How did you come across this knowledge?

I’m very sad that story didn’t have a happy ending where they were both hit by a bus or got arrested in a drug sting.

I’m glad that was your old apartment friend.

While I agree we don’t know everything yet, it’s kind of infuriating to have one side -the side who has been responsible for what? 80% of political violence in the past decade,- immediately start calling for violence and retribution, while the other side says “you know, maybe the side spewing hateful rhetoric non-stop is partly responsible…”

I was listening to… CBC front burner podcast I think? And they mentioned that he has shifted his position on immigrants. He was quoted in the past saying any immigrant who graduated post secondary in the US should have a green card attached to the diploma.

Then some right wing nutjobs were mad about that and we’re targetting his events and harrassing him until he fell in line.

So yeah. He will change his mind, if he is bullies enough.

Also I think the group that were harassing his events was Nick Fuentas (spelling?) and now some of the coverage is indicating the shooter might have been a follower of Nick? I’m not sure how confirmed that is so do your own research.

But if it’s just right wing nutjobs killing slightly less to the right right wing nutjobs… Idk man.

Well now you are armed with that info for next time. I too have trouble standing up to misinformation. It’s a problem where I won’t just spout things I haven’t verified and can source, no matter how true I THINK it is. It’s baffling how others can just howl into the nothing about things they heard somewhere and are positive it’s true.

Last time I was sure of a point during one of those sorts of discussions it was amazing to see the deflation in the room. “What do you mean?”

I mean you guys are idiots, here’s where you can verify that. I didn’t say that because neither of them seem that far gone, they are the helpful idiots. And suddenly the whining about being a victim of a non existent problem quieted down.

Thank you for the short explainer.

Hopefully OP is genuine and will come back and see this and then tell his “friend” he is an idiot.

My dad’s and I both occasional partake in a specific ritual that goes as follows:

1. Crack open an ice cold Coke Zero (also works with coke. And probably other colas).

Take a few sips while you either pull fresh from the garden or out of the fridge:

2. Radishes

Wash them up. You can slice, quarter or leave whole.

Get snacking.

Enjoy your fresh, slightly spicy (or really spicy depending!) radishes with your cold bubbly coke.

3. Wait.

4. Burp

5. Transcend this mortal plane, bask in the glory of the radish and coke burps that follow.

But hunters are specifically trying to call them in to shoot them. This is more like catch and release fishing, you are just making the bird late for something…

So I spent the money on a NASA level bidet for that reason. Everyone I knew had been getting bidets and nobody would shut up about it, but they were all getting the $40 wands from Amazon. I couldn’t imagine my poor innocent pucker taking an icy blasting daily, so when we bought one we got the full toilet seat replacement with heated dryer, seat and water heater.

After about 6 months I decided to turn the water heater off to save the .78cents a month in electricity, because it really didn’t make a difference to me. The water is in the little hose and in the pipes of the house sitting and waiting for my butt for hours, it’s perfectly room temp. I’ve never had a situation where my partner uses it first and then I do and the warm water runs down, or any other situation that would create that perfect storm, so I won’t be buying one with a heater again…

The real life lesson I learned getting this bidet was because of the heated seat. You know the expression “you don’t know what you go til it’s gone”?

Well at first I noticed the welcoming warmth of the seat, and because the toilet is extra smart it “learns” when to expect me and my partner and preheats the seat to save energy.

But when I am off my routine, even just the weekends sometimes, I’ll go and take a seat: instant sad. It’s not freezing or anything, just unexpected enough and very mildly unpleasant. Something I never noticed before in my life (of luxury I guess, never had a bathroom so cold in my house that the change was shocking enough to register a memory.)

Now, every other toilet in the world is a very mild disappointment. This is a Greek tragedy in modern times.

And she is used to apologizing for idiots so she’d be able to alot in and rebuild international relationships.

Princess Caroline. She can make deals, is passionate about her work but also her family. She would make this country function and function well and she’d never stop till it was done.

I (mid 30s woman) am boss and I txtd one of my guys who isn’t around very often (he works a different shift basically, sometimes we overlap, usually we don’t)

“Hey 60 year old married man when you have a minute. Swing by my office, I’ve got something for you.”

I had a company gift to give him.

Auto complete decided the lips emoji was the best ending to my TXT. You know, the sexy red kissy lips.

I NEVER use that emoji. I never use emojis, when I told this story to other workers who I TXT regularly they were like “you yeah write out jazz hands or *sparkle emoji”

But my phone knew what that innocent TXT needed. Awkward, potentially work relationship ruining lips.

I gave a month’s notice at a job I was leaving. I was moving on, it wasn’t a shit job but I was ready to move up and they weren’t promoting me to the types of jobs I wanted. No hard feelings.

Until I have my month’s notice. I had been there 3 years and assumed we would take a week or so to hire someone, then I could train them on the job the last 2 weeks. It sure would have helped me when I started.

I wish I’d giving 3 days. They had no interest in including me in the new hire process (this is a small business, only 2 other people above me, owner and accountant) and basically it felt like they were waiting on me to leave so they could bring in their new pick.

Now I did end up working for that company in the position I wanted part time for a couple years after that, so I guess just not showing up would have been way worse, but I found that time period incredibly stressful and still don’t understand the motives.

Today I almost stepped on a batch of tiny baby grouse chicks. They must have hatched like 2 days ago they were so small and as they fled in terror of my Godzilla body they were barely staying on their feet just tumbling away frantically as mom called and hissed at me.

It took everything I had not to take a step and snatch up one of the slower ones. Such good camo too once they stopped peeping and running/rolling I couldn’t see any of them. Had to tip toe out of there for fear I’d step on one.

Best day.

Why lie? If you want a Lambo, just own it. “Yeah it’s pink, why? What colour is your Lambo?” Pepto magnet would still be hilarious.

If house cats were the size of a Rottweiler we wouldn’t allow them in our houses.

You can’t go wrong with any of them, and you can buy different blades. I just checked their lineup online and “gomboy” are about where your bush saws start. I’d grab a 190mm straight blade and buy a second blade. When you are out in the woods throw a pruning blade on it, when you are in the shop try and remember to swap it for a fine tooth blade.

The bigger you go, the less you’ll find it useful for woodworking, and the smaller, the less efficient for brush clearing. Curved blades are awesome for brush clearing and straight are my preference for woodworking.

Just head to the store and hold them in your hand, you’ll find one you like and you won’t regret the purchase.

Oh and personal grudge: don’t buy the “hunting” one, with the deer on it and the antler or bone coloured handle.

1. It’s the same picture but $10-20 more
2. You want a bright colour so if you set it down or drop it you have a hope in hell of finding it again.

Happy trails and happy woodworking.

I love my silkys. I am a carpenter and have the 6" in my pouch for everything from flooring to little trimmy jobs. And a big 12" in my truck for clearing brush like this when out on Crown land roads.

Yeah I can’t recall using a typewriter seriously, but for sure I’ve used on for fun. Also trying to get a commodore 64 to print my homework in 1992 should aub in nicely.

Unless spending more upfront reduces the debt overall in the medium or longer term.
