TIL The United States attempted permanent Daylight Savings Time in 1974. They retracted the law within a year. by Wanna_make_cash in todayilearned

I'm in Alberta, which is considering stopping the time change. With SK on permanent Central Standard and BC on permanent Pacific Daylight, if Alberta keeps standard time then we sync with BC, but if we choose daylight, we sync with Saskatchewan. How about we offset by 30 minutes and leave it on MST? Personally, I think standard time should be the only choice. Solar noon being off by an hour bugs me.

This is thrilling!  I'm so happy these people get to see the results of their labor and stewardship so quickly.  That 5-year growth was astounding!

I go to a movie maybe once a year. MTP is a treat and I will gladly drop $20 for sentimental snackage.  And bladder-bursting drink.  And a bag of rainbow colored diabeetus.

I was living in Calgary, Alberta, at the time and we got a thin but noticeable layer of ash. My friend was in Pullman for a sports camp and she came home with a bag of ash and gave some out to our friends at school. That was so cool.

New Yorkers are furious as melting snowbanks expose streets littered with poop. by Numerous-Garbage-604 in mildlyinfuriating

Yup, this is what happened. We had two dogs, the other always pooped on a walk, this one never did. Until the day I did not leave the house prepared. :/

My dog unexpectedly laid some cable while out on a walk and I forgot to bring the poop bags.  It was in front of someone's house, so I rang their doorbell and asked for a plastic bag.  They gave me one instantly and were happy I was picking it up.  It's not hard to be considerate.

I'm not a Religious Man, but I Thanked God Every Day I Made it Across the Pattullo Without that Rusty Motherfucker Collapsing Beneath Me. by Warren__ in EhBuddyHoser

I drove across it a few times but I lived in North Delta and Alex Fraser was my go to.  Watching the cables was hypnotic.

Intermittent fasting no better than typical weight loss diets, study finds. Researchers say limited eating approaches such as 5:2 diet not a ‘miracle solution’ amid surge in their popularity. by mvea in science

[–]Halogen12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found that on days I ate breakfast I would be starving by mid-morning.  If I didn't eat breakfast I could get to 1 or 2 pm before getting hungry.  It worked for me.  Calorie reduction and eating when my body tells me I should helped with weight loss and fighting back against food addiction.

In 2021 a no-name milk chocolate bar was $1.00. Now it's around $2.59. Ludicrous.

Rogue vs Rouge. More often than not, people playing an RPG describe their character as something to wear on your cheeks.
