I'm almost there... moved everything important over to protonmail a few years back, just haven't deleted my 20 yr old gmail account yet because it's tied to an old phone that I still use for apps and taking cat pics, and in case there's something I forgot to change.

I get roughly 1 or two emails a month from places I'm not willing to give my good email to and that's about it.

Canada here. Winter never, unless we have a rare warm (above -10c/14f) day. Spring as often as I can if/when it's nice enough outside. Summer usually open until the temps get around 27c/80f then closed and the air conditioner on.

I live in a roughly 100 yr old house though, so with all the cracks etc this place tends to self-ventilate anyway.

Ya maybe it's the cynic in me but the whole story just sounds... so weird. Guy with body armor loads rental car with weapons, explosives, and a small library of propaganda just to drive nearly 2000 miles to ram a fence, crash into a couple of easily avoidable wire spools in the middle of a yard, and shoot himself?

And of course "3d printed gun parts" has to be randomly tossed in there too.

Damn nice shot. Practice makes perfect.

Yes. It can vary from cat to cat just like any animal and depends on the situation. My one little boy Stewie (a little orange boy, sorry I don't have a pic at the moment) likes to greet his people every morning, and you can see the excitement when he hears his name. He arches his back, wiggles his little butt and rams your legs until you pick him up and cuddle him for a few minutes, purring like an old Ford with a misfire.

If you're not around cats much you probably won't notice easily, because a lot of cats are a little wary around people they are not familiar with, and with some cats the cues can be fairly subtle. Some have resting bitch face like my other cat Trudy. She will be absolutely happy as hell but somehow still looks like she's plotting your murder.

Well, if you happen to be in Canada around the beginning of August...

I'm getting old, can't do that kind of shit anymore without suffering for it for days afterwards but it sure was fun at the time though.

I had saved up over $1300 from odd jobs/paper route in my teens just for it. On my 18th, I bought 30 hits of acid and a few cases of beer for me and my friends, rented a motel room under a different name 80 miles from home, and partied for about 2 days.

I'm in Manitoba, we're expecting up to a foot of snow tonight and tomorrow.

Not really unusual weather for the time of year here aside from slightly warmer temps. We usually get a good storm or two before spring graces us with her presence.

Anyone paying attention should know by now, we even had a conservative MP wearing a Maga hat the last time Orange Julius was voted in.

Oh so the batteries are good, I just need a new tv every time I use the remote.

Ah, That explains why this remote is so long.

I think I found the remote to change this godawful channel but the batteries are dead.

 

I wonder if JB Weld can fix this. I guess only one way to find out.

 

They're from the phones you see in old movies that you had to crank to talk to an operator, commonly used up until the 1950's. I put my multimeter on one and it's still reading 1.3 volts. The owner told me I can take the whole lot of them if I want them which I'm tempted to do just because I like to collect old junk but I probably drag enough useless crap home as it is.

 

I tried looking around a little and it sounds really scammy to me. All the contact info and domain registrars is listed "redacted for privacy." Personally the whole thing seems to smell funny to me but I could be wrong. Anyone used or heard of this site before? I just want to make sure my daughter isn't going to get screwed over

In the background of the one pic you can see one of the abandoned schoolhouses in the distance.

 

I didn't get a closer pic of this one sadly because a)Bees and b) I got distracted by the old Fargo that's directly behind me in this pic.

I've always wondered how many people fell for that.

 

Well that was unexpected. Rip Matthew
