I work a 4/3, my normal weekends are long weekends. Stat holiday Mondays make for an extra long weekend. Canada Day was a Tuesday this year so I took Monday off and got a 5 day weekend in exchange for 1 vacation day.
Tell me about it. I've voted for the party that best represents me for a while now. This election is wholly different as the incumbent is retiring and not up for re-election. My liberal choice is a "get in by any means" type who rolled as conservative two elections ago. I really like Carney but when it comes to voting strategically I'm not sure I can do it with the liberal candidate in my district, so may still go NDP. My district has no actual polling data either, just estimates, so that makes it all the more murky.
Lightning bugs, aka Fireflies, are harmless. Their little butts just emit flashes of light from internal chemical reaction, like a short lived glow stick. If you encounter a field with a bunch of them, it's real pretty.
Surprisingly, yes. I made some risky decisions between 2020-2022 that paid off significantly, though.
The pandemic turned my prior job to 100% remote and I got in writing from their HR that I could move anywhere in my province. This allowed me to find a house I was able to afford buying, so that's what I did with the support of my wife. About a year after that I got a much higher paying job local to my new home, which is when I beat or matched my parent's income at the time which certainly was more than when she was my age.
I lept into the unknown and didn't die, it's been great!
From the valve to the tip of the nozzle still holds gas that hasn't let go yet. Just like when you pour water from a cup, there's still water left gripping the cup that can condense into larger droplets and drip out as soon as you put it back in your pants, unless you shake it a few times first.
I worked at one those "we'll make you custom chocolates and candies with your branding on them" candy factories in college and it was about on the same level. Not bad but not worthy of "the best in the world".
On a side note, the micromints were the best product but worst to make. Absolutely covered in powdered sugar walking home in humid summer weather suuuucked. They really should have given me a smock to wear instead of me being in my street clothes.
I'm 10's and live 10 minutes away so it's nowhere near as bad, but I can understand that for sure.
