If you haven't tried the Enzyme supplement Fodzyme I can't recommend it enough.
Ever since I started using it I can (mostly) freely eat foods with garlic and onions as well as a host of other things.
It doesn't work on everything, but I have been ordering it since April and I am no longer reading every label on everything to avoid being sick.
Everyone is different so there's no guarantees on what will work for you, but I've been telling everyone about it (mostly because people always ask what I'm sprinkling on nearly everything I eat).
I get the brown jar because the individual pouches are a rip off, but it's less of an investment if you want to try!
It's just under 200K a house which seems pretty reasonable for mobilizing construction crews, materials, and potentially infrastructure for 117 homes.
If you're gonna build me a quality home for $11,450 (22,900,000/2000) with electric/plumbing/sewage/natural gas/internet service I'd be happy to buy some off you!
Don't know where you got the idea that houses are super low cost things, but I'd do my best to immediately buy any newly built home for 200K. That's like the cost of a permanent parking spot in some Ontario cities.
Wouldn't the inside of your house still have wood framing structure like this though? Looks like this neighbourhood uses vinyl siding, but you could easily have a brick/stone/stucco exterior.
Isn't it way harder to run plumbing/electric through cinder blocks, let alone hanging drywall? Or do you build a cinderblock box first and then frame the inside with wood?
This place looks like it doesn't have a basement, which is a must in Canada, and all our basements are generally concrete pour or cinderblocks, but we still have framing on the inside walls, and usually everything above the basement is wood + facade
All the taxes I manage to evade (buying/selling a couple hundred dollars worth of stuff from Kijiji/marketplace) wouldn't really affect me.
But scraping hedge funds and professional tax dodgers would put a ton of cash into public funds, so I'm all for it.
Kind of hate that slippery slope argument of yours "if they can take millions from greedy billionaires, imagine how many millions they'll take from you!" is a shit argument that defends serious tax evasion.
First they came for the billionaires, and I did nothing, 'cause fuck em' that's why.
Independants/undecided voters and people who don't generally participate in democracy
Something like 60% of people vote in federal elections if we're lucky. Obviously they aren't all going to unanimously vote for only one party - but Republicans are notorious for showing up to vote on anything.
No wonder as an adult I'm comfortable playing games like dead space and resident evil alone in the dark with headphones on for maximum immersion - I've been exposed to incomprehensible horrors since I've been able to remember!
Depends on where you are financially. If you have a fixed rate mortgage that is getting renewed in the next year or two - you'll see a big jump in payments if you aren't able to extend your mortgage.
If you're still on variable, no real change.
If you're renting, rents will continue to climb if interest rates go up or plateau - but don't ever expect prices to come back down, if you're lucky they'll stagnate for a year but that's unlikely because landlords are greedy shits.
Businesses are cutting jobs as there's less money in the market (all going to shelter and food plus general Greed of making less people do the same/more as a larger group), so if you're unfortunate enough to have a mortgage that's renewing soon and you lose your job and EI can't cover the difference, you'll probably have to sell or lose your home... And still be unable to afford rent.
This has been the goal of every level of government for a while, municipalities refused density, provinces refused to prioritize any public housing (Doug in Ontario is sitting on 22 Billion as education, healthcare, and housing are floundering, so he gifts developers billions in prime Greenbelt lands for single detached millionaire homes) and the Feds can't really do much with provincial and municipal governments running interference - aside from use their own central banks to get essentially interest free loans and build federal public housing. Which they should but certainly aren't.
Oh, and the Bank of Canada is crushing developers with interest rates so they're cancelling or pausing projects because they're unprofitable with these interests rates - or they're colluding and holding us over a barrel because our government cannot successfully accomplish anything without overpaying a private business who underpay their workers to do it for them.
If you keep your job and bought a home within your means, it'll be lean times but not impossible to overcome. Don't be afraid to use food banks or anything to keep yourself afloat. Times are tough af and there is little relief on the horizon.
Canadian farmers are notorious for using TFW as free labour, often underpaying, overworking, and threatening TFW's with deportation or other punishments while reaping huge profits and refusing to hire local workers.
Everything our government does Lib or Con has the goal of extracting value for wealthy interests. People need to start paying attention and voting as progressively as possible.
We are leaving so much quality of life on the table (higher wages, holidays, benefits) by not holding our government accountable for anything, and somehow think not paying attention to boring politics is the answer.
Most of the people who could stand to benefit from progressive leaders never show up to vote, or if they can be assed to vote, do absolutely zero research and vote entirely based on emotion or an irrelevant issue.
Government absolutely works, there is a reason its heavily lobbied and every wealthy person votes in 100% of any election possible to further their own agenda.
Step 1: get Blundstones for work and never worry about laces again!
Otherwise, I only tie the affected shoe unless it's clear that the unaffected one is compromised.
Please tell me you didn't start with the untied lace. If I saw you notice one of your shoes were untied and you started by un/retying the other one first I would immediately and permanently be convinced you were, or are about to become, a serial killer.
RIF was working for about a month after the shut down (shit down?) but I was logged out and strictly lurking.
Lemmy has been way more stable for me in the past 2 weeks as well.
I'll use my browser to look at reddit without being logged in every now and then, but honestly 90% of the major news is on Lemmy anyhow and the memes and community are 10x better than anything on Reddit since about a decade.
Only thing left for Lemmy is more local/provincial communities gaining traction on Lemmy, but I'm in no rush at all. I'd rather have a limited user base with genuine interaction than the shit slide botfest reddit feels like now
Are you suggesting that anything about the internet hasn't reduced attention spans?
Especially as it's becoming more accessible and common for younger people to get more exposure during key points in brain development.
It goes beyond simple accessibility and engagement, if young people are not participating in these social medias it can become harder to connect with your peers - so you're almost socially punished for not embracing and participating in brain rot (all social media, not just Tik Tok).
