Majestical.

Focus session one for Getting Married.

C-clamp?

I-clamp maybe.

Critical integrity failure. Thank gods the technician still had one hand on the light.

Me: Watches 'Sunshine' (2007).

Me five minutes after the movie ends: "Man, I could really go for watching 'Sunshine' again..."

Incels and other sexist men can’t see a woman doing something incredible without fuming and trying to discredit her. They’re now dissing on Katie Bouman, who helped write one of the algorithms that got us the black hole picture, saying she was just an assistant (they don’t know what assistant professor is), and using Andrew Chael, her colleague in the Event Horizon Telescope team who helped write one of the codes, as ~the true person behind the codes who is being erased by this anti-men society~ or whatever. They’re even saying crap like “lmao women really don’t do shit”. Andrew took to Twitter himself to call bullshit on that.

If y'all can spread this thread to counter such narrative it’d be great.

Stick it to "The Big Oil Man"- Canadian Edition.

Fill up to a round number plus one or two cents.

Pay in cash.

"Free" gas, one overpriced, world-destroying drop at a time.

(For non Canucks, we cancelled the penny a while ago. Debit/Credit is billed to the cent. Cash payments are rounded up or down to the nearest nickel.)

With/Without Directors.
