@PrairieVeteran An example, buying a bicycle and bicycle parts was much cheaper from the UK, with air transport, delivered in less than a week than the same thing from the US and ground shipping and twice as long.

Everyone is dropping to their knees over Carnage cozying up to the UK and members of the EU.
But answer me this, "How is it cheaper for the consumer to ship product halfway around the world than it is to simply truck it across our border to the US?" 🤭

@oelma__ I still do, but less and less inclined because many just walk through without an acknowledgement, let alone a thank you. Simple etiquette of a thank you costs one nothing.

@LauraBabcock Not practical. 27 small countries who still can’t overcome their own protectionism to fully get along. Sovenia, Hungary say are never going to agree with a country 7000km away. Do you really think their farmers are going to welcome an agriculture sector the size of ours.

@ClownWorld Guys like that are why I ride solo most of the time. I’m aware of my surroundings and try to be a good road user but at that the same time there’s seems to always be someone who wants to “ teach me a lesson” simply because I’m on a bike.

There’s a bike lane right next to them, but these cyclists are riding side by side in the car lane blocking traffic. After getting stuck behind them, the driver switches into the bike lane to pass and says something 🔊 😆

If you know me you know I’ve always been supportive of women wearing anything they want at any age. My convictions have just been challenged. Crop tops can NOT be worn with neck waddle! 😂

@LeafandThistle It’s one of those things where you think how easy it looks but have to appreciate how difficult it actually is at that level. Women’s world champs are right now in Calgary on TSN. Men’s is upcoming on the 27th in Utah, presumably also on TSN

@gotrice2024 She needs an EpiPen stat. By the look of those lips, she is having a severe allergic reaction to shellfish 😂

This influencer is a self proclaimed foodie and she gives her expert opinion on food served at local favorite spots. The only problem is, she promotes how good the food is and she doesn’t even eat it. You can see her pretend to bite this lobster roll while she claims how delicious and yummy it is.
If she doesn’t like the food she’s reviewing, what’s the point of hew review, would you go to a restaurant she recommends?

This woman was sent a new product by a company to review for her social media channel. The only problem with this new high protein coffee product is that no matter what she does to it, it still tastes so awful it’s almost inedible. She thought it may have just been her so she gave some to her boyfriend to see what his opinion was. It was so bad for him that he even thought he had to lie about it because he knows it’s for one of her reviews. Since many of these influencers are paid to do these reviews is it safe to say they will promote anything no matter how bad it is because they are making money?

@CDNPolicyHawk More trade bit not membership. Its a quaint idea, but impratical. Can you imagine 27 European countries deciding Canadian policy, especially around things like agriculture which Canada has a massive sector. Farmers in Belgium protecting against Canadian wheat….

@amazing_physics The value of the iron in each of those items remains the same. The value is utility that iron has been transformed into and the cost of transformation and what someone is willing to pay for that utility.
English
This is a 1000-gram iron bar. In its raw form, it’s worth around $100.
If it’s turned into horseshoes, its value rises to about $250.
If it’s made into sewing needles, its value jumps to roughly $70,000.
If it’s crafted into watch springs and gears, it can be worth around $6 million.
And if it’s transformed into precision laser components, like those used in lithography, its value can reach $15 million.
Your value is not defined only by what you are made of, but by how well you shape your potential into something extraordinary.

@minwiswip Still on big golf in ST echo chamber. Golf would actually benefit from ST. A lot of golfers would play as early as possible so being able get out an hour earlier would only benefit golf courses. They also charge more for morning than twilight so it’s more lucrative for them.
English
YES.
PERMANENT STANDARD TIME is the way.
Centuries/Millennia on Standard Time & there's still 24 hrs per day. Humans/Flora/fauna know best no matter the latitudinal arguments.
Doing something like DST or a variant just changes the sunrise/sunset time for 'convenience'.

There are a lot of very interesting station wagons, from small to large, here in Europe that we will never see in truck and SUV focussed North America.
I prefer a station wagon.

Yes… yes it is. ❄️
Anyone else still getting snow? 👀

@SaveStandard Sorry to contradict your confirmation bias meme but it didn’t disrupt my sleep at all I am in a better mood and content having light later in the day.

@mr_jay_pea Not true, ST would allow for earlier tee times than DST. Golfers are among the few who would actually use earlier morning light. Morning tee times are fully booked as soon as available and they’d fill more. They’re considered prime time so more lucrative than twilight ones.

@ImMeme0 That looks like Ontario somewhere and you see remnants of snowbanks. Snow clearing and lot maintenance costs money, wonder if the mosque ever offered (or refused) to help cover those in return for use?
