Apothecary Diaries

I cannot stress this enough. Apothecary Diaries

Light hearted and fun (low stress):

• Kuma Kuma Kuma bear

• Mashle

• Raising kids while adventuring

• I parry everything

• Killing slimes for 300 years

• By the grace of the gods

• Fluffy paradise

Used to also recommend Bofuri but the last episode of season 2 implies heavily that season 3 is going to head way off in a completely different feel from 1+2

Lighter and did not end on a hard cliffhanger

• Aristocrat’s otherworldly adventures

• Banished former hero lives as he pleases

• Campfire cooking in another world

• Level 2 super cheat powers

• Reincarnated as the 7th prince

• Parallel world pharmacy

• Sleepy princess in the demon castle

• Villainess level 99

• The wrong way to use healing magic

Other suggestions offered based on the person’s preferences:

• Dungeon Meshi

• Goblin Slayer

• So I’m a spider, so what?

• Solo leveling

• That time I got reincarnated as a slime

• Dan da Dan

• The vexations of a shut-in vampire princess

• Ya boy Kongming

• Standalone complex

• One punch man

• Kill la kill

Dan da Dan is just coming out now. First episode animation looked really good and it is off the walls insane.

That’s awesome! I’m jealous. Congrats! :D

Sadly 7x9 is a legal bedroom size here, so long as it has a window. There’s also no requirement for any of the walls to be straight, so I’ve seen some really unlivable room shapes

We’ve been dead set on getting something fully detached since living in an apartment style condo. There’s 0 enforcement of the little bit of laws we have as soon as it’s an apartment building. The city is 100% hands off for anything not detached. None of the laws on the books are focused on or designed with any kind of density in mind.

The condo boards are HOA’s on steroids. The rulers of these little fiefdoms don’t just fuss at your lawn and paint. They decide if/when the roof will be looked at, if they should bother to top up the emergency fund as much as suggested, etc. It’s insane. As much as we prefer the low impact of high density, it’s just not livable.

Family have tried finding apartment buildings (condo or rent) but have given up. All of them are studio, 1, or 2 bedrooms. Max seems to be ~900 sqft, which would be fine if they were square. Unfortunately they all seem to be very long and narrow. The 900sqft also includes balconies, storage spaces, and parking spots here. It’s not great.

Every apartment style condo in this city also has serious building issues. The city just signs and doesn’t inspect. The builders (major builder #451) just disappear after each build as they “go under” and the major builder they were "part of " are not considered liable since it was a subsidiary. Regulations were put in place to prevent this with detached builds but they don’t cover condos.

Until regulations make them livable I doubt we’ll see a serious adoption of them for a while here.

Taking a full breath of air before chugging liquids. I accidentally exhaled before choking on some water once, body naturally tried to pull in air and got more water. Very much felt like drowning.

Searching “optometrist complaint canada” seems to get the different licensing bodies. Reaching out to them would likely get some action.

+1 for @ickplant@lemmy.world, they are the primary poster in all of the niche subs I creep.

I thought Philip DeFranco was independent? Wikipedia shows Rogue Rocket for his show?

After searching: The Roost is a podcast company but the page for Night lists them as acquiring the show. Podcast and YouTube show with the same name?

None of the online places even accepted my prescription last time I looked. Mine are about $800 for the lenses during a sale. They generally give me the frames for free when they see the cost of the lenses.

Insurance covers $200 every 2 years.

I miss when they had good hardware for a reasonable price. Some of my cheap original Logitech laser mice are still going, almost 2 decades later. Obviously not super heavy use as the switches have not worn out, but they’ve been shifted about the house as other mice break. So certainly not 0 use either.

The tasks have been things like our old media centre mouse died, the old Logi mouse “temporarily” replaced it until we replaced the media centre. It’s not been unused any longer than a few months at a time.

We tried buying some recently but the new ones are all optical so they had shit performance and died after maybe 3 months of light use.

Bit torn. This would be amazing when I’m a bit deaf (screw you pollen season). But where is this being transcribed? I strongly suspect that even if it’s done phone side Google will send a recording and the text output to home base for “training” purposes.

Canada :(

I have some friends that are into cyclocross, 10K is a very nice bike but certainly not top of the line. High quality beginners is usually ~5K mark, but most start with a road or mountain bike for ~1K. With the electric components I was mentally budgeting at least 5K before I looked so I could get at least one or two upgrades.

I was not expecting all the e-cargo bikes to start at ~10K. That is insane. I can’t even find a place that rents them so I can get a feel for them. As a car replacement the price makes sense. The high entry cost for beginners/testing is a shock.

I was amazed at the price but a quick search shows that’s the standard price for an e-cargo bike here. I don’t understand the emphasis on price.

Found the obituary. Family is requesting donations to the American Cancer society in lieu of flowers.

Declaring it a “very brutal way” for his wife to find out, he believes that there could’ve been a chance of the marriage continuing had he been able to “talk to her rationally.”

I’m not sure if he means he could continue his behaviour without being caught or if he planned on lying and saying it was a one time thing. Either way I highly doubt he had any plans to be honest.

The “talk to her rationally” bit is hilarious. Yes I’ve been expensively unfaithful, have possibly been exposing you to a number of diseases without your knowledge, and have been physically unavailable regularly for years. What self respecting person wouldn’t “rationally” see that as perfectly acceptable! /s

If it’s black you’re fine. Brown is shelter now.

Everyone I’ve talked to/know that do stats, forest work, work in the forest, etc. has flagged the same thing. There are a lot of deaths we can’t prove were grizzlies. The stats people all flag the missing person distribution. Areas known to have a heavy grizzly presence are noticeably higher than very low count areas. Lean years have noticeable spikes in those same areas.

The people that work back country have all encountered grizzlies that seemed too comfortable with human aimed hunting behaviour. In their words “bear spray don’t mean shit to a hungry adult grizzly”.

The campers killed in Banff reported a bear attack and sent an emergency GPS signal with the same message. Their route was pre-planned and communicated with someone staying behind. They checked in daily to report progress. They did everything right. It’s unusual, especially for leisure, that people do any of that.

Asked a few relevant people their opinions on the deaths. Opinions differed a bit on exactly what caused it to be officially recognized as a grizzly attack. They did all agree on 2 things. The campers were role models for proper back country safety. If they hadn’t been they would have just been another missing or cause of death unknown statistic.

I’ll have to see if they have an international site. Checked today and their smallest option is still a bit too big. Might get one anyway as it seems all the luggage recommended for the airline are all a bit too big in at least one direction. We have one of the stricter airlines for baggage size.

Thank you though!
