Squibbles

@stavvers A few years ago there was a big push to locate the Franklin expedition that was lost while trying to find the northwest passage around Canada. Someone finally just got around to asking the indigenous people and they were like "oh, yeah there's a sunken ship just over there, you can see the mast sticking out of the water every year when the water's low"

@ifixcoinops@retro.social Lol got a bit of a jumpscare opening a tub of that on our visit to Scotland this spring, it was so unexpected to see that little demand after popping off the lid

@ZachWeinersmith all the more to give away to friends and neighbours:) I don't drink much either but want to try making bochet from honey we have laying around

@mogwai_poet@mastodon.social Reminds me of a popular overnight hiking spot in BC where apparently the porcupines have grown a taste for car tires so people were coming back after a hike and having flat tires. Now it's recommended to surround your car with chicken wire before leaving for your hike.

@ve4grm@dice.camp Nova Scotia here, depends what kind of stuff you are into I guess. Burntcoathead park is cool if you want to be impressed by the tides of fundy

@ve4grm@dice.camp Peggy's Cove is the Nova Scotia classic lighthouse on the rocks. Wolfville is a cute little town in the Annapolis Valley, it has a nice farmers market on Saturday mornings. NS has lots of little sights that don't take too long to individually with a bunch of driving in between

@mayo@social.oyam.ca @mogwai_poet@mastodon.social how lovely!

@pmbrandvold@techtoots.com if you don't want to do mortice and tenon for those corners you could do let braces like this https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/hardware/table-hardware/brackets-and-supports/41853-heavy-duty-leg-braces I've had Ikea tables that use a similar thing though they have a metal cylinder that drops into a hole in the corner piece for the bolt to thread into
