I never posted another "garage door fix" post after this one because we ended up getting a new garage door opener when the old one started failing even more and was beyond repair and also my partner was fed up with my hacks.

30 ans après les faits.
En France, les victimes engagées en tant que parties civiles attendent toujours que la justice bouge.
Le dossier OKC-Spatz a été rouvert en 2021. Depuis ?

Good Morning #Canada
2026 has been designated as the International Year of the Woman Farmer by the United Nations, in an effort to increase and improve food security across the planet. Once again we call upon the fairer sex to save humanity.
Women led farms are on the rise in Canada. From the 2021 #StatsCan report, there were 80,000 female farm operators, representing 30% of total farm operators, up from 25% in 1991. In general female participation is increasing while men are decreasing. Farming is an industry where women operators can achieve wage parity with male counterparts because compensation is based on market conditions, but currently most women led farms are smaller with less annual revenues.
A helpful #AI tells me a female farmer could could be called a farmerette, a farmeress, or farmHER. So helpful...
Two articles are linked - a feel good news piece from the CBC, and more solid demographic info from FCC-FAC.ca.
