fast lane

It’s a passing lane, not a fast lane.

“Trump signs executive order that Cuomo actually won and that Dick Cheney is still alive.”

“The aristocrats!”

I just noticed this on our calendar and had to wonder if the boss of the calendar company made them put this here.

Edit: Wikipedia says it is real:

Boss’s Day (also written Bosses Day or Boss’ Day) is generally observed on October 16 in the United States. It has been pitched as a day for employees to thank their bosses for being kind and fair throughout the year.

Samosas with spanakopita filling. I call them spanakomosas.

I worked at a shelter and one night an indigenous man had a heart attack. An elder came in later that day, lit some sage and smudged the place. At one point she stopped, and ushered something unseen out the back door.

The guy wasn’t dead. He was stabilized at the hospital. He returned to the shelter that night.

I generally enjoy and appreciate these rituals for bringing the community together and collectively processing grief and reminding us we are all important to each other. I am even giving her the benefit that she maybe performed this extra bit only to bring peace to those experiencing loss. But, oof. I needed a post-cringe shower after that.

Good lord, they do look just like my husband and me. I’m going to use this and a photo of us to make a “they’re the same picture” meme.

I don’t think the infrequent vibrations would contribute much to stem hardening. Granted, I’m not convinced the directly talking to plants thing contributes significantly to carbon monoxide harvesting. Just set up two USB powered fans that turn on and off every now and then. The gas you release as you sing My Humps from the kitchen will reach them.

Oh, no, this is the next big startup fad, isn’t it?

I thought the singing to plants thing was all about the directly breathing carbon dioxide onto them.

Obligatory “water is wet” post.

I used to have an automatic feeder that we left outside. We had all the forest cats knowing the time of day and visiting us. And we got regular long-term residents.

The statement they posted from Air Canada says:

our aircraft are positioned in the right place, for the duration of the stoppage and for when the time comes to restart our operation

which would effectively mean stranding unpaid crew across the globe for the duration of a strike/lockout to apply pressure to settle in their own favour.

Oh, wow, I see. That is quite devious. Thank you for sharing that. I will be sure to bring this up when the topic does inevitably come up.

AirCanada ghost them and change employee scheduling so as much as possible employee will be stranded outside of Canada, employees had to call ill en masse so they didn’t fly a one way to Beijing without hotel or way home.

Do you have a source for this?

Back in my day, PAC-Man ghosts stayed perfectly still, exhibiting no behaviour at all and that’s how we Lemmy people liked it!

Do not test us or we will throw you in Saskatchewan! A fate worse than death and — now that you ask — no, there is no escape. You will pray to the god who has forgotten you to be released to hell. Spoiler alert: you will wake up in Saskatchewan.
