I caught this one on final approach in Newfoundland in 2009. You're welcome to use it if you wish. Unfortunately,a 1.7MP jpg is the best quality copy I have.

This makes us a threat and target to both sides. Bad idea. I'd rather be the DMZ than ground zero.

Now I've gone down a rabbit hole on Teague. Not just his designs but that he pretty much invented industrial design! Reach out if you can't find a Hawkeye. Mine deserves a better home but there's likely a better specimen on ebay. I will look forward to updates of your collection.

Beautiful collection. I have a Brownie Hawkeye somewhere in storage (I don't collect, it's just my mom's old one) so I had a close look at your Br's. That 'Technicolor' looks right out of the Jetsons. Recall cousin taking our pic w the Polaroid land cam. 2 steps. Wait, then peel, unlike the Onestep!

Wow, what a score. And Diego doesn't deserve her.

Did you know SNOLAB provided valuable work experience to 44 students over 3 cohorts last year? The majority (72%) come from Ontario institutions. 64% of SNOLAB alumni begin their careers in Ontario.

You guys are likely next for calling it the Kennedy center.

Enjoyed my first trip through there this past July when it was about 70° warmer. Can't imagine losing power at that temperature.

We are nothing but what we leave behind. Build something.

Please preserve that brutalist library. It will either be our parliament building, or a gladiatorial arena in our dystopian future

Seems accurate

They need a name that distinguishes them from the buttons drivers have to press.

Someday, when these are doing backflips off our roofs and crashing through our bedroom windows, we will look back on these videos and smile like we do with those old timey aircraft movies.

Slap-drone A slap-drone is a type of Culture drone dedicated to policing the actions of a person who may reasonably be suspected of misbehaviour.   A slap-drone would be assigned to, for example, someone who has...

I think he's describing the 'slap-drones' in Iain Banks' Culture universe. Not surprising he's a fan since he's named his drone barges after the ships in that universe. theculture.fandom.com/wiki/Slap-dr...

This changes everything

It went extra innings of game 7 in the world series. It takes 2 amazing teams to do that. A microgram of luck decided the winner. Both teams won if you ask me. Unfortunately there is only enough trinkets for one of them.

We released it as a tracer gas in fume hood containment tests. It went right up the stack. 25 years since I was involved with that so I'm not sure if they still do. ASHRAE-110 was the test standard.

Oh!, I see. I've accidentally learned something else today 😁

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Oh, I don't know. I don't follow. I think I saw this on random sports television in a bar a few years ago and have been giggling about the name ever since.

A few years ago I accidentally learned the name of the championship series for this sport. It may be worse. Doesn't help that it's sponsored by a sausage company.

There is no race to orbit the moon.

Welcome to my tinnitus!

The Handmaid's Tale among more than 200 books to be pulled at Edmonton public schools | CBC News A list confirmed by CBC News shows titles like The Handmaid's Tale and Brave New World are among books to be pulled. The development comes after a policy from Alberta's education minister outlines new...

Pay attention, Canada. If Alberta is successful in this book banning, this will spread. Look around you, b/c this is how it starts. We're on the same ledge the US was on. And we either start fighting this right-wing rise now, or we follow the Americans over the edge.

I spent a couple of weeks on a job in Sydney about 20 years ago and was informed by someone in a pub, so I assume reliably, that the Cape Breton accent is due to the fact that Capers are just Newfoundlanders who ran out of money on their way to Toronto 😜

I've worked with several Newfoundlanders in my life and have found they lose, or don't use?, that accent unless talking to other Newfoundlanders. When they get going amongst themselves it is almost incomprehensible to my ears (I grew up in Ontario)...

I am 61 today and would share a similar list but mine is getting a little too existential (as yours may) for what should be a day to celebrate. Happy birthday to us!

Police searching for driver after cyclist struck and killed in Pelham A cyclist has died after being struck by a vehicle in the Niagara Region last week.

Niagara Police are looking for the driver of a white dodge ram pick up who hit, ran and killed a cyclist around 6pm on August 12, Welland Rd and Effingham St. Send them info if you got it! This shameless horrific act cannot stand:

🧵 Dear Republican lawmakers,

Canada has the largest intact boreal forest on the planet.

An increasingly hotter world due to #ClimateChange makes longer dry seasons, far larger wildfires & yes, more smoke. No amount of "raking" fixes it. The scientists warned of exactly this for a very long time /1
