If it’s a local destination that I know well I have a pretty good estimation in my head, but again those unexpected factors can throw a wrench in my plans.

I’ve only given it a relatively cursory look in the past, but it seems like Canada doesn’t give a quick pathway to citizenship via marriage. I think you can get a residency status somewhat quickly and easily, but it seemed like you’d need to live in Canada for a decade before you could apply for citizenship, whereas for my wife we could apply for US citizenship after 3 years or after she’d had her green card for 3 years, I can’t remember which exactly.

If you have the money, a lawyer can make the process a lot easier for the US, so I’d guess the same might be true for Canada.

Also, double-check how Canada views things, but if there’s any chance you might want to get your spouse a green card in the future, the US government strongly prefers that you get married in the United States. They seem very suspicious that marriages conducted in another country might not be real and that it’s just a scam to try to get a green card. The longer you’re married the less of an issue it is, but if you decide to get a green card in the first few years it could be a problem. If Canada is not as strict about that then you may want to have the legal wedding ceremony in the United States, even if you’ll be living in Canada.

And overall, I feel like it’s most valuable to try to get both parties some sort of citizenship or permanent resident status in both countries. You never know when a family medical emergency might lead to you moving to another country, and that’s not when you want to try to establish residency permission. Canada seems to require you to actually live there for more than half the year to apply for residency, so we haven’t done that for me, but since you will be living there you should be able to. I think you can also apply for a green card without immediate plans to live in the US (but double check that) so you may want to start that process sooner than later.

And to have an ETA.

I mean, I feel like I probably could drive myself the entire ~1200 miles/2000 km to my in-laws without using navigation, but it probably wouldn’t be the best route at a given time of day. I could easily be stuck in traffic because of a car wreck, construction, or just rush hour.

The way the model in the bottom right is staring back at him makes it the best picture

I felt like the difference was only obvious if the disk had gotten really bad in the first place, but maybe it was just psychological from seeing the colors move around.

Post as quoted in the article from the group’s X/Twitter account:

Gmemecoin,

We’re aware of the stunt that took place early this morning, when one of our community members entered the Punch enclosure at Ichikawa Zoo in Tokyo dressed in our mascot costume and carrying a teddy bear version of himself.

First and foremost, we are endlessly grateful for the cult we have built together and for a community that continues pushing boundaries and creating standalone virality out of thin air.

You’re built different.

That said, with our Season 1 Create to Earn campaign going live tonight, we want to remind everyone to respect local laws and never put yourselves, others, or any animals at risk.

Wild energy is part of the culture, but safety always comes first.

We have reviewed the footage from several angles, and we are happy to confirm that no monkey was touched or harmed during the stunt. From what we can tell, the sole intention was to give Punch a fresh new teddy bear to keep him company.

To the team at Ichikawa Zoo: please check your DMs. We would like to donate ¥1,000,000 toward improving the monkey enclosure and supporting the incredible work you do caring for these animals.

We hope you’re as hyped for Season 1 as we are.

Quoted tweet for context.

Memecoin Mode.

EDIT: ¥1,000,000 ≈ US$6,300 or €5,400

I haven’t made one in years. When I made my account it was back when you needed an invitation.

Maybe, although I think the ones we’ve encountered usually have a large doormat covering them

I wonder how much the new choice of CEO was up to the founder versus the venture capital investors. I’m assuming the investors had the main input.

• Google is reportedly testing a 5GB storage limit for new Gmail accounts, down from the standard 15GB.
• Users can “unlock” the full 15GB of free storage by adding a phone number to their account.

Seems they’re trying to get phone numbers this way. Maybe it’s for increased user data, maybe it’s to prevent fraudulent activity, maybe it’s to have more information to give authorities.

My dog hated elevators the first couple years we used them when we’d travel to see my in-laws. The floor is moving? She wanted nothing to do with that. Even now I’d say she only tolerates them.

She still hates the grates inside the entrances of Canadian hotels that I think are to help deal with melting snow. They tend to sink/bounce as you walk across them. She tries to go around or leap over them, or runs across them like they’re a platform in a video game that will fall if you stand on them too long.

To you as well!

Wawa Wiwa, although I can’t find their original post with it. Seems to be at least 6 years old.

I was just thinking about this a couple weeks ago!

When Nightmare-Eclipse released BlueHammer (CVE-2026-32201, 6.5) - patched by Microsoft in April - they were described as a disgruntled researcher who has since been rumored to be a former Microsoft employee.

According to their maiden blog post under the Chaotic Eclipse alias, the bug leak began after an alleged violation of trust. “I never wanted to reopen a blog and a new GitHub account to drop code,” they wrote. “But someone violated our agreement and left me homeless with nothing. They knew this will happen and they still stabbed me in the back anyways, this is their decision not mine.”

[VP of security intelligence at Forescout Rik] Ferguson described the exposure of YellowKey and GreenPlasma as the latest in an escalating, retaliatory campaign against Microsoft, and warned of more coming.

“The same post linking yesterday’s releases warns of another Patch Tuesday surprise and hints at future RCE disclosures. They claim to have a dead man’s switch with more ready to go. This researcher has followed through on every prior threat.”

Well this sounds much more interesting from a human perspective than the other article I read about the exploits!

I think the latter was the main reason. It sounded like his boss really had no idea what was going on or how to make things work. It was only the two of them at that station and they laid off the guy who was actually doing everything.

As in you think they were pressured into stopping development so people would switch over to BitLocker, which now appears to have a backdoor put in by Microsoft or at least one of the developers, presumably at the behest of a government?

I remember working at a TV station where I got caught in a round of layoffs. Most of us they told in advance, that our last day would be in six weeks, but they laid off an engineer at a smaller station and had him gone immediately. They also deleted his account that day, and that’s when they discovered he was running a lot of station processes through his own account. I think it took the corporate engineers a week to get everything back to a fully operational state.

Maybe the neighbors are using your house as their sacrificial wood!

How did you get into doing real estate photography? It seems like a decent gig. I used to work in TV but got out because of the hours when I got married and had a family. Now I’m in an unrelated field.
