Raise the Titanic Explore and plunder the wreck of the Titanic, then raise it and recover its log.

I had to look that up - it sounds pretty cool!

Will the government continue to investigate the "allegations" of AC's 'industry standard' practice of demanding unpaid work from FAs while planes are on the ground, or are they going to pretend it never happened if the contract is ratified?

Safari's Hide Distracting Items would be so much better and faster with a keyboard shortcut instead of having to do two mouse clicks to get it started.

Guess what?
The story about the trans M&S employee and the bra fitting is a pack of lies and distortions.

Haven’t seen it in 45 years, but I’m about to re-watch Raise the Titanic.

I think the best comment about the expense of making this movie was someone who said, β€œit would have been cheaper to lower the ocean.”

Did you tell them to get off your lawn? Or are you still too young for that?

Andre Philippe Gagnon / Robert Micheals opened (Micheals completely blew me away, so much so I forgot Gagnon was the one we were there to see)

Fuck Air Canada, Fuck CIRB, and fuck the Minister of Jobs and Families.

Flight Attendants deserve way better that this unholy trinity of a shit show that’s trying to force them back into free labor for Air Canada.

I love how bad some surveillance photos are that police post:
β€œIf you recognize these people call crime stoppers!”

I look at them and I’ve seen more recognizable faces in QR codes.

"allegations" of what Air Canada claims is 'industry standard' treatment of flight attendants and expectations of up to 35 hours a month of unpaid labor.

Price labels, side by side, for boneless chicken breasts. Both cost $15. One weights 855g, the other weighs 1108 grams. That's a 264 g / 0.58 pounds difference.

Should grocery stores be allowed to get away with these pricing scams? Two packages. Same price. 266 g / .58 lbs difference. Sometimes the weight varies even more.

From Real Canadian Superstore, the same company caught including the weight of the packaging in the net weight of meats and poultry.

PSA you can disable copilot in your github account so their nonsense doens't have access to your repos / account.

It's ironic that the guy who hates "safe spaces" needed a "safe space" to run in because he blew the election in his own riding.

Meanwhile, the Americans with Disabilities Act made closed captions mandatory for on online news videos more than 10 years ago.

If we're lucky, the ACA will do something about this by... 2040.

There's no closed captions on this news video. Canadian journalists & news sites post inaccessible videos all the time.

I'd like to thank the six-year-old Accessible Canada Act for being a useless, steaming pile of shit, as it does nothing to make online media accessible for deaf Canadians.

I think it's the beer that's freakishly small. I've never seen beer served in shooter glasses before.

A screen shot from the game Quake 2, of the player holding a gun, and rounding a corner. The main color palette is drab browns and oranges, with subdued hints of green, red and blue.

I was crolling by and I thought that was a Quake II screenshot - it's nailed the color palette from the game.

It's why I'm not ordering physical items from the US. Shipping to Canada is already 7X the US shipping, plus tariffs, + brokerage fees, processing fees, and other Trumpian bullshit?

With my social media posts? I'd be better off fucking a wood chipper than crossing the US border to get packages.

Air Canada flight attendants to defy back-to-work order, remain on strike: union | CBC News Air Canada flight attendants will defy the back-to-work order and remain on strike after theΒ federal government ordered binding arbitration to end the work stoppage, the Canadian Union of Public Emplo...

Air Canada gave its CEO a 233% raise, did a half billion dollar stock buy back. Now it claims it can't afford to give flight attendants proper raises and pay for all hours worked.

AC keeps running to the government to solve its labor problems instead of paying employees what they're worth.

I got a 500GB version in that size to use as a scratch disk for Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint so I can extend the life of the SSD in my Mac mini.

I got another one to back up my wife's Mac mini. It took two minutes & twenty seconds to back up the first 81GB. 😳

Forced arbitration does not mean forced settlement.

But it does mean Air Canada can continue fucking over flight attendants to the tune of tens of thousands of hours of free labour they’ll never have to pay for.
