@JayGenXer You’re not wrong, but what’s the move to offset a decision made 50years ago?

[Dean MacNeil @DeanMacNeil]

@MarkJCarney I applaud the move to cut gas tax. Frustrating that oil company’s viewed it as an opportunity to profit.

@anton_rabie Came across this gem emptying boxes today.

Is our biggest human problem that progress is now beyond our intelligence?

[Dean MacNeil @DeanMacNeil]

The @SphereVegas should do a show called Fear. It would dramatically simulate the visceral experiences of fight of flight and catastrophic events (nuclear winter, tsunami, asteroid). The credits should run with the Curb Your Enthusiasm music.

Peaches and nectarines are the perfect food… to eat over a sink.

@stats_feed @tobi I’m all for making a stronger Canada but this is a bit of rage baiting. Lots of underlying factors including different types of economies and IMF conversion of USD. In truth, based on purchasing power, Canada is about 75%-80% of US.

Why is it that humans need to be buried in a cemetery, but your backyard is perfectly acceptable if it’s a pet?

Sometimes for some people tension headaches are sadly just attention headaches.

[Dean MacNeil @DeanMacNeil]

Many 70s detective shows built tension with the immediately familiar ‘pop’ of an instrument that you rarely hear anymore: bongos

I love the symmetry of Feb 2026.

War drones take instructions from operators over a tethered fiber-optic cable - radio signals can get jammed. The cable on the drone unspools like fishing line and can be 30-40km long. Left behind are dangerous webs of long glass splinters.

@RKing618 People who have been there enough over a lifetime know that it’s sadly a shell of what it once was…

New one today …. @Amazon delivery guy came into our house to deliver a package. Wife found/surprised him in the foyer.

Exciting that the Christmas season is almost upon us, but sometimes it can be a challenge for those of us that are eggnogstic.

I just figured out that I was an early adopter of two remarkable moments: as a young kid I used mosaic to access the internet in 1993, apparently one of the first 12M people. I began using Ai/ChatGPT on Dec 10.22, ten days after their launch, so one of the first 1.5M people.

[Dean MacNeil @DeanMacNeil]

The most advanced Ai doesn’t come close to the sophistication of the human brain. For Ai to get there will require absolutely immense amounts of power. Meanwhile, my brain works on a sandwich.

If necessary, the next Guardians of the Galaxy movie could easily replace Groot with Ted Danson.
