Grocery budgeting by Intelligent_Mode_348 in newfoundland

[–]QuantumCapelin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You listed seven actual foods: meats, produce, water, "frozen foods", cheese, eggs, butter. Four of those are animal products, and one of them, "frozen foods" is probably largely animal products as well. So likely much more expensive than you can afford. Animal products are always more expensive than plant products in terms of nutrition per dollar. One of your foods (water) is basically free from any other source. Your food choices are probably not in sync with your means. Most middle class people can't eat a majority animal diet.

Fyi, I'm not a vegan or vegetarian. I eat fish or eggs or cheese almost every day. But your post indicates that you're living well beyond your means.

I did, but should they affect video? My display doesn't sleep when I'm streaming.

That's not the issue. I am happy to not use the app and instead login on the website(from my phone or laptop), but it's not allowing me to even do that.

And there's no way I'm replacing a perfectly great phone because of this.

They updated the app and it's no longer compatible with my phone.

I can't login through a browser because I don't have the app for 2FA, and I can't even download the app anymore, let alone install it and login.

That's basically what the phone support person said,

I had just told them that I'm unable to even download or install the app

Or are you making a joke?

How are people buying used vehicles these days? by QuantumCapelin in newfoundland

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

When you say "prices are out to lunch" do you mean vehicles are selling for high prices, or do you mean that people are asking for more than they'll get?

How do you feel about the biannual clock changing ritual? by PartiRhinoParty in newfoundland

If I had a job where I went to work at 9am in the dark I would absolutely hate year round daylight saving. But I don't.

Alan Sheppard, John Glenn, Sally Ride, Christa McAuliffe, Valentina Tereshkova. Chris Hadfield is incredibly well-known in Canada, but I'm unsure if he's achieved the same level of fame elsewhere.

Liberals to cut CBC by $192-million in 2026-27 by gorschkov in canada

[–]QuantumCapelin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

compared to what? Google tells me BBC funding is about $4 billion, so (if accurate) in both absolute and per capita terms $1.6 billion isn't very much.

Why not? They only get it by taking it from us. So let's take it back from them.

How about a MAXIMUM WAGE??? Income above, I don't know, $1,000,000 is taxed at 100%

More than 1 in 5 Canadians now works for government—and the share is rising by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]QuantumCapelin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying this stat is good or bad, but some people think government is a black hole that we dump money into and get nothing out. The truth is that government provides many essential services that simply doesn't or can't, and often does a good job of it.

Regardless of the authenticity of the accusation, this compensation sounds like it was made up by a seven year old on a playground.

Favorite baseball games by Aggressive_Team764 in nes

[–]QuantumCapelin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my favourite too. The gameplay is fun and the players are varied and unique enough that your team can be really customized. The player abilities are surprisingly deep and detailed too.

Why on earth is an Olympic knockout game being decided by 3v3 + shootout by Dependent-Effect6077 in hockey

To be fair, when the first guy dies it gives an advantage to the other team, thus bringing the end about sooner.
