I’m still very bitter about the broken electoral reform promise.

I had to create a “if you add one, you sell one” rule after running out of shelf space.

European expansion is worth it! I like the round end goals!

You raise good points. The expensive part for me was the discovery aspect. Once you know what you like it’s not bad but the learning part…trying all the different greens and oolongs and pu’er and black teas - that was a little nuts at the beginning.

Now I have about 10 varieties that I like for different occasions and I stick to those and it’s not too bad.

I have! …then full circle back to grandpa style. I still use a gaiwan from time to time on the weekend but I like bringing a container up with me at my desk without needing to refill constantly.

(That opens up podcast app and plays local news I love it. ). Siri let me know when it’s 12:30. I just wish it got better at answering simple questions. A few articles mentioned Apple started looking at incorporating a GPT style AI with Siri.

Same! Only reason I still use it is for Community events, and neighbour groups. Super useful for that. Wish there was a way to do that without being peppered by ads and reels.

Marketplace is a Kijiji replica so it could die with little consequence IMO.

Fresh cheddar (bonus if in curd form) , warmed in microwave with maple syrup. Sweet, salty, fatty.

Not sure if it’s just in Canada, but that describes Big Turk chocolate bars! They are indeed delicious.
