A bike lane on my morning commute to make Teams calls in a different building.

Where exactly are all these clear bike lanes that jackass Bradford was talking about? The storm was over Monday morning, it’s now Thursday.

I’d love some #Apple #iOS HomeKit help. For some reason the default home location has its radius fixed to 100m, however I can use the second ā€œhomeā€ option which is my actual address to adjust. My buildings construction causes some GPS interference causing me to drift outside of the bounds. Where can I adjust the default Home location and radius?

This applies to me and I think it represents a further deskilling of the public service, you get what you pay for and currently we are paying consultants who deliver half baked solutions and then bounce while the dwindling work force deals with the actual work.

When our branch has branch days we need to negotiate for space. We don’t have enough desks for everyone to have them. Hotelling means no personalization, no leaving things ā€œin flightā€, no photos of family.

My expert supervisor making sure I do a good job

I’ve been working on cleaning up my bathroom this weekend. It’s still a work in progress, so far I have:

• Replaced the broken shower head, and corroded spout
• Cleaned the stained grout with a drill brush, and a hydrogen peroxide and baking soda mix
• Removed most of the old caulking

Time for a lunch break and then recaulking. The things I do for my landlord.

I really feel for those poor poor landlords who thought they could:

- buy property they couldn’t afford
- get rich by taking all the gains
- jack up real estate in their speculation
- Someone else would pay their mortgage and receive nothing, extracting wealth from the poor and younger generations

These people are over leveraging themselves to hilt to control a resource necessary to life and have the gall to complain when their ā€œinvestmentā€ has risk.

In light of all the gloom I wanted to share one of my favourite shots of #Toronto #Canada, this was taken early fall of 2023 on a bike ride of Tommy Thompson park.

Googly Eyes continue to amuse me

Hey Mastodon, does anyone know what size this bulb is?

No markings, just 120V4– (watt?). The base is about 1cm wide.

I inherited a lamp from my
Grandmother, and I wanted to replace it with an LED.
