Learning to draw is incredibly difficult but it's also pretty satisfying to see improvement. Melinoë last night vs a couple months ago...

The Cowichan court case is dominating BC politics discourse. Municipal leaders are using it to rile up white hot rage.
But how many of these commentators have actually read the decision?
I'm going to challenge myself to try.

Well that's peculiar.
I just got this back from CBC. Apparently my complaint "was not received."

Not good enough @radiocanadainfo.bsky.social - a clear correction and apology are needed. You contributed to a climate that is putting CFIA lives at risk, and having achieved your desired virality, have walked it back. Apologize.

Saga concludes with this gem. They say I need to replace the fluid. But also they didn't actually inspect it. Even though inspecting it is listed as part of what you're paying for.

Indeed, their EV service 3 explicitly does include INSPECTION. it's not some radical departure to inspect it - it's built right in!

I come prepared for interactions like this. The cars owners manual is clear that you do an INSPECTION at 48k. It says nothing about replacement.

So I get there, and he immediately tries to upsell me on "reduction gear fluid exchange." Note the fine print at the bottom - this is more than $600 on top of the regular bill!

My kids love those LED light up shoes so we got them a set. They've outgrown and worn them out past the point of re-use, so it's time to discard.
But wait - they have a battery! So you're not supposed to toss them in with regular trash.
Problem is it's impossible to remove battery w/o cutting

Has there been a good analysis of why Toyota is still trying to convince people about hydrogen cars? This is at the Everything Electric show and it just feels so odd

Family is doing a short last minute deal getaway at Whistler for the long weekend. I have a habit of reading the tourist pamphlets. Came across this
Why is it a good thing that this room is so cold? Why would I want this??

I don't see "give up" in this. I see a tragic, soulful conclusion. There's very little here that's inaccurate. I take this as saying yes, pain is here and more is coming. THAT part can't be avoided. That's true!
