Só não me espanta porque sei perfeitamente que espécie de merdosos o tuguedo resolveu enfiar na assembleia.
Isto serš levantar suspeitas? Hm... bem, não, é só a constatação de factos. Se o tuguedo enche a AR de bosta é natural fazer a ligação entre ela e atitudes de merda.

Um bêbado foi ao bar Šs sete da manhã e, de meia em meia hora, pedia
mais uma dose.
Cansado de atender ao bêbado, o balconista resolveu sacaneš-lo. Viu um
copo com uma barata dentro e serviu-o para o homem.
Ele bebeu, sentiu aquela coisa na boca, deu uma mordidinha e comeu.
Depois de meia hora:
-- Mais, uma! E capricha na ameixa!

If anyone has a line on a free-or-near-free source of flatscreen LCD monitors with ATSC antenna connections, please do let me know. Would like to build a little ‘over-the-air’ TV monitoring studio.
These little LG 24LJ4540s are perfect.
Two dozen of them would be ideal but 12 would be a good start.

just registered for my continuing Spanish (200) class next semester.
The enrollment problems at VIU (and all across the sector) have made it difficult to fill these classes. The fall semester class didn't run because there were not enough students enrolled.
I really really hope it gets up to the number needed to run the course!
There always seems to be good uptake of the 100/101 classes but 200 is a struggle.

amongst the various start-of-semester things to do today, I started a new backup 800gb of a Time Machine backup onto a HFS formatted disk image.
and also planted my "vegehome" with a fresh batch of little plant plugs. Look at their little plastic domes. 🥰
Once these lettuces and stuff run their course, I want to try something a little bigger... like maybe starting a little fruit tree.

Got my vaccine invite last night. Flu/Covid shot booked now!
2:50PM this afternoon at a pharmacy near to VIU. We’ll see if I can walk there, get in, and out, in time for my bus home. 😆 🚎

Oh look, the #BCNDP Government finally noticed the Post-Secondary system is collapsing. *slowclap*
Can hardly wait for that report next spring... maybe I will still have a job by then...
PS: I have a crazy idea: perhaps post-secondary should be majority-funded by government, not by exploitative international tuitions that can just *disappear*)
PPS: Domestic enrolment is not declining in any significant kind of way in the sector. From the “State of Post Secondary Education in Canada 2025” by Alex Usher:
"This decline in per-student funding is therefore not primarily a result of a significant decline in total funding; rather, it is a result of expenditures remaining more or less
constant while enrollments increased.”
WHICH IS WHAT EDUCATORS HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR DECADES
