@dipodomysdeserti I’ve never heard of a drug that can kill you so easily. Fentanyl is one…

Yeah. My sister was starting out as an RN when the pharmaceutical reps first started really pushing the “safer” forms of this stuff, ensuring them that it was safe with little habit forming risk. Of course anyone who took the time to actually read up on it knew that was BS. She’s had a number of fellow nurses start abusing opioids as well. Trust the scientific process, not the guys with marketing degrees.

@svend I've never tried to take a wheel off a modern VAG product. I've just seen the caps and thought they were the head of the bolt and VW had decided to use a kind of torx head on the bolts for some unknown reason. They are already silly enough to use bolts instead of the superior studs so why not top them off with a kind of torx head instead of a standard hex?

@cb Not bad, could be more...but still cool though!!!

@cb I'd heard it was basically just another PA. Seemed kinda nice actually, but there wasn't a soul out and about downtown when I poked around.

@cb Saskatchwan to toronto, that's like a 47 hour drive at 110 kph right?

I want to drive across Canada so badly. Had a trip planned for queeeebec but COVID happened.

It's something I would love to do someday as well....my parents did it twice before I was born, so I'd love to do it myself. Even better if I did it in some sort of weird and quirky classic car or the like 😛

@fintail said in Another day, another few dollars:

@cb This is the most cryptic thing I've seen here in some time 😉

Don't get too anxious - if your protections are anything like they would be in Murka, nothing will come of it on a professional level.

Cryptic is half the fun! Even though at least 50% of people here know what I do.

@midengine tell that to the indigenous population.

@cb I'm ok as long as I stay bent over, which is good practice for the foundation work I'm going to have to pay for.

@cb I like to write Victim Impact Statements for every slight inconveience or perceived micro agression in my life.

Grounds in my coffee at Starbucks? Next day I'm showing up with 5 pages on how it ruined my life.

@urambo-tauro That's amazing. You could've told me that's a Turner painting of a beach after dusk.

@cash-rewards I keep trying to see Antarctica. No joy so far.

So this was not localized entirely in your kitchen?

@cb I grew up in the tropics. The seasonal daylight changes at 40º north are a novelty to me even 23 years later. I cannot begin to imagine what it'd be like to experience midnight sunlight. That just seems otherworldly.

@cb Rather the sun was shining, but inclement weather cuts down on the shirtless, drunken, opportunistic lumberjacking that got an alcohol ban implemented on long weekends. we're a poorly behaved people on average.

@carsoffortlangley no went there for two weeks. Wife is from there on both sides.gingers everywhere.

@cb good, else i think it would be too much to bear

@cb said in Whelp, I feel like this may about to become a me problem:

@rallydarkstrike If they’re found to be the cause, they normally do.

Unless you have connections. This dude was setting fires for at least four years before this.

If he hadn't set yet another fire in the same county and at the same time as the largest fire in Colorado history was going on, I bet the authorities would've kept ignoring what he was doing.

Was just watching the latest Sailing Uma on YT. They're meandering up the west coast of Norway. They had a few seconds of the Aurora, too and it was beautiful. I'd like to see it for real before I die.

@cb g'night

@cb It's not a bad day to go riding... you're just in a bad place

That really makes me not miss doing rural appraisals in S.E. Michigan. Their roadways are about as "improved" as that road is. Many are still just gravel and dirt. They've done an absolute number on my car over the years.

@cb So trippy.

@cb Hi Sammy!

Sammy knows gun safety. Hopefully.

@cb

R nineT = Richipster [Rich Hipster] Bike. Same with the new Thruxton.
I don't mean that in a derogatory way, I've ridden with the dudes and gone for halibut tacos. They're alright people.

@rallydarkstrike said in Goodnight Oppo:

My area of Nova Scotia had a lot of German settlers, so I live 5 minutes from Lunenburg, and I know of an East and West Berlin, and a New Germany in terms of place names nearby 😛

What's the point of just re-using German names! Especially Berlin haha. I guess it wasn't a big deal back before WW2 when they named it.
Aus has a whole state called New South Wales. We don't have a Wales, and the state isn't South of it. It's just...the NEW South Wales.
