  Did you know that many tape measures come with the length of the body printed on it? It's more accurate to use that length rather than bending the tape to fit in a corner and guessing what the length is.

  My son sent this picture of the S/V Path in Coal Harbour, #Vancouver I easily found it on marinetraffic.com because it's so much bigger than anything else.

  So, the thought occurred to me today, Wreck Beach at UBC is part of Pacific Spirit Park, which is a #ParksOnTheAir park. That means that you could activate the park while completely nude. NPOTA! #amateurRadio

  Added a new git alias to my config: mine = "!base=$(git log --perl-regexp --author=\"^(?!$(git config user.name))\" -1 --format=%H); git diff \"$@\" \"$base\"" So often I'm working on a local branch and want to see my recent commits. This saves me looking at git log and manually copying the SHA. Is there a better way to do it? #programming

  Me: Neat, I'm moving to a house with home delivery mail. I've been at a place with community mailboxes for about 20 years. Mark Carney: Mwahaha. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/canada-post-community-mailboxes-questions-9.7148787

  Trespassers on the West Coast Express tracks, so the train was delayed by about 10 minutes. #Vancouver
