and trying to sort emails by subject doesn't work becuz he constantly puts new stuff in the subject line.

Does he reply-all? You could cc all of his accounts.

When people start fataing with the subject in emails I change it back. I've also been known to piece together the proper chronology from past emails to keep the chain intact. People who screw around with an email conversation are so annoying and it can lead to such confusion.

Yeah, I get that. I just think like one-off mistakes by new drivers aren’t worth the effort to march up to the front of the bus to say it.

I think the main problem with the express buses is the number of actual scheduled bus stops and hitting the locations that are already serviced by multiple buses.

People who reply to an email with a question/request that is completely different than the subject line RGMG. Usually they'll just take the most recent email they received from me and reply to it. That's why I change the subject line, to make it relevant to the actual subject of the new message. And yes, i will also piece together emails from various senders/messages to keep the chronology intact.

I just added apples to the list of everything else that is crazy expensive.

It's not going to get better. Loblaws said they have 1000 vendors begging them to raise prices.

https://toronto.citynews.ca/2023/02/...y-10-per-cent/

“We still have over 1,000 supplier requests on our desks for significant cost increases,” Galen G. Weston, chairman and president of Loblaw Companies Ltd., said during a call with analysts on Thursday.

we're all ####ed for food prices. The list of things I can no longer buy is pretty huge.

I only buy whatever variety of apples is on sale any given week and it is easy to find deals between $1.50 and $2.00 per pound which doesn't seem that bad. I don't remember apples being significantly cheaper previously.

Honeycrisp are the only good apple and they’ve been expensive forever. Are they charging more for poor people Red Delicious apples or something?

You could always get ####ty apples for $1 per pound prepandemic.


How much are people up on their grocery bills. I’m about 33% higher then pre-pandemic.

Apples aren't even that great. They're the carrots of the fruit world. A staple you can mindlessly mow down on like a thoughtless rabbit, but I've yet to meet an apple I actually enjoy.

Raspberries are where it's at.

What is this, a conversation for people who've never eaten pineapple? I could see people saying that bananas or tangelos are the best, because they're delicious and convenient, but apples or raspberries...come on.

Bananas? WTF, slava. That's messed up. You like gumming mush? I eat a few a week under duress, but enjoying a banana is weird AF. I think that's enough internet for me today.
