Is Regina at least better to live in? London is the armpit of Ontario. I hated it there, lol. But there is an excellent shawarma place near the college (Hadi’s).
Edit: Just found out Hadi’s is closed and there’s a new shawarma place there now. :( Hope Hadi is doing well.
Yeah, I was hoping my comment might prompt someone from Saskatchewan to chime in with their experience, but that didn’t happen. :b
I started working at 14 (in Ontario). For my first job:
After 2 years of working there, I got a $0.05 raise. Yes, 5 cents. The biggest increase in my pay came when the minimum wage was increased in Ontario, which also increased the student wage.
Earl Grey Pie, it’s really easy if you use frozen pie crusts.
I’d have to agree. I met my wife on OKCupid in 2016 and almost immediately after that it changed several key features and became complete garbage.
I smoke weed and watch TV. I also take Zoloft every day and it works pretty well at minimizing my intrusive thoughts too (which mostly happen at night) so it’s like multi-pronged for me.
Idk, if you’ve been going through this for a while and nothing in this thread works, you could look into antidepressants; you don’t have to be on them forever. A lot of the common ones are somewhat affordable without insurance.
I like Debian a lot, and Mint seems fine too, but I don’t like the styling, or Cinnamon really. I use Fluxbox (WM only, no DE) with a bunch of tiny customizations.
The main reason I picked it is that I like to tinker and she doesn’t, so I think that Cinnamon will be the easiest for her coming from Windows 10.
We both have AMD GPUs (and she has a AMD CPU too) so I haven’t had to deal with Nvidia headaches.
I like the glacial updates so things don’t break as easily. I don’t want to spend hours fixing a system (hers or mine tbh) unless I have to. For anything that I need the latest features for, there’s usually a repo I can add to Aptitude or a Flatpak.
I’ve had LMDE on a USB stick for a few months now, waiting for the right time to boot it up on my wife’s PC, and she finally agreed to try it tonight. Cross your fingers, boys; we may soon have another convert.
SCOTUS: “Good news, everyone! We figured out how to keep up the prison population amid record low crime rates so you won’t have to pay minimum wage, isn’t that great?”
I’m not streaming it, it’s on my media server, so there are no ads. I don’t pay for any services except Shudder because it’s still cheap and niche.
Same, been watching Dead Like Me and Xena: Warrior Princess and it’s pretty distracting when it happens.
Why not try running your own local instance of Nitter? No Nazis that way. I would if I used Twitter more.
“Traditionally, trans people have had no explicit rights based on their trans status, and we have to respect the sanctity of that clearly deliberate omission.”
Ah, I thought that was largely an Appalachian thing. But I guess that isn’t quite the same since I don’t think “haw” sounds like “whore” down there.
That’s cool, thanks for the addition. I’m not much of a history guy.
You could also go with no DE and check out Fluxbox, i3, or sway. There’s something about Fluxbox that’s still charming all these years later.
What a distressing miscommunication.
The prefix Fitz- means “bastard son of,” according to my high school English teacher. So… the joke just got funnier, depending on your sense of humour.
FWIW, these are effective only when both are used on the same circuit. If you live in an older home, the chances of this being the case are higher.
My entire apartment, except for the washroom, is on the same circuit. It also means I can’t run an air conditioner without tripping the breaker. :|
Pffft, Trudeau would rather set himself on fire than enact electoral reform.
FPTP is too critical to Canadian neoliberalism in that it prevents coalitions (which would encourage compromise and diversity of opinion) and allows the major parties to force their will.
Edit: Do I have to explicitly state that neoliberalism is bad? Lol. Obviously electoral reform is needed - but there’s clearly a vested interest among politicians in it not happening.
