Vermont imports a quarter of its electricity from HydroQuebec. We’ve made it very clear this past weekend what we think of the administration. All the same, I completely understand.

I most frequently encounter these when feeding the cat, so in that case I have a spoon out already.

Surprised no one’s brought up Futurama yet.

Everyone assumes Canada is super liberal country just because of universal healthcare. They forget that Alberta is basically snowy Texas, and the other prairie provinces have more in common with the Midwest than New York.

Even if Canada would merge with the US, surely it wouldn’t become a state. We all know the importance of the Senate at this point, and how the two-senators-per-state rule affects things. At the very least, each province would want to become a state to get more senators, and it may be in the best interest of some of the larger provinces like Ontario or Quebec to subdivide to gain even more, if they can get away with it. Goodness knows the idea of splitting California has been floated by some to try to get something closer to senator-per-capita parity.

Trump said he’d end the war in a day. If it’s not over by Tuesday, I may start thinking he wasn’t being honest.

Both of those mice have weights you can add or remove to your liking. Maybe you took a few out of the old mouse so it was lighter?

The data brokers can still sell your data, it’s just a lot less useful to the marketing teams or scam artists that are buying it in bulk. For identity thieves, it may become more valuable, at least until word of your death works its way through the system, as there’s no living person to contest the impersonation.

Terry Pratchett wrote, “Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?” but I don’t think he had data brokers in mind when he wrote it in 2004.

Shortesy is a spin off of Letterkenny. Great show, so long as you’re comfortable with some blue comedy.

I’ll take the UK version any day. Robert Llewelyn did a great job as host. Did anyone ever have a successful build using hydraulics?

It was originally named for the founder and his four sons. Then, dad had another kid and redefined the meaning of the name to be the five sons.

The P90’s barrel wouldn’t be much longer than a pistol’s.

Your mistletoe is no match for my TOW missile.

It’s easy, just stay off the back spaces and this guy can’t hurt you. His compatriot, on the other hand…

GeForce 256 on my first Windows computer when I went to college. Before that, I was using motherboard graphics on a series of Macs growing up.

Welcome to the world of Monster Hunter.

Mountain Dew was invented as a mixer for moonshine, but these days it’s mostly drunk straight.

Interesting use of terms. In Discworld Dwarven society, being lowborn would be a good thing and while being high born is only one step below surface dweller. The dwarves are ruled by the Low King (or Queen). The lower you are, the deeper you are in the mine, and the more rich and important you must be.

No one’s said pineapple yet? Hawaiian is a staple pizza variety.
