I'm a living-type person with one foot in my #tech job (open source, #CouchDB, #OfflineFirst), one foot in #electronics (analogue design, synthesizers, etc.), another in #music (currently participating in A Whale's Lantern) and another in relaxing stuff (#comedy #scifi #cats).

Oops, that makes me a quadruped Well, you get the idea.

My timeline is mostly politics free and inclusive. Come here to #relax. Look forward to meeting you!

From a lawyer friend: "If people are curious how the mass prosecutions of illegal entry is working out in the courts:

"Illegal entry, which is a misdemeanor, was rarely prosecuted before. And almost always, illegal entry is plea bargained to 'time served'.

RIP Koko the Gorilla. She was 46. We learned so much about our NON-uniqueness as humans from her. And ourselves in turn.

And given current STEM funding priorities, it's unlikely anyone will attempt an experiment like this again anytime soon.

Goddamn it.

Check out these sweet old batteries I found inside a medical device today.

Ordering parts in Canada, you only have a few choices.

When I order from digikey.ca, my order ships within 24h and arrives within 24h after that, barring holidays and weekends.

Three times now I've ordered from mouser.ca. The order doesn't even get "picked" from the warehouse for at least 48h. And it then takes at least 48h to arrive here. Mouser is a bit cheaper, but usually not enough to justify the extra slowness.

Other vendors have poor selection or don't ship to .ca. :(

"Trudeau says pot will be legal as of Oct. 17, 2018"

Cannabis will be legal in Canada in 8-12 weeks.
