If you're going to include a Michael Crichton book in a sci-fi list, Sphere is a far better choice IMO.

And if you make enough spelling errors, your post essentially encrypts itself! :D
Even if it's just an apocryphal story, it's at least a crazy-interesting concept that I hadn't even considered before.
It was where he got his start 20+ years ago, but both him and Sara Watkins (the fiddler) went on to do some interesting stuff to say the least. Their new album was sort of a reunion.
Not EXCLUSIVELY... but kinda, but even though I'm only 1 (or maybe 2) out of the 3, and a bunch of programming jokes and jargon go over my head, I really don't mind. And... if you're going to start with a particular demographic as a core userbase, man oh man could you do worse these days.
This seems to bounce around the internet with no real legit source to back it up, and when it was posted to a certain website starting with R, there were comments from professionals indicating most of it was complete bullshit.
Sadly I don't think there is anything Canadian-owned that's a true alternative. Don't mind the other disingenuous commenter on here questioning your motive, they evidently think that Walmart is just as good for your community as local mom and pop shops, since they all ''employ canadians''. I think your alternative would be to simply order directly from whatever Canadian business you can find online selling whatever you're looking for. Almost all of them still take orders from their own sites and ship Fedex/DHL/CanadaPost etc to almost anywhere. Amazon really is just a convenient middle-man and they're not purely necessary. Basically a streamlined search function and ordering tool and they're completely avoidable, it just takes a bit more effort. I think people should absolutely be making efforts to avoid them, because of their ridiculous market share and their precedent of working conditions and wages, if nothing else.
If you're interested in Country and Folk but have the range of taste you seem to, you should definitely become aware of Punch Brothers if you're not already. Basically experimental bluegrass, I'd recommend any of their albums but Phosphorescent Blues might be a good start. The frontman Chris Thile's also part of Nickel Creek and their new album has a very Punch Brothers feel to it as well.
"Lead Safe Mama" is not a legit scientific source. Come on guys, this isn't facebook, we can do better than this kind of low effort fear mongering.
Yeah, I'm already a little offput by how lemmy.world seems so dominant.
Add another ref who sits just off the ice, and is a "video ref" looking at as many screens as he chooses, of the available cameras, and has the power to whistle his own penalties or overturn the penalties from the ref on the ice. There's no reason to deliberately not use the technology available to us rather than the randomness of whether something happens to get challenged for video review.
Ha! You and Troy seem to have lots in common you should consider becoming friends. Seriously though thanks for this thread I'm loving it.
