“Elbows up” is a saying/slang/expression in hockey to mean “get ready to fight” (hockey basically allows guys to throw fists between plays for some reason). It is currently being used in political ads and other pro Canada ads in reference to the current trade war.
I was riffing off this, since (as a headline) this is just Canada rolling over for cry baby Trump. It’s not elbows up. It’s daddy Trump telling Carney off like a toddler and Carney cowering. “Elbows off the table!”
Elbows off the table.
Perfect so I’m sure this settlement will affect absolutely nobody it should.
Sorry, maybe I’m mixing them up with some other nightmare of a company, aren’t they out of business? Execs probably already secured all their extra $$$$ and this 2.3 will have to come out of what they get selling the office chairs, and probably before any employees get anything they are entitled to.
The home grown San Marzanos were left in a single layer on the kitchen table (because that’s how my aunt does it I don’t know but it’s pretty and whatever)
So I spent the money on a NASA level bidet for that reason. Everyone I knew had been getting bidets and nobody would shut up about it, but they were all getting the $40 wands from Amazon. I couldn’t imagine my poor innocent pucker taking an icy blasting daily, so when we bought one we got the full toilet seat replacement with heated dryer, seat and water heater.
After about 6 months I decided to turn the water heater off to save the .78cents a month in electricity, because it really didn’t make a difference to me. The water is in the little hose and in the pipes of the house sitting and waiting for my butt for hours, it’s perfectly room temp. I’ve never had a situation where my partner uses it first and then I do and the warm water runs down, or any other situation that would create that perfect storm, so I won’t be buying one with a heater again…
The real life lesson I learned getting this bidet was because of the heated seat. You know the expression “you don’t know what you go til it’s gone”?
Well at first I noticed the welcoming warmth of the seat, and because the toilet is extra smart it “learns” when to expect me and my partner and preheats the seat to save energy.
But when I am off my routine, even just the weekends sometimes, I’ll go and take a seat: instant sad. It’s not freezing or anything, just unexpected enough and very mildly unpleasant. Something I never noticed before in my life (of luxury I guess, never had a bathroom so cold in my house that the change was shocking enough to register a memory.)
Now, every other toilet in the world is a very mild disappointment. This is a Greek tragedy in modern times.
And she is used to apologizing for idiots so she’d be able to alot in and rebuild international relationships.
Princess Caroline. She can make deals, is passionate about her work but also her family. She would make this country function and function well and she’d never stop till it was done.
I (mid 30s woman) am boss and I txtd one of my guys who isn’t around very often (he works a different shift basically, sometimes we overlap, usually we don’t)
“Hey 60 year old married man when you have a minute. Swing by my office, I’ve got something for you.”
I had a company gift to give him.
Auto complete decided the lips emoji was the best ending to my TXT. You know, the sexy red kissy lips.
I NEVER use that emoji. I never use emojis, when I told this story to other workers who I TXT regularly they were like “you yeah write out jazz hands or *sparkle emoji”
But my phone knew what that innocent TXT needed. Awkward, potentially work relationship ruining lips.
I gave a month’s notice at a job I was leaving. I was moving on, it wasn’t a shit job but I was ready to move up and they weren’t promoting me to the types of jobs I wanted. No hard feelings.
Until I have my month’s notice. I had been there 3 years and assumed we would take a week or so to hire someone, then I could train them on the job the last 2 weeks. It sure would have helped me when I started.
I wish I’d giving 3 days. They had no interest in including me in the new hire process (this is a small business, only 2 other people above me, owner and accountant) and basically it felt like they were waiting on me to leave so they could bring in their new pick.
Now I did end up working for that company in the position I wanted part time for a couple years after that, so I guess just not showing up would have been way worse, but I found that time period incredibly stressful and still don’t understand the motives.
It’s such a beautiful game already. I’ve died while distractedly marvelling at the Aurora while the soundtrack permeated my soul.
Why lie? If you want a Lambo, just own it. “Yeah it’s pink, why? What colour is your Lambo?” Pepto magnet would still be hilarious.
Another example of AI putting real humans out of work. Up until recently I used to to get paid good money to ride my bike in loops past survey cameras while wearing different hats. Now, my phone never rings and I’ve had to slowly sell off my collection to make rent. Even if I do get another job offer, I’m down to like 7 hats, most clients I deal with expect twice that many hats for the money they spend.
I have been worried about this for months. The moment of clarity for me came when I was looking up how to tan a hide fur off. I have done fur on and seen a dozen videos on it so I knew what I was looking at. Found this great looking site. Step by step. As I’m reading, something seems off. Maybe translation issues? The order here seems… Repeatative?
Then I look at the pictures.
First picture showed a hide being made into a drum. Ok, not exactly what I’m doing but yeah maybe similar process… Next picture is of a dudes abs, with a tan line… (Tanning the hide)
Next picture is a head table for a wedding… (Decorating)
It was surreal. And it is surreal. We are now returning to a time when we can’t access information easily. Not because it isn’t there, but because it’s crowded by misinformation and half information.
Thank you
Don’t dead open inside.
Interesting! I must say I never considered it. My kia soul EV was heavy but handled very well. Loved that thing.
? I don’t know what that means.
What makes that spec a priority for you?
But hunters are specifically trying to call them in to shoot them. This is more like catch and release fishing, you are just making the bird late for something…
