Your post is deeply flawed, and I'll do my best to explain how as diplomatically as possible.

>Everyone deserves exactly what they bargained for.

Are you saying that if I'm bargaining at a Ford dealership for a new a truck, I automatically deserve it? I'm assuming you mean something else, but I don't know what.

> This "fair share" argument is used commonly and is false right from the get go. Everyone has their own idea on what "fair share" means, and the progressive plan to implement "fair share" usually involves some sort of forced redistribution of wealth which is wrong from the beginning.

So by your own logic, the rich also don't deserve their wealth. I mean, if everybody's idea of fair share is purely subjective, then we simply cannot take anybody's word for it, rich or poor. "Fair share" becomes a non-starter for any discussion. So how can you possibly argue it's "wrong from the beginning" if we have no standard of what "fair share" even means? Why is it wrong?

>It's robin hooding except instead of taking it from the extremely rich, it's taken from everybody.

This claim is a non-sequitur. How did you get from the notion that "fair share" is arbitrary to this idea? It simply doesn't follow.

The reasoning at work in your posts is sloppy and, at points, self-contradictory. Perhaps it would help to take some time to deepen your knowledge of political principles A good primer that covers some arguments from various parts of the political spectrum might be helpful. This. It's edited by Canada's own Will Kymlicka, one of the the most renowned contemporary political philosophers.

Intermittent fasting isn't long enough, you have to prolong fast, minimum 15 days to 30 days in order to get full healing benefits of all the damaged and mutated cells in your body. Check out these links:

I understand that you have an autoimmune disease and are frustrated but you will never cure it will conventional medicine and pharmaceutical drugs.

You're welcome.

I'm still working on looseing weight, but medications and post DBS caused weight gains. Finally down from 300+ to 240 and feeling great! Exercise is really key to slowing progression, alas I have additional health issues, but keep on pushing forward.

Recently bought a large van so I can go camping and travel across North America. Nightfall, or fatigued, I can pull over and take a nap or wait for sunrise!

Keep the days flexible, If Mom has a hard time with knife and fork nothing wrong with asking for meat to be presliced. I can cut the 1" thick slices and enjoy my meals. Oh mashed patatoes helps things like peases stay on folks.

Haven't tried this yet, but my shoe laces always come undone. Might be worth looking for.

Yeah, you should not be walking into the backcountry randomly - those are the people who get carried out - sometimes alive, sometimes not.

Grab a trail guide (I've used Brian Patton's guide for decades), and plan a modest overnighter. Aim for 10-12km each way, and figure out what you need to take. Expect that you'll get terrible weather, understand that carrying 50lb on your back is going to crush you when climbing hills, and imagine cooking over a tiny burner with half-numb hands. I'd say get a book on hiking as well - The Complete Walker used to be fantastic, but I'm sure there are others out there.

Maybe as a run-up, do a few day trips. Head up to a pass and back down, something under 20km round trip. With a day-pack, you'll get an appreciation for how long that is, at least. And you'll also get to see just how gorgeous the high country is.

It's 2 years out of date now, and I can't recall at the moment what years his data came from (at the time of writing it was recent) but I highly recommend Follow The Money by Kevin Taft. It doesn't deal with health care specifically, but looks at where the money is going in a province that is rich but with quite often subpar public services.

Have several swaddling blankets to use in rotation, and learn how to wrap them properly. Also always have at least 2 burp clothes within arm's reach at all times, preferably already on your shoulder.

If you plan on walking anywhere outside with your baby, make sure to get a good stroller cover, even if it's just a dedicated blanket (make sure it's a decently heavy one to block out the wind and to stay in place).

A light wool hat/toque, and keep it on all the time.

Not necessarily a winter thing, but IMO a portable bassinet is great if you go visiting a lot. Get baby used to sleeping in it at home for alternating naps (even just in the crib), and then when you are out of the house for nap time, it is a small piece of familiarity that will make it so much easier to get them to sleep and set them up for success when they get a little older and you want to drop them off at the grandparents overnight.

For the curious, here is a great book on the history of climbing on Yamnuska, a cliff where many of Canada's greatest alpinists got their start:

Flux is a good. If you go into the registry settings you can get your screen down below 1200K.

Even better, blue/green blockers. https://www.amazon.ca/DEWALT-DW0714-Laser-Enhancement-Glasses/dp/B00093DJ4M

I recommend this one if you like anecdotal historical stories about the province :)

Awesome, glad to hear it.

I used the Ruffwear K9 Float Coat with my husky mutt. It was pricey, but leagues beyond the first two we tried out. Highly recommend it.

May I ask what safe you bought?

Was is something cheaper like this? Specs only rate it for 30 minutes at 1550°f.

Or something slightly more expensive and larger like this? Specs slightly better at 1 hour at 1700°f/927°C.

I'd expect it takes longer than 1 hour to completely burn a house down. So I doubt either safe contents would last. But I thought I'd ask to be sure. I own the second safe I linked, but I have it mainly for burglary, flooding, and smaller fires. Not completely burnt down houses.

I don't recommend electronic safes unless you are spending big money, most have a severe venerability to magnet opening the solenoid. Save your money and buy the standard combination dial with the extra key. Unless you don't care about the burglary aspect and only want a safe for fire and flooding. It's less convenient, but means a burglar would have to take longer than 5 seconds to open your safe. All safes are able to be broken into, you just want to slow them down as long as possible.

Edit: According to Google, most house fires seem to only reach 1100°f, so it's probably the length it burns for. Though the added part of a forest fire might increase temperatures. For normal house fires where firefighters can actively try and stop it these safes might stand up to the heat, but with no firefighters combating the house fires as the forest fire was too large they really don't stand a chance. They also recommend storing it on a concrete basement if you have it, and next to any metal that won't burn like a furnace. That way it's getting heat from less areas and will last longer.

As someone that has spend allot of time with our health-care system the last 4 months one of the biggest things I think they could get better at is not wasting supplies.

No one seems to give a shit about wasting supplies, they fuck up and its just "oh well get a new one". If they used the old saying measure twice, cut once it would probably save tens of millions per year.

The other thing that boggled me was being sent home a huge bag of medical supplies when I got home because its that or throwing them out. When they bring supplies into your room they can't be taken out and used on something else even if they are sealed. This might make sense to a point but could probably be solved easily by not bringing more supplies then needed. They sent me home with a whole box of tegaderm because it entered my room.
