Mattress upgrade sure to support camp romps

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: Help us. We simply can’t go camping again and have the kind of wild sex we want if we don’t make some changes.

Our cheap older air mattress rolled us both to the middle on our last trip — and not in a romantic way. And it squeaked for anybody nearby to hear. We need an upgrade. Any suggestions?

— Camping Lovers, Whiteshell

Dear Camping Lovers: Hybrid air and foam self-inflating camp mattresses are the way to go for you two. The best camping mattress for sex offers a supportive surface and minimal squeaking.

Even AI has to watch its diet

Editorial 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

Imagine going to your doctor and have that doctor tell you how much they like a new health app — but when you ask them whether their family likes it, the doctor says “Oh, I don’t trust it enough to let them use it.” Or having your general contractor extol the benefits of robotic construction workers — while bluntly saying he’d never use them to work on his home.

Well, enter AI.

For the last nine months or so, there have been recurring stories about AI companies buying up huge stockpiles of rare and out-of-print books, and “harvesting” — and destroying — the physical books to train their AI models.

Plenty of people questioned the stories, and went to Snopes to see if there was any truth to the claim.

Team says Allen recovering from nightclub assault

Joshua Frey-Sam 5 minute read Yesterday at 6:03 PM CDT

The Winnipeg Sea Bears are preparing for the Canadian Elite Basketball League playoffs without the services of its Most Valuable Player.

The club announced on Tuesday that star guard Teddy Allen has been ruled out for Thursday’s Western Conference semifinal against the Saskatoon Mamba at Canada Life Centre (7:30 p.m.) as he recovers from “significant health injuries” suffered after being assaulted by security staff at a downtown nightclub on Sunday.

“We continue to co-operate with the Winnipeg Police Service on its investigation and have referred them individuals and information based on what has been provided to us from those on the scene,” a statement from the club read.

“What we’ve seen and heard to date leads us to believe that Teddy was the victim of an assault at the hands of security at a downtown nightclub.”

Government overrides school board in ‘mature minor’ controversy

Maggie Macintosh 5 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 6:40 PM CDT

The Manitoba government has vetoed the Steinbach school board’s plan to override common law by making parents the ultimate authority on all student health issues.

Since Hanover School Division trustees approved a motion to disregard the category of “mature minors” just over two months ago, there has been widespread debate.

Trustees unanimously voted to stop honouring the mature minor doctrine — in which teenagers 16 and older are automatically assumed to have the maturity to make medical decisions for themselves — at the end of the 2025-26 school year.

“We would just encourage the Hanover School Division to do what they do best, which is providing high-level, quality education for the kids in their community,” Education Minister Tracy Schmidt said in an interview on Tuesday about her July 22 directive to the board to repeal its motion.

‘This is Mommy’s park’: city honours two-time Olympic champion curler Lawes

Zoe Pierce 4 minute read Yesterday at 1:21 PM CDT

When Kaitlyn Lawes drives through her childhood neighbourhood, she’ll now be able to point to a park bearing her name — and tell her daughters that anything is possible.

On Tuesday, the City of Winnipeg officially renamed Lindenwood Drive West Park in honour of the two-time Olympic gold medallist curler.

Lawes won her first Olympic gold medal in 2014 as part of Team Jennifer Jones at the Sochi Winter Olympics in Russia and captured a second gold medal in mixed doubles with John Morris at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea.

She has also won the 2018 World Women’s Curling Championship and the 2015 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, earned silver and bronze medals at the World Junior Curling Championships, and represented Manitoba at the Canada Games.
