I was taught BEDMAS in school, so slightly different order. I was also taught that DM and AS are not specifically in that order, but rather left to right of the equation, in the same lesson. I’m not sure why some schools aren’t doing it that way.

If you’re using Safari you can still get uBO, it’s just called uBlock Origin Lite instead. It’s what I use, it’s quite good.

I run the kitchen section of a grocery store so I get what you mean. I come home covered in grease every day and usually other food stuff too. A couple days ago I had a full case of soup explode on me, that was fun to try and clean. Thankfully it was refrigerated, not hot, so I didn’t get burned, but still, had to do the last couple hours of my day in very dirty clothes and the floor wasn’t super easy to clean either.

This was my exact thought too. Sometimes I think I’m the only person on Lemmy that doesn’t have an office job. If I did morning showers, I’d supposed to be spending my evening and night drenched in sweat and who knows what else from work? Doesn’t sound very pleasant.

Probably a dumb question, but I started playing it, went to check controls and accidentally tried to change the control for changing weapons. When I went to set it back (scroll up or down) it’s not accepting scrolling as an input. Does anyone know a solution? Or if one exists? There’s no option for reverting to default configs.

That system seems so alien to me, I can’t even imagine. When my wife gave birth, she lost a ton of blood, like, far more than normal. She ended up needing both an iron and blood transfusion, and we needed to stay for a few extra days. She got a ton of meds and got seen by several doctors. Plus my baby had a couple small issues too which needed to get treated. Everything worked out okay, and everyone’s healthy now, thankfully. We didn’t pay a single cent. It was all covered. I can’t imagine making those decisions thinking about how much it would cost. I remember shortly after birth we were looking at how much birth costs in the States, it was insane. I can’t remember how much now but it was just for regular birth, I’m sure all the extras we needed would’ve cost more.

Did you have to pay the difference out of pocket? Or is there a discounted price for insurance providers to pay that laypeople aren’t approved for?
Whenever I go to the doctor, hospital, etc I just give them my health card (which is freely provided to every Canadian citizen) and they punch in the number into their system, then that’s that. I don’t have to pay or contact insurance or anything. Some stuff doesn’t count such as the dentist but dental care is almost always provided through work benefits.

I rarely see it in Canada. I’ve only seen it at farmers markets. I did a quick search and apparently it is fully legal, just uncommon. As long as you either advertise the highest cost or clearly explain the different cost levels (like in the OP) it’s fine apparently. The more you know.

I couldn’t help but notice there’s a different price for cash and card, is that normal in the States?

As a Canadian I genuinely can’t tell if this is an exaggeration or not.

This is 100% true, most of my family lives nearby there. It was quite exciting that the neighbouring town was getting so much attention! Small town Newfoundland never gets mentioned in the news outside of local publications, so it was quite cool. It did lead to a huge spike in tourism which some people have differing opinions on, however.

Joke’s on you, I have the opposite problem where I don’t have enough anxiety which leads to me never properly preparing for anything because “I’ll deal with it when I get to it”. So I’m always present and in the moment without preparing for the future 😎

Ah, good to know, thanks. Not sure I’ll ever need the info but I’m always curious on what’s popular, even if it’s not something I’m interested in. I know of both artists but don’t know much music from either and don’t care to. But it’s cool to see what’s seen as better or worse by the general fanbase.

Which is supposed to be the better album?
I don’t listen to either artist and don’t care for either of them from what I’ve heard on the radio and at malls so I’m not the best person to judge. I’m curious what your thoughts are though (and what the general consensus is).

Thanks for the detailed write-up! I appreciate you taking the time to do that.
Physical Education was fun. I’ll definitely check them out a bit more.
I also checked out Mestís, too, as your description sounded really interesting. Gentle Giant didn’t do much for me but I really enjoyed Media Noche. I’ll be exploring this some more, too.

Alt text on the image says “Knesset”, which I had to look up but apparently is “the parliament of modern Israel, established in 1949. It consists of 120 members elected every four years” according to Oxford dictionary.

As a Canadian this is the realist thing ever. Half our identity is being not-American.

This reads like something Chris Simpsons Artist would say. Back when I used to use Instagram I followed his account and all of his captions were like this. It was great. Glad to see someone on Lemmy writes like him.

I’m also in management, and, yeah. Trying to get everything done with such little labour is a nightmare and I end up picking up all the extra work. I don’t want my staff to have to stay late so I do. I’m yet to leave work on time.

I put my daughter to bed last night and almost fell asleep in the room with her. My wife had to kick me out of the room because we said we’d stay up till midnight. Poured up a small glass of whiskey for myself, wife had cranberry juice, clinked glasses at midnight, took a swig, then went to bed ourselves. Between leaving the kid’s room and midnight we were dozing off on the couch in the living room just waiting for the clock to hit 12. Definitely not the NYE party we used to do one time. Oh well, I don’t mind.
