@schizanon hah. haggard, hollow-faced content marketing manager "oh i dont keep track but probably take 2mo per year minimum, check out my tiktok"

@schizanon hopefully they wouldnt actually know, but hopefully they could pull an anonymized scatterplot to show you

i’m not in the EA community at all, but i dig the way the lesswrong.org forums work, and just realized the software’s open source! anyone tried setting it up before? https://github.com/ForumMagnum/ForumMagnum

just kidding, i didnt actually cry. but i feel like i should have. man, why didn't i move it first?

just smashed my dad's old macintosh G4 cube to pieces by moving the shelf it was on without taking it off first. AMA but no i only cried a little (so far)

glad to find out someone loved "hot fuzz". enjoyed the clips and comparisons with the director's pre-industry just for fun work too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cdz-jfxIRUY

why is it that northern canada has terrible biting bugs — mosquitos, black flies, deer flies, etc. — but patagonia reportedly does not?

@levisan yeah that sucks. guess it depends how gross the rivers get here too — a lot of them are much better than they were decades ago but depends on water flow and sources. maitland river in particular is kinda low flow i guess but has had a long history of environmental/conservation groups working to keep it clean, or so i read while i was there. so maybe worth trying to find out if any rivers in your area are like that.

a day starting with dish-washing, tidying, then lunch at flux brewery with my friend mark, and then helping go through stuff at my grandpas (he just went into a retirement home), and then various more chores at home. nice to have busy days that aren’t consumed with “work”.

@levisan polluted or otherwise foul, i mean

@levisan but i legit didn’t know there were places in rural canada with no water play options. do they not have swim holes in your area? just too polluted?

@levisan soon as i migrated south after the weekend i rejoined these conditions myself. head north?

@freeschool whoa seriously? must’ve been one intense match…

@schizanon nice. what’re you using to do it?

@levisan you shoulda seen the little kids rafting down the nooks on inflated pool toys, jumping in everywhere, etc. i couldn’t believe no one was getting hurt!

mainland = maitland :/

back from falls reserve @ mainland river conservation. loved chilling in the falls (such warm water!)

@NanoRaptor if i recall, i used to wake up to take it at 5am-ish so it’d hit by 7

prepping for a camping trip with some dudes this weekend. what am i gonna forget? so far realized i’d left my toothbrush off the packing list, so that’s a close call.

well, this is annoying. i thought i'd taken the election to do the "quick method" of HST returns for 2023, but turns out i didnt actually submit it, and now i've got to go back and get alll those HST amounts out of my expenses. 😫
