Thanks for not just assuming I keep my house below freezing!

Where'd my kid get a Guy Fawkes mask?

Seriously, though, who cranks the thermostat to 30 and walks out the door?

In Canada Thanksgiving was 6 weeks ago. Much funnier here.

They both made great games. I get the rivalry, but hatred? Both great artists in their own right, and can be appreciated for their own reasons.

Comparing the federal energy mix for Saskatchewan in 2019, to SaskPower's claims for 2023, we're going in the right direction with respect to coal. I don't expect Moe's SaskParty to do much better than that, unfortunately. Hopefully nuclear and wind take off more, or we're more willing to import hydro from Manitoba, even at a higher cost.

Though reading that closer, SaskPower's claims for hydro include imports (it's unspecified from where, but the only place that makes sense is Manitoba), while the federal paper is only generating capacity, no imports. I wonder what the mix including imports was in 2019.

Ironically, if a job's workload starts to require fewer people, it's often harder for any individual to step away. In the past, there were more people working a plot of land, so there was more ability to cover for people stepping away. Now with only one person doing all the work, that person can't take time off or the whole thing collapses.

I'd go with a Coleman camp fuel stove, but I also go winter camping when propane doesn't work so well.

Apparently American companies do. My wife works in HR for a US company in Canada and has to continuously tell US management that they can't do random drug tests in Canada outside of safety critical roles.

That looks like one of the notebook SATA variants. It's SATA & power combined in one connector, and passive adapters used to be readily available.
