You'd be losing a lot of extra product to the trimming that way -- or you'd maybe have to use individual molds for each bar. With a rectangular shape, you can pour the soap into slabs and then cut everything exactly to size with very little wastage.

I found a video showing the process (you can skip to about 3:30): https://youtu.be/TvIBzCIwpLM

Who exactly is examining your purchase orders for childfree ideological purity? You're a grownup. If you want the comfy pillow, you can buy the comfy pillow.

Maybe look for coverage of a topic or event from a few major US media sites/papers, and then at the same event from somewhere outside the US.

Give me a Star Trek-style replicator and I'm never cooking dinner again.

I use Boost and the topic keyword blocker works really well. I've got a lot of political words blacklisted and it's made browsing All much more pleasant.

I remember when our family would go bowling, my parents made us all change our clothes as soon as we got home because of the cigarette reek. I'm so glad those days are gone.

I've heard that Meyer lemons are relatively easy to keep as indoor potted plants.

That's what I've been doing. Order of priority:

  1. Canadian company
  2. Non-Canadian, non-American
  3. American but franchised/operating in Canada
  4. American
 

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!"

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.
