You're not paying a fuck ton of money. Canada Post is a separate entity from the government and is a self-sustaining business that receives no money from the government.

Unsolicited commercial mail is paid for by the company sending it. All mail is paid for by the people sending it. It doesn't cost you anything to receive it. And when it really matters, like those "rare" correspondence that contain your drivers license, or insurance slips, or your health card, or your doctor's appointments, or even your small parcels from eBay, I'm sure you want those as soon as they come in. You should care about regular mail delivery. Because once you lose it, it's never coming back.

So the person that complained their competition is beating them because they deliver packages on evenings and weekends is now complaining that mail, which is essentially small parcels that are paid for accordingly, are delivered too often. Contract negotiation time always brings out the most interesting stories...

You mean that a game show where you have to guess the price of several brand name products, which gives away prizes provided by their sponsors that are featured prominently during the entire show is really just a big long commercial?

The same applies for ground beef as well. It's the grinding up of the meat that creates a zone for bacteria to infect it. The reason they changed pork to 145 is because they created health regulations that eliminated the risk of parasites and allow them to only cook it to 145.

Yes, they are agreeing with me because health regulations are responsible for eliminating parasites, not because people overcook pork.

Seriously, take your own advice. Stop talking about food safety. You are not an authority, so stop acting like one.

I never said it was safe to eat raw pork. Stop creating strawmen that have nothing to do with this conversation...

Yes, I understand that. Cooking pork to an internal temperature of 165 Fahrenheit will kill parasites. But health regulations on farms have essentially eliminated the risk of parasites to begin with, specifically to mitigate the idiots. RFK admitted to eating in a foreign country that doesn't have the same safety standards. That's the reason he was infected with parasites.

To be fair, health regulations have largely eliminated the risk of parasites in pork. Though that doesn't apply everywhere in the world.

The organization as a whole, yes. But some individual troops are still run by bigots that haven't gotten the message yet.

Build her a server, install it at her house, set up some sort of automated DVD ripping mechanism so that she can digitize her own collection, wait for the inevitable tech support call, then go spend a Sunday afternoon fixing her server and digitizing her collection for her while she makes you dinner. You get to call it "quality time", and you get fed while keeping her happy and her collection as far away from yours as possible. Win/win, everyone is happy.

It's pronounced Koont...

You still need a job to survive. You just need to find one that doesn't require a social security number and pays under the table. You know, like the jobs that all the immigrants do.
