You know the smell dirt makes when its wet? It’s called petrichor and humans can smell it better than sharks smell blood in the water. It is detectable by the human nose at 0.4 parts per BILLION. This gave early humans a huge advantage in finding water when needed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrichor

Ahh ok. There is actually a Durham City in the USA that often gets confused with Durham Region on the internet. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durham,_North_Carolina

Is this real? It has been twenty years since I moved away from Durham region but this dumpster fire of an ad does not surprise me at all.

Actually this is Durham region. A county near Toronto.

The article is about honey taken from grocery stores in Sweden not being honey. Did I somehow miss Sweden leaving Europe?

There are companies that pick up that stuff from all around and deliver it to your door. No need for driving or crowded food libraries. I can recommend mamaearth.ca if you’re in the Toronto area. It has been over a year since I’ve set foot in a grocery store and I don’t see that changing unless I forget something important for a meal that can’t wait til tomorrow.

Jenna Ortega. For awhile I only saw her name in poor bastardizations of my favourite childhood media and it has soured me on her work entirely.

Last time I felt that way was during my final tree planting contract five years ago. Set a new personal best at 4500 trees despite only having six hours to work that day. People over thirty tend to break down from the toll the job takes on the body, so I was equally suprised and proud to set a new record while being the oldest guy in the camp.

If you think thats weird you haven’t even scratched the surface on Zuck. He actually idolizes Emperor Augustus Caesar so much that he copied the guys haircut for most of his career. Behind the Bastards does a good job of highlighting it. If you want a quick readable version, here’s the first non paywalled article I could find. https://www.businessinsider.com/mark-zuckerberg-fascinated-by-augustus-future-of-facebook-2018-9

Yup looks like unhealthy cannabis to me. If it was raspberry like another commenter mentioned, there would be some small thorns. I do not consider myself an expert, but I have worked with plants all my life and keep plant ID books handy.

My Polish father in law makes it with bacon and it is by far the best fermented food I’ve ever enjoyed. I’ll see if I can get the recipe.

How about I trade you two dozen eggs for those bills? Eggs are only worth a few dollars a dozen north of the border. We’d share more, but your leader is threatening our future.

Dorothy rose columbine. Beautifully built for butterflies and hummingbirds.

Yes. I live on one of the major roads he’s removing the bike lane from and the entire neighbourhood is pissed. He’s always looking for creative ways to punish Toronto because we don’t vote for him.

He’s only in power because ignorant and biased media like the article above convinced suburbanites to vote for him. His support in the cities and rural Canada is dismal but he keeps winning by offering things he can’t actually provide like one dollar beers and cheap gas.

This headline is very misleading. Ford already has a majority government allowing him to do whatever he wants and plenty of time left in his term. This election is about getting ahead of the federal election. Traditionally Ontario likes to vote in premieres that belong to the party opposite of whomever is running the country federally. Right now the federal conservatives lead the polls and a we know a federal election is coming before the end of the year. Doug Ford knows he needs to have an election ahead of that or his chances of remaining in power are slim. Tariffs are just a convenient boogeyman he’s using to try and stay in power longer. He even made sure to send everyone a 200 bucks and timed it so people got it shortly before he announced this election.

Before he started this “Canada is not for sale” bullshit, his slogan for our province was “Ontario, open for business”. Please don’t fall for it. Ford’s demolition of our health care has directly harmed several people close to me and his anti-worker bill 124 took thousands out of my pocket despite it being declared unconstitutional.

I’ve been asking people this a lot lately just to be sure there’s no fascists in my orbit. Thankfully everyone has answered Nazis so far.

This goes against the TOS for both games. If you play either, I highly recommend flooding them with reports on that. It would be great to see him banned. He’ll probably just set up a new account and start again, but it’ll cost him and you know he’ll keep cheating so you can just rinse and repeat.

I haven’t gagged this hard at a picture on the internet since my last look at the original rotten.com over 20 years ago. Good job OP!

Pretty sure The Most Unwanted Song takes the cake on that front. It has bagpipes and opera rap! Good luck listening all the way through. https://youtu.be/-gPuH1yeZ08?si=NRXK7GH9qnDbGt3H

Not sure about a decrease, but you can easily get it fully refunded if they fuck up. I tip really well because I used to be a food courier myself. Every few months some idiot delivers my pizza upside down or leaves my order outside my building and I get my tip refunded with ease. I have no idea if that money is refunded from the dasher’s pay though.
