      I hope it won&amp;#39;t be lost in all the excitement and hype of today&amp;#39;s big 50th Anniversary Celebration (of the Rush album &amp;#39;2112&amp;#39;), but a guy from my home town, London, Ontario, Canada, is heading to the moon tonight.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It&amp;#39;s a good day to wear this shirt!&lt;br/&gt;(Kind of amazing it still fits.)&lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://m.f-h.co/cosocial-ca/media_attachments/files/116/330/439/508/578/044/original/2becb997ae192e87.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt;

      TIL: For any prime number p &amp;gt;= 5, p²-1 is divisible by 24. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;That&amp;#39;s cool. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Isn&amp;#39;t it?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Yes it is.

      One reason Norway does so well at the Winter Olympics is that their flag contains the flags of six other countries, which confuses the scoring system.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.futilitycloset.com/2012/02/17/united-nations-2/&#34;&gt;https://www.futilitycloset.com/2012/02/17/united-nations-2/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://m.f-h.co/cosocial-ca/media_attachments/files/116/086/958/579/692/803/original/d5c85160a7096669.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt;

    <content type="html">
      CBC commentator in bobsled just mentioned the vast technological gulf between richer and poorer countries. One Canadian team is renting a sled from Romania.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Maybe that&amp;#39;s another scoring metric.  Where&amp;#39;d your sled come from?  Where&amp;#39;d you learn? You, Australian bobsledder, come on, you didn&amp;#39;t learn bobsledding in Australia, did you?

A Greatest Hits of Handel&amp;#39;s Messiah concert could be over in 35 minutes.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;(I would have them do &amp;#34;And The Glory of the Lord&amp;#34; two or three times, that&amp;#39;s a good one.)

      off to a performance of Handel&amp;#39;s Messiah this afternoon, which is always sort of an endurance contest as you have to make it through a whole bunch of solos before you get to the big choruses you actually like.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;(we are merely in the audience but it will be hard for some of us to resist quietly singing along with certain parts.)

Also the HVAC tech made about 14 trips up and down the stairs to the basement furnace before it was all working.  Sometimes it&amp;#39;s worth hiring a pro.

    <content type="html">
      Protip: Go back in time and do NOT buy a Lennox furnace with their totally proprietary and non-standard 10F81 iComfort Wifi Thermostat, because when the thermostat&amp;#39;s screen dies - and it will - you won&amp;#39;t be able to replace it with an ordinary thermostat.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It uses some magic protocol over the wires to talk to the furnace, and you can&amp;#39;t just drop in an Ecobee or a Nest or whatever.  And  the Lennox dealer wants $1100 &#43; HST for a replacement.

      i got my ember bluetooth heater coffee mug out for the first time in a while, and the app now wants me to create an account - and the idea that i have to log in to my coffee cup is bothering me.

      Tip: If you use DuckDuckGo as your default search engine, you&amp;#39;ll like &amp;#34;bangs&amp;#34;, which are short codes starting with ! that you insert in the search. It&amp;#39;ll redirect to search somewhere else instead of DDG.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Right in Safari’s search bar you can add &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;!a –  to search Amazon&lt;br/&gt;!g – to search Google instead just this once&lt;br/&gt;!amaps –  to search Apple Maps&lt;br/&gt;!qr – to create a QR Code from the search text&lt;br/&gt;!w – to search Wikipedia&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;and MANY more. Thousands of possibilities. Try some.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://duckduckgo.com/bangs&#34;&gt;https://duckduckgo.com/bangs&lt;/a&gt;

      In reply to &lt;a href=&#39;/nevent1qqsxls9kd8u7plt7fe6nzjlkjzpkl22q5jjlmycxatwu2hfap8enrqc6rfccv&#39;&gt;nevent1q…fccv&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;_________________________&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Fentanyl, huh. I did not know that, but next time I&amp;#39;ll ask.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;White wine is a useful tip, thank you.  Whoever put the &amp;#39;Fruit flavour&amp;#39; label on the PegLyte bottle is having a good laugh.  Whatever ‘fruit&amp;#39; that is the flavour of, I never want to find out.

      A message to young people like myself: look, don&amp;#39;t put off getting a colonoscopy. It&amp;#39;s easy, not painful or uncomfortable at all -  maybe a little embarrassing but think of the fun you&amp;#39;ll have telling everybody about it afterwards at the dinner table.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;as Dave Barry wrote, there are two possible outcomes: either they find nothing, which is great, or they find something and can do something about it, which is also great. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;(Mine went fine, thanks for asking, I&amp;#39;ll spare you the details.)
