Oh! I had one just like that when I was a kid!

I’m not sure about online sources, but this is a solid reference book: https://editors.ca/publications/editing-canadian-english/

Lol I can’t read today

You replied to a comment instead of the OP, so your answer looks a little funny from being out of context, that’s all.

My spouse and I were broke grad students with a baby on the way. We needed a car. Someone in our tiny town was selling a 1992 Accord for $1000 (this was in the early 2010s). We bought it and put in another $1000 to get it to run.

The only problem? It was a stick shift. I didn’t know how to drive standard; at the time, my spouse didn’t drive at all. I tried to learn, but I was so nauseated from my pregnancy that I nearly puked every time the car lurched… which was often. I never did get the hang of it. Eventually we bought a newer automatic car and traded the Accord in for a whopping $250.

These days we could weather a $2000 mistake without too many problems, but back then… yeah, that one hurt.

I saw sen-tar as well!

I use a mix of the two depending on the word.

Hello, may I introduce you to Canadian English?

Pulled pork:

• 1 red onion, thinly sliced, on the bottom layer
• A piece of pork (shoulder is probably best but I’ve also done tenderloin), trimmed
• 1/2 cup BBQ sauce poured over the meat

Cook about 3-4h on high or 6-8ish on low. Remove pork, shred with a fork, return to slow cooker & stir everything up together before serving.

You’d be losing a lot of extra product to the trimming that way – or you’d maybe have to use individual molds for each bar. With a rectangular shape, you can pour the soap into slabs and then cut everything exactly to size with very little wastage.

I found a video showing the process (you can skip to about 3:30): https://youtu.be/TvIBzCIwpLM

Who exactly is examining your purchase orders for childfree ideological purity? You’re a grownup. If you want the comfy pillow, you can buy the comfy pillow.

Maybe look for coverage of a topic or event from a few major US media sites/papers, and then at the same event from somewhere outside the US.

Etc.

That sounds super frustrating!

Our stove has those and I’ve never noticed this; everything takes about the same time to cook as on our last stove, which had the older-style elements. I wonder if it might be a problem with your particular model or brand?

Not quite what you’re asking, but similar energy I think!

I had a second-hand bread machine that served me very well for several years, until one day when it started vibrating like crazy and threw itself off the counter mid-knead. The whole lid smashed into about seven pieces and the dough went all over the floor. We still refer to it as “the time the bread maker committed suicide.”

Anyway, that’s how I ended up making all our bread by hand for the next four years or so.

Give me a Star Trek-style replicator and I’m never cooking dinner again.

Brilliant. Setting up some filters has made browsing All so much better!

People don’t need to engage politically on every single platform they frequent. I’ve blocked a long list of political keywords, because 95% of the political content I see here is about a country I’m not from. Americans can scream at each other to their hearts’ content without my being obligated to participate or even observe.

Oh hey, we had one of those disasters in Canada! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_pay_system

Aren’t those kinds of decisions made in the writers’ room, though?
