I've had cheap stamped ones from old Canadian Tire level repair kits, but nothing this nice.

My dad made me stay up and watch SCTV one night because he liked it and thought I was old enough to like it too. Probably 1980 because I was enough of a fan I bought the Bob and Doug McKenzie album with my allowance when it came out in 81.

Waking up the cats by laughing so much.

SCTV has landed on prime video, in their original glory before syndication cuts.

Thanks! I was getting so bored with STTNG I was about to do the dishes but now I can procrastinate for another half hour.

Thanks!

And yeah it was pretty amusing, I stopped participating but still visited now and then, in case there were science posts but also for the comment section cage match. It felt like a lefty 4chan with user names.

Found this ancient post while looking up PZ to see why his blog is down, but that was my moment too. Got called an amoral "dictionary atheist" (as if there's any other kind) for basing my values around what I do believe (rational empirical materialism and humanism) instead of what I don't.

Just what you want to see at that time of night in that kind of weather. Even better than "501 Connaught"!

Do they give you emergency cab fare too? What's your curfew?

Yeah I'm not really against bike lanes, but if they won't clear them quickly I want an alternative route that doesn't have streetcar tracks instead (which hide under the snow and can catch your wheel). I should probably get a cheap rigid MTB to use as a snow bike, my old one rusted.

It's a potential adventure whether you break even or not. That's how I'd frame it.

I don't like bike lanes because they don't plow then in the winter.

As long as they maintain it! Actually the section of the lakeshore trail near me is a lot better than the street routes. It usually gets plowed pretty quickly & kept clear.

I know vehicular cycling is anathema these days and I'll probably get put on a blocklist, but this is why I'm ambivalent about bike lanes. #Toronto #wintercycling
