@ink_slinger It's a bit anticlimactic TBH, he ended up 'hunting' my kid anyway - they played together for a while and had a lot of fun. no maiming to my knowledge.

[SCENE: me chasing my kid through a giant indoor playground structure]

Random Boy: Why are you carrying a sippy cup?

Me: [indicating my kid a few meters away] So my kid has something to drink.

Random Boy: [eyes glinting]...I can hunt your kid for you.

Friends, I think I just met a kid assassin.

Me: [seeing a 'mature content' advisory on a food travel show]

are they...fucking the food?

Honestly impressed by the number of ways my body can low-key fail with age

@Supernova It started with "Believe" and proceeded into slightly covered unmentionables, so I'm not 100% on the full phrase.

In my heart, I hope it said "Believe in Yourself", supporting and uplifting her partner in a challenging, intimate time.

Much respect to the mom at the playground yesterday whose tramp stamp was an inspirational quote

I've been asked to read a poem or scripture at my uncle's funeral on Saturday. I've got some good candidates, but I'm struggling with theme.

Do I talk about how death comes for us all eventually?
That the pain of loss is the price of joy?
The best way to honor the dead is to help the living?
That life is an evolution and no one is ever fully understood?

He and I weren't especially close, but he was good to me and I want to honor him. So do I speak of him, the audience, or Life itself?

Happy Birthday, Calendar!

ME: [about to make a cut on some wrapping paper]

ALSO ME: [jumping out of a time machine from a two minutes in the future] you're going to want that a few centimeters longer

A nativity scene, but with xenomorphs

Woah, shots fired - by Macleans no less!

"Tim Hortons is not a defining national institution. Rather, it is a chain of thousands of doughnut shops, several of which have working toilets."

@Douglewars Would a multi-voiced MIDI system work for your needs?

@allan This is a good take, and the piece I keep hitting up against. Carbon tax is short term negative, but effects are real and immediate. On the flip side, it's very hard to use the genius of capitalism to fight climate change without it.

@ajroach42 You may also want to do a search for Magenta - Google folks have been using deep learning to develop generative music tools.

@aral There are contributors both with and without beards. I think they met their diversity quota, Aral.

@keithzg Maybe! I was just fascinated by Bulk Barn personally. Usually when I go to a store starting with "Bulk", things are super cheap. I've just never seen this marketing strategy before.

So, Bulk Barn's pricing model seems to be less "we buy in bulk and pass the savings on to you"

and more

"where else are you gonna get 50 lbs of yeast?"
