@jwildeboer when I was a young guy in my first engineering job I had a habit of asking presenters when they used an acronym unknown to me, as I genuinely wanted to learn.

It could be rather awkward as they often didn't know. It made me ensure that I always knew what the ones I used stood for to avoid that embarrassment.

We were promised a bat-man, and instead we're getting bath-robe man. A bit of bait and switch going on here.

Okay, so he's only green at night? It's like a were-hulk thing?

Establishing shot across the desert, with suitably poor filming quality.

This is a grainy gem.

It's amazing how your brain can instantaneously search and find an error in your email during that brief fraction of a second as your finger presses on the mouse clicking the "Send" button.

We have the luxury of three #breakfast places within a five minute walk.

One is a huge American breakfast chain we've never patronized. Another is a sports bar with a billion distracting TVs and a high potential for surly toddlers. The third is a frozen-in-time 1960s #greasySpoon with few tables and questionable hygiene, but cheap prices and a very good eggs-bacon-and-potatoes game.

We had the greasy-spoon for lunch this week, so it's the sports-bar place.

Which would you frequent?

@Gargron oh! Does that mean I can hide the image associated with a media card when people share a news-site link?

Getting tired of seeing you-know-who's face in my feed 'cuz it's always there to illustrate each of his crimes. A 'hide' for the image while being able to still read the headline would be great.

Eager to check out the new feature.

@maldr0id classic man-at-the-end attack.

@HamonWry You get on here and you're just struttin' around, spewing your genial and compassionate verbiage and don't care who reads it.

The Ontario Place complex wouldn't see a threat of this magnitude again until a certain Doug Ford staggered onto the scene and trashed the place forty years later.

@WarnerCrocker aha - I was recently thinking of something similar – putting small printed post-it notes on them, but this is a better idea!

Get in losers, we're going voting!

Easy way for Ontarians to stop losing – let's replace this government.

Vote strategically, and avoid splitting the vote on the left/centre. Choose the most popular non-con in your riding.

It may have been ten minutes since you last heard someone encourage you to vote in #Ontario, so I'll pop in here and say I hope you make time to go vote today if you haven't already!

Yay! Last vestiges of #democracy for the win!

They're not doing a good job of suggesting multiple weeks between full moons. It seems rather like the moon goes full every few days.

"Oh Paul, hold me and let's reminisce about all our times together. Wait a minute we've only had about two minutes together in the whole movie. How is it that we're in love exactly?"

Carla wears her hair *up* for a reason. She tucks a few mice in there occasionally too, no doubt.

Ah - Borski castle. Sausages are half price on Tuesdays!

Warning - long thread.

Was trying to figure out what had triggered a nasty #migraine overnight that required twice as much medication as usual. I somehow forgot that I had a jaw full of dental freezing yesterday morning.

I hadn't known that dental work/freezing could be a trigger, but then again I almost never see a dentist, so I suppose I wouldn't know.

Any other #migraineurs find that to be the case? Some big weather swings in the last 25hrs too I suppose, which can be triggering.

A batch of #bread just into the oven. Bodes well for breakfast. Plenty of time before bed to wrap up the bake.
