this purple thing is the universal symbol for "i was dumb and upgraded to sonoma"

after spending a few days in a haze of fever and headaches, felt great to do some physical work and be out and about. (also picked up a 90’s freezer from simcoe and got it set up in our basement)

finally put the #kei truck’s roof racks to work today toting wood for a ramp i (thought i) needed to load a cast iron stove i got at auction in dundas ($30 including chimney!)

@jeremiah @rimugu @wjmaggos we also subsidized our CANDU nuclear reactors w huge amounts of public money and bailed out their cost overruns. i expect similar situations have repeated around the world, though i know some other countries do much better w cost of nuclear

@jeremiah @rimugu @wjmaggos and not just externalities that aren’t figured in, but subsidies in many countries make it hard for non-oil/non-coal energy sources; seems like that’s changing more and more. canada for example subsidized our oil sands production like crazy to make them viable

just put a ladder/lumber/kayak rack on the acty!

i have basically 2 modes of writing when messaging folks. sometimes it’s like a switch flips in my head and i toggle from this mode (w no capitalization and limited punctuation) to…

This! Much more proper and professional. And my vocabulary switches to become more formal as well! Sometimes I don’t even realize I’ve switched during a conversation with someone. I imagine it could be quite jarring for them at times.

@kmeisthax @pluralistic oh! i wondered if i was getting worse at googling, but maybe my old google-fu just isn’t with the times anymore!

@Baley oh! is that why orange was chosen? huh, i hadn’t heard this before.

‪i’d actually like to go to bed right now but i’m already serving as a bed for this one… her name is winnifred and she’s way too comfortable right now. ‬

good evening

@betschart love that too. haven’t ever heard of it as a sign of autumn before though! wish we got more mist and fog in this part of ontario.

@LouisIngenthron brutal. what a nightmare. are you required to have homeowners insurance? obv you would want it but why is it necessary to keep the house? (ontarian renter over here)

@freemo do other instances not have this issue? i don’t hear about others having to do this, but even before joining qoto heard about y’all having to

a few domestic scenes. last night our freezer failed, but fortunately we were able to find a spot for everything in other freezers. grateful for friends and family that are happy to help, for a life in a place that affords little luxuries and joys and moments of peace every day (if i take the time to let them happen)

i’ve been waiting for daylight savings to “fall back” so i can wake up on time more easily, but it’s still over a month away!

(realistically, i’d probably need to have the time rollback happen every month or two to actually keep me on track)
