  • Raspberries (and blackberries but those are thornier) grow rampant in most southern-mid parts of Canada and produce WAY more berries WAY easier than strawberries FWIW. I’ve never found strawberries to be worth the effort myself.

    If you have a balcony with room for a couple bucket sized planters you could ask around for a couple shoots this spring and have a decent supply all summer. Or if you have a small yard or more with space for a single planter bed you’d likely have unlimited summer raspberries (plus freezing) for very minimal effort. You can pick em all summer long



  • I’ve been all over the states, I’m not being naive at all; blue states are better than red, but still fucked compared to the rest of the world. Definitely not worth visiting and supporting with your dollary-doos cause red states get 36% (on avg) of their budget from federal tax money.

    There’s a million better places to travel to than the states folks.

    I swear to god if one more person says but muh grand canyon trip… its marketing folks. And there literally isnt enough drinking water (none outside the town) to support the residents let alone tourists. Visit Copper Canyon in Mexico instead and support their tourism industry. There’s even a train! El Chepe


  • You guys as a nation have broken the World’s trust. You were in a privileged position of trust after WW2 that you will never return to, whether trump leaves office or not.

    The World’s boycott on the states doesn’t end with trump, he’s merely a symptom.

    I know nobody in my circle of knowing in Canada is EVER travelling to, or spending money in/on the states ever again.

    Umm linseed oil is an oxidizing oil and therefore not a good choice (Edit: for anywhere lube is needed, it works great as rustproofing on bridges/machinery castings/anything that doesn’t move) since as you’ve found, it will ALWAYS harden… I think the boiling (chemical additive these days 99% of the time) just makes it harden faster/at colder temps?

    Ballistol Universal Oil is German or Austrian I think and works great in place of 3 in 1 and many more spots. Thousand and 1 uses, also great for sewing machine oil.

    Although it can be tricky to find everywhere, most sporting goods shops with a hunting section will have it, or Canadian Tire does. Comes in spray or liquid. Ask your local hardware store to start carrying it!


  • Actually I wasn’t advocating for shit. I was merely observing that this is the literal scenario you guys stated you needed your emotional support weapons for, and how I’m surprised no one is using them.

    Makes sense that they’re targeting less gun-prone areas, but still, there’s gotta be some percentage of carry-ers outside of NY no?

    I agree with (Edit:the commenter)Aussie though; I’ll post the full quote here so maybe even one more person sees it and internalizes it. Link to the Holocaust Encyclopedia

     First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
    
    Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
    
    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
    
    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
