That it is reported the IMF has praised Canada as "strongest fiscal position in G7" says less about Canada's strength and more about the weakness of the G7. Yay! Canada is the healthiest of horses at the glue factory.

IMF Sees Canada’s Fiscal Position as Strongest in Group of Seven

The International Monetary Fund lauded Canada’s fiscal position relative to its peers as Prime Minister Mark Carney prepares to give an update on...

@❒ PictureRoom this is one of my fave places to grab some of those forgotten workhorses of the day. It's just south of Batavia, NY. I'll even be passing by it tomorrow. Sometimes new subjects show up here but mostly it's just sitting there.

@Simon Dixon would appreciate this. @Efrat Fenigson get Karla Treadway on NOSTR!

This sustainable community with a focus on permaculture and upcycling in Costa Rica looks amazing! I'm a sucker for earthships. Does anybody know anything about St Michaels? Positive? Negative?

First it was the miners... Now it's defunct baseball teams.

Need one say more? Lizard Lagard of the ECB gushes like a schoolgirl over WEF CEO elitist technocratic authoritarian central banker politician for Time. Calls Carney the "George Clooney of finance". 🤮

So the Liberal Party of Canada, the "governing party" of the ungovernable, at their party convention just passed a non-binding resolution to ban social media to those under 16 years old. This is following the playbooks of other cucked western democracies (in name only). My question: how much value is an account that is already age of majority? (Don't bother looking at it... There's nothing there but it's proudly an older acct than Elon's). I double dog dare any "free speech platform" to require ID to check. They can all GTFOH. NOSTR gonna maybe boom again?

Nothing ruins a perfectly good day like a busted bolt that you gotta drill out... But it's in a spot that now requires removal of other parts (hope none of those bolts break, too) and 10x more work. Sigh... Should've had my mechanic do it in the first place. They take responsibility for busted bolts.

Watching the Irish Convoy brings a tear to my eye... I wish them well. It's so much a replay of what went down in Canada 4 years ago. Practically an exact match. The leader of the convoy learned much from what went down. BUT! They're convinced their bank accounts won't get shut down. That was a final step along with Marshall law. Let's see what happens when the people rise up and hope for the best.

Huh... Just found out that I'm one out of every seven people that can voluntarily contract my tensor tympani muscle. I thought everyone could. That's the muscle in your inner ear that when contracted gives a rumbling sound. It's also good for equalizing air pressure. However, I cannot wiggle my ears like my grandma could.

I come here seeking solutions. I find solutions. I find solutions to problems I didn't know exist. I feel curious. I go on other platforms... And I find problems. Loud problems. Emotional problems. Problems without solutions. Problems I didn't know exist. I feel anxious. Huh. Ain't that something.

Desperate times call for desperate measures? On the same day that Iran starts demanding Bitcoin for safe transit if the strait, corus entertainment, a nearly bankrupt media company in Canada that owns the wretched Global News is advertising Bitcoin miners and pushing them on X, too. Never thought I'd see the day. (Yes, it's real and not some squatter. It goes right to their own website).

While my truck is in the shop getting it's annual inspection and repairs in studying... Turning my entire backyard into a garden and food forest. No, it's not big but I shell out property tax for something I have to maintain as some bygone era of grass lawn and it is unproductive. Currently looking into the Paris Method. With about 900 sq.ft. of space (3 rows at 3'x30' each) I should be able to grow the family's needs for much of the year even with winter being almost half the year. This is how I choose to spend my time instead of dwelling on Canada's collapse into a false democracy (and ironically more like Japan's govt where the LDP has dominated for 70 years and proven the govt should just be ignored).

I work for myself. View quoted note →

50 years ago today... and I've got one of the tickets.

Gotta admit, the view from the bar in the Dome is killer for watching a game. Blue Jays v Dodgers... Avenging world series loss? This is not but a step towards that.
