  • Last night was bad (far east side of toronto… like Durham Region). It was over 180 and not only could I smell the smoke from inside the house, but my eyes were burning, too.

    Having flashbacks to the fires from a couple of years ago. We were nowhere near (these were the Quebec fires IIRC) but outdoor AQI was bad for weeks, regularly topping 300 and peaking at 4-500. Had everything closed up, AC and multiple HEPA purifiers running, and it was still awful indoors.






  • Not sure if I’m being whooshed here… but Reagan’s VP went on to become president, whose son also became president after his other son, who was governor of a state, threw a wrench in that state’s election machine to muddy the waters, leading to contested recounts, interrupted by a “mob,” leading to the Supreme Court saying it’s too dangerous to continue, and awarding said state’s electoral votes to Reagan’s VP’s son, effectively handing him the presidency. The American people got two wars out of the deal and a veritable Who’s Who list of Bush family associates whose names keep popping up suspiciously even to the present day.

    Unless you’re saying that Vance is just as knee-deep in the backstage corruption, in which case I agree, he’s a dangerous slimeball.









  • This is something that even larger corps struggle with. My old company would buy some other company, lay off a bunch of people, others would quit, and then it was shocked Pikachu faces all around when That One Thing stopped working in an office they turned into a ghost town and, well, no, nobody was going to be there until Monday morning to power cycle etc. True lights out/OOB reachability is WORK. And there’s always going to be a SPOF somewhere that requires hands on-site.

    Do what you can, when you can. And thank you for all that y’all have done so far.
