“Elbows up” is a saying/slang/expression in hockey to mean “get ready to fight” (hockey basically allows guys to throw fists between plays for some reason). It is currently being used in political ads and other pro Canada ads in reference to the current trade war.
I was riffing off this, since (as a headline) this is just Canada rolling over for cry baby Trump. It’s not elbows up. It’s daddy Trump telling Carney off like a toddler and Carney cowering. “Elbows off the table!”
Elbows off the table.
Perfect so I’m sure this settlement will affect absolutely nobody it should.
Sorry, maybe I’m mixing them up with some other nightmare of a company, aren’t they out of business? Execs probably already secured all their extra $$$$ and this 2.3 will have to come out of what they get selling the office chairs, and probably before any employees get anything they are entitled to.
I was also visualizing the round analogue clock face, but didn’t want to muddy the water by saying “twice” when I guess it’s technically only once, just no am/pm delineation.
I am puzzling over this at work now. I guess a fast clock could be right almost infinite times a day if it ran fast enough, but a slow clock can only be as slow as a whisper faster than stopped, which would mean it could be right alllllllllllllmost twice a day, but never twice a day.
If it ticks faster than time than it would be right more than once (24hr time) a day, the faster it ticks the more times it will incidentally be correct (perhaps there is an allegory here…)
A clock that ticks slower than time would be right less than once a day, but it can never…
I feel like I need a simulator to understand this relationship actually…
So I spent the money on a NASA level bidet for that reason. Everyone I knew had been getting bidets and nobody would shut up about it, but they were all getting the $40 wands from Amazon. I couldn’t imagine my poor innocent pucker taking an icy blasting daily, so when we bought one we got the full toilet seat replacement with heated dryer, seat and water heater.
After about 6 months I decided to turn the water heater off to save the .78cents a month in electricity, because it really didn’t make a difference to me. The water is in the little hose and in the pipes of the house sitting and waiting for my butt for hours, it’s perfectly room temp. I’ve never had a situation where my partner uses it first and then I do and the warm water runs down, or any other situation that would create that perfect storm, so I won’t be buying one with a heater again…
The real life lesson I learned getting this bidet was because of the heated seat. You know the expression “you don’t know what you go til it’s gone”?
Well at first I noticed the welcoming warmth of the seat, and because the toilet is extra smart it “learns” when to expect me and my partner and preheats the seat to save energy.
But when I am off my routine, even just the weekends sometimes, I’ll go and take a seat: instant sad. It’s not freezing or anything, just unexpected enough and very mildly unpleasant. Something I never noticed before in my life (of luxury I guess, never had a bathroom so cold in my house that the change was shocking enough to register a memory.)
Now, every other toilet in the world is a very mild disappointment. This is a Greek tragedy in modern times.
And she is used to apologizing for idiots so she’d be able to alot in and rebuild international relationships.
Princess Caroline. She can make deals, is passionate about her work but also her family. She would make this country function and function well and she’d never stop till it was done.
Another example of AI putting real humans out of work. Up until recently I used to to get paid good money to ride my bike in loops past survey cameras while wearing different hats. Now, my phone never rings and I’ve had to slowly sell off my collection to make rent. Even if I do get another job offer, I’m down to like 7 hats, most clients I deal with expect twice that many hats for the money they spend.
Thank you
I mean, to be fair to his voters, he didn’t really give them much time to read it before the election…
I don’t know how to enforce it, but written, costed, fully explained platforms should be mandatory to appear on a ballot, and they should be required a full 7+ days before the advance polls close.
In a sane world, noone would vote for a party that submits it’s homework at the 11th hour, or not at all.
Interesting! I must say I never considered it. My kia soul EV was heavy but handled very well. Loved that thing.
Monster. I won’t eat anything that casts a shadow. It’s not hard, perils are just lazy murderers.
? I don’t know what that means.
What makes that spec a priority for you?
If house cats were the size of a Rottweiler we wouldn’t allow them in our houses.
Good on you for making that change, and having empathy for others.
Idiot has the same entomology as retard though, does it not? As does stupid? They all start as medical diagnoses and then assholes turn them to slurs and then the medical field refines and renames and things start to repeat.
We had special education class, Special Ed, for kids struggling in certain ways, so if course the shitty kids would call kids “sp-ed” because of course they would.
I’m not sure when the line gets crossed or if we should have gone back or what, but retard, to me, has a very particular connotation that is useful for describing certain people’s actions. I don’t do it any more because I’d rather live in a peaceful society that fosters respect, but it is one of those things I “don’t get”
Thank you for trying to explain this. I found the original blog empty and unhelpful. Lots of nerd words but no substance. I understand more from your post than that blog now.
Right so that’s everybody saved then! Certainly there isn’t anyone who can’t work a literal part time job, or " volunteer" for some giant multinational that has the authority to sign off on your Medicaid.
What a shit hole… And thats the positive spin…
