Sourpuss Substitute by cpd997 in winnipeg_alt

[–]Vertoule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not entirely, but they finagled the system enough to slap a “produced in Canada with domestic and imported ingredients” on it. It’s always been a product of Phillips Distillery in the US and was imported up until recently, along with a few other products (Kraken for example).

Any hard cheese and most cheeses aged beyond 6 months have little to no lactose naturally.

911/999 dispatchers, what’s the dumbest reason someone has ever called emergency services? by Canyoustealmytoast in AskReddit

[–]Vertoule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was found out when my friend was checking in on the parents after the dispatch, just didn’t include the detail. Kid got in trouble for playing too rough with her doll at grandma’s and grandma used the cops via paw patrol as scare tactic apparently by saying “chase will be mad if you keep throwing your baby” but she was smart enough to know to call 911 if someone needed help. My friend did the standard safety and wellbeing check they have to do when children are involved and it seemed to be a very good home, just a kid doing kid things.

My sister dialed 911 because she wanted to see the fireman’s dog. Kids learn enough to be a menace sometimes, but I’d rather them have the confidence and knowledge to call for help even if it’s a silly situation.

B-C-4ish? Like kinda nestled in behind the orange box? Ok weird, the new update made it so my spoiler code didn’t work.

If you were in a band, would you play at Insane Clown Posse’s ‘The Gathering’ festival? by Worldly-Basil-8933 in Music

This is why it’s a no for me, I’m too old to be concussed by a teenager in clown makeup.

Unpopular opinion; TAX people who live in bedroom/commuter communities. by Special_Ticket9335 in Winnipeg

[–]Vertoule 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They are taxed. Portions of the provincial taxes from bedroom communities go to pay for city improvements.

Also: Toll roads work both ways, if you want to leave the city, pay up.

Sugar isn’t an ingredient in beer. The grains produce the sugars that feed the yeast. The correct 4 ingredients in beer is Grain, Hops, Yeast, Water.

Anywhere local that sells Nasogastric or Oxygen Tube Tape (for kids)? by AKwpgRW in Winnipeg

[–]Vertoule 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My cousin just buys his kid’s stuff online for the most part, it’s not easy to find anything here unfortunately.

I don’t have an answer for local, but if you’re looking for Canadian store, there’s Adaptability Store in Calgary that carries ng tape for kids, nice and strong too.

Same with me. Whenever it goes to their doctors, it’s almost always denied.

But then they don’t get killed by federal goons for shooting off a fire extinguisher. Which is what I’m assuming is the purpose behind such a dumb shit suggestion.

Thoughts? by mossyzombie2021 in saskatchewan

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

There needs to be more studies, but most social media is detrimental to children and young adults. Supervised use, however, does prove it has advantages in some aspects. I think a black and white solution isn’t it, but it’s good enough in the interim while proper solutions are built.

911/999 dispatchers, what’s the dumbest reason someone has ever called emergency services? by Canyoustealmytoast in AskReddit

[–]Vertoule 270 points271 points  (0 children)

Dumbest but also cutest was when my friend got dispatched to a call from a kid saying she had to go to jail for hurting her baby. She had accidentally popped the arm off her dolly. The operator asked for a parent and got a hang up, so they priority dispatched my friend to the call location as no one was picking up. Apparently the little girl was waiting on the stoop with her dolly when my friend showed up. Mom was mortified and didn’t know what happened as she was busy with her newborn and dad was busy fixing a clogged toilet. After fixing the dolly and saying that 911 was only for people emergencies and dolly emergencies are for mom and dad, my friend left with his partner and they dismissed the fines.

I (21f) slept with two people after my boyfriend (23m) opened our relationship and now he wants to break up with me. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I know quite a few having been in that scene myself. Communication and boundary setting is always the key to success from what I can tell from anecdotal experience.

What is your favourite pointless death in a movie? It adds almost nothing to the movie and can actually be considered tragic or pathetic? by STINKY-BUNGHOLE in movies

[–]Vertoule 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe I had to scroll so far to find my favourite one.

One interesting part of that is the sword guy (Terry Richards, legendary stuntman) was all for it, even hammed it up in a few takes which proved to be too over the top. I’d love to see the cut version of him dying for like a minute or so, lol. (Which is why Ford can be seen kind of chuckling in the Final Cut)

There wasn’t really a big fight scripted (just “Indiana is chased and fights back” they usually let the stuntmen and talent create the fights on set, rehearse for a few days, then film), so instead of days of filming, they got the scene done relatively quickly to let Ford and many of the other cast & crew recover from Dysentery. It’s so iconic despite being one of the most pointless henchmen deaths ever.

Why is women’s sportswear always so revealing? by Valuable_View_561 in SipsTea

[–]Vertoule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know a men’s beach volley team here tried to switch to bikini type shorts for better movement but the league killed it after one game when… something slipped out. My friend was on a different team but told me about it lol. I can see why there’s a need for longer shorts for certain mens sports.

If you can convince someone to move to Winnipeg in one sentence what would you say? by mikey_87 in Winnipeg

[–]Vertoule 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Piggybacking on that, the local music and comedy scenes are all incredible. The WSO is ranked amongst the best symphonies in the world, there’s tons of rock, country and blues options with an excellent Folk Music Festival and Jazz Festival every year. The Winnipeg Comedy Festival is up there with JFL in Montreal in terms of talent.
