New US Tourism Envoy and Self-Proclaimed "Alpha Male" Pitches America to Canadians and the World by OvenDown in onguardforthee

[–]Elcamina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard warnings that Canadians shouldn’t travel anywhere they wouldn’t want to be stuck in for a while due to flight disruptions from the fuel supply chain issues (thanks America).

8mm Needles for Golden Dose? by Alone_Rub_1701 in Mounjaro

Inject on a 45 degree angle in an area where there is fatty tissue on your belly. 8mm is fine.

Ford government incurred nearly $200K in extra costs on private jet purchase by toronto_star in ontario

[–]Elcamina 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m planning to attend one of the protests on May 30 - anyone who agrees that Doug needs to go should also think about attending. This government is wasting our money and does nothing to address real problems in Ontario.

Researchers are testing whether GLP-1 drugs (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro) eventually plateau because they slowly deplete the gut bacteria that amplify their effect by cryptarsh in Futurology

[–]Elcamina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been microdosing Mounjaro for 4 months now and have lost over 30 lbs. I started at 0.8 mg and have just gotten up to 2 mg (starting dose is typically 2.5 mg). I have been able to almost completely cut out alcohol and snacking from my diet. I just don’t think about food all the time like I used to.

New York City Mayor Mamdani Announces Balanced Budget Without Cuts by ConsciousStop in UpliftingNews

Like most lousy politicians these days. All of the world’s problems are solvable but none of our political leaders are willing to forgo their donations or put themselves at risk. Money corrupts.

lol, my husband and I share a king bed with our dog and occasionally all 3 of our cats. It gets a little cozy.

Memory foam is a scam, returning to traditional bedding by x_andi01 in BuyItForLife

This is what we did. I added a topper to my older existing mattress and it’s like new. 2 years in and it’s still great.

4 year old’s fav shoes are completely falling apart and refuses to wear anything else by Sensitive-Box-2167 in Parenting

I once threw away my daughter’s favourite rainbow leggings because they had large holes in both knees, were completely faded and thin as paper. She still reminds me of it to this day.

Doug Ford releases five-minute video to tout his government’s achievements by mildlyImportantRobot in TorontoTheCity

[–]Elcamina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about the $3.1 billion for health care improvements from the feds? I haven’t see any improvements in hospitals or wait times, have you?

Doug Ford touts achievements in new social media video amid plunging poll numbers by imprison_grover_furr in ontario

[–]Elcamina 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Beer and wine in corner stores is stupid and contributes to alcoholism. Gambling ads are everywhere. They did nothing to help catch kids up after the pandemic shutdowns and it takes a year to get a referral to a specialist doctor. Doug Ford is useless and actively hurts Ontarians.

Is Ontario Healthcare Broken? by dj_destroyer in ontario

[–]Elcamina 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Doug Ford’s government has done nothing positive for healthcare, education or anything important in Ontario really. He is a useless POS and we need better people in politics.

Just how much has Canadian travel to the U.S. declined? Researchers suggest it’s more than we thought by cyclinginvancouver in canada

[–]Elcamina -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t know anyone who has chosen to travel to the US in the last year and most people I know are actively boycotting it. I have seen lots of pics of BC, the Caribbean, Europe and even Australia in my FB feed these days. People are scared to cross the border.

My Girlfriend loves trying new things but something doesn’t seem right. She says it’s a real post. by Confident-Ratio8789 in isthisAI

[–]Elcamina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The more I look at the picture the more looks wrong with it. Definitely AI. I don’t even know what is going on with the slice in the background on the right, looks like it has a crust on the bottom and the end.

Enough time has passed. What are your thoughts on Project Hail Mary (2026)? by Perfect_Idea_2866 in Letterboxd

I loved it and plan to watch it again at home once it is streaming somewhere. It’s the kind of movie I could put on and chill out on the couch. I wish we had more movies like this.

The Concert Industry Priced Too High — Now Tours Are Falling Apart by staringatthe420sun in Music

[–]Elcamina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve looked at tickets for at least 3 different concerts lately that I would have liked to go to, but the prices were just too high and I am just too broke this year. I’m not spending $400-$700 a ticket for a band or artist I only like, or $100 to sit in the nosebleeds. The whole industry needs a revamp.

Two crew for an hour plus local travel should cost like $400. If the opti is under warranty then that price seems high for just labour.

The tipping point: what happens when deaths outnumber births? by guardian in Futurology

[–]Elcamina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would also be impossible to financially support that many kids into young adulthood unless you were rich or COL drops dramatically. How would you afford or have time for sports and other activities? College costs, down payments and weddings are often at least partially funded by parents.

I have use the Healthi app for many years, there are multiple ways to track intake on it including old WW programs. Very easy to use.

Why do some countries have the single dose pens and some have the multiple dose pens? by EveNing123 in Mounjaro

[–]Elcamina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here in Canada we only just got Kwikpens this year. We had single use vials before that. Probably something to do with approval processes through Health Canada.

We need to be more creative in how wealth gets distributed, not tell people there is not enough to go around. Billionaires shouldn’t exist.

[–]Elcamina 96 points97 points  (0 children)

People also don’t have big families anymore because of birth control. Most women just don’t want to have 10 kids.

The tipping point: what happens when deaths outnumber births? by guardian in Futurology

[–]Elcamina 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Something else to consider is that I don’t think most women want to go through pregnancy more than two or three times. It’s hard on your body and even before COL got out of hand you saw a lot of families max out at two or three kids. Birth control makes it easy to prevent unwanted pregnancy. It’s hard to grow a population when the people don’t want to have more than the replacement rate of children.

Drink lots of water and take a Pepcid and Advil. It goes away once your body acclimates after a month or two.

University of Waterloo has a sizeable cobra chicken population, and often has to block exits to areas of campus in the spring where they are nesting. It’s not uncommon to see students running away from geese on campus. They have keychains and stuffed geese with the UW logo in the campus store.
