Sorry, thought you might be too young to remember. This might be closer to what you have in mind 😁

I present to you the Subaru Brat ... hard to find now tho. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So. Tired.

This week's experiment in cooking: Spanakopita! I also discovered that phyllo pastry is the difficult child of the pastry world. 🙂

Were you on the Swartz Bay to Southern Gulf Islands Ferry recently?

We need your help, BC. Has anyone lost this beautiful pink donkey? 🫏💖

They were found on the Salish Raven on Thursday July 16, and we suspect they may have been left behind on an afternoon sailing from Swartz Bay to the Southern Gulf Islands.

In the meantime, they’re making the most of their adventure by taking in the sights, enjoying some soft serve, doing a little light reading, and they’ve even made some new friends in Passages. 💕

If this pink donkey belongs to you, or you know who they belong to, please send us a direct message so we can help reunite them with their family. Please share this post to help bring this sweet passenger home.

A tale of two responses. Real neighbourly of y'all.

Canadian company Moment Energy has opened Megafactory 1 in Vancouver, the world’s largest facility dedicated to repurposing retired EV batteries. (more details in ALT text)

From Mechabytes:
Canadian company Moment Energy has opened Megafactory 1 in Vancouver, the world’s largest facility dedicated to repurposing retired EV batteries.

Instead of recycling old batteries, the factory converts them into energy storage systems for power grids, hospitals, factories, and AI data centers.

Many retired EV batteries still retain enough capacity for stationary energy storage, extending their useful life and reducing waste.

The facility aims to reach 1 GWh of annual production by 2030 and create more than 100 skilled jobs.

As more EV batteries reach the end of their automotive life, projects like Megafactory 1 could help meet growing electricity demand.

This week I experimented with sourdough pizza dough for the first time, yummy! 😋

Lunch is served! Experimenting with freezing homemade pizza dough, not impressed so far but I will consume the evidence forthwith, thus hiding my shame 😂

Pedantic - look it up.

Screenshot of the IUPAC spelling of aluminum/aluminium

In 1990, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) officially adopted aluminium as the standard international name for the element, bringing it in line with other elements ending in the "-ium" suffix.However, acknowledging regional differences, IUPAC later accepted aluminum as an allowable variant.

This week YouTube sent me down a rabbit hole of hummingbird fountains so I built a solar-powered one because "they'll go crazy for it". At this point I cannot confirm any species of bird will "go crazy for it" <sigh> Maybe in the heat of summer they will appreciate my efforts. Ungrateful dinosaurs 😂

I made a new friend in the garden today, he was definitely following me 👀 I wonder if he thinks he's camouflaged against the chair cushion? 🤔 I can't recall seeing a red #jumpingspider before.

🤮<SPOILER ALERT> 🤮 'I thought I could use God’s power to get me grubbies on the derma-pleasures and skin-fiddles, the tutty-boobs and sweet-nooks.’ How is there even a 4% risk AI helped write this? 🤣

This sort of advertising has been increasing lately and I guess they have to try but it does seem like a waste of time and money making the State marketing departments into a modern day Sisyphus pushing a Trump shaped boulder up a mountain of negative public opinion, never to overcome it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hear me out, this "Gaming Pillow" (by LULULOOK) might look stupid but with the addition of a Bluetooth trackball you can open up previously unplayable or difficult to play titles for your Steamdeck. Also useful with a controller and/or a half/full keyboard. #steamdeck #gaming #lululook
