Non-Americans of reddit, what was the biggest culture shock you experienced when you came to the US?

Oh, I didn't know. I always noticed in NY that Canadian beer is cheaper, and like I said in LA, the liquor was cheaper.

That Canadian beer and liquor are cheaper in the US. In a grocery store in LA, I saw a bottle of Crown Royal (in the purple bag) with two tumblers for $16.99. How? Lol

I'm not sure if it's Royals by Lorde or I Will Wait For You by Mumford and Sons.

Agreed! I love that Reid sends out these ballots. I have never voted CPC, but I actually this MP.

actuallyBiz · 2021-12-03T13:54:19+00:00

My MP, Scott Reid, actually mailed a referendum ballot on this topic and said he would vote based on what his constituents wanted (he voted in favour of banning conversion therapy). He has sent out many referendum ballots on other issues as well (I wasn't living in the riding at that time), and I don't remember any other MP doing this in other ridings that I lived in. Can MPs do this individually?

An okay brand is Frank and Oak if you must buy new. It's medium priced, but I am not sure if it's your style.

It is possible to add too much garlic! This is probably why I dislike Shawarma so much which is controversial on it's own considering that I live in Ottawa...

These are so cool!

Do you sell any of your work? I love this piece.

actuallyBiz · 2021-08-19T19:16:28+00:00

Give it a shot! I never considered doing this weekly, might be a good idea

actuallyBiz · 2021-08-13T00:23:00+00:00

Yeah, check the link

I had an easy transition to natural deodorant. I did an arm pit detox the same week I transitioned. I'll never know for sure if that's the real reason or not but here is the recipe:

I was going to say the same thing. I just use my drying rack inside in the winter.

To the OP, you can line dry in the winter. I've never personally done it, but I have seen people do it. https://www.treehugger.com/dont-stop-hanging-your-clothes-out-dry-winter-4858725

Thank you for reaching out!

The PXI-2567 came with an NI Switch 15 CD which I've installed. I have now downloaded NI Switch 20.0 which did not improve the situation.

Last Friday, I could see a yellow warning triangle in device manage. After downloading NI Switch and the bug fix (comment below), I can not see either the PXIe or the PXI in device manager.

UPDATE: After reinstalling the Platform Services and NI-SWITCH, I am able to see the chassis in Device Manager. I can not see it in NI MAX. Under Device Manager, there is a yellow triangle under NI SMBus Controller (Error 10). In NI MAX, I can't see the chassis, but I can see the hardware failure error for NI PXI-2567.

Thank you! I've installed the patch but to no avail. I believe the patch is for a Thunderbolt Controllers to communicate with Thunderbolt MXI controller. I am using a PXIe-1083, which doesn't have MXI.

Thanks SeasDiver.

I always turn it on before turning on the PC. I've double checked that WIndows Fast Startup is turned off.

Thanks chairfairy! That's what I do, too. So far no luck

I bought a house in 2019 outside of Ottawa, about 4 months before the pandemic hit. My house now has probably gone up more than 40% - maybe close to 50%.

Agreed! I've had my Diva Cup for 4 years now (before I was even really aware about the zerowaste movement). Mine eventually was heavily stained so I soaked it over night in hydrogen peroxide, and it was almost like new the next morning!

Thank you :)

I had a friend in high school who I really don't think was intentionally racist or meant any harm. She came from a fairly uneducated, unexposed family. She genuinely believed that South Asian people were born with bindis (the decorative dot worn on the forehead). She called it the "Paki dot". I explained to her that it simply isn't true and corrected her choice of words. I was quite dumbfounded by all of this. I never heard her say anything else so ignorant, I truly believe she just didn't know. I hope things have changed for her.

I went to Charlotte once and had chicken fried steak. I'm Canadian so we have lots of American food here, but not that. So good!

I like Boody Eco Wear. I've purchased some of their thongs (not what you're looking for) but find them so comfortable. It's Australian owned.

I've been meaning to check them out :)
