This sad tree isn’t a sculpture. It is a natural artefact. Located on Jedediah Island in BC
This is a great book and the clearest possible summary of where Mark Carney's political program comes from and where it leads.
That's funny (and not funny). But I think Google's AI is especially bad in this regard. I use a non-US search engine @qwant.bsky.social and the result is better.
If you’re looking for a hands-on evaluation textbook that also tackles today’s real-world challenges, this new release is worth checking out. It is free, published by @uvic.ca libraries: dspace.library.uvic.ca/items/11a8fa...
Pour ceux qui suivent ce qui se passe en Ontario, il y a un nouveau modèle de rémunération pour les médecins de famille. L'OMA met de l'avant $438 000 par an de facturation moyenne en travaillant moins de 26 heures par semaine... Dure vie Dr.B dure vie…
Oversize items you need to carry across town? A cargo bike is the way to go*. * And for the record, I do own a pick-up truck. But within the city the cargo bike is as fast and so much more fun.
Do *not* put your kids in French immersion school programs. Because if you do, they might land a job at the Commissioner of Official Languages of Canada and one day write a post like this on FB... It literally says "My d**k and my heart race when I practice speaking my official second language" :-D
Somewhere, someone thought it made sense to use nylon cogs between two sets of steel ones in mainstream (Bafang) hub-based e-bike motors. That person should be quite ashamed of themselves. Yeah... I Found a broken e-bike on the curb and I'm trying to fix it
We usually eat on a low table and sit on the floor. But we have family coming for the holidays who might find it a bit difficult. So the low table is now jacked. And the benches for seats.
Spent Friday evening building two benches. Semi-temporary stuff. Once finished the two benches will have used exactly one plywood sheet. If the rain stops, tomorrow is sanding day. I hate sanding.
If I earned a buck every time I found a GenAI-hallucinated reference in my students' assignments, me would be rich... tenor.com/en-CA/view/s...
What are the predictable effects of Alberta’s "Dual Practice Surgery Model" plan to allow doctors to work in both the public and private sectors? Here’s a map. Pay attention to the feedback loop at the center. That’s a noose for the public system. @alonghurst.bsky.social @lindsayhedden.bsky.social
And front and rear dynamo lights. Actually super impressed by the $15 lights from Aliexpress. On par with $150 German ones
The DIY cargo bike now sports front discs. A random piece of flat steel, cut and brazed to the original fork.
A few people stopped by and asked for some apples. Also found some plums and (obviously) blackberries. A 16' orchard ladder is the perfect tool and a bike trailer the best way to carry it around.
I love #cargobikes as much as the next guy, but sometimes a trailer is the tool of the day. Today the paddle-board DIY trailer (a cross between a broken ladder and a kid hauler) and I went apple picking along the bike path #yyj
I think the Canadian hardcore proponents of "partnership based" research (like CIHR) who have been funnelling a growing % of the research $ to topics selected by governments should do some serious soul searching. Because basically they have been saying the exact same thing for years.
Après deux lectures détaillées du projet de loi sur la rémunération médicale déposé aujourd’hui je veux transmettre mes sincères condoléances aux journalistes responsables de couvrir ce dossier
For reasons unknown, my BlueSky feed seems to think the new Pope appeared in BC instead of Rome
Seem to be an intense year for bioluminescent dinoflagellates blooms in the Salish sea. I never saw as much daylight orange before
Et, pour finir, je parie un sac de jujubes que ce qui se discute pour de vrai c’est l’abolition de la prime annuelle d’inscription pour les patients non vulnérables.
La @fmoq.bsky.social demande la parité de revenu avec les médecins spécialistes, ce qui à donné un reportage de @iciradiocanada.bsky.social sur le Danemark. (ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/215...) Si vous êtes curieux, à parité de pouvoir d'achat, les médecins de famille ne sont pas plus payés là-bas
When shopping for a pocket multi tool, choose one with a chain-link tool. It could save you from a long walk home after work.
