Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I could not actually work out what it was supposed to be :) 030
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Maybe, but changing the spelling of a single word (eikplewz, for example) in a book does not get you out of a copyright violation. 140

Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026This is how the flat earth people can rationalise themselves out of trouble.... They weren't wrong, the earth just got rounder :) 000

Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 28/09/2026You should see how sad it makes me. Not at all. I mean, I'm old and that's part of it, but you told told me 30 years ago I would have no clue what's on the Billboard Top 100, I'd say "so"? 100
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 28/09/2026"It has spent 20 weeks at No. 1 in Canada. This makes it the third-longest-running No. 1 song in the history of the Canadian Hot 100, trailing only Alex Warren's "Ordinary" (21 weeks) and Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" (25 weeks)." I've never heard (or heard of) any of these :) 160
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 27/09/2026No ticket fees - that was Retail Sales tax. Normally 5% in 1972 Ontario, but 10% was "a premium rate levied on specific luxury and entertainment items (admissions over $3)". Four dollars was a luxury item :) 0120
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Wow. And apparently also legal in Vancouver for much of the year. Isn't it considered at least a bit anti-social? Or am I off on a limb here? 220
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Oh I assumed "wood burning" fireplace, which I also assume is banned in most cities. Two assumes in one sentence. And when you assume...you may be incorrect. 230
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 25/09/2026"I reject compensation because it is limited to 'reasonable' things" is an interesting stance....aka "I demand that it be unreasonable". And that is before even getting to the facts that is no reason to compensate them, and they should not be using fireplaces in the centre of a city. 250
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I suspect they weighted corporate HQs. Having all of Amazon/Microsoft/Boeing/Starbucks/Nordstrom/Weyerhauser based there (ish) is pretty unusual. 010
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Hey @onecityvan.bsky.social can we get rid of these sham tax breaks? The community garden scam costs the city over a million a year for the net benefit of nearly nothing. 100
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 24/09/2026And of course *they* are the ones announcing that their products are out committing cybercrimes. So while they might be able to distance themselves a bit, they have loudly admitted they are knowingly creating hazards. 010
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Civil suits for eleventy-billion dollars for damages caused would also concentrate their minds. 130
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 24/09/2026That's crazy! She should have replied that there is no such thing as numbers. 0150
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 23/09/2026If you do enough transatlantic flights, you are either diverting to Iceland and/or Gander, Newfoundland. Ask how I know. 120

Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Dunno. The passenger demand between Golden BC and Sparwood would be pretty overwhelming. (Populations ~2000 in 1976). 000
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Nope, nothing left. I am typing from a still smoking crater. 030
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 18/09/2026You can get rid of the EC relatively easily though, and without the risk of the baddos taking control of revisiting the constitution. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationa...en.wikipedia.orgNational Popular Vote Interstate Compact - Wikipedia 000
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Yes, a supermajority to remove, but a majority to make the laws and budgets that could render the position effectively a placeholder. BUT I am whatever the opposite of an expert in US constitutional law is, so my opinion doesn't count! (Keep the 22nd amendment though...that one is load-bearing). 000
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Yes, but that's not what your constitution says.... Changing the words only matters if the words (and spirit) are actually being adhered to. And if not, it does not really matter what the words are. 130
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Good idea...Craigslist with a return policy is all we need. 000
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Also, they may not have actually booked the plaza - these guys may have just printed up posters and skipped the permit part. 000
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 10/09/2026 " And you may get other emails from us during the 10 business days it mysteriously takes to filter through our systems". 010
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I think the law says you can throw a curveball or 2 seam fastball, but not a 4 seamer high and inside. 030
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I agree... I wasn't impressed by our insurer, but then found out they were all like that. Unfortunately, the only recourse is to sue your neighbour, which would be fun for no one. 000
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 08/09/2026That's what I thought too! But no, our homeowners policy would not cover it. Typically *NOBODY'S* insurance covers a tree known to be dangerous. 100
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Fair! I actually said their insurance "might not cover it". There is (almost?) no insurance that will cover damage from trees known to be dangerous. 100
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Mentioning that the tree is dead, and since it is dead any damage it does to anyone or anything is *not covered by their home insurance* (or your home insurance) worked for me. 100
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 08/09/2026This is at the North Plaza, which is public land not controlled by the VAG, but is just their neighbours. Does not hurt to complain to them anyway. But Event bookings for the plaza go through the City of Vancouver's special events office. 100
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 08/09/2026It's got that "I outsourced my job to AI" feel. Something that almost makes sense, but.....doesn't. 031
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 07/09/2026What do you do with the PR person from Science World who flat out denied that they were doing this, a week before it went up? Why *ever* ask them anything again? www.nsnews.com/2026-world-c...nsnews.comNew panels on Science World not part of soccer ball design, spokesperson saysThe three panels appear to be part of a larger artwork. 000
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 06/09/2026But it's heresy of multiple religions, so perhaps it cancels out ? 000
Cecil H. @cecilharr.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Having different numbers on the left and right side could be an advantage though 000
![INBOX:
Earth’s poles are rising by 0.5 to 1 millimeters per year, slowly un-squashing our planet’s slightly flattened, jelly-donut-like shape, according to a new study. Linking satellite measurements of changing altitude across Earth’s surface from 1997 to 2015 to the planet’s shape, researchers found that the rounding effect also seems to be accelerating over time, with the poles rising an extra 0.4 millimeters per year faster every decade. Though our planet seems solid, the Earth’s interior acts more like an extremely slow-flowing liquid, warping over time under forces like the weight of ice sheets and oceans. Currently, our planet bulges out a little around the equator. But as ice sheets melt and reduce the force acting on the Earth at the poles, the equator is gradually cinching in as the poles push upwards, molding our planet into a more spherical shape.
