    Just started Mobland with Tom Hardy, Piers Brosnan and Helen Mirren. Looks like a well made gangster series about two warring crime families in London. Hardy has the “quiet menace” thing dialled in.

    Anyone heard of HelmetLiquidation.com

    I had a look at Mosco Moto stuff recently but looked elsewhere when the equivalent prices per gram looked like they belonged to a precious metal instead. Nuts level prices.

    I'm using the “649” plan for my retirement.

    I somehow missed the last series of Slow Horses back in September. This newest one is still excellent. Gary Oldman was born to play this role.

    Stocks

    When I had money in mutual funds they just seemed to be a vehicle for making my bank money and not me. Since I dissolved them and reinvested the cash myself (following sensible advise) the difference has been immense. Well, so far anyway.

    Family friendly vacations.

    Accommodation in Paris isn’t cheap and I'm not sure the Euro is great for CDN exchange either.

    Family friendly vacations.

    It’s very popular with Germans and they definitely don’t speak a lot of Spanish. What do the kids like? For me a foreign holiday is all about experiences that you can’t get back home. Seeing a sloth or an iguana, surfing on a tropical beach, learning a new language, eating different food...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    I have no doubt I could manage putting up siding but I also have no doubt that I would cack up flashing and trim at corners edges and windows.

    Started it. It’s not bad.

    iPad

    Just in case it matters…the regular iPad doesn’t have a gps chip in it. If you get the cellular enabled one it does and you can add a sim and an add on to your cell plan to run the iPad over cellular data. You can also use the gps chip without a sim in it too. A regular iPad can hot spot to...

    iPad

    Yep. 11” is a decent size. I’m typing this reply on an 11” pro right now. Screens are great, you can watch movies on it, quite light, will run cell phone style games easily etc.

    iPad

    An iPad mini would work. Get the regular size if you want to watch movies. They are great tablets just pricey.

    iPad

    What do you want to do on it? I've had every type, Air, normal and two different Pro sizes. With some limitations a Pro can do quite a bit of what a laptop can do but it’s pricey. I can edit RAW photos on it for example using Adobe software among other things.

    Cuba...

    Quite a few news pundits suggesting the Cuba thing is Rubio's idea as he’s had a hard on for Cuba for a very long time. Then there’s the weird hypocrisy of MAGA sycophants baying about “communist Cuba” while ignoring the fact that Trump is giving Putin whatever Putin wants.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    I can sand the epoxy flat after it’s set right? It’s a relatively new fridge and I’d like to try to make it look as good as I can.

    The "Official" Watch Thread and all Things Horological

    I don’t mind it aside from a couple of things. What’s the big deal about pressing a button to record the goals? That seems dumb. Second Q is the watch seems over complicated comparing it to other watches that do similar things. Or is that the point?

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Yes the liner. A search on Google pulled up repairs with silicone which also seemed weird to me. I'm not going to be able to easily access the back of the crack without making things worse I don’t think. It’s hollow under there too so if I tried to push material underneath through the crack I...

    Crappy tire has this… General PDP Template Might do the job. Probably would need a gloss layer though.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Do you already have siding on? I think we are just going to repaint ours to refresh it. The cost to replace seems a bit outrageous. On another note. Dropped something heavy on the fridge interior and have a crack there now. Google says fill with silicone, my thoughts are that doesn’t sound...

    Where to get a puppy?

    This is an interesting article. I think I agree with most points. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/feb/15/losing-a-pet-grief-bereavement
