I’m gunna have to try the flour… I tried with canned chick peas and they were grainy and fell apart.

I’ve had dried chickpeas in my pantry for years but rarely find the time coordination to soak and prep a day beforehand too 🤷‍♂️

Don’t need to go that far just vote PP if you want no more healthcare!

Air-gapped local security system if you give a shit about privacy at all.

Home assistant and many other options to provide a nice interface.

Anything hooked up to the internet and “insert company’s” servers is a privacy nightmare and more trouble than its worth

There should be a discounted rate for island residents and atleast 25% reserved space for residents. Our taxes pay for this shit and its essential travel. We can’t even get to and from our home without beating thru a crowd of tourists.

Wouldn’t tariffs encourage people to shop local small businesses instead? Right-wing fear mongering

CO-OP’s house brands co-op gold and centsibles are often Made in Canada.

However, I just checked the bag of their raisin bran cereal I have in the cupboard and unfortunately it is a product of the USA… probably made in the same plant as Two Scoops. I imagine we may see more of their line shift to Canada now though.

Ya holy fuck tell the kids no once in awhile folks

Dang I just checked and it looks like they do not have a mini offering yet; however, Rolgear screwdrivers were invented and made in Canada! Incredibly smooth ratcheting and high quality bits. They carry them at KMS tools so test one out next time you’re there, its a cool invention!

No. Next question.

Ya seems needed IMO.

Still feels good to be downsized to a fully offgrid small solar setup finally though. Really made me realize just how power hungry some NA households can be.

Anyone know where Life brand at SDM is made? Their fabric bandaids are pretty decent quality and cheap. I don’t have a Shopper’s in my city anymore though so I can’t check and it doesn’t say online…

Lets fight stupid with stupid and rename the Alaskan Highway!

I think this is spoken from the point of view of an American? Canada can’t nationalize American companies…

Canada could however fund its own federal credit system to compete and add a big fat tariff on MC and Visa tx’s if they wanted to force people to adopt it rapidly.

Wow… That BCCDC vaccination coverage chart linked to in the article is honestly disappointing. I did not realize parents here were this stupid these days. I mean, you hear about antivax misinformation taking hold in places like Kentucky and Alberta, but come on BC parents. Do better. Snap out of the f*cebook conspiracy brainwashing.

Literally the whole province is like this, not just the 2 (conservative) northern regions singled out in the article. The trend in the data holds across all the regions and all are dangerously below herd immunity? I feel like thetyee likes to throw a bit of bias where it is convenient for them. Just something to keep in mind folks, I like thetyee too! But its important to recognize the biases in the media we read.

The province-wide avg for measles coverage age 7 is 72.4 in 2023. For comparison in 2013 it was 90.9. Downward trend holds for all regions, with the 2 northern regions singled out having slightly lower coverage to begin with and end with.

Side note: why is it that gov’t sites that are clearly being updated never even have frigging https setup or basic mobile RWD? I had to turn on desktop mode just to view their website properly 🤦‍♂️

Wow, love that they went noJS, ad and tracking free recently too!

So, I decided to take a leap of faith. The patrons got us almost all the way there, so let’s remove the ads from the website and go for it. Not only that, but let’s remove the cookies, tracking scripts, and every scrap of Javascript from the site—just pure text and images.

Glad they are only targeting west coast states with the ad campaign so that hopefully newcomers have similar ideals to BC already.

In other words, glad they aren’t recruiting in Florida.

I find their oat milk just does not foam worth a damn though unfortunately for us cappuccino and caffè latte lovers

Jitsi is in browser, no app needed

Really I love saying it! Ploopy.

Its too expensive to eat these days no matter where you shop, so I just switched to absorbing sunlight for energy instead 🌻

Thanks Galen Weston 🙄
