I don't shop at Costco as its a US brand. I shop at grocery stores, Canadian ones. It is a loss leader everywhere. They take the whole chickens that are damaged or are close to shelf life and roast them.

Yeah.. American prices haven't caught up with the rest of the world yet. As much as Trump has done to destroy your economy you're still not paying anywhere near the price of things elsewhere. Going to take more loss of power for the US dollar for things to align.

But, I'll bet that's still cheaper than a whole chicken, raw.. Right?

Man they are $13.99 in BC now.. But still hella cheaper than a raw roaster at $23

Yeah big banks in canada give like 0.1% interest, my credit union gives 0.3%

Rotisserie chicken is cheaper than a raw roasting chicken that you you need to make the same thing at home.

Rotisserie chickn $13.99, uncooked roaster is $23

What is gross is that rotisserie chicken is cheaper than a raw roaster.

No, but definitely not the first time this nonsense has come up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposal_for_the_Province_of_Toronto

And to be fair, nothing in the question specifies the language to continue the conversation in.

Sure it's ESL class, but within the context of this question.. No rules were broken.

What kind of twatwaffle writes this crap. Fuck your planned obsolescence.

I've been seeing a lot of startrek.website shares I do showing the wrong desc and image in the unfurl on the posts lately. It was a few of them a week at first, but it's become multiple a day now.

As the most recent example, the "Look at the time, its 7 of 9" post unfurls like this in signal:

Is this a known issue? Is there a better place to report instance issues? It kind of looks to me like UUID reuse leading to new posts displaying old images.

Title says it all. He sells Scrooge better than any other movie adaptation I've seen.

This. Throwing your trash on the ground because you can't find a trash can amounts to childish entitlement in my eyes.

No trash cans in the forest, is OP saying they just litter all through nature when they go camping?

As the title says, I'm curious if they ever named or revisited this Human civilization in the later parts of the timeline in any way? It seems like too good of an opportunity to not revisit it at some point.

My searches did not reveal any answer, so thought I'd ask my fellow trek nerds.

This is the most unfiltered article I've read from The Atlantic... by the time I finished the second paragraph I had to re-read the title to understand how I got here.

Edit: To be clear, this has been revealed as satire, its just so close to reality one could be forgiven for confusing the two.

The Dad Trilogy (startrek.website)

Just had this one shared with me directly on signal and could not find it in here, nor could I find a source. Too good not to share though. If someone knows the meme creator I'll update this with proper credit.

Riker came down on a whole other deck and wants answers.

Home Assistant. Offline smart home automation you can control.

Home doesn't have to be 100% dumb in 2023. But you have to do a little work for it.

Bonus: your smart home will be more capable and interconnected than any of the commercial smart home options because they are all busy trying to control the entire ecosystem and sue each other. (maybe Matter changes that but I'm not holding my breath)

Is the darkspace theme something that comes packaged with Lemmy or something the server admins are throwing together? I love where it's going but its in need of some love.. there's nothing to make the posts readable against the background.

Complaints are not intended here, I could likely help if someone points me to a place where I can make PRs.
