Squibbles

W FART

Reading this headline as a foreigner is rather amusing. I thought they were referring to some kind of small scale modified version of cow-tipping but for flies.

Don’t worry about them being kidneys, they look more like rocky mountain oysters to me

Good domekeeper joke ;)

Yeah torn down for SkyTrain expansion wasn’t it?

If the reaction of the kids who come to my door is any indication the best is ring pops. You can sometimes hear kids shouting to other ones down the street “hey, this place has ring pops!”

Worst: those molasses toffees with the orange/white/black wrapper

I think they are actually molasses flavoured toffee if it’s the ones I’m thinking of. Always left to the very last, only to be consumed in the more dire of candy draughts

We went to a little shop that repairs vacuums and such and found an old Electrolux cannister vacuum from the 70s or 80s for relatively cheap. Apparently they are quite popular with people who clean houses professionally as they last a long time and are repairable. It’s a bit of a pain to drag around the cannister but really not too bad over all and works very well.

This was a few years ago but I was able to google something like “vacuum repair” to find this place where we got ours. They had lots of used repaired ones but we had to hunt around the shop a bit til we found the one we liked

Cool though still a bit confusing, like what’s a “Device file”? Also so many of those are so similar in use like /usr and /sbin. Why would one be used over another?
