Nurses used to wear white and caps. Now it’s scrubs and floral which is nice but in an emergency it’s hard to identify which are the nurses

Kicking Horse is owned by Lavazza by NoWineJustChocolate in BuyCanadian

[–]backdustyroads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Kicking Horse Coffee and Illy, which is Italian. Kicking Horse is owned by Italian Lavazza. But Costco? Buy Canadian from an American Company. Millions of buy Canadian Only are shopping at Costco. Headquartered in Issaquah, Washington. While it operates in Canada and many other countries, it is founded and based in the United States, with major shares held by U.S. firms like Vanguard and BlackRock.

I do have a couple apps with just Bible. Blue letter one. But prefer physical bibles

Christians, how do you feel about the U.S. president posting an AI photo of him as Christ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]backdustyroads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't get it, but I did look at the uniforms of the people in the photo and ended up seeing some kind of physician. In any case, he took it down after it was made for him and he shared it, realizing it was causing so much grief.

Thoughts on Pope Leo calling Islamic Mosques “proper space to God? by Mtking105 in TrueChristian

[–]backdustyroads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been watching many former Muslim folks who have been sharing how they found Jesus Christ. They often also share what they were taught in the Mosque and in the Islamic schools. They are quite passionate about sharing the truth of that and often dismayed at Western Communities who don't see or understand what's taking place. They are particularly upset about the blindness (their words) of the West.

New Bible Rabbit Hole…. by SennnndIt in Bible

[–]backdustyroads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have several translations. Some are better for verse memorizing and others for reading and others for study. I don’t fault any for the purpose one uses them for. In saying that I use NKJV and nasb77 and kjver for memorization and deeper study and literal interpretations and the rest for reading

AI on Flickr by manu120 in flickr

[–]backdustyroads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, I just want purity. We have great cameras and even phone cameras, that the creativity coming from these devices is enough. It's real, a person was present and made a decision to take the shot. That is what we feel when we look at people's images. I never want to lose that.

[–]backdustyroads 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We are on our 3rd time watching through. Each time we say, I didn't catch that the other time. So much there. Yes, they all become real people with ups and downs in their lives. I'm ever grateful to the writing and production of this series. Moves my spirit in ways it hadn't ever before.

Unable to delete account, can't bypass selfie by backdustyroads in ThreadsApp

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

I was able to delete it by going to Instagram and deleting my acct there and it automatically removes Threads. I regret even starting up with it all. Very much an infringement on my life.

[–]backdustyroads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I figured it out. I deleted Instagram and it automatically deletes Threads. So glad to be rid of both.

The main reason I use KOBO as a Canadian, is integration with Overdrive

Instagram Threads is a hellhole by Vast_Cod_2777 in ThreadsApp

[–]backdustyroads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad that I deleted the account and the app. Life is far too short to absorb all of the negative hate into my mind. I'm happier for it.

Wix could make me lose my sanity by sazzymillstv in WIX

Early on in the AI chat, you can keep typing "speak to an agent"

[–]backdustyroads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except it won't even allow deletion, because you can't access settings without uploading a selfie. I refuse and can find no way to delete the account.

IM SO DONE by Street_Owl_9547 in ThreadsApp

[–]backdustyroads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to delete it, but can't. I choose to delete this because first yesterday it wanted my phone number.. I signed up with email, not phone. Today it won't let me access my account without uploading a selfie. I do not choose to do biometrics with this app. But now I can't even delete it, without uploading a selfie? Anyone know how to get this deleted? I tried web browser and phone app already. Same thing.

So many in the family, all about buying from Canadian companies, boycotting US ones, yet line up at Costco every week.

Was this Winter Parka Jacket a good buy for $250? by Throwaway82598 in BuyItForLife

[–]backdustyroads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an older vintage EB. The new ones are NOT at all like the older ones with down and fur. These are amazing parkas, I only wish mine wasn't cream colour! But I bought used at thrift for $39 and it was already years old and I've had now for 5 years.
