21C in the winter and 19C in the summer

During the winter up north it’s bleak and cold for the trades, I’ll see the sun for an hour or so when I wake up. Personally I wake up every other hour during daytime sleeps, so I’m rarely well rested.

But the pay bump is quite good, and there’s way less supervision micromanaging you.

Anyone legitimately curious it’s saying welding fumes are harmful. The thing on the left is a welding stinger for stick welding.

Whether he holds those views himself or not is hard to nail down. My best guess is that he’s likely pandering for votes. Playing it smart by keeping the door open but being noncommittal.

Technically yes but it’s around .5% or less which is the same as most non alcoholic beers

Try a good quality kombucha. Ice cold and carbonated they have a very similar bite/finish to a lot of beers. Most have sweet notes but are low sugar.

I find everyone uses time for long distances. I know it’s a 13 hour drive to Edmonton but damned if I know how many kilometres it is.

I’ve read all the Witcher books, tried watching that dogshit show Hissrich made and couldn’t stomach it.

I read The Foundation series by Asimov and then watched Apple TV’s interpretation and really enjoyed the creative direction they took with it.

Netflix is a joke. An overpriced joke.

Just an fyi, this is actually dangerous for babies. Their airways aren’t developed enough and it’s a suffocation risk.

Back in my day we played Jedi Academy with realistic saber combat and dismemberment enabled through the command console

Story time?

I work up north where it’s cold as fuck, company flys me in and out. On one travel day heading home somebody at air Canada forgot to plug the plane in after it’s final flight from the day before. I guess with what was drawing power and the frigid temperatures the battery(s) were no longer good to go for my flight. So their plan was to send a mechanic up from Vancouver with new battery(s) and get us in our way. They got halfway to us and realized they didn’t put the replacement battery(s) on the flight. So they had to turn around and get them and come back up. This caused me to miss my connection and the next one they could get me on was the next day. I submitted a claim since everything was 100% within their control. They denied it. So I replied to them with everything that happened, and told them to pay up or I was submitting a a claim with the CTA. They sent me a direct deposit for $1000 and and apology.
