There are many reasons to buy local, especially for canadians.

When it comes to food, you benefit from better practices, for instance. In B.C., even if you aren’t buying organic, most of our producers are using some form of integrated pest management, and are smaller family farms, so you’re getting a cleaner product.

Also, more obviously, we have decent safety standards, and while we also have a big farm worker exploitation problem to solve, there’s some momentum in improving that.

That's... a very russian attitude!

Yeah way to advertise that you're a mouth-breather, right?

Yes but you need to give in and set persistent cookies.

noai.duckduckgo.com is what should be default, not the reverse.

Yeah hang onto that, someday you and I and OP will be contributing to a federated repairWiki of some kind.

Slept in. Talked about layers of post colonial identity over coffee. Worked on our resilience garden. Now working on all the little dishes for a mezze table for and cleaning up the BBQ.

Patriotism sucks and it’s particularly bad right now because it’s nose-holdingly necessary.

Happy not-fukan-amurrican day.

Going to add a few Iranian dishes to the menu in that spirit.

Can confirm, I live out in the countryside with only coax available, and a measly 1Gbit down 150Mbit up and 9 - 11ms ping. No caps.

Wait, that’s awesome and steady and reliable. Expensive sure but with heavy multiperson usage and no noticeable issues, I am wondering WTF you’re on about unless it’s some weird edge case?

Maybe you are referring to predatory business practices like oversubscribed lines? That’s not a technical problem.

Ah, maincoons are very different despite both breeds being big and furry.

Skogkatts are redomesticated after going feral in the woods and are a bit different from most cats in temperament.

The Forest Cats are not usually super cuddly, but like to be nearby. Smart and social with humans. My favourite breed now.

We lucked into ours, she was a rescue kitten from a crackhouse. We needed a hypoallergenic cat and forest cats are, somewhat.

Our Skogkatt ate teen rabbits regularly. She would bring them into the house so we gave her a "murder mat" that was for that purpose (smart cat, didn't need training and immediately started using it).

She had a hip problem so didn't bother with birds, and we let her roam the "farm". The rabbits she mostly ate at home were nearly full grown eastern cottontails.

One day she brought in and ate two smaller 5-week old or so teens, side by side. Always ate everything but the kidneys and maybe a foot or nose. She also ate the giant dock rats that show up sometimes around the chickens.

Scary little ambush predator. Owls are just as impressive.

Barn Owls and lots of other big claw birds around here thrive on the naturalized cottontails. But they are mostly part of the ecology that eats smaller things like voles or snakes.

Not likely enough surface area for cyanoacrylate to do its magic, though one could try to glue the key pieces together and hope it holds long enough for a partial pull. Likely to just glue the broken piece in there by accident.

Hot glue is gooey and will grab the broken part.

Thanks for bringing that up, trying to justify atomic bombs that way is specious reasoning.

During his feature length interview in The Fog of War, MacNamara said explicitly that if they had lost the war, he and his team would have been tried for war crimes. He cries a bit at one point while describing the firebombing of wooden cities, at how it was worse than the atomic bombs they dropped.
