t say “4 managements”

what “no cap” meant

“a bus ticket for a window tasting”

Didn’t it get resold again to a Chinese firm? Please tell me they’re independent again.

Spy ON.

Too busy, those beavers.

Lenovo: you’re okay with sharing secrets with China.

Network Operations Field Tech. They climb the ladders and debug the cameras. Absolutely toughbook.

I knew without looking it was more of Lennart’s cancer.

more enjoyable to call established leads, people who already expressed and interest and just needed help making up their mind

Those calls aren’t cold.

You mean “run through,” right?

This is why I hate the Boeing max line. It’s not because of the safety things, for those I decide are self-correcting and thus I can wait those out.

No, it’s the new layouts they enable and offer that has seats cramped even harder, washrooms without full enclosure - no really, a public restroom divider with a 4-inch gap at the bottom between my farts and the galley - and cheap porous plastic everywhere. The whole thing is a McDonald’s lobby you can’t escape for ours at a time, nor express the slightest frustration at being in.

If it’s Boeing, I’m not going.

… because no one is reminding us of the things the cons have done, and the fact that “fuck trudeau and the country he leads” is the entirety of their platform.

On that note, if you “forgot” who was fighting Soviets in WW2 you’re not fit for government.

I feel that’s really targeting a single incident in order to redirect the attention away from the environment in which that error was made. Like the cons are so eager to find fault in Justin so we’ll forget the hateful and shady shit they pull on the daily that they’re virtue-signalling hard on this one.

Either way, adult shit like keeping the country going during a lethal global pandemic and improving the economy and trying to cling to the paris accords despite the O&G sector’s machinations, that’ll be less important than theatrical make-up and letting someone’s uncle be recognized inappropriately.

Honestly, if ever I go back to Twitter, it’ll be just for the NatlParkSvc account and Susie Dent. Those two accounts are all I see from there that is wonderful.
