I'm equally upset at Canadian companies selling items that are not made in Canada, under a guise that it's "all Canadian".

Example: I want a folding coffee table. Found a Canadian company in Windsor, Ontario. Looks legit... Looking closer, the tables are made in Poland...

There DO exist companies that are through and through Canadian... too many are masking it though. It's understandable for some things but it's nuts for stuff like furniture, like above (QC has a lovely woodworking furniture industry)

Unrelated but during 2022 COVID times I was accosted by someone while in a supermarket, simply for performing the act of touching several bananas and not buying them (checking for brown spots).

They said "Why do you touch all the bananas with your bare hands!!"

I replied back as they walked away "Do you eat the peel as well as the fruit???"

that puritanical shit lmao who said anything about this being religious? I don't follow anything.

It's called "being queer & careful with your partner; getting STI tests, getting to know each other, adjusting to each other's rhythm"

sheesh...

What a weird thing to focus on, are you planning to go visit your VPS in person?

GoCode is the parent company, and you can see they offer colo in an Equinox datacenter. I imagine this might be a one person contracting team that uses a PO Box for home address privacy (as I do myself for my business purposes)

They run a Tier 2 networking service, including peering with a lot of big exchanges. They'll be around for a while... And have been so far...

Hetzner does the same shit for ID verification/provisioning, it's all related to anti spam and anti malicious use.

I host at home but use Xenyth as a reverse proxy, that's honestly what many people who are comfortable to run their own server should do; protect your home IP.

Underconsumption is cooler than a tax break.

I'll continue to fight drivers on the road with my life, I deserve space to bike without being harassed. Helmet cams help a LOT.

I react badly to Canadian milk after it’s been ultra-pasturized but I’m not lactose intolerant.

Dawg I think you might be lactose intolerant.

yknow soy, almond, oat, etc non-milk beverages are seriously a great alternative with all needed nutrients...

I bought a new cassette, chain and derailleur for my main bike; it's probably 20-30 years old in it's frame and has some signs of wear, but those parts are probably the most I've "invested" in keeping it running well. Compare to a car with new belts, filters, etc. It's crazy our cities are not designed more densely.

 

I am thinking more relating to how on Reddit you can "message the mods"; is there any function like this on Lemmy, or do I have to message mods individually?

 

Price of a domestic stamp in a booklet, coil or pane would rise to 99 cents

Canada Post is proposing to increase postage rates in 2024. For stamps purchased in a booklet, coil or pane, which represent the majority of stamp sales, the rate would increase by seven cents, to 99 cents per stamp.

The new rates would take effect May 6, 2024.

Permanent stamps will always be accepted at the current domestic postage price.

The proposed rate changes would also affect other products, including U.S., international letter-post and domestic Registered Mail items. The price of a single stamp for a domestic letter (30 grams or less) would increase from $1.07 to $1.15. When purchased in a booklet, coil or pane, the price would increase from 92 cents to 99 cents per stamp.

 

Because this community may contain content that Canada Post would not really feel fondly of, per their imagery use guidelines:

The logo may never be used in association with anything or in any way that would disparage or otherwise reflect negatively on Canada Post, its products or services, or its directors, officers or employees.

I therefore just made quick icon and header images using clip art...
