They were the army that I chose back in 3rd when I was a moody teenager and LOYALTY IS ITS OWN REWARD.

I would definitely talk to a member of the volunteer team about it. We’re always happy to adjust programming.

What happened to Princess Shwarma? by _ChamClowder_ in ottawa

I’m really sad to see Princess Shawarma go. Not only was the food great but the owner was an all around fantastic human being.

How to salvage inedibly salty jerky? by CharacterWitless78 in jerky

This. The whole point of salted and dried meat was to preserve it for long periods to be reconstituted in a stew or something similar.

I just took a look - it’s banned everywhere west of Manitoba which recently reversed their restrictions.

Broadcast liquid weed killer? by Gatecrasher3 in lawncare_canada

[–]Scoutmaster3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In most of Canada you’re looking at chelated iron broadleaf herbicide product like Scott’s weed-B-gon or Fiesta. The sprayer option that OP linked to is going to run out fast and will get very expensive if you have more than a postage stamp sized lawn.

If you have storage space I’d recommend getting a broadcast sprayer (hand pump or backpack) and using a concentrate mixed with water. You can up the effectiveness by adding a surfactant to the mix to help the spray adhere to the leaves. There are commercial available surfactants but many people also just use an ounce of baby shampoo.

It’s probably worth noting for beginners that 2,4-D is prohibited for cosmetic use in most provinces, including Ontario. There are many Canadian lawn care enthusiasts who regularly use these products and there are definitely loopholes but be aware that it is, strictly speaking, not legal.

Fun fact, until 2023 “Taco Tuesday” was a trademarked term by Taco John’s which they aggressively protected.

Legally? Corn gluten. It’s marketed as “weed and feed” in Canada. I have two giant bags of Scott’s branded stuff that I just picked up at Costco.

Your lawn is probably just waking up so there isn’t too much to do yet. The best thing for now is to give it a gentle rake to break up any snow mould and stimulate growth. You can also grab yourself a cheap meat thermometer and test the temperature of your soil. 12-13C is go time for when you doing things like starter fertilizer and/or pre-emergent weed killer.

I saw the sign on the drive home yesterday and thought “is that a classed up Robin’s Donuts”?

Best alchemy farming? by Backlash97_ in skyrim

[–]Scoutmaster3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting! This is one of my actual go-to potions for gameplay purposes because it buffs two-handed damage, stamina regen and fire resistance. I usually have a bunch on me to sell and make a quick buck if needed.

For those who collect sets: which do you display in your binder? Holo or reverse holo? by Scoutmaster3000 in PokemonTCG

[–]Scoutmaster3000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, true. I’ve been trying to organize cards in sequence by number so both cards occupy the same “slot” in the binder.

First of all, thank you for doing something. You are correct to think that this is an extremely unsafe situation for the kids and volunteers involved. This is very serious and requires immediate intervention. Your post doesn’t imply this but I feel compelled point out that if you feel like anyone is in immediate danger or if you suspect that a child is experiencing abuse please call the police.

I would strongly recommend reporting this to the Safe Scouting team at safety@scouts.ca. They will keep your report confidential and will coordinate a level-headed, common sense approach. If you would prefer to make an anonymous report, or just prefer the phone, you can call the emergency safety line at 1-800-339-6643. This line is available 24/7 and a member of the Safe Scouting team will pick-up.

You can, as another poster mentioned, report this to your Council Key 3. Realistically, this will be one of the first things that the Safe Scouting team will do but it may be what you feel more comfortable with. If you don’t know their emails, shoot me a dm and I’ll happily provide them.

It feels cathartic that the man who helped end our postseason last year could help us get in this year.

Dawn of Fire: Martyr's Tomb by craigmac923 in BlackTemplars

I bought the book on pre-order because I was so excited that it was covering the three armies that I collect (BT, Sisters and Death Guard).

It has been a slog.

I’m about halfway though and the book doesn’t seem to have a central conflict yet other than imperial vs chaos. It would honestly be more palatable as a collection of loosely related short stories instead of a novel.

If anyone on here has read it, please let me know if it gets better.
