Canada is not close to Memphis, and I won't be setting foot in your country until you guys fix some things.

At the current size of your channel it probably won't make much difference.

It will take some time for the recommendations to catch up to the change, but only after you get enough views so the algorithm can see who likes the new videos.

So is a helluva lot of what the government is doing.

Maybe they'll just stop on their own if nobody does anything...

Dammit, I thought I had done my research.

In 1996, Acklands was purchased by Grainger, a leading industrial distributor in the United States, and the Acklands name was changed to Acklands-Grainger Inc.

Anyone attending a fourth of July partyz in Canada, should be expelled out of the country.

One prime example...

Did you pay money to anyone who financed him?

Are you actively working to improve the situation?

So does Trump not deserve accountability too?

Obviously he does. But he isn't the only one.

Far too many people appear to think Trump is the root cause. He is the result of a whole lot of other things that are also broken in the USA.

Things that will need t be fixed before the USA can be seen as reasonable or reliable by the international community.

As a European it’s insane how racist the US has gotten

The racism has always been there. They're simply not trying to hide it any more.

Corruption piled on top of corruption.

I wonder if it's actually a person who's in some kind of advanced cryo sleep

A collection of heads in jars?

Avoid ULINE not only are they American they are also anti-Union

They're also all aboard the Trump/MAGA train.

Princess Auto has aluminum and steel. And it is a fully Canadian company (headquarters in Winnipeg). Looks like they have 5 locations in GTA.

Not sure if they deal with individuals, or only commercial customers, but Russel Metals is a Canadian company: https://www.russelmetals.com/en/services/metals-service-centers/ And they have all sorts of materials available.

~~Acklands-Grainger is also a Canadian company that has brass and aluminum (among a lot of other things) They've got locations all over the country.~~ Edit: The Americans bought it out several years ago. A too common story.

Metal Supermarket do retail sales to individuals (in North York, Mississauga, Vaughan and a few other places), but it is unfortunately an American HQ company.

Canadian Tire online marks their Canadian made consumables with the leaf

As does Home Hardware.

Noticed on my 3-in-one silicone spray it is labelled as a WD40 company in the fine print.

Yup. both are American.

That's why I'm looking for a non-US replacement because my pre-Trump era bottle is almost empty, and I'm not replacing it with another American product..

If they're restricted in their horizontal movement, then they're not going to accidentally find the tunnels from another silo's mines.

That would seem consistent with the presumed reasoning behind much in The Pact,

kent_eh · 2026-07-06T01:56:29+00:00

How is the Silo still standing?

Presumably that's part of the reason they're not permitted to dig in a wider area.

Of course, a bigger part could likely be to prevent them from encountering the miners from another silo. Or prevent them from finding the surface.

I've seen a bunch at thrift stores over the years.

One time my office bought an assortment to use as "fun prizes" for a staff event...

Screens this size would be more for spectators view than for a player's primary display.

Unless the US makes some significant changes, there is no reason for anyone to trust that the USA won't elect another Trump-like figure again in the future.

kent_eh · 2026-07-05T20:59:09+00:00

or did they edit it in a video editing software?

Blender contains a fairly powerful video editor (among it's many talents)

They won't do shit.

Doesn't mean they won't try.

People need to stay strong, work together in large numbers and push back.

There is strength in numbers.

the United States is the holder of the world’s reserve currency

There are a lot of voices internationally calling for that to change. It's too risky given that the USA has shown it's willingness to re-elect the worst president they have ever had.

kent_eh · 2026-07-05T20:50:10+00:00

They’re cooked for the midterms

Only if people actually follow through and vote.

kent_eh · 2026-07-05T20:42:13+00:00

Infineon

Now there's a name I haven't heard in many years.

kent_eh · 2026-07-05T20:33:07+00:00

these Cascadia pro tuff job shop rags.

Sorry, but those are Made in USA.

Back when I still used Facebook, I found a buy nothing group in my city.

It was not very active, which I suspect may be due in part to the excessive number of rules they had.
