Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 2hWhat are they gonna do about it, reinstate Nixon as president? I don’t think that would be *good*, but it would certainly be an improvement (regardless of whether they also brought him back to life). 020
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 6hÞorn byþ þearle scearp, þegna gehwylcum anfeng ys yfyl, ungemetun reðe manna gehwylcun þe him mid resteþ. 030
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 9hYeah, the condition of the streets is what matters most to me, too. Below −10º C, I’m wary of using my hand brakes, because there’s some moisture in the cables that can make them stick if it freezes, but fortunately I also have coaster brakes. 030
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 17hThis is rather oddly worded: “the suspicious or unexplainable disappearance of a black woman or black person”! I’ve always believed that women are persons; we had a rather famous court case about that up here nearly a century ago. 120
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 30/09/2026The NWMP was founded as a white-supremacist colonial force. It and its successors have always portrayed themselves as the good guys: they may confess the sins of previous generations, but they never question the legitimacy of the authority they wield now. bsky.app/profile/alin... 010
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 30/09/2026For reconciliation to be possible, it’s not enough to acknowledge past harms; we have to stop committing present harms. 142
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 29/09/2026I’m choosing to believe that Swoops thinks of you as ‘that nice human with the American accent’. 011
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 29/09/2026Oh, that’s too bad! I’m sure they used to have a full-service framing shop, but as I said, it’s been quite a while since I last actually got anything framed there. Thanks for the update, though, and I hope you can find a place that does what you need! 010
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 29/09/2026Right—so the boundary between Côte-Nord–Kawawachikamach–Nitassinan and Abitibi–Baie-James–Nunavik–Eeyou is a nice straight line, but the QC–NL border wiggles back and forth across it, and there’s an overarching principle that every riding must be fully within one province or territory… 100
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 29/09/2026Curiouser and curiouser—I *do* see the form on the French page in Firefox (but not on the English page). (Would have tried FF earlier, but I forgot I still had it installed; I’ve mostly given it up in favour of Waterfox at this point.) 110
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 29/09/2026Oh, does it have to do with the border between Quebec and Labrador? 110
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 29/09/2026It’s very strange indeed! But I hope this gives you a tolerable workaround (by switching browsers or languages). 010
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 29/09/2026And in both Safari and iCab, I see the form if I switch to the French version of the page! 110
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 29/09/2026Telling iCab to identify itself as Chrome doesn’t seem to have any effect, so it doesn’t look like the site is checking which browser you’re using and then being picky about which ones to show the form to. It seems more likely to be an actual incompatibility, but I have no idea what’s causing it! 210
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 29/09/2026In Vivaldi, that same <div> has a <form> element inside it with the text box and the button (plus a couple of hidden fields). 110
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 29/09/2026It looks like the form just doesn’t load in some browsers. In iCab, the relevant part of the html source looks like this: <div class="mwstransform section"><div> <p hidden="hidden"> There is a problem in rendering JSON Transform component. Please contact the Principal Publisher. </p></div></div> 210
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 29/09/2026I see the subscription form in Vivaldi and Waterfox, but not in Safari or iCab. Weird! 120
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 29/09/2026The first time I tried entering an e-mail address and clicking “Subscribe”, I got an error message. (“[…]Sorry, the page you are looking for is currently unavailable. Please try again later. […]”) But then I tried again and it worked—at least to the point of getting a confirmation e-mail. 🤷🏼 110
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 29/09/2026The boundary between Churchill–Keewatinook Aski and Selkirk–Interlake–Eastman is also pretty weird, but there again, the parts of each that are discontiguous by land are connected by lake. (I’m having real trouble imagining anyplace in Canada where water isn’t relevant!) 110
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 29/09/2026But you could also travel between the discontiguous parts of the riding by water, without having to go overland through another riding? 100
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 29/09/2026Well, the riding I live in includes an uninhabited island 300 km away. But that’s not quite the same thing, because what separates it is water, not other ridings (although there are other parts of the mainland that are closer to it). 100
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 28/09/2026This is the most Rumpole-coded forensic discovery I’ve read about all month. 110
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 28/09/2026I’ve gone to DeSerres for this, and been happy with the results. I don’t remember them trying to push me in any specific direction, although they may have made suggestions. (It’s been a while since I last got anything framed, though.) 110
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 28/09/2026(labelled as “graphic media” in lieu of a spoiler tag; it’s just text, really) 000
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 27/09/2026My city has a cool flag based on its coat of arms, but most of the time it chooses to fly a boring one based on its corporate logo instead. They both beat the hell out of Tucson’s, though. 000
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 27/09/2026I thought about that, but I don’t think “Mx.” has a canonical expansion. 100
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 26/09/2026I had no idea the Exeter canal was such a talented photographer! 010
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 25/09/2026Facebook has always been evil; its purpose has always been to undermine people’s privacy. But this crosses a whole slew of new red lines. Facebook needs to die now. 000
Q. Pheevr @q.pheevr.ca · 25/09/2026Meta must be destroyed. If you have an account with them, delete it. If you have an app of theirs, delete it. Block all their sites on every system you have control over. 120
