Just added two new Solitaire games to All-in-One Solitaire.
Only the HTML5 version is updated at the moment, but I will release updates for Android and iOS soon.
While Terrace Solitaire has been in my plans for some time already, one of the players asked to add Chinese Solitaire.
Let’s hope I’ve added the right version.
Have fun! 🙂
Alex Berenson, manipulation through omission
I was randomly surfing the Internet and stumbled upon a Substack by Alex Berenson.
It seems that Alex is a big opponent of COVID vaccines and vaccines in general.
I can’t argue about vaccines, as I’m not an expert on that topic . So my opinion is as good as everybody else’s.
To be completely truthful, I’m not an expert in anything. 🙂

Cascades Inc., over promise and under deliver
Cascades Inc. Logo
In March 2019, I purchased Cascades Inc. (TSX:CAS) stock for the first time.
Back then, I didn’t read financial reports and was just chasing yield or buying stock because I liked the company.
In general, I was doing lots of stupid things. 🙂
The company is quite well-known; you can see the Cascades logo in lots of places: on food packaging, in public bathrooms, on cardboard boxes and etc. That was a good enough reason for me to buy their shares.
So, I’ve purchased some at a price of $8.36.
Cascades Inc. is a Canadian company. All the prices are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified.

All-in-One Mahjong, extra 20 layouts
It’s been a long time since the last update of All-in-One Mahjong, so I have a fresh release with 20 new layouts and 6 extra backgrounds.
There are certain layouts that turn out pretty interesting, like the Phoenix in the screenshot above, despite the fact that adding new layouts is generally a boring and monotonous process.
I’m also planning to add a Memory Mode. It will be something like a mix of Mahjong and Memory game, where you have to first find the pairs of tiles and only then match them.
Let’s hope it will be interesting to play. 😀
Goodfood Market, it’s getting worse
A quick update on this money-losing machine since my initial post about Goodfood.
In Q3 2022, I expected Goodfood Market (TSX: FOOD) to have a smaller loss (compared to Q2) and lower revenue.
Smaller loss because they fired some staff.
Smaller revenue, because they are losing subscribers.
Revenue was ~C$67M, compared to ~C$73M in Q2, which is lower.
The loss was ~C$21M, compared to ~C$22M, which somehow stayed almost the same.
Canadian Real Estate and Interest Rates
Bank of Canada, yay!
July 13, 2022, another Bank of Canada meeting and a huge 1.0% (cool kids say 100 basis points) Interest Rate hike.
Four rate hikes, 2.25% in total so far, and it is still 2022 on my calendar!
Must be good for your Savings Account and bad for your Mortgage…

Беларусь -1%
В моём посте про корону в 2021 я решил проверить статистику населения Беларуси и оказалось, что численость населения уменьшается.
В 2020 году даже население Минска сократилось на 10к человек.
Что ж, а вот и статистика на 2022:
В 2021 году население островка стабильности, только официально, уменьшилось на ~94к!
С 9,349,645 человек до 9,255,524.
Население Минска в 2021 уменьшилось на ~13к, второй год подряд население Минска падает, хотя до этого всегда росло, бо все, кто хоть немного с мозгами, ехали в Минск.
Официальная статистика, конечно, привирает и наверняка не учитывает тысячи уехавших, которые как бы ещё в Беларуси, но уже нет.
Так что да, население Синеокой в 2021 году уменьшилось на 1%, а то и больше.
Conifex (oops, I did it again)
I’ve promised myself never to write about stocks I own, but here I am, breaking my own rules.

O Canada
I was thinking of going to Banff and Jasper National Parks many times, but each time I was postponing the visit and going somewhere else instead.
My thoughts were always the same, that they were here in Canada, so I could go anytime.
Finally, this “anytime” has come!
In a short 2 weeks vacation I was able to see breathtaking views of Banff and Jasper Parks, plus visit not too rainy Vancouver and Seattle along the way.
Here is a short video of me skipping a stone across Moraine Lake.
I think I had at least 5 bounces.
I could probably do better, but, you know, it was a bit windy and there were some ripples on the lake… 😀
Funny enough, only after watching the video in slow motion, I’ve realized that the stone was spinning!
Позiрк
Я не знаю, что в головах у этих людей, но с фантазией у них проблемы.
Где-то в далеком 2007, когда моему сайту pozirk.com было уже пару лет, появился pozirk.org, кучка змагаров, открыла бложик и строчила разгромные статьи, борясь с “крававым рэжымам” в интернете.
Пару лет спустя они закрылись, но осадок конечно остался, то есть гугл ещё долго помнил их и выдавал в результатах при поиске по слову “pozirk“.
Затем году так в 2012-2013 появился магазин контактных линз pozirk.by и опять всё это полезло в выдачу поисковиков.
Просуществовал магазин тоже не долго, а мне пришлось выкупать домен pozirk.by на аукционе, чтобы застолбить имя.
После этого я стал резервировать имя “pozirk” в каждой долбанной социальной сети, которая появлялась, намекая тем самым, что есть много других замечательных слов в белорусском языке.
Но не тут то было, и, сначала, в 2021 всплыла какая-то фото-студия Pozirk.studio.
А теперь в 2022 очередные змагары (журналисты с naviny.by) открыли pozirkonline.
Потому что, бля, кроме “позiрк” в белорусском языке других слов нет!

Golf Solitaire and Agnes Solitaire
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything about my games.
But finally I was able to add 2 more solitaires to All-in-One Solitaire game.
- Golf Solitaire – simple game with the same rules as Tri-Peaks Solitaire, the only difference is the layout.
- Agnes Solitaire on the other hand is quite a tricky game that has two variants.
Bernauer, new variant, has kind of similar rules to Klondike Solitaire and more or less easy to win.
But Sorel, old variant, has very strict rules and it is hard to win.
Button for Golf Solitaire was made by me, that’s why it is so ugly. Unfortunately, my graphic designer is disappearing, he sends me emails once a while, but not able to work so far. Let’s hope it’s transitory. 😀
I’ve also add several plain background images by request of one of the players. I think it’s a great idea.
Goodfood – bad business
Goodfood magnet as seen on my fridge
I’ve tried Goodfood meal kit once somewhere in 2018.
Food was good 😀 , no problems with delivery, but I cancelled my subscription right after my promotion period ended.
