They only really cover Nova Scotian news, so I wasn’t sure if we’d care to include it, but Saltwire was included so I figured I’d mention it 👍

You’d need to be able to submit the form for that to do anything lol

A good replacement for Saltwire is the Halifax Examiner.

I wouldn’t know, I’ve never made a bad purchase in my life and I’ll fight you if you say otherwise 😭

The alkali metals get more strongly reactive the higher their atomic number.

Lithium will react pretty violently with the water in your saliva, but cesium will blow up your head. If you get enough of it wet to cover your tongue

If cesium is only a red, I’m scared to know what the purple ones would do 😱

Probably Polynesia.

There are places where you can go and slum it and still have a great time, just visiting free attractions and going everywhere on foot and by pubic transit.
But then there are places where the luxury itself is the attraction, so cheaping out doesn’t really make sense.

I can afford to get to Japan and then just stay in cheap hotels and explore local attractions in Kyoto and Tokyo.
I can afford to get to Bora Bora or Tahiti, but I can’t afford the luxury stay, which would be the point of the trip.

Almost all “Canadian” news media are now American News media.
They went on a buying spree of Canadian news outlets over the last 5 years or so

So… The thing I just said?

I’m not gonna disagree that Americans have unhealthy eating habits. But the bread itself isn’t the issue, imo.

They’re just people doing a job that their boss made needlessly annoying. They shouldn’t need to open a vault to get a couple hundred bucks.

Don’t punish the workers, punish the boss

“I buy from companies who most closely match my ethics” is virtue signaling, now?

We live in a capitalist society, and voting with our wallet is the only vote we get. Not everyone can afford to vote, but why wouldn’t you if you could?

If this is virtue signaling, it’s the most subtle milquetoast virtue signaling ever.

Only in the sense that people eat it more than you’d typically eat cake - id agree with that.

But I don’t really see why it’s bad inherently

I didn’t realize Europe had ethical issues with boring cake. If I could roll my eyes any harder at your disingenuousness, they’d pop out of my head.

No, go back to your foie gras, the absolute paragons of virtue that you are. We will just have to satisfy ourselves with bread that is occasionally shelf stabilized, like the absolute monsters that makes us.

Right. Literally like I said earlier - it’s just a boring cake.

I didn’t realize that Europe considered cake to be such a terrible thing

Like what?

I’ll grant you they’re not artisanal breads with handpicked ingredients - but not all brands load up on nasty preservatives, and people make white bread themselves, too.

And all those regional European delicacies are a disgrace to cooking. I love food, but those pickled-shrew-taint type things are disgusting.

I was commenting on the hypocrisy of you calling what is just a plain soft sweet bread disgusting, while all these European countries get a pass on their regional abominations of food culture.

I know that plain white bread is not great, but it’s basically just a really boring cake. The ire is unreasonable.

Y’all are like

Yum! This fermented sheep asshole and rotten cabbage is true food culture!

But you react to soft sweet bread like a vampire in a 60s horror flick reacts to holy water

Also: proto-croutons

I agree but I think that that actually enforcing it will be even harder than enforcing the existing income and capital gains taxes. We should still try, but we should spread our net wider.

That graph is getting dangerously close to becoming a political meme, given current events
