1. Single-person household tips （ 84 ｜ 28 ｜ 28）
Original title:Single household advice
Post summary:Hey family, just wondering if those in single-person households can share some money-saving tips they swear by? Just having trouble with things like food portions, and wondering what others are doing? I try freezing things, but I find they tend to lose quality over time, and I'd rather make simple "meals for one," but they're not always that tasty, and in the long run, I usually end up wasting money. Is there anywhere in town that sells homemade single-serving takeout meals?

Hey fam, Just wondering if all those single households out there could share some money saving tips they swear by? Just having a hard time with things like food portions, and wondering what everyone else does?

- The boycott and unsubscribe movement has gained a lot of support recently. www.resistandunsubscribe.com Save money and hurt big tech! It's a win-win. As for food, I meal prep every Sunday, and while it doesn't always work out, it helps. Make some braised pork as a base for salads, rice, or other things. (24)

I buy discounted meat and fish and seal them into ready-to-use portions. (18)

I buy things like meat and fish on sale and seal it in ready to use portions. - If you can find deals at M&M, they have lots of single-serving options. Nucci's deli has reasonably priced sandwiches, and they have things in the freezer for meals. I make chili and freeze it. It's surprising, given the population, that grocery stores don't have more single-serving options. But Metro Bakery offers packs like two bagels (so you don't have to buy six) and other small portions. (8)

I make single-serving meals and eat them all. You can make rice or quinoa at the start of the week and it keeps for about 4 days. Then you just need to make something to go with it. I make a lot of single-serving fried rice. Usually broccoli, carrots, frozen edamame, and other things. Then you can cook the veggies in one pan, adding them based on cooking time, like broccoli last (7)

I definitely recommend going there. In my opinion, they have the best artists in town. (13)

3. WeatherRadio goes offline today, Environment Canada shifts focus to apps and interactive services （ 35 ｜ 13 ｜ 11）
Original title:WeatherRadio went offline today, Environment Canada shifting focus to Apps and Interactive services
Post summary:https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/weatheradio.html Have you used this service? Will you miss it? Thoughts? I relied on it when camping on Silver Island and Highway 588. In my opinion, a backbone emergency system that relies on cell service/internet connectivity doesn't make much sense. I only used it when I couldn't get such luxuries. A handheld storm radio is much cheaper than a Starlink Mini and easier to carry for backpacking.

EN: Kekabekka falls is a good one. Terry fox monument. I believe Mt mccay is open. - Do you mean the top of the Giant's trail? Even if it's open, I wouldn't hike it this time of year without some serious preparation. It's a 22 km round trip hike with 900 feet of elevation gain. The trail would be very icy and completely unguarded, it could get very dangerous. McKay Mountain lookout is also vehicle-access restricted in winter. (6)

- The locker rooms are terrible, making me debate moving to another gym. No gender privacy, no place to prep for workouts, and the women's washroom has a small mirror enough for one person. (4)
EN: The change rooms are whack has me debating about moving gyms, there’s no gender privacy whatsoever no where to get ready for work, on a small mirror in women’s washroom enough for one person. - I do like the new gym and machines, they're very sleek and nice, and like the addition of new Smith machines and new machines. Though I thought there would be more new machines that other gyms don't have (2)
EN: I do like the new gym and machines tho, they’re so smooth and nice and like the addition of new smith machines and new machines. Although I thought there would be more new machines that there wasn’t in the other gym - The gym itself is much better than the old one. It has more than they had, more overall space, and several new machines. They could use more variety in cable attachments, and the 2 landmine stations don't have any good handles. There are some things at the university gym that slide over the bar ends, which are great. The locker room setup is very different, but it's growing on me. Until I have to wait for a room to open up, which happens at very busy times, I like it. But that's a man's opinion (2)
EN: The gym itself is vastly superior to the old one. It’s more of what they had, more room overall, and a couple of new machines. They could use more variety of cable attachments and the 2 landmine row spots don’t have any
