None of this should be happening. There’s little excuse for not knowing as a business owner that service dogs are allowed in your establishment in everything but very specific, extreme circumstances. But none of this should be happening either. Others have shown up to the restaurant parking lot, just to see the place in person. …

Wake UP, Methew
You may read many funnier things today, but the description of how this fellow was discovered hit me the right way just now. “On Friday, September 17th, Matthew Williamson, 37, was charged with Unlawful Breaking and Entering a Vehicle (UBEV) and Theft of Property 3rd Degree. Pleasant Grove police officers transported him to Jefferson County …
Psychological Warfare
Before I let Gill take over and talk about her great uncle, I just want to say thank you to everyone who fought and died on behalf of our country, and I’m sorry that our various governments haven’t always had your back. Many of you did and saw things that no person should ever have …
Loud Person Writes To Newspaper, Apparently Doesn’t Read It
Oh hey look, everyone. It’s Steve, getting irritated by another dumb ass antivaxxer. New restrictions violate privacy I have a question about targeted COVID-19 restrictions. What authority does a random person, with no credentials, hired for minimum wage, have to demand personal health information and identification from anyone just going about their daily lives? I …

Changes In This Release Include You Just Hitting The Damn Button Already
I just downloaded six app updates for my phone. Do you know how many of them gave me a good idea of what I was getting? One, and even it was scant. I’ve been noticing a trend toward useless release notes in the last couple of years at least, and I really don’t care for …

Doug Ford Just Had A Great Idea From Five Years Ago
It’s nice that Doug Ford has decided to raise Ontario’s minimum wage to $15 an hour (it would have been a whole lot nicer if he hadn’t cancelled the very same thing almost four years ago), but his stated reasoning for doing so now makes no sense. But the premier defended his previous pro-business stance …

Everybody Should Absolutely Be Vaccinated Maybe I Guess, But I’m Not Going To Tell You What To Do. Just Promise Not To Kill Anyone, Ok?
And now, I give you the latest dumb decision that the Ford government is going to have to walk back in a few weeks, hopefully before it has the chance to spectacularly fail. Ontario won’t force vaccines on hospital workers because of potential for staffing shortages and surgery delays, Doug Ford says What in the …
The Watchers Don’t Want Watchers Watching Them, And It’s Hard To Blame Them
We rely on ads to keep the site running, but I’ll never get angry about people using ad blockers. Hell, I’ve used them too. Paid for them, even. It’s not great for your favourite websites, but it’s a problem that the online advertising industry and even those websites to a degree have brought upon themselves. …

This Is My Shitbit. It Connects Via Pootooth
For specific people under specific circumstances, these health analyzing smart toilets could be a huge help. But as a generally available consumer product? I’ll pass. It would be great to have an easy method to assist with the tracking and treatment of a chronic condition so that maybe you would have to tromp to the …

TWBlue TWBlew Up, But It’s Fixable
I’m not much for Twitter anymore, but I still keep a client on my phone and my desktop for the times I do feel like playing with it, in case someone talks to me there and to keep tabs on what a few people are up to. One of those clients is TWBlue, obviously. A …
