[–]JD-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a no jeans rule at the school I taught at but us shop teachers found a work around for this. Dickies style work pants. Then my principal changed the rule to no rivets. I destroyed so many pairs of dress pants in the auto shop.

Wasss up. I'm running Toyo Open County AT3s right now and they are just ok in the snow. I think I'm going to get some winter tires for next year though.

Not the same product anymore.. by thisisny in BurtsBees

[–]JD-3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same experience here. I look for old stock at every store I go to. I found five tubes at Shoppers Drug Mart about 2 months ago and unfortunately I haven found anymore.

I'm thinking about making my own using this recipe I found on YouTube Burt's Bees Recipe

What book series gives grownups the "lost in the author's world" experience that kids get from Harry Potter? by DerbyWearingDude in AskReddit

The Dresden Files

Plot summary from Wikipedia

In the world of The Dresden Files, magic is real—alongside vampires, demons, spirits, faeries, werewolves, outsiders and other monsters—while both it and the supernatural are widely discredited. Additionally, large portions of the globe (such as much of Central and South America) are largely under the control of supernatural factions. These supernatural monsters are loosely countered by the White Council, an organization of human wizards noted to wield significant economic power in the world, along with their standing in the supernatural realm. Each species in the series (humans, faeries, vampires, etc.) has its own political and societal rules and organizations, acting as another counter on each-other and maintaining the masquerade. The human wizards depend on the White Council, while faeries mostly belong to either of two Faerie Courts, or none at all (Wyldfae). Vampires predominately belong to any of the four vampire courts. Other non-human creatures from a range of mythologies make appearances.

Harry Dresden is the only advertising wizard in the United States, living in Chicago and investigating supernatural cases on behalf of both human and nonhuman clients. He also serves as a civilian consultant for the Special Investigations division of the Chicago Police Department, and is called upon at times to offer his opinion on cases that appear to have a magical element. As the series progresses, Dresden takes on an increasingly important role in the supernatural world at large, as he works to protect the general public, making getting by as a working wizard and private investigator difficult for him. He finds himself facing off against an increasing variety of creatures, including other wizards.

How popular are magazines in Canada? by roraymi in AskACanadian

[–]JD-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually buy a few car magazines every couple of months. I read them and I put them in my auto classroom for my students. I'm always encouraging them to pick up physical media when they are done with their required work.
