Dear Rideau Canal Skateway: Thank you for a great skating season Skaters, walkers and runners reveled in the Rideau Canal Skateway on March 4, the last of its 56 days this season.

Sweet read from Natasha Baldin about the end of the Rideau canal skating season: ottawacitizen.com/news/local-n...

There's a new guy in town. His name's Robocop.

I'm afraid so. If it makes you feel better, the one I've used forever is a Pioneer from like Sears my dad got sometime in the 80s (I think). There's a real wide range of turntables.

Honestly, for a first record player, get something that has a tone arm with a counter weight (so it won't wear through records too fast) and if it's a used one, buy a new low-end cartridge from wherever.

I was gonna wish you a happy birthday either way, tbh. (Happy birthday!)

Ten glorious years of a guy who has mostly been the president and always been the main character of American political life doing posts like this and everyone trying to figure out what cable news segment he saw, misunderstood in the way a dog might misunderstand a crossword, and made into policy.

And like to pick Tom Cruise in particular. The thing that makes his movies so compelling is he does all those stunts! The whole of it is that he busts his ass

This next wave tho…

Absolutely. I’m already interested in the teams, even a marginal headline is gonna get me to click

Honestly. Give me a β€œyour team(s)” section below a top five block or whatever.

It does take a wee bit longer than you’d expect though

05.02.2026 11:56 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

You’ll be fine. As long as your happy with the length fit, you’ll absolutely get used to the looseness

Oh for sure. Took me a bit to get used to. I only converted a year ago, but came around to it.

05.02.2026 11:51 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Weird at first, but yeah. Add the second insole of its too much. That sorted me out

That stings. Today genuinely was my best-ever time

Related, when I worked underground, one of the guys told me that if I ever needed to look busy just grab a wrench and walk a little quicker

An all-time best score. Pretty satisfying.

So the machine dash basically lands like a rimshot on a failed joke. The machine repeats itselfβ€”and it says the same thing over again.

A human writer uses a dash to set off a relatively abrupt jump in thought. But the machines are constantly calculating the most predictable next thing to say, plodding around the same area. So the machine dash looks like it's gesturing toward something new, only to always land on something obvious.

I mean if you’re forcing me to make scalloped potatoes, I don’t see a downside
