I actually sat down and finished a book for the first time in awhile (Resurrection Man).

12·10 days agoMore insane cult stuff has emerged - this time its MAPLE. https://www.insidemaple.com/p/the-high-control-dynamics-at-maple

Thats the store. I suspect the hardening is for bears - they are a very serious hazard up there. When I was doing my work placement at a uranium mill (about like 600km north of where I was today) I was told of repeat incidents were bears breached the dormitories. In at least one case they had to construct barricades out of sofas.
I drove up into the boreal forest as far as the paved road goes! My brother got sent to Uranium City for work, and I’m really jealous (airfare is like 2000 dollar one way range yeeesh).

They’ve actually kept me on another month. I don’t get it either. They’re generally unhappy I’m leaving. And the software is so fucking jank you wouldn’t believe.

Tires are actually more interesting than you would expect. I really love hearing customer opinions on how they perform in actual use.
Also we get a real mix of vehicles at the shop. I’ve seen multiple Mercedes and even a Rivian!
(I’m also the last seasonal employee left standing/got a month long extension as apparently I’m good at this?!?! I’m going to have like a year of unemployment to draw on for RMT school when this ends so I’m pretty happy. Not going to lie, its kinda stressful but I’m actually enjoying being challenged for once).
I got white ink in my memorial tattoo and I think it actually looks great?

8·1 year agoI’m just amused these guys will circle the wagons to protect a chaser (granted I noted on reddit this was a common trope with them).






I rode a train for the first time in Estonia and the experience was magical. It had service to all these tiny rural towns too! I wish we had that kind of thing!
