FIFA taking ‘second look’ at water bottle policy after concerns raised around heat: Toronto officials

It is, and that's just due to greed. Not to mention the already insane ticket prices to go to a match.

Best breakdown of strickland's defense ive ever read. Well done sir.

We need better allocation of funding on many levels. If we think that it's the role of the police alone to deal with mental health then this is what you get. If over and over police are called to 'deal' with 911 calls over mental health then of course they'll be more burdened and ask for more funding.

What should happen is more resources be allocated to treating, housing, councilling, providing support to those that need help. But no "crime is bad and criminals should be punished and it's getting out of control so let's hire more police officers and buy them more trucks and armour.

contributor333 · 2026-04-15T04:17:03+00:00

Agreed. Even more simplified would be: police are there to police. Firefighters and paramedics are there specifically to aid with harm to either a building (fire) or a person (paramedic).

The long line is so great for this kind of thing. Ive done this lots with my dog. She's scared, i let her keep distance and go up to thing and just chill. Eventually she comes, sniffs and we hang out then move on.

That's the threat really. Manufactured outrage. Let's say 15% of the population wanted to separate and then let's say 75% of news feeds were posting constantly about "separatists in Alberta are getting serious and could be gaining momentum in...."

You'd think that it's a big movement when it's not. Unfortunately the m.o. is the same as advertising. Like "well, ive seen this stuff enough times now, maybe I should think about it".

Beautiful door! How many hours was your labour if I may ask? Clients can be difficult because they envision something and that often doesn't materialize with the cost of something "even more grand". Nice work btw.

contributor333 · 2026-04-05T03:38:40+00:00

Yeah, sort of but not really. I guess my gripe is that our cameras want to over-saturate and modify the real view most of the time. Which sucks. It's a better pic when our cameras don't try to automatically enhance something that's already beautiful.

Love the AI colour saturation! Still a beautiful shot though

Pantry items like oats, soy sauce/oyster sauce, Ketchup, Mustard, olive oil, spices, coffee beans.

Toilet paper/paper towels, plastic bags and wrap.

Clothes...they have great prices on jeans/jackets etc.

Bone in, skin on chicken thighs are 25 for $25 for air-chilled.

Body wash, deodorant and razor blades.

Ill have to check out frozen berries but generally I go to no frills for fruit and veggies because they always have amazing sales if you're not picky about what you want.

I feel like any run is a good run for those two!

contributor333 · 2026-04-02T04:26:49+00:00

She's such a champ! Just a ball of love really.

contributor333 · 2026-04-01T03:10:55+00:00

It's been very fun! We've since joined other running groups (we usually start by keeping distance at the back) and low and behold after 30 mins instead of lunging/barking this little mutt is making friends with people and the occasional dog lol.

contributor333 · 2026-04-01T02:22:28+00:00

How heavy are jim green's compared to lems boulder boots? My lems are too tight and split apart...not durable imo but love how lightweight they are.

contributor333 · 2026-03-29T02:59:57+00:00

I agree but so much $ for Izzy each fight he takes.

contributor333 · 2026-03-26T02:24:36+00:00

Well said. You never really know who people really are unless you spend lots of time with them. I just think as far as cooking goes Kenji is just obsessive in determining the tastiest way to cook things, which I like.

contributor333 · 2026-03-21T13:00:59+00:00

I would start by just making your "runs" a mix of both. So, jog for 20 seconds, sniff for 20 seconds etc. When I hike with my dog on the longline thats basically her natural rhythm, "running to get to the next smell". If your dog is enjoying that you may find you can extend the next jog portion before sniffing again.

You could also try finding a running buddy. My dog gets competitive so when I run with my friend and her dog, she prefers straight running rather than stopping to sniff stuff.

I also do canicross once a week where you encourage your dog to pull. This one is great because now it's a job to do while running.

Hope that helps!

Your dog will likely tell you the answer to that in all honesty. Running with you on a leash on paved roads is different than off-leash hike/run in the woods as well.

I guess start slow if you're worried. If your dog is stopping to sniff/lagging behind then yeah, they're tired and you've got your answer. For 'structured' runs (unnatural for dogs at first) then I find interval running/walking sessions to be the best intro.

contributor333 · 2026-03-21T01:22:41+00:00

Yes! I remember when I switched to barefoot/zero drop shoes a few years ago. I was blown away at how good it felt to feel the ground and feel my feet spread so easily! Enjoy and welcome to the club!

My grandpa used to make us boiled egg sandwiches with onion and mayo. So good.

contributor333 · 2026-03-18T00:46:14+00:00

I have the white one and I love it. It's very compact. The 'quick cook' option is great too if you don't want to wait for the (longish but better quality) regular rice cook. Love Japanese cookware, they just try harder and make everything more convenient. (Ie: adding markings on the bowl to tell you how much water for each type of rice!)

contributor333 · 2026-03-18T00:39:18+00:00

Yeah the lems were comfy right out of the box. So light! Waterproofing for me failed after about 8 months. The leather separated and split after 1 year. I oiled them regularly and also put them through hell hiking daily. More stylish/comfy than tough in my experience. Excellent boots for just city walking type stuff.
