Knows changes aren't permanent, but change is. Will stand on the ocean until I start sinking.
- I would be so happy to see Farage get Poilievred. Don't know who's the Carney, though.
- Not Carney, presumably.
- Xuěbì - Sprite Xuěbī - not Sprite I raised some eyebrows with this one at Yoshinoya back in the day 🤦

- wait wtf they got rid of the CIA World Factbook??? www.cia.gov/stories/stor...
- Main problem is that it's impractical to physically move it at all.
- Southwest Pacific would be ideal. Upside-down, not *too* close to Australia.
