  • My partner calls me a cat because I can catch flies. Good reaction time, hand-eye coordination, likely from being a former hockey goalie in uni. If I drop something, I can often manage to catch it with the same hand I dropped it from, which is usually pretty neat.

    Not so long ago I was drying a sharp kitchen knife.

















  • Chron:

    CNBC gave each state a “Quality of Life” rating based on several key factors, including issues that have become political flashpoints, such as reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ protections and healthcare.

    CNBC:

    CNBC is placing increasing emphasis on Quality of Life, one of the 10 categories of competitiveness in our annual America’s Top States for Business study. It is our annual ranking of every state’s business climate, now in its 20th year. Under this year’s methodology, the category makes up 11.6% of a state’s overall score, up from about ten percent last year.

    11.6%. Thanks Chron, for underplaying the fact that this wasn’t even a study about the poor QOL in these states, they just happen to have poor QOL. Not to mention in the QOL section there were some pretty important topics, like, you know, ability to put food on the table and violent crime.



  • Most fire fighters haven’t either 😀

    Fun story: A car was on fire and both surrounding stations rocketed over since it was the first real fire in forever. A passing water truck had already put it out. The firefighters were furious, as most of them only get to do anything in training.

    It’s about the mindset and intent of wanting to save, not just the act itself.
