🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 1hWe have some of those. Sure, they’re probably 25 years old now, but there is zero decay and spoilage. I had a brother who actually ate those. He poured boiling water on them first. Maybe it said that on the box. I don’t understand how these made it to market AND ARE STILL BEING SOLD AND PURCHASED! 000
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 1hI like the Single transferable vote system with larger ridings that elect multiple people in those larger ridings. I get to vote for people, not parties. It gets you a proportional result but drops fringe weirdos out more easily. Uses a ranked choice ballet.en.wikipedia.orgSingle transferable vote - Wikipedia 020
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 2hremember when he was born. That it happened a long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away with the “lie detector”registering truth. Cringy about how poorly lie detectors were portrayed then, but i remember laughing my butt off. 010
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 2hI have to mention a favourite episode of barney miller that featured all the cops getting a standard tv style beeps when you version of a lie detector. One cop was scared of the thing and it beeped even when he just said his name. And another who was eager to get hooked up and answered he couldn’t 110
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 2hWe have the makings of darn near everything from scantily clad cave people to marching band leaders to space aliens. One time a woman in a thrift store approached us and said “You’re clearly Halloween people. Can you help me work out my costume.” We ran around and found all the perfect bits. 000
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 2hSo we have this thing we call a tickle trunk. (If you know you know). We would often go to used clothing thrift stores and buy “things”. Mostly interesting clothing but also many accessories. We filled the trunk and there is some overflow in big Rubbermaid bins. 100
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 16hWow. I so miss the magic of that. Developing film, opening the cannister with a mix of fear and excitement. And then relief and joy when I saw images. It worked! Like, seriously. I had anxiety every time. And then the magic watching a print image appear in the developer tray. Magic I tell ya! 110
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 16hI mean, we didn’t have YouTube back then. I never liked stuff where someone clearly got hurt. And I remember more than once yelling at the tv “put down the camera and go help your kid!” 000
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 16hWe probably have different definitions of “business case”. Tax payers paying for the vast majority of something a corporation will still need *even more incentives and compensation* to finally sign on to isn’t a business case to me. And we just don’t need it to move harder on green tech. 010
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 17hThe green future does not require Canadians pay for another pipeline. It doesn’t require increasing extraction of the worst form of oil that is only economically viable with corporate welfare. The green future and the world needs us to do better, now. 000
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 17hIt’s ok to be mad that carney is having us pay for a new pipeline he *never mentioned once* during his campaign. It’s ok to be mad that he’s a proven liar in very big ways many times now. 100
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 17hBut we do not need to increase our extraction and build a new pipeline. We do not need to have taxpayers pay for construction of a new pipeline the oil industry isn’t willing to pay for itself. What we need is to swap the compensation levels around and spend bigger on green tech. 200
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 17hI don’t know a single person arguing for a faster transition to green energy everywhere we can who believes it can be done without fossil fuels still being used. Even after we’ve done it, there are still areas where we’re going to still be using liquid fuels derived from dinosaurs. 110
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 05/10/2026He only missed out one word. C wants a *corporate* us takeover. Because his investment portfolio benefits nicely. 010
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 05/10/2026Thank you for the link for more details. Would love to always see that. 000
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 05/10/2026And the jail thing for their crimes. Let’s not leave that out. 000
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 05/10/2026I can accept rich controlling asses losing all of their wealth. 100
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 05/10/2026Wow do you have that wrong. Go publish a book with those characters and see what happens to you. 000
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 04/10/2026You are a wonderful person! I really value your posts and look forward to seeing them when I open this app. What you do is really valuable and helpful. 120
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 04/10/2026Thanks for that info. Good to know the obviously correct thing to do there is how it works. 040
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 04/10/2026Thanks for clarifying that. I thought reached meant like, out to the internet. Do you know if it will ask for permission before installing new things? 140
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 04/10/2026My only issue with my wee darlings is they are very convinced my bed is theirs. 010
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 04/10/2026So is your lack of love for cats why it appears like you lack empathy for this person who does love their cat? They seem really bonded to their cat. If it was a rat instead (I have a bit of rat phobia) what I’m going to focus on is the person and their bond, not the rat. I see the love. 110
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 04/10/2026They are not spending anywhere near what they spend on oil. Magnitudes different. I spend the time on the narrative of pipelines because carney is spending my money on them. We do not need another pipeline. The planet needs us to reduce carbon emissions, not increase them. Longsighted. 000
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 04/10/2026That’s a little sad my friend. Some people have only have one of those. It’s super easy to have compassion for those who only have one of those. To some people, it’s their literal reason to get out of bed. I want both you and I to love them and give them support either financially or emotionally. 110
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 04/10/2026You don’t care if I believe your nothing statement about nothing. Ok! You link an article you didn’t read and somehow you think I didn’t read it? You live in a magically wonderful place. 000
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 04/10/2026Pleas think of the donors! And Carney’s investments in brookside et al. We don’t need no stinkin’ blind trust! 020
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 03/10/2026For all intensive purposes, ya blocked! . . . . (Phone kept fixing it to intents and, even after I thought it was done it fixed it again while I typed this.) 220
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 03/10/2026We already knew who musk was when he bought that monstrosity. 000
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 03/10/2026I was very surprised when I first saw one in person. The pics don’t do justice to what it looks and vibes like. 010
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 03/10/2026Can we please get to work on ground source heat pumps, EVs, solar, wind, grid batteries? The burning world does not need another pipeline and more extraction. Do better for our poorest. First Nations need an equal place at the table, and clean water. Stop having taxpayers subsidize corporations. 2282
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 03/10/2026Your profile says you are a dog and cat rescuer. I would expect someone who does that understands the bond people can have with their pets. What I think you don’t understand is that this human being deserves to have a bond like that too. It’s why you can be accused of treating them as a subhuman. 110
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 03/10/2026And if you read that article, they’re doing it because Trump is demanding they do it, not because they need to. He basically said release reserves to lower the price of diesel before the midterm elections or he’ll block diesel exports to them, which would raise prices even higher. 100
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 03/10/2026You keep asserting we’ll have dry pumps while not acknowledging we have more diesel refining than we need in Canada. We buy from the US because shipping is cheaper, not because we have to. I still think you lied about having to go to four places to find diesel. I can’t find any story about that. 101
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 03/10/2026That’s to manipulate the market and reduce price at the pumps. You don’t release a reserve if you don’t expect to replenish. And do you remember how we’re talking about Canada and your claim that if Trump stops diesel exports we’ll go hungry? 100
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 03/10/2026To be clear, i think odds for either to crash is close to zero. With musk I can see multiple unlikely but possible events happen that cause his spinning plates to fall. There is only one way I can see it happen to zuck. Pretty much everyone has to stop using fb/insta. The chance of that is zero. 000
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 03/10/2026It’s also less vulnerable to failed contracts and mostly operates outside of government regulation. Personality wise. I think Elon crosses people more, and will the double down and make it worse. I see zuck blow it and then he pretty quickly retreats and shuts up. 100
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 03/10/2026But he’s very good at getting others to put up the money and sucking out oversized compensation for himself. Zuck has an addiction based money generator that can pivot how it works overnight. It’s extremely resilient. People en masse would have to reject it to fail. 100
🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 03/10/2026Elon has more physical product manufacturing happening and is vulnerable to product failure, supply constraints, and loss of contracts from changing governments. It has always seemed like a house of cards the way he props up one business from another, like having spaceX buy Cybertrucks. 110
