Does anyone else think about the shape of the Netherlands?
This type of sneaky checkmate when you’re clearly losing makes chess so worthwhile
Started playing chess online, and having a hard time finding a ranking low enough to find opponents who will make similar boneheaded moves as me
Whoever invented half caff coffee is smart because it costs the same but I'm drinking 3x more. ☕
Government: would it be ok to fill out the long form census? My partner: Ok?? I prefer it!
The next one will be probably be a congratulations about this important milestone, but I’d never know
In 1984, Hulk Hogan sucker punched, spat on, and ultimately defeated Iran’s Iron Sheik, ushering in the era of Hulkamania. I feel like this doesn’t have absolutely nothing to do with current US foreign policy.
Being the intellectual I am, I was watching the documentary, Hulk Hogan: Real American, and my favourite part so far is when Hogan starts morphing into the American patriot superhero character (e1, 39:30), and the dramatic soundtrack is... "God Save the King/Queen". 😵💫
The province is making it very nearly impossible to reduce yard waste (i.e. fuel accumulation) through burning. My municipality is in moderate restriction and it’s raining. The only times it hasn’t been in moderate restriction, everything was too wet to burn.
I love that #ArcGIS does everything extra slow when you do it in an Enterprise GDB to make you feel like you're doing something important
Getting my axe (Gransfors Bruk Outdoor Axe) onto a proper maintenance schedule. 1. original axe 2. sanded (120 & 180 grit) 3. touch up head (I very lightly sanded any blemishes, probably bad) 4. oiled head and handle with boiled linseed oil
It’s a shame that there’s no market for artisanal kindling, because it’s pretty satisfying to make
Do the writers of #BigMistakes know the difference between a hoe and an ice scraper? Because if so, they wrote a next level joke in episode 2.
Nova Scotia nanny state already hampering my burning (everything is literally too wet to burn btw)
Just here to say again, Heineman is a better option than Little this year. #bluejays

Need to update a field's data type (i.e. re-create a feature class) in an enterprise geodatabase feature layer published to #ArcGIS Portal. #schemalocks
The numbers coming out of Washington today are suspect (source: ESPN)
I love the #olympics in far away time zones because my dvr becomes the Schrödinger's cat experiment. Is 🇨🇦 🏒 still alive? 🤷
Having never heard of mixed team snowboard cross, I will be very disappointed if the teams don’t go down on a single tandem board. #olympics
