So rural Ontario is the same as rural everywhere else in Canada. Cool.

Carney is slashing federal health spending (but who notices?) in c/canada@lemmy.ca
[–] cheeseburger@piefed.ca 1 points 3 months ago

No slashing is going on. The programs have built-in expiry dates, some this year, some next year, and one doesn't even have an expiry. The programs can be extended or not, but no one has said what will happen either way. This is said in the article; it is a sensationalist headline and article.

Not just youtubers, that's how my little brother and all his friends still "smile" in every picture they're in. They're all millennials, so I think millenials invented it, especially since they were the ones who blew up on YouTube to begin with. Now they're passing it on the the Zoomers and beyond!

The government does not have to actively axe most of these programs. With the exception of PHAC, they are all slated to expire this year or next.

Carney’s team can simply let them all lapse, despite the continuing and acute health needs throughout the country. And as far as we can tell, letting them quietly expire seems to be the Carney team’s current plan.

Federal programs with existing expiry dates is not the same as slashing, and the source is vibes, wtf. So someone bring this up in QP and so they can't "let them quietly expire", but there is no slashing going on.

I do that too, but also if you enable tracking votes (I'm using Voyager) then you basically are tasking positive and negative encounters and you get an idea what a thread will be like just by looking. Example, you and OP appear to be nice peeps:

Canadian comparison: $6.79 USD/gal(us) is $2.49 CAD/L, currently.

Gas around here in Edmonton, Alberta is between $1.45 CAD/L and $1.72 CAD/L depending how hard you look.

That would be between $3.95/gal(us) and $4.68/gal(us)

8865 Classic Technics Set Rebuilt from the Tubs (lemmy.nz)

Update to my previous post where I spent a few days to dig up the parts for this set I got in the late 80s or early 90s from my parents.

It was super fun to build because of the challenge; there are only 24 steps in its construction. So many of the steps are multi part where you need to look at the picture and figure it out. I made a few mistakes and had to back track.

The car has working steering, 3 gear transmission and neutral, an engine with working pistons as you push it around, adjustable seats, headlights that flip up and down, and independent suspension!

Fun times. My family is marveling at it, and my boys love how different it is to modern technics.

Highly recommend trying to get your hands on one to put together.

Reclaiming an old set from The Tubs (lemmy.nz)
 

I spent the weekend and today (Remembrance Day, Nov 11 in Canada) combing through old tubs of Lego for all the parts from a beloved set I had in the late 80s, early 90s. Only 3 parts missing though another dozen hours of searching might fix that - subbing for colour in the meantime.

Inspired by a video I came across where the subject is building a 5x scale version of the preceding set from 3D printed parts (here). I want to show my kids the power of patience and nostalgia; also I just want to see the set IRL again.

Should be pretty easy to guess which set this is.
