It’s like a built in skill question. If you can’t pick your candidate off a list with several names maybe you shouldn’t vote.

Agreed. I am very much not sure if I’ll watch it. It could ruin it all.

Canadian blueberries are out now!

There are more reasons to drop Reddit than the US boycott.

Do we really need an US ambassador in our country? I don’t think so.

[–] bowreality@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago

They expected that we roll over! They haven’t seen nothing yet.

How long I expect this to last vs how long I’ll boycott is not really the same answer. The more we can shift what’s in stores the better. There are so many good products out there and so many friendly countries making stuff, boycotting the US is really not super hard and will only get easier. The US should be very worried (I know they aren’t).

I do the same. I even sort through pineapples (Costa Rica) to find one brand (Pink Pelican) that’s from Ontario and not an US importer. Sometimes they only have the US import ones and I am just not buying pineapple that week. I find something else. Like kiwi from NZ.

People do what they can. Big spenders would also have a larger impact on the boycott than low income. So let low income households get the deals on US produce and have them save some money! We saw strawberries from the US for $1.70 yesterday. I can’t ever remember seeing them that cheap here. And they looked really good too! I hope that helps families that might not be able to afford them usually or only rarely!

My household spends a fair bit on quality ingredients and we are making sure none of our money goes to the US. Even if it costs us more.

Excellent news!

[–] bowreality@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

Agree. It was a fun trip. Like a fever dream.

I got my “hustle” sign installed! It switches on when I start a AF+ workout and off when I am done. Can’t wait for the stack feature to see if it stays on during consecutive workouts. For now it triggers on and off with each which is fine too.

I now have sometimes (!) the issue that it triggers the outlet (Meross brand) on and then right away off again. So odd! It’s supposed to go on when fitness focus comes on and off when fitness focus is disabled.

Could it be that it’s a Meross plug issues?

 

I am having some issues burnishing some chrome tans. I would love to hear what everybody is using to burnish edges please

 

Is this sub about affinity designer etc?

My first one to flower is literally the most unexpected. I had bought several a few years back and I had a lot of root pieces left in the box. I dumped them in a corner of the chicken garden. They were doing super well and now the first to flower if from this “leftover bits” planting. Lol

Lesson here is plant every single piece!

 

I would love to start a (maybe monthly?) WIP showcase. Any interest? I’ll comment on what I am working on below. Feel free to add yours as well

 

I got a message a couple of times now over night that a shortcut was activated. I am pretty new to this so I don’t have much. I only get these messages on and off now since I created a shortcut that activates when I switch to fitness focus. I have other automations, mostly manually triggered (outlet on/off stuff). And one that is timed for Sunday night. I can’t figure out what triggers these messages now. Like last night at 10:40pm while I was asleep and my sleep mode on.

 

What is your June challenge and how is it going?

 

I would love to discuss designs and esthetics here as well. I got this new closure for a handbag and I am wondering if I need to go with a somewhat round or even just rounded corners?! Any ideas?

 

Fantastic workout by Jenn this week. 30 minutes with some HIIT moves (squat jumps and side jumps). Also great outfits and Madonna songs. Highly recommend it. link

I am still fairly new to Leathercraft and just got into making handbags. Here are some pics of my first two handbags made from my own designs. Leather is Hidden Water from Sepici (green) and Blue Tidal from Arif & Sons (Blue)
