@caseyliss @therett LOL. FWIW, I convert to dark icons in the evening as a subtle hint to think about putting my phone away.
Later in the night I convert to oh-my-god-ugly all dark blue icons as a not-even-close-to-subtle smack in the head to stop using my phone and go to sleep.
So... #utility
In any event, not a significant bug. Do what you can when you can.
Breaking: A new line of #jailstool merch now dropping. 100% or profit will be dumped back into #jailstool circulation. #utility 
The hoodie is kinda fire tbh. If you are in on #jailstool you owe it to yourself to rock these.
The management of this #NWT #utility needs to be fired for incompetence, lack of vision and lack of understanding of #climate realities. https://cabinradio.ca/215495/news/environment/land-water/ntpc-tries-to-overturn-ruling-on-drought-double-dipping/

You gotta admit it looks good in the morning light with its little trailer attached. 
I'm picking up a small shed from Home Depot today after work so the trailer got a workout.

And even when you do, you really notice the hit in efficiency when going >100.
