Ironically I ordered the Gen 11 X1 2in1 (previously Yoga). I previously had a Gen 4. The Gen 4 is great but there’s a few issues as some components aren’t supported as well after the change to Windows 11. I use the pen a lot so needed the digitizer screen.

Very tough draw but at the same time…I bet they didn’t think they’d be playing the World champions in a World Cup knockout if you’d asked them a few years ago. Stuff of legends. On another note, the Iranian team are being treated horrendously by the US. Just reading about their treatment and...

Cape Verde is through. That’s the story of the World Cup right there.

Apple upped their prices too by a few hundred per device. These are very significant raises. What I read was either get hold of last years stock, wait it out until 2028 or pay 30-40% more than usual. I’ve never spent what I just did on a laptop and that includes a pimped out MacBook Pro...

I caught a dip in the S&P last week and just added more to an ETF (TPU). Mimico…not sure what you have decided to do but my strategy is a few big names (Costco etc) and mostly S&P ETFs. I transfer a set amount every month into my TFSA and RRSP accounts and let it ride for a bit as cash and...

My ceiling saga is nearly at an end. What I thought was condensation, which was really a huge leak (actually several different leaks over many years), which led to a peaked roof being put on over a flat roof is at the drywall stage. The spray foam guys came back last week to fix a small...

Just in case anyone is laptop hunting, things are pretty bleak right now. Prices are up and continue to go up as there’s a memory supply issue due to AI servers swallowing available inventory. I had a quote from Lenovo that was locked in last week and the same laptop is now $600 more. I...

That was rough for Canada today. They actually had momentum at one point in the game in the second half but the stupid hydration break broke it. The Swiss were marginally better on the day and made less mistakes.

It’s all good. Some Google foo found a few leads. I added to my collection of jerseys from SVP Sports actually. Managed to get an official Venezuela jersey and a Greece one for 40ish bucks a piece. They have some good deals.

Put a roof on it. Then put a lawn on the roof. Then put a shed on the new raised lawn.

It’s not coming home. England were terrible.

Senegal Norway was fantastic last night. I really hope Senegal sneak through to the next round as they were fantastic to watch. One of the few teams where the passing and skill is so top level that the transitions across the width of the pitch with one long accurate pass are very regular...

Any one you would recommend? I used to use MineJerseys but the quality was so-so.

Cape Verde official jerseys were $200+ CDN and they are all sold out. Egypt poured on some Salah style last night. One thing I like about the World Cup is that there are plenty of teams out there where the players are genuinely happy to play as a team member with national pride. The smiles...

That was a brilliant game to watch. One of the best so far for the drama and enthusiasm of the team and supporters. At half time the BBC showed a clip of an interview in Cape Verde just at the moment they scored their first goal and it was a beautiful thing to see. “The crowd went wild”...

I really want to see Iran play the US. Iran shuts up shop and charges the US to get out of their half.

I think it’s going to be reviewed. Only FIFA has introduced the breaks, all European games don’t include them, MLS doesn’t include them, South America etc etc. Part of the game is playing for 45 minutes and dealing with changes in momentum and adapting to tactics. If North Americans have ADHD...

Cowboy mount for that. I have my doubts that I could pull that off 100% of the time on my motorcycle though. I used to swing my leg over normally on the bike until I realized those strange strains and cramps were because I no longer had the flexibility I had when I was younger so left peg it...

The NOCO booster/jump start packs are great. Decent price on Amazon and often on sale. I have a separate slime inflator but it’s been years since I used it. Probably should check it.

I have used these on all my bikes for tapping into lines for power. Pretty foolproof and a solid connection. https://www.amazon.ca/Lockitt-POSI-TAP-Assortment-connectors-10-22/dp/B00CMC5DII
