Not quite true. Many homes in Canada literally were ordered from the Eaton catalogue. Truck arrives with all the components, you assemble it yourself. We used to do these things.

Inconceivable!

I have no idea. But they had amazing food haha. Ceviche and Pisco sours... I didn't taste any asbestos or anything!

Nothing active. But even Santa Lucia is a former volcano (about 15 million years old).

You say pickerel and know about Goldeye. Manitoba or Minnesota or similar? ;)

I hate fishing games. Just chance games to waste time. But I also hate fishing so...

While we're on that topic, Negash Coffee (Niverville, MB) is an interesting one. They are locally owned in Niverville. But the owners are immigrants to Canada and their family runs their actual plantation in Ethiopia. So it's vertically integrated with known sourcing.

Yeah, if you do it often enough, it'd get so routine as to be super boring. But at least you get to think a bit about it if each case is distinct -- as opposed to assembly line construction.

Honestly I should have a plastic cover for it -- like computers in the 1980s! But mostly I just take the air duster to it before starting, and make sure the rails are not binding. If they are, I swab them out and add a little lithium grease.

The blue stuff is Canadian Tire Mastercraft. Which is likely different from the US Mastercraft brand. Not sure what Kobalt is.

The only real tools in the photo are the mini metal lathe by Proxxon and a higher end 3D printer from Makergear.

 

If the user has more than one community they're moderating, the ModView is the feed of only those communities. It's really useful in the desktop version of Lemmy. Wish I could use it in the app. Not sure how difficult to implement. Maybe only show it if you're mod of more than one community or something, so as not to clutter the list of feeds for everyone else.

Awesome work btw. Anything I can do to help?

 

It was pure luck that led to the actual discovery of vitamin C. Axel Holst and Theodor Frolich had been studying beriberi (another deficiency disease) in pigeons, and when they decided to switch to a mammal model, they serendipitously chose guinea pigs, the one animal besides human beings and monkeys that requires vitamin C in its diet. Fed a diet of pure grain, the animals showed no signs of beriberi, but quickly sickened and died of something that closely resembled human scurvy.

 

Stopped in on a whim while killing time as a tourist. Worth every penny!
