Do old people get paid to just drive around and encumber every other driver?

Never had so many old people driving around aimlessly on the road… old men cruising in parking lots, old couples driving 20-30KM under the speed limits, old people slamming on their breaks at yellows…. Do yall get paid? You must? Stay home and stop bothering drivers or get out of the left lane.

I stumbled across this book from another post recently that completely changed how I think about food.

We’re so used to fridges, supermarkets, and next day delivery that I honestly never stopped to think about how people actually ate before all that existed. This book is basically a collection of old recipes that were designed to last months or even years without refrigeration. The same kind of food our great grandparents (and great great grandparents) relied on.

What surprised me most wasn’t even the recipes, it was the mindset. Everything was about making food stretch, using what you had, and not relying on systems that could disappear overnight. Reading it made me realize how dependent we are now compared to even a couple generations ago.

I’ve tried a handful of the recipes so far. Some are definitely outside my normal rotation, but a few were genuinely good and oddly satisfying knowing they’d keep without power or fancy storage.

It’s less of a cookbook and more of a little history lesson disguised as one. Made me appreciate how resilient people used to be, especially when it came to food. I wanted to make this post as a bit of a shoutout to the creators for putting it together and the person who shared it here a couple months back (I couldn't find the old post to go back and comment).

Here's the website I bought the cookbook from, it's a pretty niche book so I don't think it's available on any mainstream platforms - survivalsuppers.com

NB Power has green lit a plan to buy 300,000 tonnes of wood pellets to convert its largest power plant in northern New Brunswick

That’s as the Holt government has quietly issued a Crown timber sub-licence to one of those five, a partnership between Eel River Bar First Nation, Pabineau First Nation, and Arbec Forest Products. ---- The trio, together behind what’s being called the Belledune Biocoal Joint Venture Group, has also recently filed an environmental impact assessment with the Department of Environment and Local Government to build a torrefied wood pellet production facility at the Port of Belledune in support of NB Power’s transition away from coal burning power generation. --- A lot of details right here... 👇👇👇: https://tj.news/new-brunswick/nb-power-to-buy-300000-tonnes-of-wood-pellets

Bank Recommendations

My partner and I are looking to switch banks. I’ve been with the same bank my whole life. What banks are good? Currently with CIBC but was told by a finance friend to get a different bank as we shouldnt have everything (mortgage, insurance, savings, chequing, RRSP, RESP) all at the same bank.

Parking ticket unb

I don’t go to UNB nor do i have plans to but i do check out books from the library there from time to time, today I went to check out a book from the library and was inside for maybe 10 minutes but I came out to a 25.00 fine on my car. I thought the school had a visitor parking section but i guess not.

I’m planing on not paying the fine. Would this affect my insurance or anything ? I’m sorry if this is a stupid question.

Showing off a bird I made!

I'm making a video-game about Birdwatching in Atlantic Canada, and got to add this beautiful bird, the Great Blue Heron. What do you think?

I want to be careful of self-promotion, but since I've had a number of people asking me, the game is >Look to the Birds!<

Hey NB, PEI heard a loud noise around 4pm today! What says you?

Today shortly after 4pm the south shore of PEI heard a very loud bang, reports confirmed from Summerside to Wood Islands. Thunder/dump truck in nature.

Usually these allegations go ignored, but figured we’d check in on our neighbours, because nobody saw nothing, which is rare for us. It definitely happened and was very loud.

Any leads?
