Recently $23 dollars in $1 bills. Which is strange for Canada in 2022 since dollar bills were discontinued in 1989.

I can't sleep in anything that moves even slightly. I was on a ferry when it was stuck in ice. I had been awake since the morning before, I couldn't sleep on the ferry even immobile due to any vibration. If I was on a train I&#x27

It's the same in my province for rural areas. I recall fiber optic lines being run in the mid 1990s but then nothing. Politicians promising just basic Internet connectivity at first then "high speed" (the famous up to) for th

I live in south-eastern Canada today it was 35C which is something I've never seen here. And the humidity at one point was 90% which is typical since I am on an island. Thankfully it went to about 70%. I felt tired it wears you out eve

The cheap metal roof types look bad the long sheets with high fastening ridges. But you can get metal rooves that look indistinguishable from slate or other materials. It's a great idea to get a metal roof first then solar. Even the ch

My weight was a consistent 150 pounds since I was 14 years old. I joked to myself I was a robot since it was incredibly consistent for decades. I would often go entire days without eating. My family says as a kid or teen I would always cove

I'd say many people also assume such things about my country Canada. Both Canada and Australia have small populations, large land area, and are not in the news much. Out of sight out of mind and one day we're in the news. For exam

He does but it's inferred. Song writing is an art it's not like a technology where you can point to power usage and how v 2 is better than v1 to show the thing is now better, great. He goes into great detail about the entire songs

The Canadian Cancer Society has a UV camera in a box. People stick their head in and it shows the hundred of freckles, blotches, sunspots under your skin you can't see now but will later. Then they ask you to put on sunscreen and where
