If you buy HP products, do check warranty start dates. I registered my warranty today (Nov 29th) but the warranty shows it started July 24th.. that would cut 4 months off my warranty

I still have the front page of the local papers when the #bluejays won the series back in ‘92/‘93 back to backs. They were stored in an attic until earlier this year. Not superstitious but they sure got better around that same time. Think I’ll hold on to them a bit longer

I'm spending a lot of 🇨🇦 money American streaming services. I've decided to cancel some today because America is being a dick. $719/annually for these things before tax. Holding onto YouTube premium for now.

Reminder that trade deficit with Canada is a lie because it excludes services. Yet everyone will tell you the US is a service-based economy. Its almost evenly split id you include what is actually traded centreforfuturework.ca/wp-content/u...

An entire 40 lbs (year) of it from Canada. I curl that with my left arm. Totally worth sinking the GDP of both countries by thousands per person
