Wonder if that includes Uber eats?

This may be the Canadian in me, but my municipal dump literally has a spot for people to bring these (and other pressurized gas canisters) for safe handling and recycling

You can’t grow anything in the winter,

Globalization! And before that, preserves. Good thing is nothing spoils when the world is your fridge/freezer

don’t the pipes freeze and burst?

Water mains are buried deep enough that they don’t freeze. Tap water is noticeably colder.

Is it bad for the roads and bridges?

Yes. The cold isn’t, but freeze/thaw cycles are. Most asphalt roads needs to be resurfaced every 15 years or so

Do the homeless freeze to death?

Yes, but most cities have heated shelters around here where people can come when it gets too cold to sleep outdoors

The squirrels?

Northern mammals evolved to handle it

What about reptiles, snakes and lizards?

What are those?

It’s like the first Google result, but I’ve made a few different recipes and liked this one the best. The laminated butter layers really make a huge difference. (I only made the crust so can’t comment on the sauce recipe)

I was trying to say the cost savings of packing lunches is not absolute, and is dependent on the opportunity cost a person places on time spent at home cooking.

But I see now that you are just incapable of the critical thought necessary to deduce meaning beyond the concrete text placed in front of your eyes

you’re not going to convince me that eating out for lunch every single day is even remotely comparable in cost to half-decent meal prepping.

I’m trying to point out that the premise is flawed because you are assuming there is no opportunity cost associated with time spent meal prepping at home. If I make $50/hr at work and wish I had more free time at home, then it’s a wash, and I’m just as well off getting subway every day

You are missing the point, it’s not “4.5 hours a week of work” vs “absolutely nothing”, it’s 4.5 hours of work vs however long to have to work to pay for the ingredients, plus the time to make the food. If I spend an hour meal prepping and it takes me an hour and a half to pay for the ingredients, eating out at lunch only costs me 2 additional hours of my time, not 4.5

I also don’t know what meal you are preparing where chopping veggies, searing meat, packaging and cleaning up afterwards only takes 20 minutes. Even making chili, which is the prototypical “throw everything in a pot” recipe takes me north of an hour when all is said and done

And meal prepping is 2 hours of your week every week, plus however long you have to work to pay for the ingredients, which is probably another 2 hours

Some people like the taste and don’t mind paying for the convenience - full stop.

Also the vegetarian option at most fast food places is generally more expensive and worse tasting

Sounds pretty woke to me

Especially because it’s to a newbie, who stands to benefit the most from using an OS with more user share and more available online resources.

You can leave it attached to the end of your headphone wire

If the latter is a concern, there are adapters that allow this as well, which, you can also leave attached to the end of your charging cord

be wealthy enough to afford a product that sounds almost as good as the wired version does for ten times the price

Or maybe just go buy a $5 adapter so you can use your wired headphones

You have airpod pros but spending $5 USB-Aux adapter is where you draw the line?

Like once a month we have a fake site pop up using the name of our business with 1-2 characters changed. They use a web crawler to scrape all the content off our domain and they re-host all of our products on a woocommerce site where they steal our customers credit card information.

These all use cloudflare to conceal the hosting providers, who are entirely non-responsive without a police report or WIPO ruling. When all is said and done, the content is being hosted in China, Russia, or South Africa, meaning the only way to remove the content is from the registrar’s, because they are the only link in the chain that actually has to comply

The local Loblaws near me (the Canadian devil chain) set theirs up with like a 5% weight tolerance, so if you put something down too fast? Sensors go off. Bag it then put it on the scale? Sensors go off. Manufacturer put too many chips in your package? Sensors go off.

I don’t shop there anymore

I’m thought @[email protected] was being sarcastic, but lo and behold, people actually consider 33g of sugar per serving “unsweetened”

If you order an iced tea in Canada you are getting Nestea/Brisk like 95% of the time. Both are sweet teas, but are marketed and labelled as “Iced Tea”, not “Sweet Tea” - ask our American beverage overlords Coke/Pepsi why

If you are in a cafe, or some other place where the expectation is that they brew their own, then yes, it’s generally unsweetened - but it’s also usually explicitly labelled as such on the menu so you know whether you are getting brewed tea vs a glass of corn syrup

I’ve definitely ordered one when I was down south, poured 2/3rds out, and topped it up with water, and it was still comparable to nestea

It’s sweet tea in the United States.

In Canada “Iced Tea” means “sweet tea” most of the time
