Does anyone remember Moses meat shoes?

I bought a house with these and didn't realize it had this feature for like a year (batteries had died). Now I love it. I find myself taping every faucet it use and am annoyed when others don't turn on.

I actually bought a handfree soap dispenser to go next to it, which is a great combo. Preparing meat or something, I can clean my hands and tap sink with elbow and not worry about cross contamination of everything.

Nice review, I have a deft pro, how do you think it compares to that?

I moved to the US (California) for 3.5 years. It was actually a great experience. If you work in tech you should be able to make more money in the US and even in a HCOL city you should be able to save some. As other's mentioned the US is a very diverse place and you should be able to find a state/city/neighbourhood that matches your lifestyle and values.

Sponsorship for a green card is a very long process, and I don't think you can do it from a TN anyway, so you'd need to switch to an immigrant intent visa (H1-B, EB, etc.) The whole process can take years even for Canadian born people (if you are born in India or China you could wait decades)

Ultimately I decided to move back to Canada, being close to family was more important to me than making more money. I also didn't want to raise kids in the US.

More likely the ones left are on some work visa and do not have as much freedom to leave.

Lemmy feels very much like reddit right after digg v4 and I mean that in a good way.

We changed it recently already, I don't see why we can't again
