You've noticed a difference in drivers depending on the quadrant of the city?

Here I thought all Calgary drivers were #######s.

Is the clown a coworker, boss, or one of the executives?

Easier to control tan and more privacy to deal with certain tan lines?

Bigtime. Oh they suck everywhere, but I find people rip a lot more and seem more aggressively impatient when I'm in the deep south of the city, the vehicles seem a lot larger too IMO. Inner city drivers are a whole different type of suck.

Growing up, I swear ice cubes used to explode about half the times I'd put them in something. Haven't seen an ice cube explode in years now, though, and I think I use them more than ever. What's up with that?

Better freezers and better ice makers! Not those crappy, plastic flippy cube moulds!

In the old days ice cubes were made with real water, not the denatured zero flavoured liquid you get now.

Microplastics in the water contribute to better bonding.

You are probably using machine ice vs tray ice so you don’t get the air voids that heat up causing the ice to explode. Your fancy lifestyle has ruined the finer things.

You know those videos where, like, a burglar tries to rob a store and instead of being successful a group of customers forms a little mob and beats the #### out of him? I'd like to be a part of one of those one day.

At a store near me two thieves broke into a convenience store and when discovered fled into the back and tried to hide in the ceiling, only to crash through the ceiling. The security video could only have been better if people had been there to beat the crap out of them when they hit the floor.

That was a few years ago in Edmonton, no?

That fall looks like it should've hurt way more yet she almost just bounces softly and gets up like nothing happened.

Drugs are a hell of a drug.

Well, you can't really blame them. They are miles from anywhere way down there, it takes forever to get to anywhere else in the city.

Just noticed that Loblaws "Pacific White Shrimp" now states Product of India on the package. Not sure what it is was before, but it wasn't India. How can they still market it as Pacific shrimp?

The reality is, it's actually a type of shrimp, not a description of a location:

https://www.seafoodsource.com/seafoo...-pacific-white

If you look at the bottom of the page, India is a source.
