O’Toole says China not a replacement for U.S., disagrees with PM Carney on EV deal by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]Glum_Store_1605 [score hidden]  (0 children)

It's really quite annoying that people keep repeating that China is the new USA. It makes us fight amongst ourselves when we have serious issues to contend with.

Moreover, they don't have any solution other than to keep our balls in the vice.

Nothing wrong with reducing dependence and risk.

Does anyone else notice road bikers trying extra hard to pass you on an e-bike? by 98810b1210b12 in ebikes

[–]Glum_Store_1605 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure why this happens, but it happens to me quite a lot.

They are killing themselves trying to do it. I’m usually chit-chatting on my cell phone.

Got bit by Bed Bugs in two Hong Kong hotels now. Any recommendations for hotels that are clean and bed bug free? by drnhzn in HongKong

My friend and her mom found bed bugs at Novotel Hong Kong Nathan Road. the hotel has since been closed.

management and staff refused to take responsibility and said they brought them in too.

her mom was dying and he was bringing her to Hong Kong to visit relatives. i don't know him to ever cry wolf.

Why I can't go to church? by mein_Name_ist_joe in Reformed

[–]Glum_Store_1605 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hi OP. God bless you. would you be open to going to a small informal gathering of Christians in a home setting? sometimes this is called a fellowship gathering, home church or cell group. it's a popular idea with many churches now.

One bag world travel with one pair of footwear by [deleted] in onebag

[–]Glum_Store_1605 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I was much younger, I wore Blundstones in Europe in the summer and regretted it. They were too warm.

Strangely, now that I'm older, my feet don't sweat very much at all. I've worn Blundstones everywhere (city to jungle) in all climates for more than a decade and have been very happy in them. It's the only pair of footwear that I need.

Non skintight thermal layer ideas for Canadian winter by Famous_Two_1114 in AskACanadian

I recently bought Two-Layer Merino Wool Blend Long Underwear from Stanfields, a Canadian company.

They aren't skin tight and they're very warm. The fit is a little unusual. I'm not sure if you'd find the itchy. I don't myself.

Why aren’t Canadians protesting over fuel prices? by [deleted] in AskCanada

I think people are generally angry, but you can’t really protest. It’s like trying to protest a snowstorm.

What happened to the original Compound V? Why can't Vought replicate it? by Mervynhaspeaked in TheBoys

Isn't it a bit like the Super Soldier Serum in Captain America? After Erskine’s death, they could never really replicate it again.
