Selling these things individually isn't all that uncommon. I can't name a single grocer in my area that refuses to sell bars like these individually.

Protein bars are often sold in the same area of grocery stores with options to purchase either individual bars as a pick-me-up snack or by the box for the pantry. They do the same with similar things like Cliff and RX bars so these being sold individually as well comes as no surprise.

Saw this getting featured on my home instance (lemmy.ca). Is sh.itjust.works hosted in Canada? If so, had no clue.

Yeesh, does the link description always include the entire sidebar?

Off topic, but what the hell is your instance's URL lmfao

And although he does not blame Trump personally for the economic downturn, “the people he’s appointed and the way they’re going about things, it’s not OK,” he said.

Bruh, one bad pick for a leader to make is understandable. Things happen. When it's the entire fucking administration, maybe, just maybe, the person heading it has more than a little responsibility for shit hitting the fan?

Good lord man, talk about a lack of critical thinking skills.

 

Pegmode hails from Edmonton! Please give the album a full listen, it's incredible!

If the American faculty are so offended by that they can waltz right back to where they fucking came from.

 

Thanks to @[email protected] for the suggestion!

This playlist will encompass all individual tracks shared here in the Maple Music community. I chose ListenBrainz as the place to host it as MetaBrainz is a non-profit organization despite being in the U.S., it has the perk of being able to add music from any platform to the playlist, and one can play songs in the playlist directly on the playlist page using the YouTube embed the site provides.

While ListenBrainz does have these perks, it by no means is perfect either. In creating the playlist I had to create new entries for some of the songs and their respective releases on MusicBrainz. That in itself isn't an issue, however, tracks that are newly added to MusicBrainz may display as blank in the playlist temporarily before appearing the same way other entries do.

Also, the YouTube embed feature isn't exactly perfect either. Sometimes the wrong video will be grabbed from YouTube. This is especially the case with really underground music, where there may not be uploads on YouTube. For electronic music, I've found it to be the case that videos of rhythm games such as osu! and BeatSaber may appear instead of the song itself.

Happy listening!

Maybe try Tbooth Wireless? I did a quick search on Wikipedia, and seems the company that owns WirelessWave also owns that store franchise as well.

Holding company (Glentel) is Canadian, and going further, they're jointly owned by Bell and Rogers.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

If you can't pick up after your dog, you don't deserve to be a pet owner.

Wealthsimple has tax filing services, and StudioTax is also Canadian.

To make my life simple might use one of these services this year as I figure out how the hell to do my taxes by paper. Absurd we don't have a system from the government directly to do this.

 

Sorry for the inconvenience! This week we're skipping the weekly discussion post in order to regularly schedule them on Mondays. After this however, there shouldn't be any gaps for the foreseeable future.

 

Been working on grabbing a few movies from online to download and save as more options for movie nights with friends on top of the DVDs and VHS tapes I have.

I'm aware one can find mentions on Wikipedia or the Internet Archive saying "oh this film is public domain", but the sourcing seems to be sketchy a lot of the time. Like a Wikipedia article will mention a movie is public domain, and then link to a site for public domain movies or the Internet Archive with neither stating why the film is public domain.

Is there a simple means to check for yourself the copyright status of movies? Would help a lot with having confidence in the collection of films I'm building up.

Born and raised in Edmonton, but no longer live there. The basket was mainly given to us by our parents, never really a thing that was seen with partners or whatever from what I'm able to gauge.

I'm pretty sure I do remember schools doing Easter raffles though where there were Easter baskets to be won. Was typically a small fundraising thing the school did where the more tickets you bought, the higher your chances were in winning ofc.

Honestly even if you don't go with Dollarama stuff it's not really a huge thing. Normally just included a chocolate bunny (or equivalent since you could get like a chocolate transformer or Dora the Explorer when I was a kid, pretty sure they do the same thing with PJ Masks and Paw Patrol these days from what I recall seeing in stores), some jellybeans, some gummy candies, and on the rare occasion, Peeps.

 

Band hails from Burlington, Ontario.

Welcome to the first iteration of a weekly series in this community called Artist Spotlight! In this series, once a week, a Canadian musician will be featured to showcase their outstanding talents. The first musician to be featured this week is Femtanyl, but please, if you have any suggestions for next week, leave them in the comments where they will be reviewed!

Femtanyl is a music producer hailing from Toronto! She has had numerous releases in the breakcore and dnb genres, and has created an underground culture based around her style of music.

A trans woman, she creates the art for her own releases, and focuses the themes of her music on her struggles in being trans.

Please give her works a listen if you haven't already. Outside of her talents in music, she's very talented with comedy and down-to-Earth conversation and is a lovely individual.

 

DijahSB is a great non-binary musician from Toronto. Give the full album by them a listen!
