Dear every restaurant: stop putting cheese on things unless it’s listed on the menu.
A BLT does *not* have cheese.

Things I didn't anticipate about parenthood, entry 42:
Improving my sleight of hand in order to convince my toddler to eat the last few animal crackers from the open bag before starting on the new one - palming the "old ones" and then retrieving them from the new box.
Hope she never reads this.

Have I really been reading, saying, writing it as 'chaise lounge' all along? Is this one of those things where your brain just rearranges letters into a word you're familiar with as long as the first and last letters are the same?

I've been using composer daily for work since shortly after its release in 2013.
Today I learned that it has a *reinstall* command.
It's not a huge win over `rm -rf vendor/whatever && composer install` BUT... it is a nice quality of life upgrade.
Time to read the docs again.

The rate at which our new (to us, it was in the house) stove boils a large pot of water defies all previous experience.

First #BikeHfx cross-harbour daycare dropoff today. Very fortunate to have as much infrastructure as we do on our route.
Definitely need a gear upgrade - the MTB + trailer combo works but is not ideal. A kid seat on my touring bike would be a big improvement while we shop for an e-bike.

Last time in Montreal, my partner and I rented bikes and without even thinking about it, toured 50km+ around the city.
Sightseeing, lunch, riding Villeneuve Circuit.
We barely interacted with cars, but still had access to the same things as if we were driving or using public transit. More, even.

@hfxgov.bsky.social This is how you combine bike lanes and bus stops.
Is there anything better than a project that improves transit and cycling?
Montreal’s sustainable mobility corridors (“corridors de mobilité durable”), like here on Henri-Bourassa, are transforming arterial roads with bus lanes *and* protected bike lanes at the same time.

You have to increase the price.
Gate the increase beyond some daily/weekly amount if you want, but if there's a pressing need for less water to be consumed, just increase the price of consuming a lot of water.

Since implementing the voluntary conservation measures on August 5, Halifax Water has not seen a significant decrease in demand. Without significant precipitation and increased conservation measures, these water levels will continue to lower and mandatory conservation measures will be required.

Be extra careful this weekend Halifax, whether you’re walking, driving, or cycling.
People in greater numbers are parked where they shouldn’t be, in extra large vehicles, and more people are running red lights and stop signs because they don’t know the city and are lost.

Wrote a basic keyboard nav for Bsky in javascript. Hoping for a rainy day so I can justify the time to improve it a bit and open a PR.
