This is cool. The CIRA - the Canadian Internet Registry Authority, which manages .CA domains has offered up free Canadian stock images. Their Canadian Stock Photo library is full of original, maple syrup-infused photography that is free to use and share! All they ask is that you credit CIRA/.CA domains whenever you use their photos and you are free to build as many websites, memes, and annual reports as you like. It also includes Indigeneous themed photos. #Canada #ElbowsUp https://www.cira.ca/en/stock-gallery/

@hewer_of_code@mstdn.ca That is really cool. 1 billion or so cricket fans in the rest of world may question the niche thing. OneSoccer can be a good competitor to TSN in the areas that aren't full on money makers for TSN and owned by Rogers or Bell. Forge fans were spoiled watching Mackenzie develop as a really good sports broadcaster. She did in game hosting at McMaster, got the gig as an in game host at Forge. She did a ton of podcasting with players and coaches at the club. She did 2 years of Behind the Beard, where she quizzed and shot the breeze with Bobby. Incredibly fun stuff. All while still at uni. In her last year McMaster, she got a gig as a student intern at the World University Games in Turin in 2025. She was hired right into OneSoccer out of school. She does a CBC show Soccer North interviewing men and women players. The kid's alright. As you can tell I am a fan.

@benroyce@mastodon.social Also the "be" in "bemused", is a germanic artifact. English words with the be in front are intensifiers or reflexive. To become, to bequest, to bemoan. @not2b@sfba.social @sundogplanets@mastodon.social

@benroyce@mastodon.social I worry that a (un)civil war is the next step. I hope there enough left in the military with enough gumption to prevent a serious uprising. A bought and paid for Supreme Court can't be trusted to stop shenanigans at the ballot boxes. A desperate electorate has been seen to cause chaos for the elite in many countries. Unrelated, I had a friend (really) who was in Romania in 1989. His take was that Ceaucescu got off easy. @Beltliner403@mastodon.online @Lazarou@mastodon.social @phl@mastodon.social @randahl@mastodon.social

@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt Is that a Rotoweiler?

@benroyce@mastodon.social Danke for the response (thank you) Bedanke for the response (I thank you) English is so frick'n German. ! @not2b@sfba.social @sundogplanets@mastodon.social

@benroyce@mastodon.social When my Duolingo German introduced me to krank for sick, I was more than bemused. So many great words. I have appreciated being the recipient of years of downloading Germanic language into "English" @not2b@sfba.social @sundogplanets@mastodon.social

@dyckron@cosocial.ca @nxskok@cupoftea.social Years ago, before mobile phones and such, I was at a national conference for a sports organization. We were in BC. We were sitting in a hotel room, having a brew or two. Turned on the TV and there was a story about a moose in a home pool in Newfoundland. Hey, my friend said, that looks like my pool. He phoned home next day. His partner said she didn't want to bother him. They drained the pool and it got out ok. #Moose #CanadaEh

@zazzoo@mstdn.ca I know, it is funny. I especially like her Canadian tux. So much to unpack, but beautiful at the same time. Eh?

@benroyce@mastodon.social What ya gonna do? You got them that far. All you can do is hope they follow that advice. It is a wrench tho' . You'll be fine. 😁🤣😂 @CStamp@mastodon.social

@benroyce@mastodon.social So, the standard 17-18 year project then? @CStamp@mastodon.social Our last words to them.

@benroyce@mastodon.social You or the cat? @CStamp@mastodon.social

@benroyce@mastodon.social Ya them too. @CStamp@mastodon.social

@ambientspace@cloudisland.nz An in ground. Apparently it is a thing. They survive okay. Moose are beasts I was canoeing a few years ago. There was a buck swimming across a lake. We paddled within 10 metres of it. A beautiful animal. We stayed back to not upset it. Moose are cool. @dyckron@cosocial.ca @nxskok@cupoftea.social @jaztrophysicist@social.sciences.re

@RickiTarr@beige.party Right?

@paulywill@mstdn.ca Sorry to hear. Try a ping to @cira@mstdn.ca

@madbarrister@mastodon.social I can't not respond. This only works if it is a normal distribution for Bear IQ. If there is a really smart bear then it skews the average. Ditto a really dumb bear. Average net worth maybe $100,000 but it includes billionaires. So the median is lower, probably on $10. But other than the statistical fallacy, very droll. 😁🤣😉

@hewer_of_code@mstdn.ca And 24 seconds....

@ottaross@mastodon.social Ooh. We have Shakespeare in the park, why not light fare in the waiting room. "As you like it" "The Taming of the Shrew"...

@ottaross@mastodon.social Once upon a midday dreary, while I fondled, old and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping a numbered sign “’Tis my turn, oh” I muttered, “just tapping time for lunch — Only this and nothing more.”

@hewer_of_code@mstdn.ca Can you get new kids?

@stacescases2.bsky.social I have been thinking this for a while. The #CPC has spent more than a decade mocking, infantilizing, emasculating, demonizing the leader of the #Liberal party as a matter of course. They tried last year to demonize #Carney running blood red, vampire teeth Carney. Interesting that haven't been emptying the coffers in another lost cause. The #Conservatives have become less and less relevant. And they have a 20+ year career politician who doesn't know how to act as a statesman. You have to earn respect. #NeverVoteConservative #cdnpoli https://youtu.be/BSGV2smCJy8

@hewer_of_code@mstdn.ca We are playing a dangerous one with the biggest I know.
