Mackapoot Link ParentThis is so true. And I find the comments sections are much more personalized, maybe cause it is a smaller community.This is so true. And I find the comments sections are much more personalized, maybe cause it is a smaller community.

Comment on Where are all the teachers? Breaking down America's teacher shortage crisis in five charts. in ~life
Mackapoot LinkSomewhat related and maybe a hot take but why should schooling be behind a paywall at all? Why don’t we just have learning centres where people of all ages are welcome and encouraged to learn?...Somewhat related and maybe a hot take but why should schooling be behind a paywall at all? Why don’t we just have learning centres where people of all ages are welcome and encouraged to learn?
Have been thinking about this a lot as we have a housing crisis in Canada. I feel that if the schooling were more accessible, we would have more trades people to help the cause.

Comment on Bought my first Steam Deck after seeing the deep discounts on refurbs...what should i know as a first time Steam Deck/PC gamer? in ~games
Mackapoot LinkDoes the steam deck offer game streaming from desktops? I'd love to play cities 2 on the couch and stream it from my desktop. How does it compare to the game streaming of the ally or legion go?Does the steam deck offer game streaming from desktops? I'd love to play cities 2 on the couch and stream it from my desktop.

Comment on What's the big deal about running a half marathon? in ~life
Mackapoot Link ParentI feel like this comment sums it up. If there was anything to "get", it's trying to see her perspective and the mental/physical challenge she is going through.

I'm not a runner, not even close. But there is an aspect to working out and training that is a mind over matter attitude. If that makes sense.
While a half marathon might be the first chapter, with more training and schedule, who knows what she will achieve. Its up to you if you want to be the one to support her through that journey though.

Mackapoot Link ParentAre you speaking to the bed frame? Or did you make your mattress as well? Was it a difficult process? I've heard Linus from ltt speak about making his own bed with a small store somewhere in BC....Are you speaking to the bed frame? Or did you make your mattress as well? Was it a difficult process?

I find that most of my Cuisinart products seem to be of quality (and are usually priced as such). The only disappointment so far has been their popcorn popper.

Everything in his hardcore world is done without the use of tnt/item duplication or nether roof. Lastly, he has a concrete schedule, been streaming 4hr a day at 9:30est for the last 1000+ days. Worth checking out! (:
I’ve been boycotting loblaws for about 8 months now. I collected their PC points and would typically wait for $100 before redeeming. Out of the blue about $80 was redeemed from somewhere in Ontario. When contacting support there was issue with finding my account and ultimately denied reversing the redemption.
Fine by me. I’m better off without them. 🖕
