@yrashk @julianhyde You are still young! :)

@julianhyde Maybe both? I am getting older, too!

I keep noticing this particular trait: When I have accumulated mental fatigue and/or sleep deprivation, my ability to speak clearly goes down – I struggle to find words, my accent slips more, and I find it harder to establish confident eye contact. Anybody else with this?

@67Dodge @globeandmail Right? Total idiots

Canada not energy self-sufficient via @globeandmail ...as recently as during the early pandemic, Cenovus Energy Inc. ran a tanker from B.C. through the Panama Canal to New Brunswick’s Irving Oil refinery to serve the eastern market. “How absurd is it we’re the fourth-largest producer of oil and gas in the world but we’re not self-secure,” he said. “Anyone from the outside looking in would say, ‘What’s wrong with you people?’”

@yrashk Of course they do!

@dave_cramer Past traumas don't count.

XML is coming back.

@MPelletierCIO If only we had a resource we could sell for huge profit ?

My youngest son volunteering at the Calgary food bank tonight. I’m shocked at the line of cars. Things have changed. This isn’t the Canada I grew up in. Breaks my heart.

@BrandonWealth Huge part of my RRSP

Building generational wealth the Canadian way 🇨🇦 Enbridge $ENB.TO 31 straight dividend raises, ~5.3% yield, and infrastructure that literally never stops. The ultimate set-it-and-forget-it stock for TFSA & RRSP. Are you holding?

@rhatr 250k for a Cayman GT4 as they now only sell GT4RS go figure

Building cars that don't cater exclusively to boomer may help, no?

@MPelletierCIO Crossing the floor should not be allowed. If they want to be a Liberal, they need to be voted in as such

Lovely.

@MPelletierCIO Not sure he has the political capital to nuke CUSMA. We shall see.

I think a 9% target on short Canada 10s. May take some time, maybe half the gains when CUSMA gets nuked in June. And yes that means you could lose that amount if you own Canada 10s.

@RobertDoel76 @MPelletierCIO Only if you have money. If you don't you will wait *much* longer.

@dave_cramer @MPelletierCIO So what? With the insane taxes we pay why should we need to wait 1/40th of our lives waiting to fix a knee? Or a hip? Whatever. The US has better Healthcare BECAUSE much of it is privately ran.

Did not know this.

@SimpleStocks_ Perhaps I just need a sponsor ... nic ?

Son built and driven prerunner from this past weekend 🔥💪😍

@MPelletierCIO Strange reaction to investing 200B

Wow. $AMZN

@kellabyte Just sounds like a blind person running with scissors

One interesting thing about HoloStore is it’s written in Rust and I’ve never written Rust before (it’s on my near term todo to learn). But it’s interesting directing AI to build something in a language you’ve never used before.

@eatonphil Sure

@dave_cramer Can I interview you to hear about your experience building drivers and what we can do to give that area more love? (Probably with the angle of how can more people contribute and test and so on?)

I wrote a short article about the major companies behind the most recent release of Postgres. And I called out a few interesting commits by smaller contributors, including a first-time contributor who fixed a bug involving ctid scans that might have dated back to 1999.

@eatonphil I'm much more interested in drivers. Seems they don't get much love.

@dave_cramer Hey Dave! Great point! A version of this post had a sentence that addressed that. I didn't mean to omit it. I'll add it back.

@eatonphil I'm obviously biased. Thanks!

@67Dodge Yeah, we got the message. Time to move on.

Wonderful. We need more Japanese, Chinese, Korean, bring in the Vietnamese, more European automakers. We need to diversify, that's common sense. The U.S. wants nothing to do with Canada. Sad, but fine. We'll move on, we have no other choice.
