Chocochili pyytää apuamme:

”Sivuston pyörittämiseen kuuluvat palvelinmaksut tulevat kalliiksi näillä lukijamäärillä ja tietysti reseptien kehittelyyn kuluu paljon rahaa. Tähän asti olen saanut sivuston pyörimään mainosrahoitteisesti sponsoroiduilla sisällöillä, mutta viime vuosina mainostajat eivät ole olleet kiinnostuneita nettisivujen mainossisällöistä ja talouden kiristyessä myös somessa yhteistyökumppaneiden löytäminen on ollut koko ajan vaikeampaa.”

Also we are not sure yet if this is going to happen or not, but we have decided we want to merge our accounts together. So @preciousoso, and the rest of us can post on one account. Mainly so that we dont have to maintain two, and also because we want to just be us. not just her and then us, or not just us, and she is separated. So I am not sure how that will work. - Lily

THe USA (as well as the rest of the world, maybe not including China) would have a serious problem if there was no internet. Systems would fail. Airplanes wouldn't fly. Powerr and heating would eventually go out. Grocery shopping would be impossible (no credit cards, no ATMs, no ability to restock). Same with telecoms (they're more resilient than everybody else, but they'd likely succumb to the same fate sooner or later).

But there is an easier way. @pluralistic has the gist of it.

Repeal the portion of Harper's C-11 where DRM override Canadian rights. Make repairing things legal. Also cancel the copyright extension.

Put back the DST (but the banker would never dare to do so) to encompass these "rental services" mentionned above. Tax Uber, Lyft and other "gig economy". You should be able to reconcile that from the tax information and send them the bill.

Sadly all of these require courage.

Hi everyone. It's a balmy -5 right now. Later the windchill is expected to be -35. Needless to say this woman is not going anywhere. Right now I'm listening to Highway 61 revisited, one of my favorite radio shows on WUMB. Albert O is so good at presenting some lesser played classic music. Right now he's doing a Neil Diamond set as it's his 85th birthday. I'm just going to read, knit and maybe watch a movie later. Have a good day and staywarm and safe!

Sounds like a plan. I don't think I've ever experienced that kind of windchill in my life. (I remember Eloquence pronouncing windchill like "windkill," which seems appropriate sometimes. I wonder if it still does.) Sometimes I used to have to walk to the commuter rail station with a windchill of -15 F when I was up there, and it wasn't fun, but I'm pretty sure that was the most cold I've ever had to experience.
We're getting freezing rain here, and people are advised to stay off the roads if at all possible. I was going to go to a meetup later today, but now it's happening over Zoom. It might get down into the teens in some places, and it's kind of an issue mostly because we don't normally prepare for that kind of cold. Freeze shelters need to open, pipes aren't very well insulated, and so on. But it isn't nearly as cold as what you're getting up there.
