British person, now in Canada. I teach applied statistics with #rstats at U of Toronto Scarborough. Otherwise, follow soccer and rugby league, ride transit, walk. Grew up in UK with 80s pop.
The big picture is of a train at Paignton station, the little one is of a park bench near me in a Canadian winter.

@scribblanitea "There will be at least two fans in the stadium". Yeah.
Mr and Mrs Jennings from Milton Keynes spent their entire life savings on a trip to Mexico, expecting to be part of a huge occasion. Said Mr Jennings, 42, "I was expecting there to be more than just us here in this giant stadium, but now that we're here, we're determined to make the most of it", donning a knotted handkerchief on his head.

@sundogplanets my father would have approved of your potato hills. (He grew not *quite* as many potatoes as that in our back yard.)

@gutenberg_org even in those days, apparently a mathematician was a machine for turning coffee into theorems.

@dillyd sleep well.
(sees "1 hour ago" and changes that to "I hope you are sleeping well")

@StefanThinks if you are in North America, sure. Otherwise, "kit" also means "a set of clothes for an athletic activity"; UK children are told to bring their "football kit" or "rugby kit" if it is outdoor-sports day at school.

@scuttlebutt @lerven @SyHoekstra around here you can get 1 or 2 litres in an (expensive) carton, but not 4 litres.

@SyHoekstra @lerven curiously, a uniquely *Eastern Canadian* kitchen item. When I lived in Vancouver, milk came in giant plastic jugs with a screw cap.
Replying to @lerven@tweesecake.social
@lerven @SyHoekstra as described. You can get special milk bag clippers with a sharp blade and a magnet on the back you keep on the fridge door, or you can just cut the corner with scissors.

@lydiaschoch maybe it's the heat? My building is down one elevator out of three, which makes a surprising difference.
@ai6yr or in Philadelphia for the World Cup game.
@gnomon that's the name of one of the computers on my network.
