We usually do 5 years but the contract was to good.
I also steam a good ham

No, but I hear the people at Vegas Vacations are doing a bang up job with seniors and their vacation planning. Perhaps they can offer some guidance  | |

Nanaimo is so lit, we went VIMC - > Beban Park no wait tennis/pickleball - > Backyard at home with hottub + ocean view
Life's great.

Working in an open office area where everyone is on a call and talking out loud makes it harder to filter out voices. Even with voice recognition and all kinds of patterns enabled, it can only do so much. 
Also, lol @ Numbeo.

So Linus from Linus tech tips is going on Jimmy Fallon again. One prediction market has bets on what he will say. Linus could bet on himself and make a pile of money. This pic was posted on his subreddit something he looks at.
