- Comment on Streaming Is Raising Prices Faster Than Cable Ever Did 14 hours ago:
In Canada Bell and Rogers bundle in the streaming services but they charge more than the streaming service services themselves. Ie disney plus no commercials cost $19.40 a month. Bell wanted $24 a month for the lowest tier for $24 a month. Screw them.
We get cheaper internet by using deal from one ISP to get the other ISP to price match every couple of years.
- Comment on How are you going to never forget 9/11 this year? What are you never forgetful for? 5 days ago:
Yup, for me a tad closer. My dad and his 2 brothers fought in WWII as pilots. My mother was conscripted to work for the town mayor in her hometown in England. Who would of thought that a Canadian from up north and a lady from England would meet up. I would not be here without them. Heard all the tales straight from the horses mouth so to speak for decades. What is going on now is beyond short circuiting for me.

The lessons learned during the second world war, I will never forget. Unfortunately, everybody else has seemed to have forgotten.

I am Canadian. We aren’t so sue’y up here. Sounds too much like work.
- Comment on Park benches don't "open" until 10am 1 week ago:
I can’t walk but about 2 meters at a time now. I think with my boomer brain. Seat, sit. But you are correct.
- Comment on Park benches don't "open" until 10am 1 week ago:
I am surprised they are even there at all. Better than no benches I guess.

Never heard that one before. Why tree stumping?
- Comment on Anon is strong 2 weeks ago:
That situation never had an official name that I know of so I call it(or I heard it at some point) “Thanks for the dance“.

Eeeeew Walmarts. A pipeline of questionably manufactured foods that no longer have any safety or quality controls.
Buy Canadian.

They are just advertising their war robots. Ours can go faster than other companies war robots (when they come out).
Dumb.

Yes, you can add many things to water to enhance. Electrolytes are not needed or necessary as history shows humans lived on water (which only has trace amounts of electrolytes of no consequence) just ducky.

Whatever lifestyle one has the evolutionary urge of being thirsty does not go anywhere or be subsided. If so, please show me the medical research in regards to this.

My wife also said that they used word-of-mouth. Billy Bob would tell you that 5 km past the big red rock there was a spring or stuff like that.
- Comment on Drop your unpopular opinions here because c/unpopularopinions is filled with popular opinions 4 weeks ago:
They took their chances. That is why they were called Trail Blazers.
- Comment on Drop your unpopular opinions here because c/unpopularopinions is filled with popular opinions 4 weeks ago:
They used animal skins. Easy peasy. I can tell you what they did not use, cheap aluminum tins with a brand name on them so you spend an extra $50 for the brand name.
- Comment on Drop your unpopular opinions here because c/unpopularopinions is filled with popular opinions 4 weeks ago:
They were called canteens back in the day.

Hydration. Until 30 years ago, humans had no problem hydrating themselves when water was available. Note available. It’s called being thirsty. All of a sudden, you must hydrate, you must hydrate. Somehow, all the executives at all the big drink companies got together and said let’s just use the word hydration and hope for potluck on which product of ours they buy. Of course everyone jumped on the corporate bandwagon and they are now completely converted to this weird idea that humans don’t know how to hydrate when they need to so they can sell their sugar laden crap.
- Comment on Disc drive needed 4 weeks ago:
I was referring to vinyl records sold in stores. That stuff is definitely copy written. I’ve never taped any radio stuff before so I don’t know the legality of that stuff.
- Comment on Disc drive needed 4 weeks ago:
No, it was not legal. Did I give a fuck. Nope.
Had an audiophile buddy who bought tons of Japanese import vinyl records which he would burn(copy) to tape for me. Later on to CD then even later to DVD’s. Many years later bought tons of original CD’s at flea markets at rock bottom prices. Mainly got them for the artwork. Was not ever worried about the illegality of it.

They will use AI in the drones and it will spray kids and anybody else but the perpetrator.
