Thats exactly how I feel about heat.

I don’t shop at Costco as its a US brand. I shop at grocery stores, Canadian ones. It is a loss leader everywhere. They take the whole chickens that are damaged or are close to shelf life and roast them.

Yeah… American prices haven’t caught up with the rest of the world yet. As much as Trump has done to destroy your economy you’re still not paying anywhere near the price of things elsewhere. Going to take more loss of power for the US dollar for things to align.

But, I’ll bet that’s still cheaper than a whole chicken, raw… Right?

At 44, my doc keeps telling me I need to eat a better diet. His diet would break the damn bank… I have a family of three to feed.

Man they are $13.99 in BC now… But still hella cheaper than a raw roaster at $23

Yeah big banks in canada give like 0.1% interest, my credit union gives 0.3%

Rotisserie chicken is cheaper than a raw roasting chicken that you you need to make the same thing at home.

Rotisserie chickn $13.99, uncooked roaster is $23

What is gross is that rotisserie chicken is cheaper than a raw roaster.

No, but definitely not the first time this nonsense has come up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposal_for_the_Province_of_Toronto

And to be fair, nothing in the question specifies the language to continue the conversation in.

Sure it’s ESL class, but within the context of this question… No rules were broken.

Wait for the better holiday, Feb 15th, aka cheap chocolate day.

I’m going to follow up with a thought here.

Christopher = Christ like.

If opher means like… Then who is Nust in Nus’ culture? Their Christ?

Also I like how that parallels between the preferred names… Chris and Nus vs Christ and Nust.

Nustopher

Stood out for me because Im a Christopher.

Pi4 is better for anything with video as it has a a hardware decoder. They dropped the hardware decoder in the Pi5 and I think you need to buy an extra module to have one for them.

The differentiator is max speed in Canada. Regardless of how they are built. If you can exceed a certain speed, license required.

I stared at that logo trying to work out what it said for a bit… When I finally noticed that the domain in the link was what it said… I realised just how unreadable that logo is…

If you don’t need voice, there are a lot of options. Matrix has IRC support and encryption, and has voice options if you self host.

Riot is… A Discord clone without working voice and I found it to be an odd duck.

There’s RocketChat… More Slack like.

Mattermost.

I replaced my voice/video chats with Nextcloud Talk and/or Steam, based on the scenario. Outside of those, Matrix is good for community needs in my mind.

We interacted on the internet for years without discord.

It is far from essential.

Most of the american companies are using Chinese manufacturing for much of the devices. Fairphone is European, but same manufacturing sources.

In 2026, as a Canadian… Choosing between a country that is adopting nazi practices and threatening us with annexation, and one who has a questionable history but is overall doing more for climate change and global stability right now than the other… The choice is easy. Anything but american.

Sure, but then you are also not funding Google’s competition in order to help improve choice.

Buying second hand might make you feel better because you didn’t directly fund Google, but you’re still helping them maintain their position.
