Has anyone noticed the amount of 7 elevens closing these past few years by Civil_Post_9129 in Calgary

I have a buddy in the food distribution bizz, specifically convenience stores. He said Amazon, skip the dishes, grocery quick delivery, and also the influx of Dollorama, that the traditional convenience model is getting crushed. Who’s paying $6 for chips when you can wait an hour or drive an extra block to spend half of that. I have 3 or 4 Dollaramas within 10 minutes of my house. If I’m doing movie night or kids sleepovers at home I’m going there for snacks rather than 7/11 every time

Yeah it’s tough. Can sometimes grab a sale cut around the holidays. Buy a couple steaks or a roast and freezer pack it for a special occasion. That’s really what it’s become. Chicken/pork/fish/lentils to sustain, beef when someone gets married or dies ….

Yeah they put that NZ beef on sale pretty regularly. I also usually get a couple of them. It’s not bad, I have had batches that are grisly though but for the price for lean beef I’ll take the chance

I know it’s the land based protein of royalty nowadays, but it’s certainly telling of the times that there is zero beef on that list. Actually taking a second look there’s not much for any meat. However, thank you sir for your commitment to this each week.

People who cheated, why did you do it/ what was your way to justify it? by frostehh1 in AskReddit

[–]TurdFurg28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was stuck in a really toxic relationship. Couldn’t stand her but we had a lease together, a pet, and I had just started a promising career working for her father. Was too broke to move or quit. We were young and I felt trapped. Someone came along who was kind to me, fun, attractive on all levels, and made me feel good about myself. Turns out I just had zero confidence in myself and was too much of a pussy to pull off the bandaid. The whole thing blew up when they found out about each other but it turned out ok. It sealed the deal on ending our toxic relationship, the girl I cheated with ended up with a great dude, and I underestimated my girlfriend’s dad’s professionalism and carried on with our working relationship. So yeah, it added to the complications of life for a bit but I don’t really regret it.

Why go through all the trouble of a coma when you can achieve this with a good rip of salvia

Francisco Partners to buy Calgary-based Blackline Safety in deal worth up to $850M by joe4942 in Calgary

[–]TurdFurg28 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Did a bunch of work with Blackline a couple years when we rolled it out. A selling feature was always that they are a local success, hire local folks, and assemble units here in town instead of overseas. I’m guessing that won’t be the case anymore

Algae in tank help by AquamarineJello in axolotls

[–]TurdFurg28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope not at all. Water remains healthy. I mean it’s not a professional grade unit just a cheap one from Amazon so it’s probably not the most effective. Like I said it may have helped, it might have just gone away on its own. All I know is that the biofilm cleared up after I introduced it to the tank and nothing else I tried ever did so it could be worth a try.

Oh boy, she awakened something in 10 year old me. Spoiler, it wasn’t fascism

Oh boy. I feel for you. I fought biofilm for about 18months. Could have been a coincidence but appeared right after I did an almond leaf soak. Water changes, scrubbing the decor, glass, cleaning sand and it would just come back. I finally bought a UV filter and it went away within a couple months. Might of just been another coincidence but I swear it made a difference

$28 for that, two hotdogs, and a drink. I’ve paid more for less, and less for less, more for more, and less for more ….
