I have a weak bladder, so I always prefer aisle seats, it's awkward to wake up some random person who's trying to sleep so I can pee.

one month passes...

I learned very recently that Vancouver is all the way out west... I just thought it was close to Toronto or something. idk fuck

flappy bird, Wednesday, 18 January 2017 03:03 (nine years ago)

And the weird part is that you live in Etobicoke.

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 18 January 2017 03:16 (nine years ago)

i learned that "Toonrot" is an anagram for Toronto

Neanderthal, Wednesday, 18 January 2017 03:22 (nine years ago)

Vancouver is Canadian Seattle. Or vice versa

mh 😏, Wednesday, 18 January 2017 03:43 (nine years ago)

Only figured out upon hearing it today (probably because I never paid anything but peripheral attention to the song before) that Adam Duritz is the second voice on '6th Avenue Heartache'.

Yeah, I don't really care, either.

Gorvernment Stoodge (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 18 January 2017 04:54 (nine years ago)

now I hate the song twice as much, thanks

Neanderthal, Wednesday, 18 January 2017 05:01 (nine years ago)

Vancouver is Canadian San Diego, if you think about it.

I learned two months ago that peanuts aren't nuts.

I didn't know Vancouver was on the Pacific til I was 27.

harold melvin and the bluetones (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 18 January 2017 05:53 (nine years ago)

Vancouver is undoubtedly canadian seattle

F♯ A♯ (∞), Wednesday, 18 January 2017 07:12 (nine years ago)

I heard about it as Vancouver being Canadian San Francisco as in arty bohemian magnet some years ago. I think reflected in music scene etc.
But not sure who from there beyond My Indole Ring and Subhumans during different eras.

Stevolende, Wednesday, 18 January 2017 08:04 (nine years ago)

at least we're all agreeing it's like some other west coast city

mh 😏, Wednesday, 18 January 2017 15:00 (nine years ago)

It's like the Joplin, Mo. of British Columbia.

There was one of those 3-D computer-generated shows starring the Mouse. Soundtrack by They Might Be Giants

Annnoyed me at :59 how fast the characters disappeared from them leaving the gate to when the camera pans to its wide shot.

That the power on/off symbols '|' and 'O' come from the binary system, 1 and 0. This knowledge helps enormously to keep the two apart.

It took me ages to learn which is which. I think this is because I have a memory of shutting down a television set when I was young, you'd see this fading flash that, in our case, resembled '|'. So I always thought that meant 'off', and O seemed logical to me to mean 'on', in an open circuit kind of way.

Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 19 January 2017 15:26 (nine years ago)

It never even occurred to me. I just thought it was a cool symbol.

pplains, Thursday, 19 January 2017 16:59 (nine years ago)

a lot of these symbols that are just 'symbols' on the surface are actually quite logical. Like the divide-by sign (a dot, above a line, above a dot - can't find it on a modern keyboard) is just a representation of what you'd do with long division.

Lennon, Elvis, Hendrix etc (dog latin), Thursday, 19 January 2017 19:31 (nine years ago)

That makes sense. But to me '|' feels way more like 'closed', or off, than O which feels open or on. But it's the other way around.

Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 19 January 2017 22:21 (nine years ago)

that americans think michael flateley is irish

michael flateley is the most american least irish person in the world

trilby mouth (darraghmac), Thursday, 19 January 2017 23:30 (nine years ago)

Most American Irish are more likely to have predominate DNA/family history that hails from the fjords, brits or the Nazis, you can't blame them for trying really.
