  • The warnings on the packages did absolutely nothing to stop me and my friend from starting when we were teens. The negative effects of smoking are perceived to be so minute to a teen that it isn't going to have an effect on the majority of them.

    I dunno about y'all but my friends and I were not thinking any or health when we were 17 and the threat of maybe getting cancer in 40 years was not a deterrent since that's like 40 years from now.

    Taxing them to the point that no one can afford to buy them is the best solution. No teen can afford to support a smoking habit if they were 30+ a pack. Hell I'd quit if they got up that high, I'm already trying to ween myself off because of the high price.

  • I don't think anybody has a problem with the fact that a building houses more than one family...

    It is because of parking. Every additional unit will require parking spaces, those units will have guests who must likely will park on the street and that's what gets the neighbourhood pitchforks out. They will scream how there will simultaneously be too much congestion and no parking spaces but also that people will speed down the street and make the neighbourhood unsafe. Parking and building height (neighbourhood character) are the two bullets nimbys use to kill a lot of housing projects.

    BC will be introducing legislation in the fall that permits up to 4 units per parcel on all parcels. I'm interested to see how its handled by zoning and what things will look like in a few years. Hopefully this gets cities to start investing in transit as the higher densities might be able to support it.

  • You can buy the Philadelphia cream cheese smoked salmon spread, it's not the best but it's ok, you get what you pay for. Otherwise you make your own with your own smoke salmon which I'm sure you can buy from somewhere, I live around a lot of First Nations so fresh salmon is easy to find where I live. You can make it yourself with a smoker or buy premade.

    I like putting it on bagels myself but you could throw it on a sandwich by itself or mixed in with some cream cheese.

  • It doesn't beat homemade stuff with real smoke salmon, that's for sure. I live in BC and get the good stuff from the res, plus my dad's been smoking his own for my whole life. That being said, I like the Philly stuff for nostalgic reasons, reminds me of childhood yknow.

  • It's from the Reddit days, there was a rule that you had to post before leaving so people would title their post rule to signify they were abiding by the rule. It's just carried over there, I find it kind of helpful in determining what sub or community I'm on without having to look at it.

  • It could also lead to better productivity and less turn over with employees which would be a net positive in the end. When I did labour jobs 2 days off was not enough for me to recover, 3 days off would have been better for my body and mental health and maybe I would've stuck around longer.

    And these were the same excuses used when we went to 40 hours a week and the world kept on turning.

  • I second this. Mini series that are like 8 to 12 hour long episodes are perfect. Long enough to tell a full story and hit all the beats but short enough that you don't have to sit through a bunch of bullshit filler that adds nothing to the story.

  • I got my Chromecast like 10 years ago and have the same issue with YouTube casting. Netflix is also pretty terrible and only connects 50% of the time, but once it's connected it's good. It wouldn't be so bad if it just let me cast my whole screen and not open some dumb app like with every other website.

    The dumb thing is I can watch shows in HD issue free from a free streaming site on my pc but the second I cast it my internet goes to shit and I have to leave it on 720 or it buffers endlessly. I should just switch to the HDMI cable route but I don't want a cord hanging across the floor, too many dogs.
