The Apothecary in Calgary has a series of lip balms made in-house, that all have beeswax in them (they have complete ingredient listings for all their products on their site)

The tins are approx. twice the price of a Burt's tube, and you're also getting ~3 times the volume of product, so it's a decent trade off.

If there any hives around/outside your city, they may manufacture lip balms as well. Pop in if they advertise visits - or there may be a communal apiarist run shop like we have here - all the bee related products you could hope for, produced by the hives of the local beekeepers.

As was pointed out on the nearly identical post in this group earlier: this is one of several posts this user has created during their 8 days on Lemmy that read like attention seeking, or bad-faith posts.

2 topics in the Bi group about being a bi(?) woman only attracted to men, one in a trans community about being a cishet woman who faked being a trans man to be "gay online", one about being attracted to a 16 y/o boy. All written with click-baity titles like this one.

Please check the user's post history, and assess whether it's worth investing the energy before engaging.

Sounds great, epsecially for people less comfortable juggling multiple websites/apps while shopping. Hopefully the android version will be coming soon.

Maynard's wine gums are made in Canada, though they're now owned by Mondelez, which is American.

Well, they're American, and this is the "buy Canadian" group, so that's one reason.

That said, I also really like the idea of Framework, and spent a -lot- of time reading reviews and comments because it was one I was seriously considering, too.

General consensus is that the 13" framework is great, but that screen is too small for my use case (I do some graphics work). The 16" is....OK. More of a proof of concept than a fully finished laptop. As someone who buys once every 10 years, I'd rather not sink $3000 - $5000 on something I'll be frustrated with for 9.5 years.

Good to know. I recently picked up an LG TV after my Samsung died (it made it 17+ years, so can't complain.) I've been happy with the TV, so will look into their laptops, too.

[–] LycanGalen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Thank you. I'd opted out of framework a while ago, because the 13 is a bit too small, and I've heard the 16 has some fitting issues, which, if I got a new laptop every couple years, I'd be down to support them, but that's not me.

And agreed about popOS, I actually landed on it because it just worked with my nvidia GPU, but if there was some partnerships or whatnot, I wouldn't die with a new distro.

Thank you! Not sure how my DDG-fu missed Eurocom and that wiki page 😮‍💨.

I'll take a look!

[–] LycanGalen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Thank you, that's a great idea! Do you have any suggestions for where to look? EBay wasn't my friend, but I also wasn't specifying business.

 

I was about to pull the trigger and buy a System 76 Pangolin when the trade BS started. As far as I can tell, there are no Canadian manufacturers (or repackagers like System 76), so I'm looking for suggestions. My preference would be Canadian, but happy to consider anything non-US.

I prefer to buy hardware that can last - my phone is nearly 10 years old, and my tower PC is almost 20, with various upgrades over time. I know that laptops aren't as good for upgrades, but some sturdiness, and non-soldered RAM would be appreciated.

I'm looking for a 15"/16" laptop that plays well with Linux (I like Pop!OS, but fine to migrate) it would be primarily for office stuff, but with decent enough iGPU that I can do basic graphic work, and play some indy games. I'd like something that generally doesn't sound like a helicopter when I use it. 1-2Tb SDD, and 32 GB RAM. ~$2500 CAD is my max.

I looked at Lenovo, but they're getting expensive, and I'm not sure whether they go through the US prior to hitting Canada or not.

Thanks in advance!

Fair. I certainly had to resurrect WTH loss meant when I joined Lemmy. I was more thinking the Venn diagram of people still clinging to Loss, and people on Lemmy is probably not a perfect circle. But who knows.
