Took advantage of America being off today so I could call into Bell and wait on hold so I could cancel my home phone and TV service. Why did I even have those services? Because Bell was subsidizing my mobile and internet services so it was cheaper to have all four for the past two years.
Weirdly, they didn't even try to keep me on those services but offering other discounts. Now I'm looking around for Canadian mobile plans which are always too expensive.

Kinda thought the Canucks were going to blow another lead there.

I'm watching the Oilers vs the Canucks so I can report back to @brianleroux. He should either be asleep or really, really enjoying himself in Amsterdam right about now.

This doesn’t surprise me in the least.

I know we are all excited about switching to Pixelfed from Instagram but don't sleep on Callsheet by @caseyliss. It is an excellent replacement for the ad infested IMDB.

Immediately backed this Kickstarter as I really enjoyed the first two Marty Hench novels.

Yesterday, I got incredibly lucky to get the following relics, Raven's Ring, Soul Tether and Gnawed Bone. Being able to bring my resolve low to activate the bonus damage effects of RR then build back up my max health with GB turned my character into an unstoppable force. I cruised through the final 3 bosses.
Each attack was dealing 186% damage, then every 5 seconds it would jump to 236% thanks to ST. Absolutely redonkulous character.

Last night I finished the rougelike game Rogue Legacy 2. It is a fun game in which each time your character dies you come back as its descendent. This forces you into playing many of the 10 different classes in the game.
My favourite class is the Gunslinger as the ability to stop your jump mid-flight opens up lots of possibilities.

This is an excellent talk. I saw a version of it back in September 2023 at #SotB. If you are anywhere near Montreal in February this would be an excellent reason to pick up a ticket to @ConFooCa https://techhub.social/@ConFooCa/113781296725886173

In 1991 I was no longer reading comics but then I saw this cover on a spinner rack. It was like nothing I’d seen before. I’d like to take the time to thank Rob Liefeld for re-igniting my love of comics. Haven’t stopped reading them since that fateful day.

I maintain that if libraries never existed from time immemorial that there is not chance they’d get off the ground in this day and age.

I finished “Right Thing, Right Now” a couple of days ago and I’m still thinking about some of the lessons in that book. I think I’ll restart “The Daily Stoic” on January 1st.
Also, if a young man in your life is a fan of Joe Rogan or Jordan Peterson maybe get them some Ryan Holiday books this year. I think his books are a good counterpoint to the other two jag offs. They teach grit and self reliance but with a moral code in service of others.

Whenever I have the option to take a train instead of flying I do. Trains are way more chill. Going from Ottawa to Montreal or Toronto takes about the same amount of time but does not include the stress and feeling like a criminal that air travel now brings on.

I wish this wasn't necessary but it's good advice.
