It's either sweet that there are so many people with the exact same story about the exact same 84 year old neighbor who is only alive because they have dinner together,
or, this is engagement farming. Based on the huge number of views (all with blue checkmarks), it's quite a lucrative story $$$.
Blocked them all. My eyeballs ain't being used to monetize that crap.

@GrandpaKen05 I'm down in Texas now and nobody cares what Canada thinks or says. It is nice leaving Canada because I don't have to hear about Trump everyday here.

They laughed and mocked us when we said we will boycott traveling their and buying American. Conservatives here were saying it wouldn't last and would give up. Here it is one year and that movement just keeps growing. No whining,no bragging,no tears. Just a resolve, and ❤️ of 🇨🇦

Always a pleasure to be in the land of bourbon, plastic bags, and cheaper gas. Some reason Canadians think the folks in US are struggling because they don't have "free" healthcare. They are doing just fine and happy without Canada.

After today's unfavourable $50M swap on our interface, there's a lot of confusion around slippage I'd like to clarify:
Slippage is the tolerance buffer on a market order: how much the final fill price can deviate from the quoted price due to market movement between signing and execution. On the Aave interface, suggested slippage is algorithmically calculated from asset pair volatility and order size.
Since we offer both market orders (with adjustable slippage) and limit orders, our slippage and fee estimates are tuned for execution time. Users can always tighten it (or set limit amounts) and will typically get a surplus back thanks to @CoWSwap's auction mechanism.
In this case, the user sent a market order with the suggested 1.21% slippage. But the core issue wasn't slippage, it was just the accepted quote with 99% price impact:
As you can confirm it yourself on the CoW explorer, the order includes a quote field showing the original rate (50M USDT -> <140 AAVE) presented to the user before fees and slippage. It was already a very bad rate.
All the interactions were also verified via internal analytics, and the user even received a 0.7% surplus, confirming the swap mechanics worked exactly as intended. Thanks to our open-source nature, anyone can reproduce this.
So, the price impact warning was displayed. The checkbox was checked, sadly.
While we're working on stronger guardrails for all our users, we'll always believe in permissionless DeFi.
Stani.eth@StaniKulechov
Earlier today, a user attempted to buy AAVE using $50M USDT through the Aave interface. Given the unusually large size of the single order, the Aave interface, like most trading interfaces, warned the user about extraordinary slippage and required confirmation via a checkbox. The user confirmed the warning on their mobile device and proceeded with the swap, accepting the high slippage, which ultimately resulted in receiving only 324 AAVE in return. The transaction could not be moved forward without the user explicitly accepting the risk through the confirmation checkbox. The CoW Swap routers functioned as intended, and the integration followed standard industry practices. However, while the user was able to proceed with the swap, the final outcome was clearly far from optimal. Events like this do occur in DeFi, but the scale of this transaction was significantly larger than what is typically seen in the space. We sympathize with the user and will try to make a contact with the user and we will return $600K in fees collected from the transaction. The key takeaway is that while DeFi should remain open and permissionless, allowing users to perform transactions freely, there are additional guardrails the industry can build to better protect users. Our team will be investigating ways to improve these safeguards going forward.

@mgrabina Garbage failsafe. I have been long in the fintech space and anything we had with substantial financial margin of error always required human hand to engage. This isn't a checkbox thing. Poor setup and excuse explaining.

@bogeyfresh @FoodProfessor I expect that buying bulk of the cow, but I don't see it in chicken. I buy local farm chicken for special meals, but feeding a family, I am grabbing what is cheapest. I don't make every meal an adventure, most times it is just sustenance.
English
@odb47 @FoodProfessor It’s a bigger expense up front but far less per lb
The last half I bought was 4.50$ lb cut and wrapped , that’s steaks, roasts and burger

La Presse reports on illegal chicken imports today—finally!
About 270 million kg of poultry enters Canada from the U.S. each year, and you wouldn’t know it.
Chicken farmers blame lax borders. But the bigger issue may be a rigid supply-management system that can’t adjust to demand—so imports fill the gap.
English
@FoodProfessor I buy whole chickens from a friend who farms as well as half beef once a year, you will never get the same quality at a grocery store
I don’t know why more people don’t try to pursue locally raised

Rideshare services are enshittified. I say support entrepreneurship.
Ride to airport: i paid the service $100.
Driver owns the car. He gets $36 for that 1 hour ride, pays his own gas, insurance, maintenance.
He probably netted $15.
To pick me up at 5am, to drive me to the airport, in the snow.
When he showed me that, i took his number and said “next ride, I’ll just pay you” he said “great. I’ll charge you $75 any time”
He’s already scheduled to pick me up on the way home.
1. He can pick me up at the place where your friends and family get you. No trudging to the “rideshare zone”
2. He can drop me off next time right at the terminal instead of the rideshare drop off.
3. He makes way more money, but i spend the same.
4. He gives MUCH more of a damn if I’m happy.
Normalize doing this.

A year ago, Kentucky bourbon was pulled from Canadian shelves as a direct result of a reckless trade war. Since then, spirits exports to one of our biggest markets have plummeted by 63%.
For Kentucky, this isn't just about a bottle on a shelf. It’s about the workers at Brown-Forman, our local suppliers, and the families whose livelihoods depend on this industry. Even after the courts stepped in, the damage was done. Our bourbon is still locked out, and Kentucky workers are the ones paying the price.

Sadly, this is the thinking of a lot of Canadians.
Iran has funded and armed Putin for his war in Russia.
Iran has funded and armed Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis.
Iran shot down flight PS 752 with more than 125 people connected to Canada. Trump says mean things.

I don’t wake up each night wondering what Iran is going to do to threaten the planet. It is Trump’s America that keeps me up.

I am still amazed how quickly Covid got memory-holed. All the governments locking people in their homes, sending them to weird quarantine camps, businesses kicking people out for not wearing masks, masks that ultimately polluted our land and oceans beyond comprehension, being ostracized and labeled a "disease" if you didn't get the shot. People dying alone in hospitals for no reason. Terrible protocols that murdered people. Warp speeded shots injuring a maiming those convinced they were just doing what was right. So much made up and corrupt "science," complete nonsense dictating our lives while the truth was completely censored and suppressed online... so many lives destroyed from just so much evil taking place all at one time... it was truly crimes against humanity on a global scale. And not a one person ever questioned, tried, jailed, or held accountable for any of it anywhere.
Just one day... **poof** ... like it never even happened. Move along. It's all been swept under the rug. Are you still talking about that? Forget about it already. 😐
It's truly mind bending. I'll never ever get over it.
