Sudden escape

posted in education, technology |

An eventual incident: that is how I refer to a sudden breach in one of the Sodastream cylinders. It’s loud, and the layer of very cold frost is actually hand-painful. Thirty minutes later, and I still don’t know if this involved the overpressure screw, or the main valve, or the thread into the tank, or… I’ll find out, perhaps tomorrow, and we’ll exchange the bad tank for a good one. And life will go on.

I’ve learned that a significant group from my family is here. Early morning flight. In the morning (tomorrow) we will try to meet for coffee or brunch or something.

Hubris: an act of an elected official where faulty licence plates are accepted without due testing, because… for details, check with the ON premier.

Advertising optics. Delta Airlines CEO refuses to actually say the word “Delta” when discussing pandemic. Can’t make up silly details like this.

The authorities in BC and WA have prevented an incursion across the border. Yes, by murder hornets. Sci-fi movies are us.

While cleaning a famous painting, experts have uncovered an unknown painting. Image within an image, etc. I don’t see enough real art to pretend I’d even notice the difference.

Our provincial government can change direction very quickly. Masks are now back in favour, in terms of resumption of classes in the school system. To be fair, the students weren’t even aware of the drama, because we’re still a few days away from the opening bell, but for any teacher trying to develop trust in the expert hand of the ministry, FAIL.
