Can you let me know exactly which law you’re referring to? I’m usually pretty up to date on Canadian meat regulations. If you’ve got a source, I’d genuinely appreciate you sharing a link so I can take a look 👍 and read it. Tongue and cheek meat in Canada has always part of the edible and acceptable list of beef head meat

@DivaQBBQ I can't get them near me ever!! New laws have come into place re: head meat. UGH I miss them and my headcheese!!

This is the absurd pothole laden, unpaved road to the Cherry Beach Sports Fields. What is @cityoftoronto even doing? Roads across the city are in horrible condition and City Councillors somehow still have their jobs. @Toronto311 @PaulaFletcherTO

@K__Med This is how I ended up with 3 copies of Christmas Vacation on DVD.

Not sure what’s more frustrating- that gas is at this price, or that prices can be so wildly different within the city. It’s $1.73 in Etobicoke, and $1.67 in Scarborough.

@meathead The thing about percentage based tips is the tip increases with prices. Folks now expect tips over 20% at the same time that restaurant prices have doubled. It has become excessive.

Once upon a time, it was standard to tip 10% and I did it everywhere. Then it became 15% and I did it everywhere. then it became 20% and I did it everywhere. but now I do the math in my head. How much work did the person do to deliver my service and how much is the total bill. On some occasions I tip only 10% and on other occasions I tip 30%. Servers typically get 20% if they handle my entire meal. Tipping to me now is situational. I often wish I could tip the chef.

Bought a coffee this morning Black, no milk, no syrup Someone poured liquid into a cup Took eleven seconds Then she flipped the iPad around 30% 35% 40% For a $6 coffee that took eleven seconds to make The line behind me was six deep All watching 30% is the new 0% Everyone knows it Nobody says it I pressed custom Typed $0 The barista looked at me The guy behind me looked at me My wife looked at the ceiling We left Went to lunch after Waiter brought water and bread without being asked Took our order Checked on us twice Refilled drinks Cleared plates I tipped 25% My wife said "you just gave the waiter 25% and the barista nothing" I said "correct" She stared at me I said "one of them did a job. The other one turned an iPad around." She took the check out of my hands After lunch we stopped for frozen yogurt The kids served themselves Picked their own toppings Weighed their own cups I paid by the ounce Then the screen flipped around 35% 40% 45% I looked at my seven-year-old who had just done the entire job I pressed no tip The teenager behind the counter didn't blink She already knew My wife grabbed my arm and walked me out In the car she was quiet Then she said "I can never take you anywhere" I said "just not the places with iPads" She didn't laugh But she didn't disagree Tipping used to mean something Now it's just a screen that guilt-trips you in front of strangers I don't negotiate against myself Not at work Not at a frozen yogurt shop Plz fix. Thx. Sent from my iPhone

@GTM618 @FreedomMobile That’s the tricky part of visiting Niagara Falls - easy for phones to switch to the US carriers. I was there 2 weeks ago and all our Bell phones did the same thing. With Freedom I always found messaging from iPhone to be pretty responsive for support.

@FreedomMobile In Niagara Falls Canada last 2 days. Get a message yesterday that I roamed into the US and would be charged at such. Never left Canada. And now today can't get a call out. Not even to you for support. What happened to your twitter suport chat.

@TheMaxNPV Exactly right, but I would argue any successful CEO of any industry has a very strong team around them. The CEO job is pretty limited in the grand scheme of things.

@CDNPolicyHawk Walmart.com lists a 16oz pack of Oscar Mayer bacon for $8.97 USD. Seems our pricing is similar or better. Grocery prices have gone up everywhere.

Diabolical that @NyQuilDayQuil sells a 354ml bottle when the prescribed dose is 30ml.

@JNavok I think it’s more likely that they’ll spin off the whole gaming business. It’s neatly packaged with its own “CEO” role.

I strongly suspect within three years Microsoft will sell or spin off: ・Activision-Blizzard ・Bethesda/Zenimax ・King I believe they will keep Minecraft. I cannot imagine the predictions MS made for games in 2018 when they started their current strategy of growth through studios match with their needs for an AI future. I mentioned this in one of my threads last year, but every dollar that Microsoft had invested in games would have been better invested into AI. Potential buyers would be some of the MENA funds, PE firms, Netflix or others.

My in-laws are downsizing, so my father-in-law gave me a turntable. Had to spend a bit to fix it up, but man, I’m digging the tactile experience of vinyl records again. I decided to get all my CDs out of storage too - too bad I lost half of them in a basement flood in 2013.

Wife: I’m going to buy pasta at the grocery store. Me: Ok, but please only buy La Molisana or Rummo brand, not the terrible stuff you got last time. Wife: Yes, I know, I won’t do that again and I’ll only get those brands. *Comes home with store brand pasta* ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@TheMaxNPV Me too, but I said during the last election. FAFO! We are all finding out. Hopefully, a little bit of this gets reversed in November.

I don't think many people understand that the damage we have done to our relationship with Canada is one of the worst foreign policy decisions in the last decade. Canada is vital to our trade, infrastructure, energy, national security, etc. And the fact is they had been one of our best partners for decades. If the next President is smart, one of the first things he or she should do is reach out to Ottawa and try to patch that relationship as much as possible.

It’s posts like this that make Canada and other countries want to do deals with China and leave the United States all alone. This is the language of an abusive ex.

@kieran717 Hey, things can always get better, right? Frankly I’m surprised that Americans aren’t more alarmed about what’s going on in your own turf, but it ain’t my house.

@TheMaxNPV Oh, I know it will not be the same. That I get. But, we can definitely have a reboot of the relationship better than what is happening here.

Stepping into a puddle of water in the laundry room is not a good way to start a quiet Saturday after a long week.
