When I travel, it's usually to the country's capital but then sometimes I meet citizens of this country in different circumstances and they say they've never been there. I'm not judging because some capitals are far away and expensive but I'm wondering...
#Ottawa is a bit of a weird capital I think#because it's less than half the population of Toronto or Vancouver#so despite being the Federal Capital it is quite a bit smaller#Also pretty much no one outside Canada seems to know it exists#Ask a non-Canadian what the Capital of Canada is and they're very likely to say Toronto#But it's a fun place to visit#And skating the canal is fun!#I have friends in Ottawa so I have a reason to visit which is probably skewing my answer

@usergif back to cool event: challenge 01 - blending
THE LORD OF THE RINGS - LAMENT FOR THE ROHIRRIM
ubi sunt (lit: “where are”) - 1. originating from a Latin phrase meaning “where are those who were before us?”; 2. a poetic motif meditating on the nature of transience and inevitability.

@othernaut @armageddon-is-light-after-dark
The worst thing I ever did at a D&D table was when our DM ran out of place name ideas and told us the name of the port town we needed to go to was "Bar Harbor".
So I tricked him into roleplaying the slightly-too-helpful town guard into giving us directions to- Well you see, the party has been out in the wilderness for like a MONTH, we're all a mess, the dwarf's beard is out of control, so can you tell us- Where can we find the Bar Harbor Barber?
But we were not done. We each took turns, like a pack of velociraptors.
We also had Dryad in the party and a few of her branches got broken in a fight and now her whole canopy is unbalanced and it looks awful, but she really needs to see a specialist, is there a Bar Harbor Arbor Barber?
The Paladin also wanted to look in on a small church he'd heard of, that the city had a patron saint, who was boiled alive in a cauldron of ale, so where is the temple of the Bar Harbor Larger Martyr?
It was around this point that Chris started to tire of this nonsense.
The bard, naturally, wanted to go carousing, and he'd heard this town had some of the most attentive and welcoming Ladies of the Night on the continent, known by thier brightly colored stocking bands, so had he seen any of the Bar harbor Ardor Parlor Farber Garters?
Chris immediately escalated to threats of a Total Party Kill.
Unfortunately, I'd had time to prepare and-
"What do you want?"
"I just wanted to know if you'd seen my cousin."
"...Your cousin?"
"Yeah, I know it's a long shot, but he's got a pretty distinctive appearence and you might have seen him around town."
"Oh No-"
"Okay so he's Welsh and the whole family used to be in the wagon-making business but he got into clothes manufacture until there was an accident with a lamp black dye and now he's permanently stained a sooty color and that really turns heads, so now he's got a job drawing in crowds for the city funded swap meet- no, not the Drow that also works there, I mean like the inside of a fireplace- anyway, he got tired of people mixing the two of them up so he started wearing this fancy armor with a magical +1 charisma bonus-"
"Gallus I swear to God I *WILL* Summon the Tarraqsue-"
"-So have you seen my cousin, Arthur Carter, former Sartor but now he's the Darker Harker for the Charter Barter of Bar Harbor, the one with the Charmer Armor?"
Amazingly, we survived the Tarrasque.
#/sobs in Dungeon Master/#because if you as a DM can't remember names (it doesn't matter if it's place names or NPC names)#your party -will- abuse this in one form or another.

As much as I would love this to be true, sadly, it's not.
The number quoted is the Canadian number for the Trans Lifeline (and definitely do call them if you need support, they do tell you to call for any reason!)

In case anyone finds it helpful because mobility aids are horrifically expensive and inaccessible…

And for those people who have access to mobility devices but might benefit from a second chair they can abuse without risking expensive damage…
Erik Kondo has made a website, Open Source Innovations, that details plans for DIY wheelchairs. These wheelchairs can be made from common materials like wood, plastic, and pvc. They are lightweight and can be custom fit to the user allowing from the same degree of movement you would get from a custom chair. And they are durable and easily repairable. (he has been stress testing his latest design by dropping it down stairs, dropping it out of a car, launching it across a driveway, and throwing it off a deck). Its 12lbs and I think he said its was in the $200 ish range for parts.
He also is working on cheap, open source, accessible designs for beach chairs, off road chairs, motorized attachments (think smart drive), and so on. Plus he skateboards in his wheelchair. Cool dude, helpful info, pass it on.

y'all it's about to get really fucking humid and hot
#/waves/ it's 35 C here in Southern Ontario and the humidity makes it feel like 43 C.#and we don't have air conditioning in our rental unit (most rental buildings don't have AC)#so I am sitting in front of many fans and drinking a lot of iced coffee.#I'm also keeping an eye on our two kitties since animals can struggle with the heat too.#So far I'm envious of the cats' ability to sleep comfortably in the bathtub. I think they've found the coolest spot in the apartment.

Update: Kitty is coming home!
I did not have 'spend 10 hours sorting emergency care for my cat' on my schedule today, but, that was my adventures today! We got bounced between three different clinics until we found one that could take him.
That said, it's looking like kitty -should- be fine, and if all goes well we get to pick him up on Saturday. But vet bills are going to be . . . interesting.

as a scientist i think that the debate around "does white people hair actually turn blond in the sun" should be put to a rigorous test where we control for all variables...like all these adults are going off confirmation bias and ingrained beliefs, so what we need to do is find a white person who has never been outside and put them in the sun for like, i dont know, 5 hours
#so when spent I summers in rural ontario#I lived with my grandparents and unless it was absolutely storming or pouring rain I was outside for most of the day#I came back to school and everyone was shocked at my hair because it had gotten bleached by the sun.#So it absolutely can happen but for me it was due to sun bleaching rather then an actual change in hair colour#because by about December the bleaching had faded#edit to add for clarity: my hair definitely lightened enough for people to comment but I didn't magically become very blonde.
