@TheOldGuy I was wondering how Texas was holding up.
No recession for Canada. Don't put any money on it. We'll have a few weenies who didn't listen to anybody and bought a house at peak with a variable rate, butt the banks will quietly brush them under the carpet. All our income comes from oil, gas, automobiles, and Ryan Reynolds. All looks good for coming years, especially with it getting colder than you-know-what in the world. We excel at living in cold and can send paid consultants to US states that don't how to plough a road. The economy will shine when we start growing coca plants, and opium poppies. All the prairies will be covered with greenhouses, run by Ukrainian refugees.
@atomicpoet Of course, we had a huge sushi meal, with everyone making their own rolls with lots of raw fish. Lots of people, with babies all over the place. I stole all my rolls from feminine energy. Male non-energy would have been beer with ordered-in pizza. That lifestyle will soon die out due to no reproduction.
@atomicpoet OMG, I've had too much 'feminine energy' with everybody over Christmas.
@szescstopni Now, we know it was Santa!
I'm much too gabby today, and will have to hit myself with bat. All the family in yesterday, too much drinking on my part. I had lots of fun with the big male Scotch drinkers shooting expensive Japanese Scotch. We only got it because of my California hipster son, who loves it. It burns like a friggin hot iron down your gut. Hilarious!
@szescstopni There was probably some rum with that.
@garyackerman We call that 'wetware'.
@antares We did that, too, with the millenials. So much, Oh I almost got it! I check them all later with barcode.
@TheOldGuy WAIT! That was a Beach Boys song. I'm so ashamed.
@TheOldGuy Until the tornado takes you and cells away. :)
@pieist Yes, that would be horrible -- All these Barbies coming at you saying -- Math is Hard. Bam! With the shotgun. Or, to follow a certain movie, the gap is "END OF WORLD, followed by backup restore". Or, if it wasn't written by an AI, it would fill the gap with 'Cloudy with sunny breaks'. And you though this wasn't funny.
@pieist Oh, I thought it was the Barbie Apocalypse.
#physics Ontario gets silly again about energy. I did all the preliminary geotech studies of the new Niagara Tunnel. It would only work if we expanded the pumped storage. I left that division, and the gov't forced them to build the tunnel -- 'Worth it at any price.' they said. The tunnel cost 2 billion and was never used, because of the fact they couldn't expand the pumped storage, as I had said. The walls were dirt, and already had failures. Now, we go into buying all the lithium in China. If we accelerate the demise of Climate Change, then natural gas is the physics solution. But, physics is a fiction. :(
Descended from Unix freaks, I evolved to Linux. Some people might consider me old at 60+, but I'm suing the world to get my age down to 30.
I have a blog https://ontario-geofish.blogspot.com/
and it is read by 8 people. My formal education is in an extinct branch of science called geophysics. Since there was no money in it, I went to engineering. I've done tunnels, radwaste thingies, etc.
