@sabbatical Welcome to civilisation!

Why in the world would someone name their kid "Husband"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Husband_E._Kimmel

Kadoka, South Dakota is the most remote place in the continental United States. Why? Well, it's a 6.5 hour drive to the nearest Costco.

You know you live in rural-adjacent Alberta when you hear about a flyer and based on the prices you might assume either single-family homes or farm equipment

The worst thing about people interrupting life with a phone call is that they don’t know how much of an interruption they might be causing, and thus can’t be held fully liable for it.

@sabbatical I haven't seen a drop here in AB so I have to think your thoughts that it's provincial tax related

I only wear trousers out of the house in case someone invites me for a round of bowling

Do you apologise for missing someone's call when you get back to them?

One day, the costs associated with media, which really are costs of the physical delivery, and not the media itself, will be remembered as a minute blip in the history of mankind.

@Zonz it varies! But for an example that regularly happens…

Coworker A sends me a one-sentence message in the work chat about a typo on the website while I’m doing non-focused tasks. I’ll probably drop what I’m doing and fix it.

Coworker B, whom I like equally as much as A, emails me a three-sentence email about a typo, with the story of how they found it. I’ll look at the email and file it in the “do later” pile.

Here's a fusion band that won three Juno awards for Best Canadian Group of the Year.

But who is that on saxaphone? Howard Shore, composer/director/producer of the soundtrack to Jackson's LOTR films.

I've realised that when someone asks me to do something without giving any indication of how important it is or what kind of deadline there might be, I prioritise it in part based on how I was asked. The more annoying the wording and method of communication are, the longer it'll take me to get to a request, probably out of subconsious spite

If you blatantly disregard applicable rules of driving that are designed to protect the life of others, we can't be friends

I tried this method of making coffee but it didn't work

I must not have an Italian mother.

@mike To be fair, as long as they're not saying "new" it's not wrong, right?

I didn't watch the stream but I can hear Tim Cook saying "gorgeous design" in my head clear as day

"Reading" is to audiobooks as "cycling" is to Peloton

@vic he also got a regular moose ticket. He gets everything he can and brings both rifles and archery gear so as to be prepared anything. I’ll have to ask if he’s ever actually opted for a bow when it comes to moose!

Me: you got a spreadsheet for that?
