Yeah I have no idea what this is talking about. 38 here, I've owned a printer for 15 years at least. We switched to a Brother laser printer a few years back and it's the tits.

I also own a minivan, AMA.

Also because it's nice to live somewhere clean and tidy?

Please post a picture of your chin so that we may judge this matter.

Late 30s here, I would descibe how I feel as "settled". I feel steady in who I am and what I do; my youngest child is five and so I'm out of the most intense hands-on parenting years. Looking forward to my forties!

An ultrasound tech once told me that I have a cute spleen.

After watching through all of DS9 all I need is the chin for a positive identification.

Every time I head to the second-hand store I pick up a couple new CDs and DVDs. It's great! I'm paying max $3.99 apiece and I'll own them forever.

I get a lot of use out of glass screen protectors. I'm quite clumsy and they've saved my screen many times! I've used a couple of different brands and they sometimes take more than one try for me to line up correctly, but $10 and a few minutes of mild annoyance is a very small price to pay compared to replacing a whole phone screen.

It's opportunity costs all the way down, baby!

 

"Hello, friends, and welcome back to our weekly Bullshit Bulletin. If you don’t remember it from the last election, the Bullshit Bulletin is something we’ll be publishing once a week at ReadTheLine.ca. We’ll recap a bunch of things we heard during the campaign that week that were bullshit. We don’t mean partisan spin or things we just disagree with. We mean things that are either flatly untrue or torqued to the point where truth loses all meaning. We’ll also include room for conduct that may not fail a lie detector test but is, well, egregious bullshit.

I ran across this post on the CBC that names a few apps to help people find Canadian products: https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/buying-canadian-shopping-apps-barcode-scanners-1.7463039

  • Shop Canadian
  • Buy Beaver
  • O SCANada
  • Maple Scan

I'm curious if anyone has tried any of these and how useful (or not!) you've found them.

 

"With so much interest in buying small Canadian companies, I figured I would share her products as an alternative. Your support would change her life. All products have a maple leaf!"

The response was immediate and enormous, she says, with order requests through her website increasing by almost 4,000 per cent, according to Williams.

 

Banks will also be prohibited from charging NSF fees more than once within a period of two business days and in cases where the overdraft is less than $10.

To avoid bank account holders accidentally incurring an NSF charge, banks will also have to send an alert giving account holders at least three-hours' notice that a payment exceeds their bank balance. If the account holder deposits money to cover the payment within that period, banks cannot charge the fee.
