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. 😫

oh, actually it's tonight! and this'll be the first time david's touring as his own drummer, which is cool. folks are saying it's giving a whole different feel this time around, and from the video samples, i bet it's a good one.

he’s playing at the great hall again tomorrow night (toronto); wishing we were going again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXJyFBVK-NY

new "santa cruz" pedro the lion album is one of his best ever i think… hopefully i’m not overselling it — it’s a lot about his childhood experiences, ones which resonate w me. and the production is in my wheelhouse… on first listen it was kinda underwhelming but now i think it kinda clicked.

@levisan hah i think i found this out as an adult too, after asking my aunt about her fruitcake recipe the last time we were having family christmas at my (teetotaler) grandparents house

@levisan i think for folks who drink often you also start to love the boozey part of alc drinks, whereas if you don’t, for most people the noticeable presence of alcohol is off-putting. kinda like spiciness in food.

@notinourname i think this might depend on your instance, as it does search any part of the fediverse your instance knows about, but no instance is gonna know about everything (i guess primarily it knows about accounts its users follows and servers it subscribes to through relays) https://www.reddit.com/r/Mastodon/s/xID49xCvhS

@jgg probably accurate!

@notinourname oh yikes. well that’s super sad… 😞

why does sam altman always look like his soul got sucked out by some kind of red skull nazi time portal? #openai #nazitimeportal

@corruptian@mastodon.cloud hah neat. i don’t think it’s the same though because this is the spine:

my dad found a pretty wild medical text at a local charity shop

all these people scrambling to back up their old google analytics data before the whole system gets deleted on july 1. makes me glad i got the process going last week. bet there’s crazy amounts of API requests slamming google right now.

@levisan there’s a reason christmas fruit cakes just have more depth with the rum in there and it’s not bc you’re getting drunk of it (probably)

@levisan it’s pretty hard to mimic the bite and aroma of alcohol in mixed drinks though, which is often why the virgin versions somehow lack something
