  2. #Canada is not the only country that is somewhat #schizoid about #units / #metric and #Imperial measures.

    I bought a roll of copper foil tape from China (AliExpress, natch) that was described as "20 mm x 393.7 inches". Why they didn't just say 10 meters is beyond me 😆

  21. #Parking in #Regina, part 3...

    I submitted a "service request" about paying for #parking meters downtown, because they're going "app-only", and I have no mobile phone.

    I got a #contemptuous email telling me I'd said I was "not comfortable with technology". Fuck you, I'm a software engineer of nearly 3 decades. I responded to say a) I didn't say I wasn't comfortable with tech, and b) it was insulting.

    So I got a second reply today, including this fantastic line:

    > We apologize for the stress caused to you due to the transition of paying
    > for the parking #meters.

    Somebody at City Hall is feeling awfully passive-aggressive.

    Then, today, I got a phone call. This person tried to convince me that this isn't a problem for me, and tried to offer "solutions" which I had already explained were not applicable in my original request:

    1. Park off-street in a private lot. No: it's more expensive, I have no income, and the nearest ones are multiple blocks away from where I need to go. Not practical for someone with #mobility issues, and there are lots of us out here.

    2. Buy a special "park for free at meters" pass. Cost: $1040 plus taxes. This is a giant "up yours" suggestion.

    3. JK, there are no other solutions.

    So I said, "Is it the city's official position that I'm #screwed and can't park downtown to receive medical treatments?" and she said yes.

    I'm fucking tired of #bureaucrats making decisions without caring how it affects #residents.

    3. JK, there are no other solutions.

    So I said, "Is it the city's official position that I'm #screwed and can't park downtown to receive medical treatments?" and she said yes.

    I'm fucking tired of #bureaucrats making decisions without caring how it affects #residents.

  27. How about a heart warming story?

    "Texas #Mailman Adopts Beloved #Dog from His Old Route After its Vietnam #Veteran Owner Passes Away"

    I used to read #meters for a #utility company 30 years ago & knew everyone's pets. It was fun to bring them treats & the #dogs always knew you were coming. Every dog in da hood barking. Best job I ever had. 🙂

  30. The #story of the Night-Cat goes like this:

    You are in the woods under a full moon. You hear leaves rustling & twigs snapping, & you see two gold lamps side by side--as if a child is walking with a lamp in each hand. These are the Night-Cat's eyes. So long as you see them, you're safe. Beware, though, when the cat's #pupils fill its eyes & darken the lamps--it's sighted prey. In seconds it closes the #meters between it & you. It pounces, & you don't feel the blow.

  35. For #decades #electricity #meters just worked. #Power usage either wasn't an issue because it was affordable or you had no trouble working it out. The #electricitymeters rarely needed replacement. Now I concede that as we now have so many #HMOs #smartmeters may be useful for some & emailing a number too onerous for others. But unlike the previous methods these 'smart' ones need paying for, updating, replacing & acceptance that your #data 'may' be shared.
