Most of their products were just not that good, or just didn't hold up to modern standards. For this faux meat category, it feels like they were competitive before 2020, but since then, there are way better products from other brands with less processed, better ingredients like Big Mountain Foods, and Yves stuff just doesn't even come close to them IMHO.

The upside here is that a lot of precious shelf space in the vegan meat/cheese section is going to open up for these other Canadian brands to fill. Here's hoping that it gets filled with better quality products from Canadian companies.

That's a terrible way to do it because you and me and 99.999% of the population are not qualified to make the decision about that and understand the very difficult but ethical rationale behind it.

Thanks for confirming you're arguing in bad faith.

How is that fear unfounded when a politician can snap their fingers and target your research with this populist bullshit? There already is a process to ensure this research is justified. We shouldn't allow political interference in science. It sets a horrible precedent and opens the door for worse. Ford's actions undermine public trust in science, which is terrible (look south of the border).

That's CRTC logic!

I agree with the first part, but paying for the commute doesn't make sense because YOU choose where you live. Your employer doesn't get a say at all in where you live. It's not part of the job. Also, if employers were paying for your commute, good luck getting a job if you live in the suburbs and have to commute, because now you're more expensive to hire than people who live closer.

The whole interior design and staging looks cheap.

To use Wero, both the sender and recipient must have an account at one of our bank members in Germany, Belgium or France (source)

No Canadian bank or credit union offers JCB cards.

Basically the only option is Interac, but it only works inside Canada. If you want to use your Canadian debit card internationally, it's going to go through an American payment network like Cirrus, Maestro, or the Plus network (ie. MasterCard or Visa's network).

Super insightful, thanks. Didn't think about any of that.

 

In a nutshell, the tiers are:

  • Product of Canada - Very best - Produced here and 98% of ingredients are from Canada.
  • Made in Canada - 2nd best - "Made in Canada means the last substantial transformation of the product occurred in Canada"

Others:

  • "Roasted and blended in Canada" to describe coffee since the coffee beans are always imported
  • "Distilled in Canada" to describe bottled water that was distilled in Canada
  • "Canned in Canada" to describe a food that was canned in Canada
  • "Processed in Canada" to describe a food which has been entirely processed in Canada
  • "Prepared in Canada" to describe a food which has been entirely prepared in Canada
  • "Packaged in Canada" to describe a food which is imported in bulk and packaged in Canada

I'm thinking about moving my router to be a VM on a server in my homelab. Anyone have any experience to share about this? Any downsides I haven't thought of?

Backstory: My current pfSense router box can't keep up with my new fibre speeds because PPPOE is single threaded on FreeBSD, so as a test, I installed OpenWRT in a VM on a server I have and using VLANs, got it to act as a router for my network. I was able to validate it can keep up with the fibre speeds, so all good there. While shopping for a new routerboard, I was thinking about minimizing power and heat, and it made me realize that maybe I should just keep the router virtualized permanently. The physical server is already on a big UPS, so I could keep it running in a power outage.

I only have 1 gbps fibre and a single GbE port on the server, but I could buff the LAN ports if needed.

Any downsides to keeping your router as a VM over having dedicated hardware for it?

 

Makes zero sense. The provincial government should stick to provincial matters instead of trying this dumb populist play to win rural votes by sticking their fingers into municipal matters.

I'll just say it - it's a Russian propaganda community. Is there any reason this community needs to exist on Lemmy.ca? Is there a rule against blatant astroturfing / propaganda / misinformation? I don't think the 5 rules in the sidebar are going to be enough to stop an army of trolls:

No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, > or xenophobia. Be respectful. Everyone should feel welcome here. No porn. Use the NSFW tag when needed. No Ads / Spamming. Bot accounts need to be flagged as such in their settings.

Maybe time to get ahead of it?

 

The 2TB is on sale too. All sizes keep going up and down on price, with this being the ATL. This was on sale for this price at the start of the week, then it went up to like $95, so who knows what the real regular price is.

 

I preordered a Seasonic Vertex PX-1200 (aka. 1200P, Platinum) back in January and Seasonic told me the Vertex series would be widely available that month. It's now July and while the Gold (GX series) Vertex PSUs have been released, there's no signs that the P series ever shipped.

Anyone have any idea what's up with that? Are they actually going to ship or are they going to cancel the product line?
