For two years in the 1970s, the government of New Brunswick hoped to alleviate unemployment through the production of a unique car.
Over the course of two years, 2,854 cars were built before it came to an abrupt end.
This is the story of the Bricklin SV-1.

I want to knit this sweater. Judging by the sweatband she’s wearing, I’m going to guess 1984 or 1985.

I say this without a hint of sarcasm. The Armageddon DVD commentary is the finest work of Ben Affleck’s career.

My brain was wandering from paying attention to my studies, like brains do, and I suddenly came up with a a good structure for my 90s reading challenge.
Hot damn.

Crystal Ball by Styx is one of my favourite songs from the 1970s.
This live version is amazing.

Going ALL the way back to 1983 with my current post-study audiobook:
Wow. Hard to believe I was 7 yrs old when this book was released. Good times.

@chriswarcraft.bsky.social recently saw you mention Discworld and remembered I had made it a goal to read them. Picked up “The Colour of Magic” and am going to start tonight.

I did like, 11 hours of trigonometry homework tonight, and feel like I barely scratched the surface.
And I’m only doing basic trig appropriate for trade school carpentry.
It’s a very deep rabbit hole to fall down into…

I’m using AI for the first time to learn trigonometry. Oddly, I find it a useful learning tool BECAUSE it makes so many mistakes.
I have to critically look at each explanation of an attempted answer and decide whether it’s right or wrong and ask AI to double check or fix its calculations.

I spoke with UN Secretary-General António Guterres today. In this time of rising conflict, Canada is ready to lead.
We will build coalitions, defend democracy, and stand up for our values on the world stage. As others step back from global leadership, Canada is stepping up.

I don’t need a sugar-daddy to buy me an Hermés bag. I need a sugar-daddy to buy me a subscription to AutoCAD b/c holy sh** 🫣🫨
Man, I miss the old days when you bought software for a reasonable price and you owned it. This subscription nonsense is total scam.

Oh and I’ve completed my 1970s reading list so when I have breaks between study sessions, I’m going to start my 1960s reading list.
And listen: don’t sleep on the 1960s. That decade produced some of the best fiction ever written.

First day of school and I have 8-9 hrs of studying. It’s so much 😓
My first exam is Thursday.
As an incentive I’ve decided to buy myself one coffee table book for every exam I pass.
Overly indulgent and luxurious? You bet your ass. But after 7 yrs of study & apprenticeship, I’m treating myself.

Trade school starts on Monday 😬
Level 4 carpentry.
If I pass I will finally be a Red Seal carpenter.
The trigonometry is terrifying.
Oh and theodolites. I thought I left them behind in level 2. C’est la vie.
