Some books I buy to read now. Some books I buy to read at an undefined “later.” Browsing my shelves is exciting when I know there are books there that I’ve yet to really encounter.

That’s an incredible post. Thank you for sharing it!

To become a Canadian citizen you’d have to start by emigrating here, then get your Permanent Resident status, and then apply for citizenship.

Here’s some general information in immigrating to Canada: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada.html

1. Canada (I live here)
2. USA (many many family/friend visits since I was a child; also lived there for ~6 years as an adult)
3. England (one week in London, one week in the South Downs)
4. Denmark (three weeks for a family visit)
5. France (a weekend in Paris)
6. Belgium (about 2-3 days in Bruges)
7. The Netherlands (about 2-3 days in Delft)
8. Germany (roughly 6 hours, driving from Belgium to Denmark)

Oh! I had one just like that when I was a kid!

I’m not sure about online sources, but this is a solid reference book: https://editors.ca/publications/editing-canadian-english/

I saw sen-tar as well!

I use a mix of the two depending on the word.

Hello, may I introduce you to Canadian English?

You’d be losing a lot of extra product to the trimming that way – or you’d maybe have to use individual molds for each bar. With a rectangular shape, you can pour the soap into slabs and then cut everything exactly to size with very little wastage.

I found a video showing the process (you can skip to about 3:30): https://youtu.be/TvIBzCIwpLM

Who exactly is examining your purchase orders for childfree ideological purity? You’re a grownup. If you want the comfy pillow, you can buy the comfy pillow.

Maybe look for coverage of a topic or event from a few major US media sites/papers, and then at the same event from somewhere outside the US.

Not quite what you’re asking, but similar energy I think!

Give me a Star Trek-style replicator and I’m never cooking dinner again.

Oh hey, we had one of those disasters in Canada! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_pay_system

Aren’t those kinds of decisions made in the writers’ room, though?

I use Boost and the topic keyword blocker works really well. I’ve got a lot of political words blacklisted and it’s made browsing All much more pleasant.

I remember when our family would go bowling, my parents made us all change our clothes as soon as we got home because of the cigarette reek. I’m so glad those days are gone.

In my experience a women’s wide is akin to a men’s regular.

Skunks are common city animals, so it’s a little more surprising to me that you haven’t encountered then before. But for the most part they’re pretty chill little guys, and forage widely – so seeing one in your yard doesn’t mean they’ve taken up residence. They eat grubs mostly (which is great for lawns and gardens).

As others have said, as long as you’re not getting up in their faces, you shouldn’t have any problems.

Even if the length is the same, men’s shoes tend to be wider than women’s (sometimes much wider). So swapping is great if you’re a woman with wide feet, but if you’re a man with wide or even average feet, it would be much harder to swap to a woman’s shoe.
