RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 1hTo be honest I only read as far as the name “Bieler” and hadn’t realized he made a donation, but I suppose they would have no reason to write about him otherwise.  100
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 2h@desbieler.bsky.social A Bieler at Douglas Hall. giving.mcgill.ca/all-stories/...giving.mcgill.caFrom Douglas Hall to the sheep farm – my entrepreneurial journeyPhilippe Bieler, BEng’55Co-founder, Atoka Cranberries 100
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 5hI can’t speak to the particulars of his condition, but when I had an SVT a week before a family bat mitzvah in Israel I was given the all clear to fly by a specialist. 010
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 14/10/2026It was not in my interest at the time to provide her with anything approaching full disclosure. 010
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Can you imagine knowing tonight is the night you’re meeting your college roommate’s mom and you chose Popeye pants and bear slippers? 110
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 04/10/2026This. First, because it’s funny as all hell and secondly because it makes me think of @arrogantmonkey.bsky.social sitting around on a fine summer evening with a tumbler of red, pining for Electric Company. 010
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Here in Leiden they’ve been celebrating October 3 since 1574. 020
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 30/09/2026We followed the rules, as was our wont. Anything less invites anarchy. 110
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 30/09/2026You forget that we often showed great moderation by saving the second poutine for breakfast the next day. 110
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 30/09/2026People who need something sweet to wash down the 4 for 3 poutine while playing the 90210 drinking game? 110
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Milwaukee Mitchell International has solved all the problems. 111
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 18/09/2026As I recall he’s been cracking you up ever since A Fish Called Wanda. 😀 110
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 15/09/2026There have been a number of recent good books written on Carl Jung. 110
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Also, there’s an explanation for his name. They couldn’t name him Stanley because that was already his older brother’s name. 040
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Yes, but somehow he managed to do it using an electric stove. 220
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I predict it merges with the Hawk Tuah coin and quickly replaces USD - trading under the name Lapdan$e. 010
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 07/09/2026We finally have the long awaited replacement for evil fiat currency. 110
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 01/09/2026It seems to be the same here. If I zoom in all of the “Lake Ontario” label ends up south of the border. It’s likely just how it scales and not deliberate. 100
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Interesting because up here Google Maps shows the name Lake Ontario straddling the border. 100
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Text exchange with my son. I’ve done something right @alexusherhesa.bsky.social 120
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Don’t worry, Trump already renamed them the Research Chairs of America. 010
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 21/08/2026On account of you being a lawyer. Which, bear with me while I try to get this right, is good for your mortgage. 110
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Hey Siri, what’s the gestation and maturation period for cattle? 120
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 08/08/2026I misread that as “put up with my shit for decades” and thought, “well…”. 220
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Your book, your call, but I would rank that as the second greatest review of it. 110
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 21/07/2026I hope that wasn’t too much of a spoiler. I imagine it’ll warrant a chapter in his book. 110
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Exactly. Ford v. Quebec had just been decided, there was a French language crisis, and the Office québécois de la langue française was on the warpath. No one wanted to be fined for publicly displaying a most likely to pork your mom list, so someone came up with the idea of Pokémon. 120
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Weren’t you voted the most likely on 3rd Floor H to be the proprietor of a Pokémon knock-off sex toy concern? Funny how these things work out. 330
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Well not for class, but the TA was one of the group of philosophy grad students who would show up at Doug Pub tripping balls every Thursday (as you’ll recall). Often he’d ask hard questions so I had to keep up. And that, boys and girls, is how a healthy campus environment promotes learning. 020
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Also as someone who dictated it and didn’t properly proof it before posting. I trust all of you potential future Supreme Court justices can figure it out. 020
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Of course, I say all that as someone who hasn’t looked at a Rawls since second year undergrad. 220
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 18/07/2026It’s like an inverted Rawlsian veil of ignorance. Instead of not where I fit into society when I make a decision We just picked someone from a random strata in society to choose. It’s probably as likely as his formulation to become reality but I think I see where you’re going with this. 040
RobW @robwi.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Let’s just go with the Canadian born grandfather: Joseph Mountain Dew Zero Really more of a baseball commissioner name as you Kenesaw Mountain Landis fans out there have already realized. 010
