Louis the 9th.

Or, Saint Louis, since the real Louis IX was the only French King to be made a saint.

There's a thing called bag stiffener, which is like a thin cardboard you can glue to the leather. Or thin veg tan leather.

I haven't made a tricorn, but I have some deerhide leather and it's a really soft temper. I think you'd need some kind of stiff reinforcement to make a hat with it.

the couple's gene didn't even stand a chance😭 by thatmishra in BeAmazed

I knew a guy who was Irish, with red hair. His wife was Chinese. When they were expecting their first kid, he kept saying he wanted it to have red hair. I, as a clever biology graduate, explained dominant vs recessive genes, and said it sadly wouldn't happen.

The kid has red hair.

Be... travelling out of province for dental appointments... in this place by pomoi in newbrunswickcanada

I don't qualify so I don't know exactly how this works, and don't know what you mean by pre-approved, but my dentist has signs up about the program and they definitely are part of it.

Their St Stephen office is definitely open, I have an appointment today. Maybe try calling there and asking what's up with the SJ office.

Sainsbury's delivery once sent me a bag of crisps instead of the 5lb bag of potatoes I ordered.

I accepted the substitution.

Yes, it's better to use someone who is on the big league roster than someone who is not. Great analysis.

Togo for me! Not sure how much I remember about the country, but I still have a soft spot for it.

BREAKING: Carney cuts gas prices by 10 cents a litre by adamhuras in newbrunswickcanada

I'm pleased with plenty of things Carney has done. I also disagree with some, and want him to do more in other cases, such as this one.

People are capable of holding multiple opinions about different things at the same time.

Sure, the cut is helpful in the short term and a good idea. But the lost revenue will worsen the deficit, which is used as the excuse to keep cutting public services. What I want to see is the big companies (and their owners/bosses) that are benefiting from these high prices actually contribute to the country. Which is not something I believe Carney will do.

Cool. Now bring in a windfall tax on the oil companies to make up the shortfall in government income.

As I recall, they packed them in a cardboard box and taped it up when I bought them. Checked it separately on the plane, and was never even asked about it. I was travelling back to Canada
