@jfmezei@cosocial.ca That preliminary report was released while ago. The report has no official date of release, but the document properties indicate it was created on July 11, 2025. Or is it November 7, 2025? Anyway, no new info. They must be close to figuring out exactly what happened.

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca Lukashenko stated they don't have any potash to spare. 😁

Hey @jfmezei@cosocial.ca, do you remember the Chines aircraft that lost a cockpit window over the Himalayas a few years ago? There's now a Mayday - Air Crash Investigation episode about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phDSGovZbME

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca Yesterday, I completely avoided the rain. I remained dry. Today, I drove to work. It rained. I remained dry in my car.

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca @heliomass@cosocial.ca No. Just no. No one deserves that!

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca Not planned yet. That's the next step: planning everything around the destinations.

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca I got extra comfort seats for the long haul between Vancouver and Taipei. I selected the base fare and paid some $600 to book the seats on three flights. It was only $100 more than the standard fare which doesn't give you any price breaks on the seat selection except to give you the $50 standard seats for free. Now I can use the money I've saved on hotels.

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca Just how many screenshots of old weather events have you saved? 😂 Yesterday's rainstorm was brutal. Flooded streets, fallen trees, branches everywhere. It'll take a while to clean up the mess.

I'll just leave this here.

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca Did a multi-city estimate on Expedia. $3,500. I'll be a trip around the world since the flight from Ottawa to Singapore is via Europe.

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca The hotel for Singapore is booked. Will be staying outside of downtown for more comfort and to cut costs. The train only takes a half hour to get downtown.

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca So two turnstile taxes instead of one. Got it! 👍

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca I'm afraid to ask how much you weighed before and after the trip! 😁

@rbreich@masto.ai Your apology is rejected. You voted for this.

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca I might go to Tokyo for a week to catch up on stuff I missed. The other week will be in Singapore. That's if airfare prices haven't gone completely insane.

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca A pizza stone I got from my sister as a Christmas gift many years ago. It does help a lot. I might try a pizza steel one day. It's a better conductor of heat and will probably do a better job of thoroughly baking the crust.

@chad@mstdn.ca It's a good reference. Most Canadians already know what's the size of a timbit.

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca Europe is already working on setting up their own payment network. Banning ICC staff from American services helped accelerate this process. https://youtube.com/watch?v=rJq9QOo8Ak0

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca One of my finest moments! 😂

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca Photo is missing.

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca Change of plans. The new destination isn't Tokyo, but Taipei. For some 3 grand, I can do both Singapore and Taipei.

🍕🍕🍕

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca It's working in Ottawa.

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca No, it was pretty easy. Even the trip home went smoothly with only a brief slowdown between Carling and Rochester.

...And then I saw the package with the label upside-down! 😂

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca Things have improved considerably. English is much more commonly used today.

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca I won't have time to sightsee. I'll just want to sleep as I ease myself back into my home time zone.

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca Not quite. The circle line might now be a circle, but there are stations where you have to get off and wait for the next train to continue.

@jcolp@oceanplayground.social I've stayed at that hotel! It's a very nice place.

@PogoWasRight@infosec.exchange 😂

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca It was so off-putting that I drove the wife to work today! 😁

Found on YouTube: crossing the Gordie Howe Bridge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhD8nSZalu0

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca Probably changed because Carelton on line 2 is also a campus.

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca Careful! Too much consumption of Trump could liquefy your brain! 🧠💦

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca And done! Just over $2,750 for Singapore and Taipei, five full days each, plus a lot of traveling. 🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬🌏

Spotted on Reddit: perversion test.

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca Ottawa->Vancouver->Taipei->Singapore. Singapore->Taipei. Taipei->Vancouver->Ottawa. Transit at Vancouver when heading to Singapore is 6 hours. Transit at Vancouver when heading to Ottawa is 13 hours. I'll spend the night at a hotel to recuperate.

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca I'm still working out which other cities and towns besides Taipei I should visit.

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca sunny, clear skies, low pollution levels... This ain't Ottawa! 🤬

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca I always watch them. But I do have a habit of watching them more often as the departure date approaches! 😂

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca The flight for Taipei leaves at 2 AM.

🍕🍕🍕

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca I'll find out how different it is when everyone settles in and I take the car to work next week.

@jfmezei@cosocial.ca Airlines are China Airlines and Air Canada, all on the same ticket.

🍕

@jcolp@oceanplayground.social It's definitely well located! The pier is right next door, and the citadel isn't too far away.

I should clean my car more often. 😁 🕷️ 🕸️
