And you literally just posted we were 10 days away so which is it? Anyways, still plenty of time for this to fall apart and you to dance on its grave. You might like the Gem actually. Not great..

He is full of it. I hope he had good time playing in 17°C at the border with his Ice Box.

Thursday’s warning shot was received loud and clear. Brought my snow blower in for a tune up while being inundated with positive splats. Hopefully next week isn’t filled with more warning shots. :cheerlead:

:lol: :lol: using the AF terminology might be a slippery slope. We use it in jest to mock them now, but sooner or later it enters our own lingo for real.

For example, the youth around me are all using the word "yeet" and I always refused to use it other than for ironic purposes, but last week it just slipped out and I was horrified with myself LOL
