Good morning, why does this only go up to five beans?
Good morning, remember that Google Art thing?
Good morning, put your right hand in the box.
Good morning! Here is a photo I took of an Amsterdam canal with a pinhole camera.
Good morning, please enjoy this photo of my son.
Good morning, I hope that Keith Haring would endorse my fridge magnet placement.
Good morning, my talk yesterday went well. Photo from @Michelle_Heng@twitter.com
Good morning, I've hung up some house plants in my bathroom.
(in case you're wondering who John K Samson is and why he's important to me, check out the following link about his band, The Weakerthans)
good morning, I found someone else with a lens diagram tattoo last week
Good morning, here is a wood stove-top hotdog cooker that my grandfather made [lewd]
good morning, this was attached to my new tv β it will never cease to delight me how america hedges its bets that quebec might be its own country someday
it will also never cease to amaze me how the same concepts expressed in english take twice as much text to express in french. it's a beautiful language but it's quite verbose and complicated don't @ me 
I took french immersion in school so I ostensibly can speak french, but only canadian french, and not even the good canadian french (je viens de l'acadie, look it up, d'ac) plus the school never focused on proper pronunciation, so I sound awful. I've tried conversing in french in four french-speaking countries and in most cases, people just switch to english :\ it feels awful so I don't really bother trying anymore
but at least I can read french toots, so it's not all bad π€
if you're into languages, check out chiac, which is like english syntax with french linguistic structures: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiac
actually this reminds me a lot of the french I see on mastodon...
the wikipedia page for chiac is pretty horny β now this *really* sounds like the french I see on mastodon
Good morning! We unpacked our final box from the move, containing this card from my wife. Good memories.
@ashfurrow Do it for Virtute. πΊ
@LeftCoast sometimes when I play the cat songs on guitar too much my wife tells me to stop because they make her too sad.
@ashfurrow JKS really needs to get in the studio more often. I think he's only released one album since The Weakerthans broke up. That kind of talent needs to be shared with the world!
@LeftCoast heβs got two solo albums, Provincial and Winter Wheat. Both are great, but I would like another more often than every five years :wink:
@ashfurrow Wow, how rare is that?
@adelheid not _super_ rare, Iβve only met one other person though!
@ashfurrow Awesome. Please tell me that is true.
@sirshannon itβs 100% true, he makes all kinds of things. Picnic tables, lawn furniture, drink holders that look like birds...
@ashfurrow That is so cool.
@ashfurrow
Very nice!ππ
@ashfurrow Makes outstanding hot dogs!
@ashfurrow
A very good point.... π
@elomatreb haha yeah, I was building iOS apps back when the phone screen sizes were really small and German would _always_ cause problems. There's no where for the lines to break!
@ashfurrow hey, a lot of times I'm sure they were switching to english to practice with a native speaker!
And I'm also sure that many of them were appreciative of you making an effort to speak their language! π
@ashfurrow They tried to teach me french back in Alberta, I dropped out as fast as I could. Kinda wish I didn't until I read this haha. I'll probably be sticking to English and Bad English.
@trevdev Alberta would be a pretty difficult place to learn, yeah!
@ashfurrow Yeah, my little Canadian-French osmosis as a child and a year in school means I can suss out most short posts, recognize most insults, or talk to a dog, but French-speakers think I'm an idiot. I mean, more than usual.
@ashfurrow I got a minor in French and did really well on whatever that French test that they give out to seniors in US high school is
I still can't comprehend most real-world spoken French (Canadian is a bit better, but not by much)
@ashfurrow it's ok, half the letters aren't pronounced!
@robey but which half?!?!?
@ashfurrow Just discovered this is a whole good morning thread. Prepare for notifications.
@ashfurrow There goes the neighborhood.
@ashfurrow They're probably not rabid. Probably.
@ashfurrow Oh, jeez.
Grew up in an area where raccoons regularly broke into our house. Hate the little cute buggers.
@ashfurrow Good morning!
@ashfurrow PourquoiΒ je me trouve dans cette cage β½ Il faut que j'en Γ©chappe tout de suiteΒ ! π
@dasyatidprime c'est New York babey!
@ashfurrow Are you poking around or is my internet being slow?
@ashfurrow good morning, NY people, you still have half of the weekend before you! Here's my advice: stay at home if you feel like it, it may be awesome
@charlag I will take you up on this idea!
@ashfurrow what a cutie
@ashfurrow Morning! btw have you tried whonix before?
@whonix I have not β I suppose I should look into it further.
@ashfurrow would really love that π
@ashfurrow I'm waiting for my team. That made me laugh. Thanks :)
