Happy Patrick's day from Ireland. Call it Patty's day and I'll cough on you.

This is one of those really useful songs that Doug can't use on his own. "Safe and Sound", by Capital Cities, from the album "In A Tidal Wave of Mystery"

lyrics


If Doug plays it alone, it fizzles - "We're safe and sound", not "I'm safe and sound". But when there's somebody beside him (I suspect he'd prefer Maggie, or Makoto, or in a pinch Eimi, because of the line "I could show you love"), then together they get near-perfect protection from physical and social attacks. And they can't be separated - "In a tidal wave of mystery / You'll still be standing next to me"

They also can't be moved against their will - "Hold your ground / We're safe and sound". However, if the person Doug is with wants to be someplace else, they both go there. (Doug doesn't have a say in that.)

Doug also gets an uptick to his luck, at the expense of the person he's with getting a downtick to his or her luck.

The person Doug is with is in the driver's seat for the rest of the effects, which are variable within some limits: "I could lift you up / I could show you what you wanna see / And take you where you wanna be / ... / I could fill your cup / You know my river won't evaporate"

Just upgraded FireFox to 74 (I never upgrade on day of release), and the forum lost its formatting. No other site was affected.

The fix was to clear my cache and let the CSS file reload.

No action required on Bob's part - this is just a "known error with fix" post.

I just noticed that the board is still showing Eastern Standard Time if you aren't logged in.

For them as is interested.  Starts with a couple shows in Australia, ends with one show in Toronto, and wanders around the United States for about two months in between.

No, this isn't about a name change.

Canadian federal government prepares to introduce nationwide conversion therapy ban

It'll be in the Criminal Code, not civil law.

My only question on this is "What took them so long?"

Quote:"Evidence demonstrates that this is a practice that does not work," said Minister of Diversity, Inclusion and Youth Bardish Chagger. "It's destructive, it's harmful and it should not exist."

During the 2019 federal election, the Liberal Party committed to bringing forward the changes in its platform, noting that the practice is "scientifically discredited."

No, that wasn't a question.

JUst thought to drop all a post since I was so tied up in pre trip stuff, including having to un bugger my laptop the night before didn't really have time to post or anything.

Now, on to Cape Canaveral and Disneyworld

Sunday, March 8, is International Women's Day.

This year, in much but not all of North America, it's also the day we shift to Daylight Savings Time.

Which means that, in these places, this year women get approximately 4.2% less commemoration than other identifiable groups do.

(Actually, it isn't accurate. The gender gap is usually much wider than that.)
