Haven’t been West, just back and forth a bunch of times to the East coast. It would be a new adventure for sure.

I also like their premier Wab, which would be an upgrade to all these mob boss/ con provinces. I’ll miss the deadline for UofWinnepeg next term but will keep my eyes peeled from now on

What did you decide on?

My soup this week is beef, 1 onion, 3 carrots, peas, a whole tomato with the skin, 3 potatoes, parsley, thyme, oregano, sage, turmeric, ginger, & homemade chicken stock

I don’t use baking soda on meats for soup as it tastes soapy to me (ph changes) but I do for stirfry

I was just texting about this yesterday and started job searching in Manitoba. Turns out they need scientists in my field there… I am seriously debating a change in province. I can’t be there in time for the new semester with surgeries and whatnot coming up, but maybe spring/summer

I enjoy academic writing when it’s some topic I can get passionate about, but in undergrad they make you do it at least twice per course

I was not super into stats, arcGIS, or some of the geology/geophysics courses. Ankylosaurs ✅ astrophysics ✅ Biomechanics ✅ Sage Grouse ✅ even philosophy ✅ etc..

Thanks! I’ll def need my adhd meds. Hoping to push it from Jan to Sept

I have to go do some mandatory upgrading soon to maintain my professional designations and kinda dreading it, paying to be bored sucks.

Saaaame. My kid is too close to the border. I’m only a few hours North… which is nothing for a plane

I don’t know about writers block, but I do get ‘writers boredom’ sometimes while writing uninteresting science papers for courses that are mandatory & I otherwise wouldn’t take.

When it comes to fiction I have ‘writers diarrhoea’ where I just can’t stop and don’t know how, so keep on writing…

I wonder if they realize Foodbanks/ppl donating to foodbanks buy the cheapest food regardless of the source, and right now that is US stuff like Campbells Soup cause it’s all marked down for expiring /coming to exp date?

Everyone is stocking up for Xmas hampers

Don’t get me wrong. I do get to have a lot of fun!

I burn hot and fast then flicker as quickly. Just waiting for another spark to light me up.

But for a long time I doubted romantic love was anything more than hormones and a fleeting chemical reaction. I understand familial love a lot better.

Also had its start in Canada. I own a few. Singles wear…. Ice breaker hats letting ppl know you are approachable

I could probably vacuum seal and mail a homemade one the way my mom sends me cookies….. provided we avoid an xmas postal strike

I’ll be doing holiday baking for gifts this year with some homemade personalized yet nonsensical crafts 😁😁

They already fixed the problem of the kids who paid getting real pizza slices vs the kids who ate free lunches getting english muffins. It singles out the poor. So they stopped doing it

Now everyone gets the same quality whether they paid or not

You keep moving the goalpost. Try brainstorming solutions with the school, or teaching kids not to be dicks about who takes a free lunch

Trust me. They already know who the poor kids are based on their handmedowns, walmart clothes, and lack of ‘insert brand name here’ shoes

Let kids eat

End rant…. For now

I do agree there needs to be transparency in the meals. Instead of hot vs cold option vs vegan vs halal
Actually list the meals being offered by the distributer so you can select which ones your kid would eat

That doesn’t mean this program won’t work to keep kids fed when they need it

It can work

Offering a balanced lunch option is a luxury I wish I had. Even if I had to ‘pick off’ the foods I didn’t like, something my kiddo still does

But rather than talking with schools to ensure quality of options, people are looking to make sure it fails instead of brainstorming a winning solution
