Look for local craft or art shows. This can help you find local crafters that make some common items like socks, soaps, etc. Hand-knitted socks are the best.

Other than that, for more commercial things, watch labeling (as you already are), go to farmer’s markets, choose local grocer cooperatives (they’re more likely to carry locally produced goods), etc.

These aren’t bins of glowing green ooze like in the cartoons. Most waste products are solid and are stored in heavy duty, shielded bins. Kyle Hill on YouTube created a really good video that demonstrated walking through a storage facility and literally hugging one of the bins. His rad meter was perfectly normal the whole time. He also examines other risks as well as the risks of other methods of power generation.

Here’s the one where he hugs the waste casks:

I agree… But then all of the provincial premiers would whine about “muh jurisdiction!”

Look at what happened with Alberta and the recent changes to nationalized subsidies for certain common medications.

Our provincial governments are actively inhibiting the system from getting better.

Buncha Scrooges over there in Kingsville Apparently. Those massive restrictions on hours plus the requirement for a “permit” -cough-moneygrab-cough- are just ridiculous. I’d love for there to be a light show like that in my neighborhood.

My current rent: $1600 (no utilities included).
Tenant insurance: $300 (per year!).
Tenant total: $1625 per month.

Mortgage calculation: $1863 per month for a $300,000 mortgage with a 10% down payment.
Property tax: ~$300 per month.
House insurance: ~$150 per month.
Mortgage total: $2313 per month.

And that is not even including the costs of repairs on the house. In my city a $300,000 house will be in need of some major repairs.

I’d say I’m doing pretty good. I am saving that extra $700 per month myself and am in a lot better of a position than if I was paying that mortgage.

Wow… Our system is even more broken than I thought.

That’s crazy. Your Ontario health card is supposed to cover you for that 90 day span until you get the new Quebec card. Does Quebec not honor that system? (I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t have to since they seem to get special snowflake treatment around everything else)

Article blaming government involvement in project cost overruns and clearly intentionally ignores that private business projects overrun too, we just don’t see it because it’s private business. Biased. Blech.

Thanks, that’s good to know! It may have been around the 2.8 timeframe. But it definitely sounds like it’s gotten better. I’ll definitely be trying again.

I use it on Windows. Admittedly it launches better in Linux but it takes an age to launch in Windows. But yes, that was some time ago. Version 2.04 or something like that.

My question is: does it launch faster? I love GIMP for how powerful it is while still being free, but I hate how long it took to load. I was using less powerful alternatives on a regular basis just because I didn’t want to wait for GIMP to open.

• Cries in Saskatchewan. -

The Sask Party have somehow maintained control out here for 17 years… It’s sad but I don’t foresee it changing. Us and Alberta are the home of the “F Trudeau” crowd.

I will yet again cast my ballot against them in an effort that feels about as meaningful as pissing into the wind. But I’ll still do it.

Oh look, another cop being “punished” with a paid vacation.

Oh interesting, it’s basically tapestry crochet but with half-doubles instead of singles. No wonder the blocking opened up the stitches so much! Thank you for sharing!

It’s beautiful! What technique did you use for the color work? I don’t recognize it. I’ve done a lot of Mosaic crochet but this doesn’t look like mosaic to me.

What about those parents whose precious children can do no wrong and when part of “the village” tries to discipline them for acting out, or tries to rescue them because they ran willy-nilly into traffic, the parent freaks out and threatens to sue the “helper” for daring to touch/talk to/look at their child the wrong way.

If you want “the village” to help, don’t freak out on them and then whine that you’ve got no help.

I’ve been looking for a new launcher. Though this one isn’t selling itself with no screenshots. I don’t use telegram, so I don’t know if there’s screenshots in there.

Edit: They posted screenshots in the Google Play page. Found them.

I’m using Voyager and everything’s been good for me.

You would be far better off speaking to one of those debt consolidation places than trying to juggle it around like that. I’m not sure where you are located, but hopefully there is one that can help.

I mean… No jobs? I wouldn’t want to rent to someone who had no job either. That’s an insane risk. Even as a Canadian citizen who was born here I would not expect someone to rent to me if I had no job.
