Long-time software developer. A pleasant curmudgeon.
Canadian dairy product prices (for dairy products made in Canada) have always been roughly double US prices. That's how dairy production works in Canada. So there's always been a tariff at the border for dairy products from the US. I even got dinged once bringing 4 gal of milk from the US to Canada.

I've thought of a home water treatment system for a while in case of a Flint, MI situation or, more recently, PFAs. Dysentery and cholera (and others) were not use cases I thought I'd need to worry about.

So $25. Before or after tax? USD or gift source currency? MSRP or actual price?

As Jack Reacher says, details matter.

But you're right. The dual standard is ludicrous.

I had mine for a good six months before I learned that the slider was attached magnetically and not mechanically.

On the flip side, I'm holding in my hand a package that arrived yesterday, but USPS says it won't be delivered until tomorrow.

When I do that, I think Rider gives me an option to reset all editor fonts to my default.

Must be a common problem if they added a UI feature to reset.

My general rule with most recipes is to double (at least) the garlic. Side bonus is zero vampire problems.

Thursday forecast: high of 42, low of 27. Rain and snow possible. A crazy swing.

But no, childless cat ladies and the dietary habits of Ohioans are clearly the critical issue.
