Those are the more visible ones. I worry more about the ones with massive piles of cash influencing the politics in terms of education/health care/foreign policy.

The ultra fundy evangelicals!

Will and Harper. A documentary on Netflix is…different. I wasn’t sure how to take this as the subject matter is pretty controversial right now and then couple that with the fact that I’m not a huge Will Ferrel fan. Basically Will’s oldest friend comes out as a trans woman. They decide to...

Well, since the American Taliban influence global events then yes, that also affects Canadians. As for those violent episodes you talked about I didn’t catch any of that locally but there were tons of other crimes committed by white folk here in Kingston so it could be that they overshadowed...

Those small groups of Christian extremists are mostly responsible for interfering in women’s health care in the US and arguably prolonging the issues in the Middle East (through US policy). Since these issues are also arguably the most dangerous globally I’d say that’s quite a lot of influence...

Unless you are luggage in which case you’ll end up in Frankfurt

I thought that was a mark of a good deal…when both sides aren’t happy.

Anything can be serviced if you have the time/ money. Thing is who’s going to pay $500 to fix a TV that you can buy new for $299.

I still have a backlog of commercial 9mm but am saving the brass and cleaning and prepping it as I go. I bought the dies ages ago and have the projectiles etc. It might be my winter project this year. I’ve been very happy with my .38 spl loads and that’s saved me a fair bit.

Well…it’s inventive. You should have said “sure, here’s a toonie”.

Soylent Green. White people are tastier. It’s like veal.

Frathouses?

Soccer is more popular I think now. Especially with the younger generation/latinos and more so with young girls too. I’m not sure these customs totally endure. Maybe the flags but even that morphed from something patriotic to something way more nationalistic in terms of whose version of the...

What are the culture and customs in the US? It’s not a place I associate with culture (in its snobby form). I don’t know that everyone assimilates there, it’s still a collection of other cultures from what I see and they stopped burning witches a while back so that custom has gone.

Pumpkin pie is an abomination. Cinnamon on everything is just bad. The “cheese” on Kraft Dinner is an adhesive. There’s some Canadian things I just can’t get along with.

I put maple syrup on my porridge.

44km cycle ride on gravel. More than I’ve done in decades. I’m done. Pass the Advil.

PT Barnum’s clowns were in the ring rather than outside buying merch though.

No idea if it’s new but McAuslan Baltic Porter is delicious. Super well balanced for an 8% beer. Lovely flavours.

Messed about with the bikes today. Put antiseize on the pedals of the gravel bike and while there I had a look at the clip mechanism. Sure enough there were two more turns to slacken the mechanism but they were stiff. That should make a difference for clipping in and out. Trying to get the...
