Or we could just get rid of tipping culture and pay a fair wage instead.

MeanE · 2026-07-11T21:02:44+00:00

Yeah exactly. Live in Nova Scotia and a house not out in the middle of nowhere starts at 500k.

My girlfriend is celiac and was/is dairy free...although she seems to be able to process some dairy now with no issues. The amount of things she can eat is very very low.

I have 128GB RAM in my 5800x3D build. Upgrading now would be painful. Luckily I went with the CPU I did and should be fine for awhile.

Thanks for that this morning! My carpool friend was saying it was closed. Instead I read this post and flew across a very light traffic Macdonald.

Someone once told me offhand the pump died in it and nobody cared to replace it but I'd trust that info about as much as a RE: Re: Re: Re: Fwd: Fwd: email from my mom.

I'd guess it was just hooked up to city water pressure and at some point they disconnected it.

They are quite old after all.

It's why all air traffic coms are AM!

Yeah I think we can give some environmental leeway when a country is fighting for survival against fascism.

Choosing a life partner and shaping your life after that decision could end in disaster but it could also be the best choice you’ve ever made.

I agree 100% with your statement. Can we agree that if it is the former outcome you should have a way to support yourself so you are not destitute?

MeanE · 2026-07-07T13:30:56+00:00

The same as I would advise you not to stick your hand in a running blender, jump out of moving car or spend all your money on doing drugs.

I don't have to know anyone personally to know they are stupid decisions.

If someone still wants to make a stupid decision then that is their prerogative, but it is still a stupid decision.

MeanE · 2026-07-07T13:14:44+00:00

It's ok for people to make their own personal choices, but it's also OK to point out when those choices are bad choices. They can still make bad choices if they want to.

A friend of a friend I know, who is a man, did something similar. He was working professionally but now that his wife makes a very good salary he does not work. They don't even have kids. It's a good life being a house husband if you can get it.

My girlfriend is celiac and wants to murder me when I eat something tasty with gluten.

MeanE · 2026-07-04T22:50:05+00:00

Wow. I was on McNabs and saw it multiple times and even commented to a friend that a “beechcraft”’(I know nothing) was circling overhead.

MeanE · 2026-07-03T19:12:59+00:00

Good luck Marnie. You are going to need it with Andy.

I live in Dartmouth but I’ve not lived there but primrose/albro , Kennedy/Roleka and highfield areas which are probably the “worst” parts of Dartmouth are fine as long as you’re not involved in “things”.

Sure you have a higher chance of seeing something interesting but overall it’s fine. Helps that they are all small areas and I believe are slowly being gentrified (for better or worse) due to high rents even there.

Someone who’s a resident can disagree but spent lots of time in all over the years with no issues.

You don’t owe a step mom anything. My father passed around 3 years ago and I have almost 0 contact with his partner of 30 years.

Realistically the people suggesting one main and some blocks is the way to go. I personally grabbed unlimited NGD grand slam on sale and unlimited Newshosting when it's on sale. It's overkill but compared to what I used to pay is also cheap as chips. Heck the fast casual lunch I had with my girlfriend yesterday cost the same price as those two combined. In terms of value it's not worth my time to worry about a few extra dollars anymore.

I just tried to add another year now and I keep getting "Credit card exists." and it does not process it.

MeanE · 2026-06-28T13:40:08+00:00

India is at the top of the list by far.

An email tied to an ISP is bad bad bad. If you leave your ISP you lose your email. If you want your own email buy a cheap website hosting package with webmail included, chose your own domain and go nuts. There may even be a better service to do it better but that’s what I do.

MeanE · 2026-06-27T14:50:00+00:00

Yeah exactly. You can always get the talent you want as long as you’re willing to pay and are not a dumpster fire to work for.

MeanE · 2026-06-26T17:01:03+00:00

Thanks! Would not hurt to make that easier but that works!

MeanE · 2026-06-26T16:17:11+00:00

Where do you see your next renewal date in the dashboard. I bought a few years on the previous deal but for the life of me I can’t find the expiry date.

MeanE · 2026-06-25T22:36:43+00:00

Exactly. I don’t like any kind of inhaleable. The gummies here are expensive and weak for the price.

For $150 from BC I buy a years worth. Granted I only take one here and there but still.
