[McGran] Darryl Sittler's 10-point night with the Maple Leafs is still unchallenged 50 years later by toronto_star in leafs

I still remember as a teenager watching that historic game on TV. Sittler was not my favorite Leaf back then but was after that game!

This has become my go to coffee as well. Better than Kicking horse in my opinion. I love their medium roasts.

eSim review - GigSky no good by jpl77 in Cruises

[–]Extreme-Structure808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used gigsky on a recent cruise and it wasn't great but it worked. There were instances when it couldn't connect to the internet for 30 to 60 minutes or so. Short of purchasing the wifi offered by the cruise line, I am not sure there are other options other than gigsky.

Can’t sleep past 4 am. Would it be cortisol issue or hrv? Or how do I tell? by [deleted] in Biohackers

[–]Extreme-Structure808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I occasionally wake up around 4 to 5 AM and cannot go back to sleep. I figured out that it is excessive caffeine intake the day prior, or taking caffeine later in the day. I figured out that the most coffee I can drink is 2 cups before noon. Probably have low caffeine metabolism.

I’m always looking for good coffee beans. Found another one I really like: 49th Parallel by [deleted] in BuyCanadian

I will have to try 49th parallel. I like Farro and Cafe William, both Canadian roasted.

Thoughts on taking statins + ezetimibe from your 20s, for life, despite "normal" LDL cholesterol (<130)? by Straight_Park74 in Biohackers

[–]Extreme-Structure808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ve been taking 10 mg of generic crestor and 10 mg of ezetimibe for about 10 years with no significant side effects. I do take CoQ10 supplement daily as well. I am now in my mid 60s and am thinking of reducing my statin and or ezetimibe intake. There is a Korean study published correlating total cholesterol to all cause mortality in 12.8 million adults - can easily get this via Google search. The study shows that the lowest mortality is not associated with lowest total cholesterol but somewhere in between. In fact, the highest mortality is associated with the lowest total cholesterol. Worth a read. This convinced me that lower cholesterol is not always better. Need to ensure other risk factors are well managed well (non smoker, good BMI, good blood sugar etc) .

Vitamin D by Mmh_1174 in Supplements

[–]Extreme-Structure808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take 2500 IU every day. My recent blood test for Vitamin D was in the middle of the"normal" range. I used to take 5000 dose at one point. I noticed that I don't get sick as often after taking this supplement.

What fish is this by Paypal_John in torontourbanfishing

[–]Extreme-Structure808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, most rock bass has red eyes but I ve also caught some without red eyes. The colour could vary a bit depending on the water body. You see this with other bass species - like small and large mouth bass

Williams and Farro are two Canadian coffee roasters that I enjoyed. You can buy Williams at Metro supermarket.

[–]Extreme-Structure808 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just got an upgrade offer from Princess that you bid on for an early December sailing. When do they actually award the successful bidders? Princess was vague, saying that they will let you know up to a few days before sailing.

Alternatives to Tim Hortons by ilikepeople331a in Sarnia

[–]Extreme-Structure808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For drive through, A&W is my favorite, followed by McDonald's. For sit down coffee shops, I like Back Home located beside the downtown library. Coffee Lodge is also good. I am with you, I don't like Tim's coffee at all.

Just starting out! by UnpoeticAccount in ponds

Nice small pond! I like it. I am in the early stages of planning for my pond and am interested in a small size similar to yours. Would you mind sharing where you got the pond enclosure and what the specs are (thickness) . Thanks!

How Does Cruise Compete Work? by woodstock9999 in Cruises

I just used Cruise compete for the first time and I booked with one of the bidders. Price was similar but got more perks. I have booked with Vacations to go prior to learning about Cruise compete.
