For slippery shoelaces that seem to come undone all the time, I'm so happy I learned Ian's Secure Knot. It's very strong, but still comes undone easily only if you pull on both of the lace endings at the same time. Pulling on one end won't cause the knot to come undone. Once you're practiced, it only takes a bit longer to tie than a regular shoelace knot.
French taught on Canada (outside Quebec) is France French, not Quebec French. My source on this is that I was taught to say "we" for "oui" and not "wayh". And the Quebec French sound I'm only getting from comediens on CBC so that could be way off.
I'm a fan of Family Feud for kinda mindless trivia questions, and Family Feud Canada ain't bad. The questions aren't real trivia, but survey results, so trying to get in the heads of the average Canadian is fun.
I had no idea who Mark Carney was until I saw his interview with Jon Stewart. I thought the interview went pretty well but he's obviously not as good at interviews as Jon. Definitely seems like an outsider and didn't talk like a politician.
I've seen a number of comments with a visible edit that have an even split between down and up votes. I can only assume the edit worked. Not like votes mean anything on Lemmy. It's kinda nice not having the overall "karma" visible at all times.
