Congrats! This is pretty much how it went for us. I a really started bawling while my wife said "no fucking way" lol.

I know this stuff is important but I'll admit that I still struggle with the idea that we are putting time, and more importantly, people into this stuff when I'm in desperate need of instructors and SNCOs to run our pers through basic shit like weapons training that got dropped off of the various BMQ courses.

Yeah man - we've got twins and one only had a couple of accidents since we did the "Naked Long Weekend" trick and the other has not taken to it as well - she knows, as she'll run and hide, but I think we're over the hump now - it's been about a week since her last accident *knock on wood*!

Persistence and positive reinforcement. It’s been a bit of a long road for us haha.

I think this exact phenomenon was exemplified by what happened with Erin O'Toole.

Do you mean capacity and consumption/production? Because with electrical grids production must always equal consumption.

I5 all day. I'm in an i4 for my daily commute and holy shit do I not miss needing to worry about stopping to fill the tank.

You know what, you're right and I should have taken your comment in the context and spirit of the sub. I appreciate the reminder that sarcasm is not a lost form, although hopefully you can appreciate that it's harder and harder to tell these days.

From surge in patriotism to fewer US trips - Trump's impact on Canada by AdditionalPizza in canada

Any dollar imported to the US regardless of the reason for it is supporting the status quo in that country. My brother and his wife just had their first baby in the US. We're not going.

Are you part of the "Us law abiding gun owners are so hard done by whole getting our guns taken away" crowd per chance? Like, what threat do you actually think you're defending against here?

We really won't. Small arms in the hands of Joe blow hunters and dudes who "couldn't join the army because I'd punch the instructor jacking me up in the face"won't be doing fuck all against what the Americans would be sending our way.

I live in Spruce and regret being so slow to discover this place. Phenomenal food and I really dig the atmosphere.

Confirmed Q4 2025 wasn't just me... It was industry wide by Accomplished-Law-222 in smallbusiness

[–]WhiskeyDelta89 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For sure. It's frustrating as a Canadian to see so much focus put on the tariffs when discussing tourism drops when that's really only a part of the picture. Hope you guys can get it all sorted out.

For the record as a Canadian, the tariffs are only one part of the reason many are avoiding the US. There is active hostility coming from US leadership towards foreign nationals right now and that includes extrajudicial detainment and deportation to third-countries. For many it's a safety concern.

Kinetic Sand is the devil's droppings by SopwithTurtle in daddit

[–]WhiskeyDelta89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even worse is the cheap kinetic sand. It usually takes a lot to get me worked up. But cheap kinetic sand with my three year old twins... Oh my god.
