I have a house in Alberta. I wonder if there's a way to cede my property back to the Treaty nations when I die... They deserve it more than my relatives do.

In my IT program at school, the only people who have heard of the fediverse are the ones I've told.

Me too. It's the parasympathetic nervous system. You anticipate bleeding. Your body goes, "Bleeding is bad. Drop the blood pressure, that'll stop the bleeding!" It worked! I see a needle in a medical setting, I'm out like a light. Dentists are fun.

I can see magic eye pictures instantly. Like, at a glance.

I showed up to repair Internet at a stripper's house. She answered in a bathrobe, then showered while I worked. The modem was in her bedroom. So was the shower.

I kept my eyes averted. Finally got it working, turned on her laptop to check to make sure it was surfing. Wallpaper was her, naked.

So, yup.

I thought that dogs were boys and cats were girls. No idea why.

Its funny, my niece made it to like 8 thinking that aunts were adults and uncles were kids. She had one young uncle, and me. Called me "Auntie Phanto." I still haven't lived it down.

I shouldn't talk because I dip in and out, but I do that because I like the possibilities. Like, what if someone comes up with a concept, but no one tries it, and it turns out to really work? Like, I like immutability as a concept, so I've tried Silverblue, Kinoite, and Bazzite. If nobody gave it a go, then the concept would die on the vine.

Also, I like seeing different ways of thinking about technology.

A schooner is a sailboat!

Save 15%. Even if it absolutely sucks to do so. If you have to dip in to the 15%, it better be for life or death. Skip meals to save that 15%.

1$ saved at 20 is like 20$ saved at 40.

Also, don't cash advance from a credit card, ever, for any reason. I once bought a 6$ taco at age 18 on cash advance, and once I finally cleared it off, that taco had cost me almost 500$. I did the math.

Actually, the bank notes don't smell like maple syrup. When you hold the bank note up to your nose, you are just smelling your own Canadian fingers! All Canadians smell like maple syrup. It's why we're so sweet.

Oh, self-hosted would be another good place to ask.

I, for one, try real hard. But thanks!
