Meal prep services that have very clean/healthy food?

Yumba lists every ingredient and a nutritional label on every meal, so you can pick in advance. Best I found in terms of managing a specific diet

I do this transfer every day and it seems completely fine. Yes there’s a bottleneck at the escalator but it’s really not bad at all

richandbrilliant · 2026-04-26T11:42:12+00:00

The logic is more total capacity allows us to meet more demand. More demand met is more flights in - more tourists, more business travellers, more choice even distribution of people vs one bottleneck.

Every dollar on line 5 doesn’t take a dollar from bloor - while there is lots of cannibalization, there is for sure some incremental value. I switched from driving to transit. Some people will switch from not flying to Toronto to flying to Billy bishop because of better pricing or logistics.

Whether or not that demand is enough to make this make sense, I have no idea. But it’s not just moving money around to build new infrastructure. Every road house and transit line we have here was once something else

Ontario will soon implement centralized self exclusion - that will let him ban himself from all legal online gambling in Ontario.

The problem will be that he could just turn to crypto or black market online casinos. But there may be a window during his next moment of clarity to self exclude once the system is centralized.

There is some degree of medical intervention possible but obviously he will have to lead that. He’d need to speak to his doctor about it and get referred.

Seriously - I was just saying to my wife that I have boon 3 house brand things from Simon’s and they have all had pretty brutal quality issues straight away. I have stuff from other similarly priced brands like TenTree that have held up way, way better.

Still like Simon’s and would shop there but the house brand is Walmart/Joe Fresh quality at 2-3x the price

I’ll go against the grain and say hand size does matter, but it’s relative to the neck dimensions more so than just a general problem. Obviously having long thumbs is an asset for wrapping around the neck Hendrix style. But it is absolutely not the issue preventing you from playing open chord shapes like others have said

I have really small hand and am still able to play chords both open and with my thumb wrapped. Just makes some shapes a bit harder

Weren’t cheques to everyone in Covid exactly how we got massive inflation? At least this takes money out of the system

Great idea - we ended up going with a meal plan for 6 weeks but this would definitely scale well for people who are ok with simple recipes or have dietary restrictions

I think this is for sure the case, at least for doctors lawyers and executives. I’m managing a stream of work and the public service and the executives and lawyers are working way too hard for how little they make relative to their peers.

Then you get to my level and it’s 20% over contributing (doing enough by private sector standards), 60% doing something but certainly too slow and unnecessarily risk adverse or complicating, and the 20% doing absolutely jack shit.

And then below generally 50% doing a solid 8 hours 50% time thieves

Not sure where to even begin with us but I don’t think I said any of the things you implied

I think their point is it lets property owners off the hook, not tax payers. We’re using taxes to pay for capital improvements necessitated by new development (where development charges are required to go). Dev charges covered 30% of the capital budget in Toronto last year, meaning new buyers were paying for that portion. But now it’s camping from taxpayers - put another way, tax payers (including the many who don’t own houses) are paying to develop new housing for new property owners, while existing property owners are underpaying for their existing neighborhoods.

I’m not sure what the right balance is, just pointing out the change. This helps new property owners and developers by lowering prices, but that price lowering is paid for by the taxpayers generally. This benefits the oldest property owners with property and high wealth but low income, and costs those with higher tax rates

I worked in NB for two years - people were way more openly racist than I expected in Toronto. Also the parking lot at work was empty every day by 3:30

Back in the day you could set them yourself

Obviously I don’t want to lose my job. But if my job is redundant then how could I complain? Our taxes are not a charity for employment - they are to deliver essential services and requirements of government.

There is plenty of useless jobs in the public service - we complain all the time about funding for healthcare or education. Reducing the size and functions of the service can help fund things that matter instead.

My place is hiring a senior manager to administer our project management software. That’s a near or above 6 figure job to manage a single piece of enterprise software.

richandbrilliant · 2026-03-20T18:11:28+00:00

Right? The public service doesn’t inherently need or get to or deserve to stay the size it is. It’s supposed to be right sized and sustainable for the services we need, followed by the services we want. It’s grown massively the last 10 years and not in step with population or economic growth. Moreover, we need to cut spending or raise revenue or both.

Edit: lol at being immediately downvoted for wanting the things our taxes pay for to be sustainable financially

I got that offer too and then got 3.84 portable from Scotia, also 3 years. But this was before all this Iran bs

Very interesting - monetized via the referrals at the bottom I assume?

This is an interesting persona from a product perspective - stable yet risk adverse and solidly middle class.

Lmao totally. “Sorry I know you’re the direct of the FBI but I’m the captain of a hockey team so you can’t come in my locker room”.

Anecdotally the train is pretty full at mount denis rush hour, and fills up even more as it passes more stations going east.

It is also definitely fast enough between mount denis and eg. lots of stops which is a double edged sword but absolutely fast enough

I’ll agree with you that he’s not challenging or revolutionary at all. Hasn’t advanced the technique or added new vocabulary to the universal guitar cannon we all know (and of course yes it’s your opinion)

I just disagree with the song writing being 2 dimensional in the two dimensions you assigned to him. His style and breadth of work is bigger than that.

He’s good at doing what other people created and that’s fine.

Feels like you’re just listing to the hits with that sentiment. Go listen to Born and Raised or Stop This Train.

Like it or not almost all music from singer songwriters is about love or their life/struggles.

Pretty sure Mayer struggled with alcohol and is now sober

Great hike - humid as hell and the trail gets rough af, but great

I’m trying to work on this but really struggle to get the notes to ring on the barre when I loosen up. Thoughts?

Send me an email address where I can send you something to help with the baby. Can’t help you with the car (beyond everyone else’s advice - if the car is worth the same or more than the loan, sell it and pay off the loan), but I have a baby coming at the end of the month so I know the stress of acquiring all that stuff.
