Clothes of the Northern Folk

I'm seriously not sure if this is the largest clothing mod ever dropped, at least in one go? I guess the competition would be maybe Common Clothes? Fashions of the Fourth Age? Pretty sure this is more than either of those? Divine Elegance probably has more, but Apachii's been adding to it for ten years and a number of those outfits came from various other mods.

Anyway, it's a ton of outfits, each with more than a half-dozen colour variants, all nordic-inspired (specifically Norwegian). The Bunads are a bit too modern to mesh with vanilla Skyrim IMO, but honestly that's a matter of taste. The Viking versions on the other hand are perfect. They're all lovely.

Mod author has comments turned off, which is maybe why I'm not seeing much talk? Yeah, I hate when authors do this halfway through, but kind of on the fence about them dropping a mod that way in the first place, like, sometimes they just don't want to deal with that shit and at least saying that from the start is... fair. I get it.

Would love to hear what others think.

EDIT: As a couple people have pointed out, SomethingWhatever stated in the comments on her Guzzoline Outfits mod for Fallout 4 that certain user demands and harassment have led to her abandoning Fallout modding entirely and closing comments on her older mods, which is why comments are locked from the start on this mod. Obviously, closed comments are a deal-breaker for some mod users, and it's fine to say so in reasonable terms, but remember it's her prerogative as author.

Personally, closed comments on some mods would worry me a lot, but on simple armour mods not so much.

Was looking for a new jar of spicy chili crisp in Toronto, but it seems everywhere it's sold only carries spicy chili "paste" instead.

While some people were guessing this was just a branding change, the ingredients are different and a comparison shows the paste lacks both the prickly ash and the black beans of the crisp (it also seems to be more oil by volume, but that part might just be my perception).

Seems like the crisp is gone forever, but is this just in Canada or is this worldwide?

Asking because when looking to see what happened, I see a number of comments across various sites (including some jar comparisons), but they all seem to be from Canadians wondering about the differences (and comparing jars), but as far as I know, Lao Gan Ma is still all made at the same plant(s) in China, so I don't know why the recipe would change just for jars being exported to Canada. Plus I can't really search Chinese-language sites very well to see if there's more information there.

Anyone know?

This is the same as what I saw in the shops in TO compared to the sadly empty jar I have at home. In Toronto I've tried the big grocery chains (Sobeys carries LGM), T&T, C&C, and a couple smaller Asian groceries.

EDIT 2: Another point is that the labels both say "For Canada Only" in the bottom right. Unfortunately this doesn't tell me if this swap is being tried elsewhere.
