I'm guessing this is in regards to the international nuclear non-proliferation treaty.

What do y'all recommend for new dishwashers? in c/[email protected]

[–] Albbi 5 points 3 days ago

I've heard some features are locked behind an app on newer low end models. Higher end models hsvd enough buttons to do everything.

My dishwasher is doesn't need WiFi access... Like, I have my washer and dryer hooked up because getting a reminder of loads being finished is great, but the dishwasher doesn't need anything like that.

The rest of the time you're using your truck for menial tasks you're spending much more money on vehicle maintenance, not to mention the overall cost of a truck over a commuter vehicle. And people aren't make of limitless money, they're just going into debt to get these bigger vehicles.

Spend a little time to save a lot of money.

Podcast episode featuring Tim Russ - Go Fact Yourself episode 170 (maximumfun.org)

submitted 1 month ago by Albbi to c/[email protected]

9 comments fedilink

This is my favourite podcast. It features two contestants who are minor celebrities and asks them for three topics outside their field of work in which they are experts in, and then crafts a trivia quiz for them. Finally they bring in an expert to evaluate their responses, and the show is able to get some amazing experts who are a joy to listen to and usually the response from the contestent meeting the expert is incredibly wholesome.

This episode features Tim Russ so I thought the TenForward community might like it. There also some additional Star Trek trivia and personalities even during the part of the episode that features the other contestant Amber Nelson.

Tim Russ's three topics are - Astronomy, Alien invasion movies of the 1950s and 60s, and World War II. You can find out more about why Tim was intereted in these topics.

Also noteable quote from the episide: "I think Tim might be the center of the universe!"

Let's stop playing around and talk about ditching something big: Visa and Mastercard (self.buycanadian)

submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by Albbi to c/buycanadian

Visa and Mastercard are American companies, and they essentially tax everybody by taking a percentage of purchase prices for themselves. Not exactly a small percentage either, 1.2% to 2.65%. Ever wonder why so many merchants say they don't accept American Express? That's because they charge quite a bit more to merchantes, 50% more than Visa or Mastercard. Anyway, we're letting American companies tax us and we love them because we get rewards when we use cards. But it's just a shell game because we pay more up front because businesses need to charge more to make up for payment processing charges. They get to sit in the middle and rake in the money.

Now the alternative in Canada is Interac. Interac charges a set amount per transcation. How much? 2 to 5.5 cents. Unless you're going through Apple or Google Pay, and then it's a percentage again.

Interac is also Canadian.

Want to stick it to Trump? Stop using credit cards (and Google Pay or Apple Pay) and switch to Interac. Want to make Canada better? Stop using credit cards and switch to Interac. Is it going to be inconvenient? Yes. Online shopping will be much harder but I have seen online Interac payments before and we can ask our favourite Canadian merchants to accept Interac online.

Need an alternate to Adams Dark Roast Peanut Butter (self.buycanadian)

This has been the best peanut butter I've ever had, but it's a product of the USA. I just love the taste the dark roast adds. I've never seen any other brands that do the same thing. Any suggestions out there?

Working at the office today and from all angles cars are reflecting sunlight into my eyes. Just realized that bicycle parking wouldn't be causing this slight inconvenience to me. Fuck cars.
