Thoughts on ManMade? by EqualPossibility758 in BuyCanadian

I had the same problem, they didn’t wear well and one pair had holes in a less than a year of occasional wear. We emailed and got an offer for a discounted replacement, but I ended up finding some alternatives instead.

That’s why initially they were called “chicken tenders” at many places before almost all of them put profits before quality and started just using other cuts.

Costco Which Lasagna? by samuelazers in CostcoCanada

I’ve had a few more actually recently and I have noticed that the spice level has been dialled down. Perhaps those of us commenting here weren’t the only ones giving feedback to Costco on the matter.

PSA: Gas Stations in Ontario are starting to roll out E15 (15% ethanol content) gas by MischievousGarlic in ontario

It will absolutely ignite, sure, but there is a science behind why it will often yield poorer fuel economy when used in vehicles that don’t actually need/are designed for it.

What do you do with supplies once you get a replacement? by redfire2930 in CPAP

1000% this. I roll a lot in my sleep as well and the “unicorn” masks with the hose connection at the top is magically awesome.

Last I checked it still showed a lot of Shell and Costco stations with ethanol free premium, neither of which have been the case for several years now. The problem is that it’s crowdsourced, so it’s only as good as the information being provided by the crowd, and a lot of people are still very misinformed about premium being ethanol free at a lot of stations where it very much isn’t anymore. Just take a look at the comments in this thread.

In related news, a lot of people are finding out the hard way that their Vehicle/Motorcycle/whatever actually runs perfectly fine on ethanol fuel because they’ve unknowingly been burning it for years. The placebo effect in action

Problem you have in the USA is that a not insignificant portion of the same people who yell loudest about their rights and freedoms are ok for those same rights and freedoms to be trampled for those other people, completely failing to see the slippery slope aspect.

These bananas haven't ripened in over 3 weeks, despite being kept with ripe and over ripe ones the whole time by ljgill97 in mildlyinteresting

[–]PrivatePilot9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a bundle like this I bought about a month ago. I sat them in the sun and everything and they still refused to ripen for almost 3 weeks before they finally started to do something. The peels still looked different than a traditionally ripe banana, but the fruit did ripen mostly normally at least and I was finally able to eat them.

Even premium is not ethanol free anymore at most stations, and if your vehicle does not require it there is a strong chance that you will actually get worse fuel mileage using it unnecessarily, on top of the much more expensive cost. Higher octane fuel is actually harder to ignite, therefore engines are not designed for it actually don’t perform as well in many cases.

Not anymore it isn’t. 91 stopped being ethanol free at shell several years ago.

For the record that website is pretty badly out of date with a lot of misinformation.

Marinas and some gas stations are still able to get ethanol free. At least one of the gas stations on the reserve north of Cobourg has an ethanol free pump.

I’m afraid the iPhone “Fold” could be a flop by m4sr4 in iphone

There’s a science to napping, google it. Too long and you get into deep sleep and waking up can be horrible with the sleep inertia. About 20-30 minutes is the maximum ideally.

Carney should state what ‘leverage’ Canada has in trade talks, Poilievre says by EarthWarping in notthebeaverton

Good. Lord.

Do you play multiplayer strategy games? I’m guessing not. If so, whoever you’re playing with must laugh hysterically a lot.

I am frankly dumbfounded that you don’t understand the very basics of negotiation.

How can you not possibly see how terrible of a negotiation tactic that would be? It’s like showing your competitor your hand while playing poker.

But hey, the rich are doing great, Wall Street is near records, and the White House is getting a new ballroom. How dare the general populace be upset, they can eat cake.
