It’s probably still cheaper in Sweden than it is in Canada with coverage.

Between my government coverage and workplace private coverage, I still have to pay $100 for the eye exam, and I am blind enough that I have to be choosy with frames or I go over the 2 year limit on cost for my glasses (lenses alone cost >$200 before I add coatings, and I only have $500/2yr in coverage for frames, lenses and contacts put together).

Funnily enough, Canada only (partially) pays for vision tests every second year, even with private healthcare, so I have never gotten a yearly eye exam.

In Canada you can opt out of spam, with the exception of political spam.

Its a direct reference to NA schools allowing creationism and science denialism, especially if they are church funded.

My safety razor handle cost me $15, and works great.

Bought a pack of 100 blades for under $20, and that will last me a long ass time (my facial hair growth is slow).

Skype for business was truly awful.

A new convo instance every time I messaged the same person after a few hours of not, taking upwards of 10 minutes to sync convos between my laptop and my phone if it did at all, and the shittiest voice/video functions ever? Glad that shit died, teams seems amazing in comparison.

I nearly assumed I was looking at sm64, but that one is turning 30 next year…

Aren’t baobabs absolutely ancient species of trees?

It could be that they evolved before trees figured shit out, and just… Never needed to change after that.

In Canada, a minimum of 6’ away from the door unless you want a fine.

Anecdotal, but I have owned a total of 3 sapphire amd cards in my lifetime, and all 3 failed much sooner than a GPU should.

It has been about a decade since my last one, so maybe they have stopped using low quality parts, but just wanted to give that input.

Great movie, though a bit disappointed that the ending was so awkward, since the movie director wanted to go with the underaged ship instead of the consenting adults, and had to scramble to change it when the final graphic novel was released.

Which, honestly? I don’t understand, since they made it clear halfway through the series that that pairing was not going to come back.

Oh for sure, its such a bad joke it doesn’t even swing back to being funny.

At the rate he’s tanking things over there though, Canada might be able to buy a fair amount of territory once the guillotines come out though.

I think we would be better off calling it the 4th territory, not the 11th province myself.

Actually no, make Alaska the 4th territory, and the rest of the US the 5th, just to rub salt in the wounds.

At birth*. Deer will drop a Bambi at full sprint to distract a predator.

Sorry, the parts of Canada that don’t idolize Texas don’t burn fossil fuels.

The last wagon style sedan I had had worse fuel efficiency than a modern f150 does (though it was an early 2000’s model).

Brakes on that thing also scared the shit out of me, it did not like stopping.

I will somewhat disagree with the SUV comment, as my escape counts as an SUV, and I regularly fill it far past a sedan’s capacity when I go grocery shopping (the savings from driving 3+hours each way to the nearest Costco far outstrips the cost in gas) and when I go camping.

And, as I camp in a tent, and have kayaks I can strap to the roof, I don’t need a truck at all, because my car can get me to every campsite that a truck can get to, often easier than someone dragging a camper can.

Plus, since its a plug-in hybrid, and Canada doesn’t burn fossil fuels for power, my fuel efficiency is significantly better than the average sedan in drives under 100km, and breaks even above that.

On a 60km drive, I average 2L/100km, a 100km drive I average 4.6L/100km, and on a 300km drive I average 6.6L/100km (100km/h), 7.5L/100km (110km/h), or 8.8L/100km (120km/h), which is well within what sedans average.

Actually, French vanilla is used when actual vanilla bean is used in the flavouring, if it just says vanilla its either artificial or a miniscule amount of extract.

*A Canadian who is stuck having to deal with american terms for many products.

Shh, those are supposed to be stored in a safe/safety deposit box, only to be looked at when verifying your identity with the government.

Apparently they have been going through the last few years of upvote history to ban people now, which is baffling to me.
