Last Notes npub17qp6e3fhmn66ap2dyq92l7aqxtdfgfsl3g5835slffltaz4hmxrq60e4n8 Rob Attrell the 1-10 is also overly simplistic. It doesn’t look particularly smoky today but the air quality is far worse than the rating or using your eyes suggests! npub17qp6e3fhmn66ap2dyq92l7aqxtdfgfsl3g5835slffltaz4hmxrq60e4n8 Rob Attrell how do they count this?? It has been way more than 15 hours! npub17qp6e3fhmn66ap2dyq92l7aqxtdfgfsl3g5835slffltaz4hmxrq60e4n8 Rob Attrell The oceans are boiling and we’re just chilling in the steam 🥲 npub17qp6e3fhmn66ap2dyq92l7aqxtdfgfsl3g5835slffltaz4hmxrq60e4n8 Rob Attrell Can confirm it was so hot and so wet so early. https://ottawa.place/@YOW_Weather/114806441411080774 npub17qp6e3fhmn66ap2dyq92l7aqxtdfgfsl3g5835slffltaz4hmxrq60e4n8 Rob Attrell I’m curious, what is your go-to source for this? I find it very inconsistent between sources (not seeing those numbers) and trying to see if an afternoon bike ride will be feasible. npub17qp6e3fhmn66ap2dyq92l7aqxtdfgfsl3g5835slffltaz4hmxrq60e4n8 Rob Attrell Cool, it’s definitely on the list for my wife. Probably can’t justify a second non-cargo for myself…yet npub17qp6e3fhmn66ap2dyq92l7aqxtdfgfsl3g5835slffltaz4hmxrq60e4n8 Rob Attrell How do you like Aventon? It looks nice and functional! npub17qp6e3fhmn66ap2dyq92l7aqxtdfgfsl3g5835slffltaz4hmxrq60e4n8 Rob Attrell did I miss something?? npub17qp6e3fhmn66ap2dyq92l7aqxtdfgfsl3g5835slffltaz4hmxrq60e4n8 Rob Attrell all three of my kids demanded to ride their bikes after school today without not even promoting it. Proud dad moment for sure! npub17qp6e3fhmn66ap2dyq92l7aqxtdfgfsl3g5835slffltaz4hmxrq60e4n8 Rob Attrell I’m a bit delayed on my timeline and read this today, and REALLY freaked out for a sec 😂 npub17qp6e3fhmn66ap2dyq92l7aqxtdfgfsl3g5835slffltaz4hmxrq60e4n8 Rob Attrell I am really interested in commissioning digital artwork. It doesn’t need to be incredibly fancy but I am very willing to pay. How do I even get started with this? I’d love to support a Canadian/ideally local to Ottawa artist specifically if possible. Any tips or suggestions? npub17qp6e3fhmn66ap2dyq92l7aqxtdfgfsl3g5835slffltaz4hmxrq60e4n8 Rob Attrell I am going to try to make the case for as much of an extra day off as I can get starting in the spring. I hope it will be successful. Aiming for as compressed a week as they’ll let me have, for some reason I’m weirdly optimistic. npub17qp6e3fhmn66ap2dyq92l7aqxtdfgfsl3g5835slffltaz4hmxrq60e4n8 Rob Attrell thinking of switching my monthly from the main food bank directly to the local chapter. Seems like the righter thing to do but I know the city one probably has more purchasing power. Tough call. npub17qp6e3fhmn66ap2dyq92l7aqxtdfgfsl3g5835slffltaz4hmxrq60e4n8 Rob Attrell no way they do this but they 100% should. npub17qp6e3fhmn66ap2dyq92l7aqxtdfgfsl3g5835slffltaz4hmxrq60e4n8 Rob Attrell if you don’t have public washrooms, your whole city is a public washroom. npub17qp6e3fhmn66ap2dyq92l7aqxtdfgfsl3g5835slffltaz4hmxrq60e4n8 Rob Attrell luckily the time when we’d get overtime is February so it doesn’t take so long to pay out. npub17qp6e3fhmn66ap2dyq92l7aqxtdfgfsl3g5835slffltaz4hmxrq60e4n8 Rob Attrell yes and then I did it and just let the time pay out at the end of the year. npub17qp6e3fhmn66ap2dyq92l7aqxtdfgfsl3g5835slffltaz4hmxrq60e4n8 Rob Attrell Wow I hate this, every level of government in this country runs on pure vibes. We have actual clear evidence things could be better, I hate it. #ottawa #onpoli https://press.coop/@CBCNews/113167358929571501 npub17qp6e3fhmn66ap2dyq92l7aqxtdfgfsl3g5835slffltaz4hmxrq60e4n8 Rob Attrell were we not supposed to be ignoring the directive?! npub17qp6e3fhmn66ap2dyq92l7aqxtdfgfsl3g5835slffltaz4hmxrq60e4n8 Rob Attrell I’d be in support of creating a public word of mouth list of cool Ottawa people (especially if that’s a thing mastodon supports, but I’d do it on the web too). Discoverability doesn’t get the algorithmic benefit but my local network has been growing…slowly.
