Hornets, cicadas and inflatable Godzilla: B.C.'s most memorable 911 calls and power outages of 2025
The annual lists of B.C.'s most notable nuisance 911 calls and power outages in 2025 have led to reminders that emergency lines should be kept open for actual emergencies — and not for air fryer returns or noisy bugs.

Apparently, a day or two after we left town for the holidays, we had a(nother) power event. Got home at 1627. Took about 15-20 minutes to unload the car. Then around an hour to get all the smart speakers, plugs and lights restored (12 lights factory reset themselves, the smart plugs had all their individual outlets restarted to the "off" setting and the TV and its sound-bar were annoyed with each other).

When you think you're clever running git clean but shit's blowing up because you needed to have run git clean -fdx.

"Programs that have their own agenda and that are trying to make it yours, too. Programs that want you to think about them. Programs that think they are entitled to a part of your attention. “Pick me” programs.

And you know what? Fuck these programs. Give me back my computer."

Someone should tell me exactly why some people incorrectly think that this is a bot account.

Starting to refactor my adblock filters and publish them, since I've got some rules some folks might find handy. There will be more than the one list there currently as I clean things up in my custom filters.

So far, just have a list to block Sinclair Broadcasting, but there will be more.

A parishioner talked to me about baptizing her great-grandchild. She gave me the number of the mother and I shot her a text yesterday.

**crickets**

Called the parishioner today and said, “Look, I need to talk to her so we can do this.”

We’ll see what happens. I’m always in favor of baptisms, but I get a little grumpy when people aren’t willing to do the basic stuff.
