Wow they sound like a nice family run Canadian business! I may end up buying from them I think. They even plant 5 trees and 5 kelp in Canadian forests per uke!
10% off and free shipping right now too
And replaced with cheap, exploitable TFWs!
Definitely, the quality difference is unbelievable!
I find most of the people I know that complain cafés are too expensive drink drip anyways and it seems to be about the same price everywhere 🤷♂️. Its $2.16 for a large drip at Tim's here, and $2-$3 at most every local café I've ever been to apart from really bougie ones.
People just see the $4-6+ milk drinks and blended frozen drinks (with real ingredients, apples-oranges) and get sticker shock compared to Tim's fake whipped topping and sweetener sludge (sorry, "iced capp") for $4.19 when they could be enjoying much better drip in the meantime for effectively the same price.
I have a poker dice board from them! Really great quality and fair pricing
Mary Brown's has good chicken. Big Mary Monday deal used to be good, don't have any around here now.
A&W is awesome. Canadian ones are locally owned by franchisees and it shows in the quality. Antibiotic free run Canadian chicken last I checked. Free run Canadian eggs. Good quality Canadian beef. Canadian vege for the most part I think... All for the same price as the slop served at other fast food joints these days. The coffee isn't my favourite but I know lots of people that like going there for breakfast and don't seem to mind. Usually has a decent sit down atmosphere for breakfast. Lots of them host car meets still in the summer.
I WISH Robin's Donuts was still around. Unfortunately Timmies all but put them out of business before enshittifying. I randomly found one up around Lake Superior a couple years ago in some small town if I remember right. They must have bought out the location and kept it going. They were still baking fresh donuts in house, had the same mugs, same coffee. It was like stepping into a time capsule and made me loathe what capitalism has done to Timmies.
For coffee you are usually best finding whatever local non-chain café you like best and stick with that. If I'm visiting somewhere I'm not familiar with I just search for a non-chain café and get to try some new coffee.
If you really like the chain coffee shop vibe I believe Blenz and Second Cup are both decent Canadian founded and owned still, maybe someone else can confirm, I can't find the details rn
Edit: to add emphasis
My god was East Side Mario's disappointing when I tried it again about 2 years ago... Sure has gone down in quality and up in price.
Ah lucky, I wish I had known about them when I was living in Ontario!

Excellent read.
No doubt that cunt Rosalyn Bird (PG MLA) will gladly support Parmar and Fehr further dismantling our lumber industry in the name of bribes and short term buyouts.
Way too close for comfort though
Honestly if you are complaining about pop ups on every site maybe you should just install ublock origin like the rest of us. Just a suggestion 👍
Try grapheneos on your pixel. Performance will be night and day. They have an installer on their website so simple a monkey could do it
The café my partner used to work at had all compostable takeout stuff. Despite having a city wide compostable pickup program they did not bother with a compost bin so it all went directly in the trash. So I wouldn't assume its going to be properly disposed of, even when proper options exist.
I'd say Aegis (2FA) has to be #1 for me. It just does everything perfectly.
After that the combo of logseq + syncthing is pretty deadly
Ah okay thanks I'll do some searching
Reminder to please not abuse Darn Tough's warranty everyone!
i.e. if you find a pair of darn tough socks at a thrift store for $1, cool great find! Enjoy your almost free, very long lasting pair of high quality socks. But that does not entitle you to turn around and return those socks for a warranty on a brand new pair forever.
People abusing warranties is how every lifetime warranty eventually gets gutted. So if you like the socks, support the brand so they stay around awhile.
P.S. they are Made in Vermont
Sorry is there a link here I'm not seeing on my app... Which brand shorts are they?
Second this. Get a few pairs of different weights and you are set for life in all weather conditions.
I wear a pair of darn tough boot socks for about 3 days before they start having any smell at all. Just hang em up when you get home from work and the wool will air out by the next day. If especially bad you can hang them in the bathroom before you shower so they get a light steam too.
