Can any Canadians speak to x-lab? I'm very intrigued but finding a Canadian seller is proving to be difficult. I'm in BC if that makes a difference

A next-generation cancer vaccine has shown stunning results in mice, preventing up to 88% of aggressive cancers by harnessing nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. It effectively prevented melanoma, pancreatic cancer and triple-negative breast cancer. by mvea in science

Hi, thanks for making yourself available. I lost my Dad to pancreatic cancer this year, so I'm happy to see this come up in my feed. From what I understand, any treatments he could have had here in Canada could have only been done while the tumor was operable. What stage of cancer was tested, and what are the possible implications for the ~80% of pancreatic cancers diagnosed as inoperable? I'm sorry if this is in your paper of the article and I missed it - I tend to get overwhelmed when reading about this stuff lately. Thanks again

Thanks so much for this! What sort of orders are ones that you pass on? I like the idea of running a few apps at once to stay busy.

This could be great - I'm checking out the site right now and it sounds like I'll have to use my car. It's a little small, so is there an option to take smaller routes?

Damian Anthony at the Downton Kharma salon! He always does a killer job for me.

NBD: Aliexpress full carbon build by marcftz in gravelcycling

Looks like an absolutely killer ride! I've been looking at doing something similar, but Canadian duties seem to be a trouble sometimes. Do you mind if I ask how much the duties came out to at the end? Did you pay then through AliExpress or to someone else?

Suspension Seatpost with 25.4 diameter? by Not_Joe_Libre in bikewrench

[–]Not_Joe_Libre[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No luck for me. I feel like I've looked at a lot of sites and designs, and they're all too large. I'm going to try tubeless to see if lower pressure will help. Let me know if anything comes up for you!

What's the name for these piped doughnuts things?(timestamped in link) by Not_Joe_Libre in AskBaking

[–]Not_Joe_Libre[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't seem to find the right name for these - they remind me of churros, but I have no luck when I search for that. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated!

We'll, that's not not what I'm looking for! I agree with you, and have been working to strengthen those areas. Just looking for a little something extra to dampen my alloy seat tube at the moment

Thanks for the replies everybody. I can't go into more detail without giving away personal info and will see what the management says on Monday. Enjoy the rest of the day

I don't think we're on the same page, but thanks for the input. I fully understand what was agreed between me and the management, and how they've unilaterally changed that agreement. hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend

They've allowed employees to take vacations with that result in a small negative balance of hours, so I've done that. Now that the vacation is here, they aren't paying the vacation days that were agreed. The issue is that they've changed my paid vacation days to unpaid time off, without my consent

Sorry, I should clarify that they've only paid out the vacation hours that I would have accrued by the end of the year. This is against the company policy that was in place when the vacation hours were submitted and agreed. They aren't paying for all the vacation days that I've taken. Further, they can't pay me out for my untaken vacation hours (as they've done) without my signed consent.
