Fish; octopi’s best friend!

Edit: here’s a great what-if novel about octopi evolution: The Mountain In The Sea by Ray Nayler. They don’t punch fish. They do other things!

Canada is on fire but it’s not petroleum, it’s our forests actually burning up.

If only there was a way to make politicians beholden to the electorate, instead of special interest groups with money.

As a former RCAF maintainer, with procurement experience, these vague statements of ‘concern’ lead me to believe that the Snowbirds won’t last 3 more years. The end of an era is coming.

The Minister just wants to “get them a better plane”. But F18s don’t really make sense to operate just for airshows when F35s are coming. I feel that jets are so costly, and so few, that the days of dedicating more than one airframe to demonstration of just not gonna fly.

Canadian Tire Flyer Promotes Savings, Tries To Hide Actual Price. (lemmy.ml)
 

This is about the weekly flyers. Canadian Tire has been close at hand all of my life, a reliable source for things we all need now and then. Today's CTC flyer set my teeth on edge and I resolved to immediately bin this bit of advertising noise from now on. On every page, every item has a big red number proclaiming how much I could save by purchasing the item now. I hate that. When I look at flyers, I want to see what the price is! But because there are hundreds of items in the flyer, it is takes considerable effort to focus and concentrate to find the ACTUAL price. To make it worse,the "Reg Price" is printed in a different, low contrast, colour, and much smaller size than the "SAVE" starburst. I can't help thinking that by emphasizing the (supposed) savings. Canadian Tire is trying to fool me. Well I won't be fooled, because I won't be reading it ever again. I must admit I will miss it for awhile. Probably a very short while.
