Question. I read there was a lot of talk of the US ditching putting their clocks back in October and staying on DST permanently. Would that mean from Oct-March the time difference to the UK would be -4 instead of -5?

There has been a lot of talk about it over the years in Canada and the USA. Never seems to change though.

Ah...see, that second photo is the 'Mexican Coke' that I see in stores (and some restaurants) around here.

So y’all get the export stuff we get with the cane sugar?? Try it!! It’s yum!!!

Oops my cat ate half an edible last night

I cut a gummy I had in half and put the other half in a plastic baggie, and I woke up this morning to the baggie completely destroyed and the edible gone. I read that she'll be fine, so I mostly find it funny more than anything, but yeah my cat is zooted today

Could be worse. A mother of a kid I coached in fall let her toddler get into a whole bunch of edibles. Got arrested.

And that was just the first practice.

I almost fed my kid a snack before my wife caught me giving it to him and it had a edible in it.

Just another reason to not have kids IMO

Poor thing.

My mom used to slip benedryl into our food when we took long car rides as toddlers, I can totally appreciate the evolution of this technique.

She was fine, she was just a bit more friendly than usual. She's definitely good today

But yeah, I sometimes forget how adventurous she is. I once bought a box of chicken melts from Costco that were individually packaged, and I left the box out on my counter after making one. She got into the box, took one of the melts out of its bag and ate the frozen chicken.

The thing that sucks with her is that she knows how to open up doors, so she sometimes opens up my cabinets to get inside of them. I keep my edibles inside of my pantry and she has opened that up to get to the cat treats that I also keep in my pantry.

I actually think the USA got rid of changing the clocks. I believe everywhere will be on permanent DSL.

Move one or the other. Or put your edibles in the fridge??

And no I’m not trying to sound like an ass on purpose (hell I’m hitting a bong right now as we speak..), I just take feline/canine/pet safety extra super-duper seriously and hate whenever I read this kind of stuff. As generally it makes us folks who blaze or eat edibles etc. look stereotypically lazy and irresponsible.

What, no whiskey on the gums when you were teething?

My parents never did this with me but I think my grandma did. Could explain my current love of whiskey.

Grandpa used to give us Becherovka for stomach aches. I think my great aunt tried the plum brandy on the gums for teething on one of us and then immediately got yelled at by my mom.

<-- Got Jameson as a wee lad ...

I mean, I can see why giving a toddler 120 proof Slovak rotgut isn't the brightest idea, but I think it prepared me well for a life of Penguins fandom.

Given the immense collection of Crown Royal bags we found when my grandma passed and we cleaned out her attic...well I have a suspicion.

Also, the word suspicion looks super weird when you type it. I had to google to make sure I was actually spelling it correctly.

Yeah, I ended up with more than a few bottles (most unopened, weird) when my grandmother died. Take a drink every year on her birthday just like she'd want me to.

Becherovka is barely liquor.

I'm on Chapter 16 of VC4 and good god it's such a good game. I'm so glad I picked this back up. It's not an overly "difficult" game outside of a few specific boss fights, but it's a very fun game with a really enjoyable cast and story.

I wanted to buy the DLC for VC4, and I saw on the Nintendo Store that it was $25 for 5 DLCs. What was it on Steam? You could get the base game, all of the DLC and the original Valkyria Chronicles for $14. Needless to say, I now have it on Steam in addition to Switch

Had my last day at physio today...been over a year I been going since I was hit by a truck on my ebike. Feel better now, but physio is too pricey at $400 per month.
