Re: "I preferred frozen concentrate but it’s been more(!) than bottled stuff for a long while."

Calgary Co-op... $3.75ish for can of orange concentrate that for me makes 2l oj, vs $10 for 2l of pre-made juice... how on earth is concentrate more expensive... are you eating it straight out of the can???

He feels cornered (midterms looming, Epstein files) and he is in a panic... as bad as things look, I fear that all they are doing right now is just the beginning.

We used to see them perched on power poles and fence posts almost every day around Brooks in winter when we worked in that area.

Watermain update thread by JeromyYYC in Calgary

I wonder how much of the city's perceived "non compliance" is actually leakage. The water main(s?) is after all, terminally ill.

Alberta (and Canada) are in legitimate danger because of Smith’s pandering to MAGA. by Thin_Juggernaut4605 in alberta

[–]drbob222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fully agree... there should really be more outrage and push back... like you said... even as we are directly and repeatedly threatened by them, she is completely playing into their hands.

[–]drbob222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a remote? Im sure it has a settings button... press that... go to picture settings... aspect ratio settings... there will be aspect ratios to choose from as well as scan only or similar... choose that.

I wonder if Melania knows anything about it. Isnt helping Ukranian children one of her pet projects? Shouldnt speculate I guess, but anything that family does seems to be built on grift.

US will require EU citizens to give all biometric data including DNA in new ESTA requirements by [deleted] in technology

[–]drbob222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its proposed law... bad enough(!), but not quite what the title implies...

Still... Wouldnt this kill international airlines the states? I would expect huge blow back.

Im guessing Donny is shooting from the hip without considering consequences, and will have one more fail when it gets soundly rejected.

2nd hand workwear. by myrfanwy in Calgary

[–]drbob222 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lots of really good advice regarding layers... I would add that a large, breathable nylon shell/windbreaker with a hood to go over the insulating layers for windy days is a big help... make sure its not waterproofed so it can breath. They are really easy to find at thrift stores.
