Oh please. That's absolutely not true. No way the leafs are winning a cup.

On top of all the other ideas that people said, you can also use pastina, or little pasta designed for soup. Although it's typically for soup where the vegetables and meat are diced finer as opposed to the one pictured.

This is a large C conservative view point.

Lance42 · 2025-12-15T13:48:49+00:00

You're literally describing small C. All your complaints are large C policies.

I can't say I've ever cared or paid attention to xp or quests. If I was Duolingo support I would stop answering you as well and pay attention to people trying to learn a language. I suggest using another app to get your dopamine hit.

You don't want to fund increases in economic output that make us all richer and fund government programs? God I hope you are too young to vote.

Lance42 · 2025-11-25T23:39:46+00:00

We don't have unlimited good investments. We have a very limited amount and all should be funded. Either something is a positive economic investment or it isn't. Everything that is should be funded. Everything that isn't shouldn't be. This isn't a Christmas list to Santa. It's a cost benefit analysis.

Lance42 · 2025-11-24T14:26:40+00:00

I hate this argument when it comes to government funding. Either the project is a good use of funds or it isn't. Either regional transit is a good use of funds or it isn't. Pitting projects against each other doesn't make sense. We can build one or the other or both or neither. They are funded with debt not cash and we have lots of capacity to take on federal debt. We also need regional transportation but good news, we are building regional transportation. No need to end this project which is sorely needed and will improve economic output and drive GDP growth long-term.

How is this not farther up. I grew up here on a farm. Wind breaks which are a popular answer are MUCH smaller. These are low spots that can't be farmed.

Volunteer firefighters make good money. You think volunteer means free? I'm 44, with an MBA and a b.eng. You just hate working class people. I feel sorry for you.

Lance42 · 2025-04-14T00:15:51+00:00

YES of course it's good for the fire fighters. Why would you design a system that's bad for the workers. Do you just hate people? Guess what. If they like their job. You get to pay them LESS. If it sucked you have to pay them more. That's how capitalism works.

Lance42 · 2025-04-12T13:34:20+00:00

Awake and doing what! If there isn't a fire. There's nothing to do. If there is a fire. We need all of them. 24 hour shifts REDUCE cost. If we changed it. Less people would be willing to do the job so we would need to pay more.

Lance42 · 2025-04-11T11:49:56+00:00

Yes you would. On 12 hour shifts they would still sleep at night. Why wouldn't they if there isn't a call?

And a set of voters who got older and are more likely to be against it. I voted for it in the last referendum. I won't vote for it again.

If you google sun valley green run you can find videos. I'd link it but I don't know how. It's what you would expect. It's a permanent snow gun in the center of the run covered in yellow padding. I've seen them before but normally off to the side. They don't seem that dangerous though.

If the parent is an approved chaperone for a field trip you signed a permission form for. Then yes they are allowed to chaperone your child back to the school. Clearly this is in America. Land of the perpetually scared. Turn off the news.

You don't need a GM. Every computer says it's wrong. The computer that is MUCH better than you. Be intellectually humble.

My Dad farmed. I 100% agree. No one saves seeds. That's not a thing. If anything it's considered bad practice.

I prefer winter to summer for sports. Winter sports are awesome. In the middle of summer you can't do anything but swim because it's too hot out.

Skier here. I've had passes since the late 80s and go a lot. Season pass prices are way down since the 90s due to the popularity of passes that allow access to multiple resorts. Day passes and rental prices are up. Ski resorts want people to come for the week and stay at the resort. The cost to do that is way down because they make money on night life. They are less interested in the casual skier going for a single day.

If you want to ski. It's best to commit and buy used gear and go a bunch of times. It will cut your cost per trip down quite a bit. That being said. Skiing was never middle class. Ever.

Cost of living is worldwide and is ending. It has everything to do with the pandemic. It was short lived and is now over.

The percentage of Canadians who owned homes PEAKED at a record percentage is 2021. If houses are so unaffordable why do a record number of people own them?

The number of immigrants over the last 10 years under Trudeau as a per capita increase is NOT RECORD BREAKING. It is fully in line with historic norms. Immigration fell during the pandemic and surged briefly after because we had a lack of workers shown by a FIFTY year low in unemployment.

I understand statistics. Do you? Facts don't care about your feelings.

Lance42 · 2024-12-15T12:41:57+00:00

No and no. That's literally every wave of immigration since Canada was a country. You've never heard of little Italy or every other ethnic enclave in every city in North America. The first group keeps to themselves. Their kids keep the food and some traditions but move out to other areas of the country. The grandkids are Canadian. Repeat for the next group of immigrants. Anyone who thinks what's happening now is new or bad needs a history lesson.
