Has anyone else noticed that "permitting bottlenecks" seem not to have curtailed the build-out of AI infrastructure at all?

To be clear, if the system has sent you an appointment link, go for it - but if it hasn't, this is likely a lot easier than spending a half hour or more on hold. MoH built a massive system at god knows what expense, only to make vaccination even more complicated for most folks. It's just 🤦‍♀️

Hey all - if you're in Vancouver and you want covid and/or flu vaccines*, Rexall is doing walk-ins. Info is on their website, call the pharmacy nearest you to check. I was in and out today with no wait. The Get Vaccinated system is a time-wasting boondoggle

*you really do. both of them.

I got flu and covid on a walk-in today, no booking required.

Stephanie Smith @spkr118.bsky.social · 3d

I’m at a gig and logged on to check. Sounds like it’s the right night to be double booked

On the bright side, at least it wasn't one of the semi-regular commemorations of losing in the final

The antidote to despair is action, so clearly you should join my
campaign* for community ownership of our hockey team :)

[*mainly just me mentioning it on bsky and in raucous bar conversations]

Wait, wait, speaking of jinxes - wasn't it you who lifted the Leafs post-season curse? I've partly dissociated it, but anyhow if that was you PUT IT BACK RIGHT NOW
