Noticed that the rate on my electric bill with Carma corp is going up steadily every 2 months or so...
December: 0.0846
February: 0.1031
April: 0.1161
June: 0.124
The difference between December and my June bill for very similar usage is from $43 (when we were running a heater, too) to my current bill which is $55. The delivery fees are also more expensive every month.
Anyone else have theirs climbing steadily like this? Is this because of data centres, or just inflation in general?? It seems insane to me, there's just two of us in our small apartment and we barely have anything running at all during the day (no one is even home between like 7:30am and 5pm), and at night our activity hasn't changed at all. A laptop or two running, one or two lights, and a fan.
Last July we'd been running the AC constantly for weeks and the bill was around what it is for this month, which was a whole lot of nothing. Like I get that utility bills go up, but this seems like a very fast rise over the last 6 months or so, way faster than the past several years we've been with them
Are sugar snap peas safe to eat when they have these light/white markings on them? I’m assuming they’re from abrasion and the skin breaking but not sure if they’re the first sign of going bad or something? Also the ones that are getting brown look a bit weird.
TBH I would probably use these without hesitation if I was cooking them, but since I’m eating them raw I just wanted to check.
I’ve recently started experimenting with this technique (alcohol markers first then pencil crayons on top) and I love it! It’s really fun. I’m not too happy with how the snail’s body turned out but I love the shell and the greenery.
My parents are adopting her tomorrow and we're trying to figure out a good name!
Also if anyone has any ideas of what kind of dog she is, that would be awesome! We're sure she's part shih tzu but not sure what else. I've included pre- and post-groomed shots for consideration.
Looks atrocious but tastes so good 🤤🔥
I've been around from BC but I don't at all remember if this was used and if it was, what it was used for... Anyone tell me? I included the map location in the corner.
I know that's been there for a while, I first noticed it a few years back, but I forgot about it until just now when I happened to fly over it again.
I didn’t even mean to rhyme that title, but leaving it as is 👌🏻👌🏻 this is Sophie, my mom’s adorable lynx point.
Been trying to place a pickup order… First my partner tried on Saturday, and on her end kept getting that error message, so she’d wait a while and try again.
Turns out they charged her THREE TIMES but the order still hasn’t actually gone through! Walmart was no help because there’s technically no order that went through on their end, so now she has to deal with the bank.
So I tried to order some stuff today - different account, different card, 2 days later. Now I’m getting the error too.
It hasn’t charged me yet - I’ve been careful to check before I try again - but have had no luck. I can’t find any info on the site being down, help chat told me everything seems fine, just try again later.
Anyone know if this is a system wide problem? Or maybe it’s more local? I’m so frustrated.
We’re in Canada if that makes a difference.
And before anyone says “just go get it yourself”, I’m disabled and having a lot of pain right now, which is why I specifically wanted pick up.
First described in 1956, it actually had no reported sightings again until 2004! Its classified as endangered by IUCN as so far its only known habitat is along a stretch of highway somewhere in Ecuador. it's very possible they have a wider range, we just haven't found it yet.
That delightful schnozz is generally about 85% of the total head length in fullgrown males (and only males. We love a little sexual dimorphism). We're not yet sure exactly what its for, but biologists have ruled out male vs malecombat as it's very flexible and wouldn't really work for that. It's thought that it could have something to do with sexual selection from the females, or simply make the little guy appear larger than he is (they're not big anyway - only 2-3 inches without the tail).
Not sure if this one will be hard or not. It’s a pretty small one with only a few gates, yet pretty busy.
It stinks so bad, when I got out of my car around Mayfield area it smelled like I stepped into a barn. Never noticed this stink over here before! I was just a bit farther northwest and it stinks up there too.
Duck fat fries, bison gravy, cheese curds, cubed smoked ham, and dill pickle bits. Western Sandwich Co. in Edmonton, AB. Took a pic of the more sparse side just to show the ham and pickle better, the other side was completely covered in gravy.
It was absolutely delicious 🤤🤤. We got it at a farmers market where they had a kiosk but they have a brick and mortar location too with half a dozen other flavours I’m excited to try one day.
I got this tattoo a few years ago during a promo by a local shop for mental health awareness, and it has some real significance for me.
Unfortunately the guy who initially did it rushed it and was sloppy, and someone else at their shop ended up having to touch it up a few months later, which is why it’s as bold as it is, he had to go over all the lines again and make it bolder to hide the rush job from the first time. It used to look a lot more fine lined.
I still like the tattoo but it just feels boring to me. I was trying to think of a way to spiff it up a bit, but I’m really not sure what to do… any suggestions? I thought some kind of watercolour burst behind it might be nice but I’m really not sure what would look good.
Any suggestions?
My mom’s lynx point, Sophie, is just the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen 🥰
In case y’all didn’t see the other post from the other day, Canadian Claire’s (at least ones in Edmonton) now have derpy plushes, as well plush Huntrix keyrings but I forgot to take pics of those sorry!
My mom just wants a simple lunch for Mother’s Day. What’s your recommendations for the best place to get that delicious combo?
I’ve been looking up a lot of the really good sandwich shops in town and it seems like a ton of them are closed on Sundays :(
Tater tots, cheese sauce, ground taco seasoned beef, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, lettuce, tomato, and salsa. Was delectable 👌🏻👌🏻
