Here’s a link to Rogers instructions. It’s the same for all carriers but I don’t personally know how to do it on android so this link has instructions for both iOS and android.

Here’s another link from the Government of Canada site to report SPAM other than SMS.

Here’s a link to the national do not call list (for whatever that’s worth)

Forward the message to 7726 (SPAM).

Works with all carriers and it’s free.

Have you seen the wild variations on Coca Cola?! Should be illegal to charge such insanely different prices for exactly the same product just because of the size of the bottle. I get buying in bulk should be cheaper (think 5gal pail of mayo at Costco) than single servings but come on. What’s the cost difference to the manufacturer between 750ml bottles and a 2L bottle.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say OP isn’t wearing men’s relaxed fit Levi’s. As a joke I managed to fit an iPad mini in my front pocket. Just saying.

It looked stupid but it worked.

Well, we do share a land border with Denmark. Sooooo…. we’re practically European already!

Arctic first then Voyager. I find Arctic does a better job handling animated media files like GIFs etc.

That goes in your rain gutters downspout opening to keep the leaves from clogging it up.

The first time I saw this thing it was marketed as something to hold a pair of eye glasses on the front of a shirt if you don’t have a pocket. One half goes on the inside of your shirt and the other goes on the outside. They’re held together, in place, with really strong magnets.

I’m wearing my first pair of Bucks boots right now. Great hand made alternative to the Blundstones I’ve been wearing at work for years. A tiny bit cheaper too.

Buy the dip. I more than doubled my position in YNVD on Monday when it was plummeting. As far as I’m concerned, I got a 20% discount on something I was already buying.

It’s about time! Pretty asinine that my SwitchBot can have the icon of a robot vacuum but it can only function as an on/off light switch in the Home app.

When you are writing the date, the only correct way is ISO8601 (YYYY-MM-DD). If you’re speaking to someone (verbal communication) then do whatever you want.

You do the Dew, do you? Higher caffeine American condensed water vapour or the weaker Canadian stuff?

I’m looking for recommendations for a backpack that will be used for commuting to work. What I’m looking for would have one large compartment that I could put a shirt and a pair of pants in, a Bluetooth speaker, a large Contigo water bottle and maybe some miscellaneous stuff. I don’t want a hundred pockets and compartments (internal or external). All I seem to be able to find are laptop backpacks or hiking backpacks that are just too “busy” with features that would just get in the way or waste storage space. I really don’t want to have to resort to buying a laptop backpack and then cutting out all the internal compartments with a razor blade. That’s just dumb, and I worry that what’s left after cutting would start to fray and fall apart. Durability and and convenience are top priority but price isn’t a huge issue (within reason).

TIA.

Update 1: Since there have been several positive comments re. JanSport bags… That’s what I’ve decided to try. I pulled the trigger on this bag. It’s a bit fancier (suede parts) than what I was originally planning but it ticks all the boxes. The fact that they have a Canadian store and free shipping is icing on the cake.

Update 2: Bag just arrived today. It’s nice, really nice. I almost feel bad about the abuse it’s going to take. The canvas is quite thick and has a very high quality feel to it. Same for the suede. Doesn’t feel cheap at all. It’s just the right size for my needs. At first glance the external water bottle pocket looked too small to fit any kind of reusable bottles but I tried forcing it a bit and found it has a very strong elastic band that holds the pocket folded against the main body of the bag. We’ll see how long that elastic band holds up. The zippers feel nice but I don’t know what brand they are as they have a stylized “JS” on the zipper pulls. It does have a laptop sleeve that I was kinda hoping to avoid but the way they’ve done it is very nice. It’s a zippered full length pocket not accessible from within the main compartment. It’s kinda hidden between the top mounting points of the shoulder straps and the upper flap that covers the main compartment zipper. Overall I’m very happy with this bag and I think the price is about right for the quality of the materials and construction of the bag.

Thanks everyone for your input.

Feature request (self.avelon)
 

Any chance of Avelon working properly on iPadOS? It seems every other Lemmy app I’m using via TestFlight fills the screen properly on my iPad mini but Avelon doesn’t, it displays an iPhone sized window that you can only zoom in to sorta fit vertically. Having to use two different apps for my iPad and iPhone is the only thing keeping me from switching to Avelon as my primary app. It’s just so much nicer than the rest in every other meaningful way. Thx.

 

That’s +28°C by the way
