I was taught BEDMAS in school, so slightly different order. I was also taught that DM and AS are not specifically in that order, but rather left to right of the equation, in the same lesson. I’m not sure why some schools aren’t doing it that way.

If you’re using Safari you can still get uBO, it’s just called uBlock Origin Lite instead. It’s what I use, it’s quite good.

Those are on the cheap end for Canadians but they’re still decent. Specifically, Gibson’s Finest Rare 12 Year and JP Wisers Deluxe. There’s better stuff out there but for value for money, especially if it’s just for a cocktail anyway, they’re my go-to’s. Regular Canadian Club is one I tend to avoid but their 12 Year is really good for cheap whisky.

My favourite Canadians are all probably never going to the States but if you ever see Forty Creek Confederation Oak or Signal Hill whisky they’re my personal favourites.

Since the trade war I’ve been making Canadian old fashioneds and like them better actually.

Canadian whisky of choice, I tend towards either Gibsons or Wisers for cocktails but you can use any Canadian, then Dillons orange bitters, maple syrup, and a large ice cube. Garnish with whatever you like to garnish an old fashioned with. If it’s around Christmas I’ll char a cinnamon stick and put it in too. I’d like to get a cocktail smoker eventually as well.

I run the kitchen section of a grocery store so I get what you mean. I come home covered in grease every day and usually other food stuff too. A couple days ago I had a full case of soup explode on me, that was fun to try and clean. Thankfully it was refrigerated, not hot, so I didn’t get burned, but still, had to do the last couple hours of my day in very dirty clothes and the floor wasn’t super easy to clean either.

This was my exact thought too. Sometimes I think I’m the only person on Lemmy that doesn’t have an office job. If I did morning showers, I’d supposed to be spending my evening and night drenched in sweat and who knows what else from work? Doesn’t sound very pleasant.

I thought I was the only one. Genuinely my favourite theme they’ve used.

That system seems so alien to me, I can’t even imagine. When my wife gave birth, she lost a ton of blood, like, far more than normal. She ended up needing both an iron and blood transfusion, and we needed to stay for a few extra days. She got a ton of meds and got seen by several doctors. Plus my baby had a couple small issues too which needed to get treated. Everything worked out okay, and everyone’s healthy now, thankfully. We didn’t pay a single cent. It was all covered. I can’t imagine making those decisions thinking about how much it would cost. I remember shortly after birth we were looking at how much birth costs in the States, it was insane. I can’t remember how much now but it was just for regular birth, I’m sure all the extras we needed would’ve cost more.

Did you have to pay the difference out of pocket? Or is there a discounted price for insurance providers to pay that laypeople aren’t approved for?

Whenever I go to the doctor, hospital, etc I just give them my health card (which is freely provided to every Canadian citizen) and they punch in the number into their system, then that’s that. I don’t have to pay or contact insurance or anything. Some stuff doesn’t count such as the dentist but dental care is almost always provided through work benefits.

I rarely see it in Canada. I’ve only seen it at farmers markets. I did a quick search and apparently it is fully legal, just uncommon. As long as you either advertise the highest cost or clearly explain the different cost levels (like in the OP) it’s fine apparently. The more you know.

I couldn’t help but notice there’s a different price for cash and card, is that normal in the States?

As a Canadian I genuinely can’t tell if this is an exaggeration or not.

This is 100% true, most of my family lives nearby there. It was quite exciting that the neighbouring town was getting so much attention! Small town Newfoundland never gets mentioned in the news outside of local publications, so it was quite cool. It did lead to a huge spike in tourism which some people have differing opinions on, however.

Joke’s on you, I have the opposite problem where I don’t have enough anxiety which leads to me never properly preparing for anything because “I’ll deal with it when I get to it”. So I’m always present and in the moment without preparing for the future 😎

My grocery store has had these for a while. Dynamic price reductions are coming too. Instead of a set % off, it’ll calculate the most optimal percentage to take off based on popularity of the product, how long until expiry, etc. Just a heads up.

I’m currently watching Handmaid’s Tale for the first time (the show, not the movie. I haven’t seen the movie). I’ve never read the book either so no spoilers please. Anyway, it’s eerie how many things are lining up. Like you said, supposed to be a warning, not a guidebook.

Ah, good to know, thanks. Not sure I’ll ever need the info but I’m always curious on what’s popular, even if it’s not something I’m interested in. I know of both artists but don’t know much music from either and don’t care to. But it’s cool to see what’s seen as better or worse by the general fanbase.

Which is supposed to be the better album?

I don’t listen to either artist and don’t care for either of them from what I’ve heard on the radio and at malls so I’m not the best person to judge. I’m curious what your thoughts are though (and what the general consensus is).
