FWIW thanks to your comment my view of those two pairs is now the same; one is advertised (touristy?, free shuttle from Canada place anyone?) and the other is something you have to stumble upon and enjoy (hiking for when it came to Lynn Canyon bridge, or in this case scrolling Lemmy)

Must be very recent if so, did it that way in TarTube about a month ago or less and worked fine

Knuckleheads (I'll have to link it because it's too vague and other garbage shows up in search these days https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu8t9UfJcTxlnMyu9uBcbTQ ) watch it every so often when we don't know what to watch and want something "light" and short.

I have however DLed all the episodes already, as I was concerned it may end up getting removed since Google is doing stupid shit.

I have learned that some people do like to crisp them, whether that's intentional or not 😂 glances at my partner

Have you ever burnt tea (to dust from liquid and melted kettle handle in the process) while reheating it?
'tis but one of my life's achievements

Looks good enough to me and besides, you may decide to paint it with some paint that applies a relatively thick coat, which would end up filling those tiny gaps anyway. Anywho, keep going good work!

Never let perfection stand in the way of good.

In NA or somewhere else?

And AFAIK you can't just get a job at Costco anymore (unless it's something very specific that requires certain education /skill?), you have to work 1-2 years as contractor and hope to get an offer.

If you know what's worth getting and what isn't at Costco, membership is still a good deal and if you know your spend, even just 3k a year, it's worth being executive member over regular, as you get it back (60+) in cashback, but they are enshittifying at breakneck speed.

Literally anything is better than what that wankstain has done. But IIRC he has said a little while back he would actually go listen to people in Clackton and then represent their needs in parliament.

Mmmmm nice slice of sourdough with duck fat (goose fat may also do, but duck is better) and onions with a pinch of salt 🤤

Being good at some computer games (not just flight simulators) is helpful in getting through the recruitment process. I'd say a mix of having good orientation and implementing and executing a strategy is required at the very least (and sticking to it, which I didn't do lol), which you definitely get/practice in games.

However the actual training process can cut those numbers dramatically, but I wouldn't be surprised if they ignored obvious red flags with some of these 'gamers' just to pump those numbers up.

 

I wonder whether the major providers will use this as an excuse to jack up the prices, internet specifically, or try to be more competitive. Telus was ready to buy me out of contract, install a line that doesn't exist and offer month to month from get go, so logically I would assume it could help drive prices down, but then again greed beats logic.

At the very least I hope the cellphone plan changes should help those who don't usually shop around and don't sign up for plans when providers offer to "cover" the connection fee or w/e they call that bullshit.
