Oh, its supposed to be the Maple Leafs 100th birthday.

In other streaming news, Google are threatening to disable the YouTube app on Amazon devices. Neither side has come out of this looking good so far, but it's the customers who are being punished.

Amazon have just made the Firefox and Silk browsers available as apps for Fire TV. I loaded the Firefox browser, and its launch page has a YouTube link, which should get round the aforementioned unpleasantness.

You know those half used packs of Christmas cards you put somewhere safe so you could use them this year....yeah them...can't find them anywhere.

I bought a jar of pickled cabbage for Christmas day dinner, and left it safe at my ex's (where I was having dinner), on Christmas day, she admitted she had moved it from my safe place to her safe place, and forgot where she had put it. It turned up today. It wasn't a joke played on me, as no one else in the house likes the stuff.

I bought a jar of pickled garlic (mmmmm crunchy) a couple of weeks ago, so far there has been no problems as to its whereabouts

No it's not a record, records are round shiny bits of vinyl, with music usually on them

I got a bar of chocolate with stevia in it rather than sugar.  Actually very nice, but I'll make sure I have it only when there aren't any drug-dealing scientists around.

I'm arguing with some Metokur fanboy on YT and he's going round in circles. I've already nailed him on straw man, ad hominem, straight out lying and ALL CAPS. Then the moron replied and threw in a Doge meme as part of another ad hom. I told the f@@@er I'm 63 and even I know the Doge meme was stale af more than 5 years ago.

Just tell him "all of your base are belong to us"

Then he'll know you're up with the latest memes.

Sly. Good thing I checked that one before I used it.. Actually he came back and claimed he was being ironic. The go-to defence of the loser. I hope that guy doesn't find out that I regularly use Doge memes in the NRL Match Threads.

Then there's my Half-Time one

File this under "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished."

Electric cars will destroy Australia's roads. Such a high proportion of Australia's road building and maintenance budget comes from taxes and excise on fuel that by 2050, the predominance of electric cars will mean that our roads will all fall apart and there'll be no money to fix them.

but, but, won't we have them flying cars by then?

Until I can drive to the south of France in a day and being able to recharge my vehicle in the same time it takes to fill up wi diesel, I'll stick with the 60/gallon qashqai.

I think I found the duck motherlode of the internet. Twitch TV. I tried to sign up using Farmduck as user name. No, they already have farmduck, farm_duck, Faarmduck and Ffarmduck. So I tried Anas Platyrhynchos (which we all know is the scientific name of the common Mallard). Well, apparently lots of people really do already know that, including Twitch users Anasplatyrhynchos, Anas_platyrhynchos and Anasplatyrhynchos_gaming.

This means that my spiritual internet home may have been sitting out there all this time and I didn't know.  I'll go back and try Anas superciliosa, the Pacific Black Duck.
