  • Have you tried dry shampoo? It helps to extend the time between hair washing.

  • Better start stocking up on leeches- next he'll be promoting the 4 humours theory.

  • Get yourself a vacuum sealer for foods you can repack and freeze (ie: meat), and get items you need smaller quantities of at a local grocery store. Costco's pharmacy has a very low filling fee, and the optical department has great prices. And, of course, you can get paper products.

    I live in a 2 person household and use whichever is most sensible for what we need. In this economy, value for our money is important.

  • A teacher should not be bringing or consuming edibles on the job. It is negligence and something you can lose your employment and license over. The fact that students ate them makes it worse, but it was never okay to have them at work to begin with.

  • Canada phased out the penny from 2013-2013. It was an adjustment, but it was not chaos. Pennies of certain periods are still taken as legal tender and accepted by banks.

    Per Wikipedia:

    "Cash transactions in Canada are now rounded to the nearest multiple of 5 cents.[54] The rounding is not done on each individual item, but on the total amount, with totals being rounded to the nearest multiple of 5, i.e., totals ending in 1 or 2 round down to 0, totals ending in 3, 4, 6, or 7 round to 5, and totals ending in 8 or 9 round up to 10.[54] This is typical of cash rounding methods (not specific to Canada). While existing pennies will remain legal tender indefinitely, those in circulation were withdrawn on February 4, 2013.[55][48][56]

    Based on technical specifications provided by the Mint Act, only pennies produced from 1982 to their discontinuation in 2013 are still legally "circulation coins".[57] The Currency Act says that "A payment in coins [...] is a legal tender for no more than [...] twenty-five cents if the denomination is one cent."[58] Nevertheless, once distribution of the coin ceased, vendors were no longer expected to return pennies as change for cash purchases and were encouraged to round purchases to the nearest five cents.[59] Goods can still be priced in one-cent increments, with non-cash transactions like credit cards being paid to the exact cent.[60] "

  • You can supplement light with growing lights. Grass requires both moisture and light to be successful.

  • 10/10 Perfect form ❤️

  • Yes

  • Interestingly enough, I looked this up recently in my not AI mushroom field guide.

  • If you wish to immigrate, navigating government pages and submitting a seemingly endless sequence of documentation will become your reality for years of your life. Getting used to it now will save you future hardship.

  • Do you live near a university with a dental program? You can usually get cheap work done by student dentists, but there is a longer wait for appointments (UBC has such a program : https://www.dentistry.ubc.ca/treatment/how-to-become-a-patient/).

    Not sure if you're in the lower mainland area or not. It might be worth checking out what's available to you in your region.

  • You should watch the original Jurassic Park movie - it's a great film. Jurassic World was a soulless reboot.

  • Pruning, when done with care and strategy, is good for plants. They need their dead and diseased branches cut off so they can redirect their nutrients to better things. Some plants grow too tall for their own good and can fall/break. Sometimes one plants' growth hinders the growth of others by choking out light and nutrients. Lastly, safety of passage ways and stairs is important, as OP has noted already.

    Many people do not research the plants and trees they plant in their yard. It's important to know how they grow (vine, shrub, etc) and how big they can become. My parents wound up with a free grape vine on their back fence because the neighbour planted them. They didn't mind the free grapes, but they resented the pruning and sprawl of the plant. Part of being a good neighbour is being considerate to neighbours when choosing foliage for their property.

    If you don't like pruning, don't buy plants or trees that need it. You can rehome plants that you no longer want. It's reasonably easy to find local flowers and ground cover for your respective biome that will contribute to biodiversity.

  • The photo is a bit blurry, so it's unclear what the white specks are. With limited information, it could possibly be

    1. Sun scalding (sun burns for plants)- shade cloth can be used to reduce sun exposure
    2. Insect infestation- check the back of the leaves and stems for unwanted pests
    3. Fungal infestation- humidity plus heat in late summer can cause fungal issues
  • Alberta is actively destroying their healthcare now. It likely won't survive Smith's term.

  • Unfortunately not all administrators care, and some can be part of the problem. The school I work at has some endemic culture issues because of the "old boys" club that has been formed by the principal. I am glad that you have supportive administration, but that is less common than it should be.

  • It definitely has high school or college film "quality" to it. But if you're looking for a film to heckle with friends, it will be sufficiently entertaining.

  • The film makes substantial changes to the ending and some of the main plot though. The novel makes no mention of credit card companies, and the film ending is an atrocity.

    Edit: this was supposed to be for the comment thread about Fight Club but apparently posted independently. Apologies for the confusion.

  • It's not likely this is real. Quora has (had?) issues involving incentivizing shit posting questions with monetary rewards.

  • ICE can send him to that shiny new concentration camp and keep him there. Or maybe he'll be lucky enough to be made stateless by sending him to an unfortunate African country. Peterson has done so much harm to the LGBTQ+ community and young men that he deserves no less.
