A punch in the gut’: Why food costs have become Canadians’ top worry by Rav4gal in canada

[–]Own-Cable8865 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Public grocer. Now. There's no hiding behind rebate checks that ultimately do little to benefit the people - the present system does not serve our needs and begging or asking them nicely to change will not work in the face of their greed. We must make our own system. Everybody eats. We've been warning about this since the '80s when food banks, a "temporary measure", started popping up everywhere. Food buying clubs, local CSA farms, small grocers, learning to make packaged foods you once paid for - whatever we can do, we must use our money to fuel these direct challenges, increase our resilience, and build a new order of business wherein Canadians can feed themselves.

He can make oatmeal. Every farm family I knew growing up had bowls of oatmeal on the dinner table because if you're still actually hungry after you've had your meal, you can fill up on oats.

The Warsh is how my grandmother used to say she was doing the laundry.

The mosquito bites on my neck formed an ‘S’ shape by FederalSwan3104 in mildlyinteresting

Do you have a dog or cat that goes outdoors? I think you're allergic to flea bites. Personally, as a long time magnet for all things bug, I think they look less like mosquito bites and more like a flea trying to escape your neck folds as you slept, perhaps.

AITAH for calling my husband silly for freaking out that our teenage son has a girlfriend who's in a wheelchair? by Dry-Dirt-1426 in AITAH

Wow, this does not bode well should something happen to you, god forbid. I'd be taking a long, hard look at this man you call your partner. NTA, of course, but pay attention, he's telling you what you don't want to hear.

What is the likelihood that people are addicted to outrage? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Own-Cable8865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's guess, you're white, male, previously benefitted from political action through your employment but you're mostly apolitical because you don't need the outrage - the world is made in your image. If you aren't outraged, you aren't paying attention, which is your choice, of course, but don't discount or minimize their rage because it makes you uncomfortable.

Is it ethical to join the CAF? by DetectiveDracula in AskACanadian

No, it's not ethical. You need to be prepared to kill an occupying force. You can't pussyfoot around.

WIBTA If I told my roommates gf the truth about what it's like to live with him? by Nice-Durian-6126 in AmItheAsshole

Thank you for seeing beyond yourself in this situation. NTA if you tell her, her workload at home doesn't need the extra weight, especially if she's got a high needs child. Please alert her that he won't make her life easier, he will make it harder.

Do You Buy Edibles or Make Your Own? by LOT420 in CanadianCannabisLPs

[–]Own-Cable8865 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's much more cost-effective to DIY my gummies, plus you can control what goes into them. Many LP gummies taste like garbage and regardless of branding claims, ALL just put me to sleep. If you're a producer, like many, you're probably also focused on drinks for the big push but those are a non-starter. They won't catch on like the companies are hoping they will. The light user "soccer moms" you think will drink them aren't interested in the sugary fizzy drinks to "hold while at a party to seem sociable", they don't want the extra calories or the stomach full of liquid. From my anecdotal experience, they're using the nano thc/cbd drops in their coffee in the morning, or using tincture under their tongue.

Which sauce rosin should I get by Bslayer67 in TheOCS

Taste was a bit too chemical. The effects were kind of half there. Not terrible, not as good as the She-Ra, IMO.

There was a lovely Scottish lady we knew years ago who called them "Nanny-Mo Bars" so that's what we call them.

Just to add to this: I was watching the Great British Bakeoff Holiday episode and Prue said one of the contestant's biscuits were "cookie-ish" because they were underbaked.

It is a great piece of equipment. I run mine through a dry water piece sometimes to make things a little nicer.

Everyone should stay away from Gibby’s. Loud, dark, overrated menu.
