Better arm yourself to protect from roving bands of leather clad IP lawyers patrolling the wasteland looking for copyright violations on behalf of Lord Mouse.

BC extended the ban on gatherings with non-household members to Jan 8, which means Christmas is canceled. Good, but I'm sure this is going to be widely ignored.

Still waiting for Christmas and more importantly Christmas shopping in person being cancelled. Stay the gently caress home. I don't want covid because you're hell bent to get new loving skis. There isn't even any snow.

infernal machines posted:i thought you guys were closed down We shut our doors for a week, opened back up, and then a day later the restrictions were announced. We're doing sales over the phone with curbside for skis but bikes are essential as well as winter outerwear so people are just coming right in just like last time. It's super fun. XC ski people see someone standing in the shop getting bike stuff and they walk in demanding to be allowed to finger gently caress ski gear and I gotta tell em no, they have to go back outside and phone us. are super neurotic cheap and entitled so when I do they either act extremely baffled or just cranky. I put a long rear end sign on the door explaining all this but either XC people are apparently split between illiterate or just not loving caring. One of my colleagues had some moron come in and literally say 'I saw your sign but the door was unlocked, I just want to buy some poles is that ok???' A few other shops in the city are doing it the same way we are. Others just said 'gently caress this' and closed their showrooms to both bike and ski customers.

I plan on being a wasteland hunter that hurls axes at the corporate copyright enforcement drones and scavenges their shiny carapace. Either I become successful and can trade my many shiny materials for food and clay mickey mouse heads, or I get instantly vaporized by a drone. Either way is fine, frankly

Unlike stupid post apoc movies the wasteland is going to be dominated by those that can repair and maintain bicycles so I'm gonna be sitting pretty as some local warlords tech priest.

https://financialpost.com/investing/fp-investigation-as-cews-flowed-in-dividends-flowed-out 1 billion in, 5 billion out! What a steal! The culprits are rather unsurprising except, at least from my perspective, Extendicare. I'm seriously confused how they convinced anyone that they'd be a good investment given their utter ball dropping? I guess 'too big to fail' really is just how it's gonna be from here on out.
