Would love to hear some recommendations especially if they are available in Canada. I've been chewing a lot of whatever the green and blue version of 5 gum is lately. 5 released a caffeinated version of their gum called respawn but I don't think it was ever sold in Canada.

Under previous guidance, the CCSA recommended a maximum of 10 standard alcoholic drinks per week for women and 15 for men. Now, it says no amount of alcohol is completely safe, and recommends a maximum of two drinks a week to stay within the lowest risk threshold.

I'm surprised it's that high.

I think it makes sense to put labels on alcohol though considering weed and cigarettes already have massive warning labels. Seems like legacy or grandfathered in policy that we don't already.

 

I know I can use an HDMI source like a Raspberry Pi and a small screen for HDMI and could twist copper cable together and measure continuity through them to narrow down which is which but I'm wondering if there is an easier way. Maybe something I connect to either end?

My cat gets around this by sleeping on my neck

He looks so happy and relaxed. Very cute

I am looking for the latter. It seems to be a common question but I can't really seem to find a one stop answer.

I feel like it will be a bit of a challenge to arrange around 100 pages to work with this

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That's the issue I'm running into. Once you select 4 pages per sheet it seems to override the booklet mode.

Adobe seems to try to print

1 2

3 4

for example. The only option I can think of is to arrange the pages to work with this but it gets a bit difficult with nearly 100 pages.

 

I'd like to have each page a 1/4 the size of a regular piece of paper, in a booklet style, printing on the front and back, and have 4 pages per page one side of piece of paper.

That way I can cut the page in half and minimize the amount of paper I use while making a quarter page size booklet I can keep in my pocket.

 

I had a hell of a time trying to figure out how to word the title. What I mean is something that changed in your life for the better and you immediately started underappreciating it.

I got laser eye surgery a couple years ago and immediately got used to it and didn't think about all the minor inconveniences that came with having glasses.

Similarly I bought a curved computer monitor because it seemed neat and after a couple hours it feels so insignificant I stopped really "feeling" anything.

Maybe. I am posting this from Canada.

Here's a photo

 

For context there are stickers on Lush product containers that have a cartoon photo of the people who made it. I'm wondering is there one person who just makes them? Are they made using preselected features? Do employees get to design them?

No clue but I'm curious.

 

Here are some things I plan to keep from my current build:

  • Corsair Vengeance C70 case
  • EVGA SupaNOVA NEX650G 650W 80+ Gold Certified power supply
  • 4 HDD + 2 NVME + 1 SSD

Here are some things I plan to get new:

  • AMD Ryzen 7800X3D 4.2GHz 8-core processor
  • be quiet! Pure Rock Slim 2 CPU cooler
  • 32 GB (2*16GB) Corsair Vengeance DDR5-7200 RAM
  • Asus TUF Gaming OC Radeon 7800 XT graphics card

Should I consider anything else?

Everything seems to work out in PCPartPicker with two exceptions.

It seems like most motherboards will need to be updated to support the CPU. I don't know if it's possible to do this without a CPU or how likely I am to get a board with an older BIOS version.

It also says the RAM requires 1.45V more than the recommended maximum voltage of the CPU (1.35V).

I plan to upgrade the RAM, cooler, and CPU first and do the GPU later when there are more sales. I don't think this should be an issue. I was thinking about upgrading the RAM later but my computer currently has DDR4 and I think the CPU only supports DDR5.

 

Running GParted gives me an error that says

fsyncing/closing dev/sdb: input/output error

Using Gnome Disk Utility under the assessment section it says

Disk is OK, one bad sector

Clicking to format it to EXT4 I'm getting a message that says

Error formatting volume

Error wiping device: Failed to probe the device 'dev/SDB' (udisks-error-quark, 0)

Running sudo smartctl -a /dev/SDB I get a few messages that all say

... SCSI error badly formed scsi parameters


In terms of the physical side I've swapped out the SATA data and power cable with the same results.


Any suggestions?

Amazon has a decent return policy so I'm not incredibly concerned but if I can avoid that hassle it would nice.

She also has a brown tail and a dot just above it so it kind of looks like a question mark

That's sweet. Here's another photo if you wanted to show her

That's her all the time

 

Edit:

The original title of my post was

"Anyone know what these little shards would be I found in my can I got from 2 Crows Brewery?"

and the text below said

"I'm not sure if it's glass or some kind of settlement that accumulated at the bottom.

It is rather hard. I can't crush it easily with my fingers and it doesn't feel sharp enough to cut me. It has a pink colour to it."

but I contacted 2 Crows and they got back to me really quick.

They are wine crystals!

I had never heard of them before.

I edited the title because I don't want people to be concerned. I love 2 Crows.

 
 

I know you can get canned escargot at Sobeys but I am talking about the real weird stuff. Canned cheeseburgers, full chickens, and bread.

I'd be fine ordering it online as well as long as I am not paying absurd amounts for shipping.

Knowing what exactly is going is a big thing. I thought I had some form of ADD but it turns out I was just depressed and the ADD symptoms were just a side effect of it. Being diagnosed and on the correct medication was a game changer.

I can't touch grass. I'm allergic to it

 

Both popped up with a slew of celebrities. Felt pretty soulless then disappeared. As far as I know Wavin' Flag did raise one million dollars Haiti though.

I think Canada is a bit better when it comes to the approachable apsect than the UK.

But yeah more so compared to America. Canada has it's own weird alt right community but I feel like the average Canadian is close to centre. I'd say most people are friendly to all minorities here and if they aren't they're at least not vocal about it and they usually get shot down pretty quick for example.
