  • Terry Fox. One of humanity's gems.

  • Just got back from our camp where I'm doing renovations. It's only accessible by boat so all supplies have to be loaded in the trailer, brought to the boat, loaded in the boat, brought to the camp, then unloaded onto the dock. Makes for slow going, but the peace and beauty out there make up for it. Today, I'm going to church, picking up groceries for the week, then heading back to camp.

  • Like every stage in life, it has its pros and cons.

  • Showerthoughts @lemmy.world

    Driving when you're old must be wonderful. They can't hear when people honk and can't see their finger. They must smile and imagine the frustration of all those impatient drivers.

  • Just finished three days in the bush chopping firewood for next year. Today, I'm heading to my parents for the Mother's Day weekend.

    I'm a little uneasy about this new 5G tower that has gone up at the end of my street.

  • We play speed Uno. If you have the identical card as the card that's played, you can lay it down if you get it to the pile before the person whose turn it is lays down theirs. Play then continues from you.

  • In the U.S., the letter Z is pronounced zee. The rest of the English-speaking world pronounces it zed. Thus the difference.

  • Many companies like websites, tv, radio, etc. depend on the revenues from advertisers to pay their workers and expenses. If they didn't have that, everything would likely turn to susbscription or a regular pleading for money so they could continue.

  • Yes. I have a strong opinion on the subject and have shared it extensively among my close friends.

  • Showerthoughts @lemmy.world

    The word "expert" is used frequently in news headlines, but its meaning is notoriously vague.

  • Canada. You don't pay for a broken arm or a checkup. You only pay for things like physiotherapy or massage. Dentisit is covered if you're old, young, or not making much money. Pharmacy is covered (with a small fee) if you're old. The emergency room works on a triage system so, if you're not seriously sick, you'll probably wait a long time. There are long wait times for specialists in some areas. I can't speak for everyone, but the care my extended family and I have received has been excellent.

  • It's too bad we can't get animals (including ourselves) to hold it all day then dispense it into a fuel tank for home use.

  • Get perspective. We are living in one of the best times in the history of the human race. Tell me a time before 1950 going back 300 000 years that you'd rather live in.
