They're literally giving the richest family in the province 45 million in "tariff relief funds" over the next three years.
The Irvings own New Brunswick, except maybe a little patch in the north-west that's owned by the McCains. Two of the top ten richest families in Canada, living in one of the poorest provinces. Weird coincidence.
Xcode is an IDE, this version being released in March.
The Ides of March is the day Julius Caesar was assassinated.
I think that's all there is to the joke, unless I'm also missing something.
A friend of mine is very much the big tiddy goth GF stereotype, and she often shares screenshots of the messages men send her on dating apps.
Men are fucked up in general, but holy fuck do they get ridiculous if they think they remotely have a chance with a goth baddie.
I think this might be the laziest one yet.
If you go about it with curiosity, especially if you focus on recipes instead of ethics, you're probably good. Sharing food is such a big social thing that you get a bit ostracized for when you're vegan, so it truly is nice to share recipes with earnest people like you seem to be.
Now if only I can figure out vegan meals that would do well in my smoker!
I've never used a smoker so I'm not quite familiar with the process, but my first instinct would be trying something with seitan. I did find some recipes with just a quick search.
If you do smoke some seitan, feel free to invite me, I'll bring drinks! :P
I've never made anyone become vegan, but a lot of my friends have definitely opened up to incorporating more vegetarian or vegan meals into their diets, which I do count as a small win.
A friend who used to be very much the meat & potatoes type has recently been texting me excitedly about the new vegan recipes he's been trying out. He still regularly eats meat, but hey, it's something.
I've been vegan for nearly ten years, I dread any time the topic comes up with people who aren't also vegan.
It usually becomes a pointless debate where I either have to heavily self-censor, or end up hurting the feelings of people who eat animal products. It's always the same conversations I've already had hundreds of times, no one's gonna change my mind and I probably won't change theirs either.
Inside of me are two wolves. One is an enemy of the state, the other is a people pleaser.
Why people would use ChatGPT to ignore reality is beyond me, that's why God invented drugs!
It's important to make sure reality is compatible with your hardware.
Even ignoring that most people couldn't maintain their cars for shit; people always seem to forget that they're still super dependent on petrol and the oil industry. How is that in any way better than relying on governments to provide public transit?
I had to drive around 1500km this past weekend in a rented mini-van. I don't own a car, so that's probably more distance than I've covered in a motor vehicle in the past 5 years.
Today, back home and on my way to work, there was rather torrential rain, but I was still so thankful to be back on the bike.
(Happy National Acadian Day to all Acadians!)
Craquez-vous une Alpine, mettez du 1755 ou les Hay Babies, pis faites du tapage pour laisser savoir aux Anglais qu'on est still là!
Two cappuccinos I made one after the other in my café today. This couple came in and wanted large cappuccinos, so I made them in our 16oz cups. Not my cup of tea (nor coffee) but if I can make what you want, I will! Unfortunely, my muscle memory is attuned to steaming/pouring 8oz capps, and so the first one came out somewhat more phallic than I intended 😅
The only thing worse than a shitty pour is a shitty pour in the same order as a drink you nailed.
I'm just curious! I'd love to know what type of cafés anyone here is working at.
My current café is kinda old-school Italian style coffee-wise but much more laid back and add some hippy-granola vibes for good mesure. Our beans are roasted in-house, and pretty much all the food we sell is made in-house as well, down to the sauces, and anything we don't make ourselves is bought locally.
I've worked in two other cafés prior to this one. The first was a kinda upscale third-wave spot that mostly attracted yuppies, and the equipment far surpassed the training of any of the staff. We had pourovers on the menu and maybe 1 and a half employees actually knew how to brew with a V60.
The second was a hardline traditional Italian-style café, which, if you're familiar with the coffee culture in Canada (where I live) vs Italy, is a silly idea. A lot of people here only know Tim Horton's or Starbucks, especially in a mostly rural province like where I'm situated. You have to meet people where they're at; scoffing at people for wanting sweetener in their latte isn't likely to encourage them to jump into the coffee world in whichever way one deems proper. It'll only encourage them to stick to Timmies or Starbucks instead of checking out local cafés with actually good coffee.
(For some context, I live in Canada, beer labels are bilingually English & French here)
Most cyclists I know want more people on the bike paths.
I've never heard a driver bemoan a lack of traffic.
