Oops, thought that at first, but seems I got my brain in a twist and got the mental math wrong somehow. Thanks for the clarification!

I wasn't aware we had any footwear brands here! Thanks, I'll keep this in mind for when I need to get a pair.

If you're a tomato juice enjoyer, the No Name tomato juice is just as good as the Heinz tomato juice. While Heinz tomato juice is made in Canada, I'd much rather not fork my money to an American brand, even if the No Name stuff could possibly be from the same production facility.

Unless you're opting for a low-salt diet, I'd suggest avoiding the PC Blue Menu one though. The lack of salt means the drink tastes a lot more bland, and I personally put it to waste as much as I hate to say.

Selling these things individually isn't all that uncommon. I can't name a single grocer in my area that refuses to sell bars like these individually.

Protein bars are often sold in the same area of grocery stores with options to purchase either individual bars as a pick-me-up snack or by the box for the pantry. They do the same with similar things like Cliff and RX bars so these being sold individually as well comes as no surprise.

That's awesome! Glad to see the collab!

Saw this getting featured on my home instance (lemmy.ca). Is sh.itjust.works hosted in Canada? If so, had no clue.

Yeesh, does the link description always include the entire sidebar?

 

I made this community about a week or so ago on the Lemmy.ca to help promote Canadian music and musicians. Been posting each day, with features in the community such as a ListenBrainz playlist for songs shared in the community, weekly featured artists, and weekly discussion posts (currently paused until Monday to sync it with the start of the week).

This is something I'm incredibly passionate about. Canada has a lot of music talent that is overlooked, and while the amount of Canadian music talent has done nothing but grow, the discoverability for Canadian musicians has faltered in recent years with the decline in local Canadian music publications.

Please come in and share tunes from Canadian musicians, inform people of music tours occurring in Canada, and showcase Canadian music news and magazine articles!

And although he does not blame Trump personally for the economic downturn, “the people he’s appointed and the way they’re going about things, it’s not OK,” he said.

Bruh, one bad pick for a leader to make is understandable. Things happen. When it's the entire fucking administration, maybe, just maybe, the person heading it has more than a little responsibility for shit hitting the fan?

Good lord man, talk about a lack of critical thinking skills.

 

Hi all! Been thinking of making this community for a few days now seeing there weren't any Flexitarian communities on Lemmy.

I've been trying to go vegan for some time now, but it's been a bit of a struggle balancing out the diet and other personal values I hold. Tariffs have gotten me wanting to purchase more stuff made here in Canada, which has made utilizing some vegan substitutes a pain, and it pains me seeing foods made with meat go to waste, as it feels as though an animal would have died for nothing, let alone what I perceive to be people's selfish desire for meat at the expense of an animal's life and suffering.

My reasons may differ from others, and I really hope that this community can foster some genuine, respectful conversation as to what reasons people follow flexitarianism, and the differences in lifestyle choices people make and why. I hope to make this community one that fosters positive vibes and interactions, and look forward to seeing what others have to share!

 

Pegmode hails from Edmonton! Please give the album a full listen, it's incredible!

If the American faculty are so offended by that they can waltz right back to where they fucking came from.

 

Thanks to @[email protected] for the suggestion!

This playlist will encompass all individual tracks shared here in the Maple Music community. I chose ListenBrainz as the place to host it as MetaBrainz is a non-profit organization despite being in the U.S., it has the perk of being able to add music from any platform to the playlist, and one can play songs in the playlist directly on the playlist page using the YouTube embed the site provides.

While ListenBrainz does have these perks, it by no means is perfect either. In creating the playlist I had to create new entries for some of the songs and their respective releases on MusicBrainz. That in itself isn't an issue, however, tracks that are newly added to MusicBrainz may display as blank in the playlist temporarily before appearing the same way other entries do.

Also, the YouTube embed feature isn't exactly perfect either. Sometimes the wrong video will be grabbed from YouTube. This is especially the case with really underground music, where there may not be uploads on YouTube. For electronic music, I've found it to be the case that videos of rhythm games such as osu! and BeatSaber may appear instead of the song itself.

Happy listening!

Maybe try Tbooth Wireless? I did a quick search on Wikipedia, and seems the company that owns WirelessWave also owns that store franchise as well.

Holding company (Glentel) is Canadian, and going further, they're jointly owned by Bell and Rogers.

WirelessWave?

 

Cousin Harley is a wonderful Blues band that hails from Vancouver! Please give their stuff a listen, it's genuinely all incredible.

 

Sorry for the inconvenience! This week we're skipping the weekly discussion post in order to regularly schedule them on Mondays. After this however, there shouldn't be any gaps for the foreseeable future.

 

Been working on grabbing a few movies from online to download and save as more options for movie nights with friends on top of the DVDs and VHS tapes I have.

I'm aware one can find mentions on Wikipedia or the Internet Archive saying "oh this film is public domain", but the sourcing seems to be sketchy a lot of the time. Like a Wikipedia article will mention a movie is public domain, and then link to a site for public domain movies or the Internet Archive with neither stating why the film is public domain.

Is there a simple means to check for yourself the copyright status of movies? Would help a lot with having confidence in the collection of films I'm building up.

 

Band hails from Burlington, Ontario.
