One solitary Mars bar in the kids’ candy haul - must be the most expensive to manufacture and rarest in the variety boxes? Most prevalent this year: Smarties, Aeros, Kit Kats, Sour Patch. Happy Halloween!

Should we be worried about 3I/ATLAS? Seems the alien narrative may hit this week.

This overt trolling is quite something. It’s the brazen bit of “and they know we know they are lying (and they just don’t care)”. Of course, digital ID is only effective as a total control measure once you’ve cancelled cash and got the peasants onto a CBDC. So that’ll be the next speed run.

Facebook microphone pickup is ridiculous. I’ve literally expressed no interest, online or verbally, in ham radio before in my life. Say “that looks fun, I’d like to try that” while watching a radio sequence in “Elio” with the kids and I get a random highlight from a shortwave radio group on my next open.

Happy Birthday, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Released 30 years ago today, October 1995. Right in the middle of peak “teen musical imprinting” for me, was completely absorbed by the Pumpkins at the time. Still can recite every lyric and note of the solos. #musicstr #pumpkins #memories

In Canada we should be splashing around in near limitless energy resources, but we are governed by compromised dullards and so we get this. British Columbia to perma-ban the crypto industry from its electricity grid, and data centers will have to compete for power allocation every two years. Although as we are also in the process of dismantling property rights I doubt any serious business would want to take the risk anyway. #canada #energy #bitcoin

Those conspiracy theorists at it again. UK bank Natwest getting ready for the digital ID lockdown singularity. No beef for you this month, sir.

My spidey senses always tingle when retail get locked out of their trading platforms. Are the plebs going to be denied an entry, or an exit?

As true today as it was in 2021. #aws #tech

Tonight…. drying rosemary and thyme in the dehydrator. We have a lot, obvs. #foodstr #homesteading

The speed with which you can wreck a nation is breathtaking. I immigrated to Harper’s Canada in the early 2000s. Wasn’t an easy feat, back then. Felt like a completely different country.

In case you were under any illusion owning land was a solid investment, here comes BC, Canada, to prove the end game for land acknowledgements is voiding of private property rights. And clearly the ultimate beneficiaries of such chaos won’t be the tribes.

I can’t hear the synth in “Won't Get Fooled Again” now without thinking of F-18s. Well played, Tom, well played.

Why do kids always get sick at night time? #parentstr

Not only are Arbutus trees beautiful during the summer, with their peeling bark hues and smooth skin, apparently you also get a show during fall with these bright berries. My fave tree. Lucky to be in this part of the world. #treestr #nature #grownostr

Happy 40th birthday, Intel 80386! Launched October 17, 1985. I remember my Dad getting us a 386-SX20, which I soon broke by flipping the voltage selector on the back of the PSU while hunting for a volume control. I never confessed, shamefully.

This is just one of many simple ruses to get defined subsets of the populace to embrace digital ID. Why yes sir, with your imprinted bar code you may now enjoy Sam’s six-toe’d dancing girls.

Late season and the bees are slowing down, often spending many hours just resting on these chive flowers; some mornings we might find four or five on this plant having slept there overnight. #beestr #homesteading #farming #nature
