I'm going to say one thing about a possible firefly reboot or whatever.

You do not need Joss Whedon to make that show work.

idk, it really depends on how the PR from the Jets goes in the next few weeks.

speaking for me and I suspect a lot of canadian hockey fans, I'm not mad the americans won- it sucks, but that's how it goes sometimes.

Oh I've been there for a while now.

Except the new thing usually makes me question if I need better house insurance.

I mean, if anything, Child's Play has been reaping the rewards :D

But yes, there are definitely a lot of very nice wood things around the house now.

I didn’t think 2026 I would have to explain to translink how street signs work. But here we are.

β€œCars don’t ignore laws” i mean technically that’s true.

Shout out to the blue Subaru outback driver who was looking at their phone as they were merging into me, not yielding like the sign says to do on low level road and esplanade

Legitimately if this was a real product and lighter than a second battery, it would open up a lot of options for ebike touring

Me this morning: WOO HOO USA GOLD!

Me now: Canadians, if you'd like to burn down the White House again, I won't stop you.

It would be better if literally any of the players used their fame or fortune to lobby for better road safety.

Being brave and refinishing my kitchen cabinets myself. Any thoughts as to if this western maple or eastern maple or something else? #woodworking

people are murdering entire families in their cars without serving a day of prison time, so I kinda question this bill's equating "treating ebikes like cars" with "accountability"

Hey Metro Vancouver, can we stop building towers in Langley and force the City of Vancouver to densify?

Oh! sorry, I entirely read that as charles.

idk, having a national crown seems reasonable and neat piece of art.

The wikipedia snippet about the Canadian Royal Crown.

The wikipedia snippet about the Canadian Royal Crown.

This would be a very good project for a cosplayer/propmaker to make for real-

Technically both, but also neither depending on where the rock is.

idk, given that the players themselves have asked to not have officials at the hogline now, it's pretty clear the the actual act isn't the problem, but the reaction to it.

16.02.2026 05:27 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

of the lights blinking red? If that was the case the rock would have been burned.

Except the electronic trigger in the stone that measures hog line violations wasn't triggered.

Which is why they were so upset by the accusation.

16.02.2026 05:02 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

but accusing anyone of cheating like that is absolutely meant to provoke a reaction- and accusing folks who have been curling at this level for 20 years like this is also bad.
