This new annual thread has been carved out of the previous thread in an effort to reduce the number of megathreads on the AC forum. For those interested previous versions are the original 2004 - 2014 thread , 2015 edition, 2016 edition , 2017 edition and 2018 edition.
The original thread started by accident but quickly became a popular place to come and discuss off topic things such as hockey, new movies, or almost anything that wouldn't fit into existing AC forum threads. Air Canada or Aeroplan topics such as flight feedback, in-flight services issues, status or mileage earning/redemption are all topics that should go into existing AC forum threads so others can benefit from this information. Topics about hotels or airlines and/or their loyalty programs, destinations, in-flight travel tech. or anything best discussed elsewhere on FT may be relocated to that forum as this thread isn't meant to import travel topics to this forum that are better discussed on other forums. FT is an amazingly diverse and large community so members are encouraged to seek out all of its resources.
While the conversation is more relaxed as it would be in a lounge that doesn't mean however that the FT rules don't apply here as they definitely do so please refrain from controversial topics such as politics or religion, avoid profanities and treat other lounge patrons with the same respect you expect.

Has the Stanley Cup final started yet? Nope, there's a 29-day break designed to allow Americans to forget the NHL playoffs are still on.

Humans, of the great chef variety can do this well (with varying degrees, I’ve sent back a steak at a steakhouse before because medium doesn’t mean charcoal, and no it wasn’t medium the 2nd attempt bit it was more than edible, and I digress). Can a robot match this and do it consistently? Likely yes, but are we there yet I’m not so sure.

Why not? A robot with thermal imaging should do just fine...

Heading somewhere on Rouge
the mainline subterfuge
nomad and @24left they go
no mattress pads to blow
they'll be no trip report
but you can be a good sport
with more poems to assess
where are they going, can you guess?
