    2. Yes. Lobbying by oil and car companies

    3. see above.

    4. See above.

    Honestly how much more expensive would glass mugs/cups be? Like A&W Canada will give you a chilled mug for root beer (and other drinks but the root beer is iconic)

    If it’s to go then then paper cups are fine. The paper straws are just annoying…




  • If you use a windows computer you could look into Linux. It’s a bit complicated to get ahold of if you’re not super tech savvy and are super used to Microsoft products but it is doable.

    Look into what software, hardware, games, etc that you use your PC for and see if they’re Linux compatible. If not, find alternatives that could work for you. (Example, instead of Microsoft office you can try LibreOffice)

    For me as an example, I primarily use my PC for gaming. The Proton compatibility layer allows me to play all my games on Linux (except for Garden warfare 2, which won’t run due to an incompatible anti-cheat software)

    Overall, do your research, find how compatible your own setup is and what distribution is right for you.

    For new users, Linux Mint is a popular choice.












  • Yeah a lot of people will hear a very basic rundown of Linux from someone who has a bad experience with it (they installed it without reading anything) and they hate on it for life never looking into how things have improved.

    A LOT of people in that crowd don’t even know about Valve proton and how well that works.



  • There’s a tiny café owned by a couple literally right around the corner from the nearest Tim’s to me.

    It’s definitely a little pricier but FAR better quality. They’ve also got crapes and waffles and stuff. But sometimes I’ll just go in for a cappuccino.

    I’ve become probably their best customer since I go there so often. Despite the fact that Tim’s is closer and cheaper.

    Not only is it Canadian (plus some European products) it’s a local business. All the better.

    Edit: That being said, Tim’s is cheap so that usually what I’ll have when the café isn’t an option. It’s not American owned thankfully. I wish it was still Canadian though.
