A Warning

Meh, probably that giffy Grandpa Bill guy, or whatever his latest nom de plume is.

... okay, the Canadian finally brought me maple syrup but I hate pancakes....

We were driving back from Alaska through northwest Brutish Columbia. We stopped at a store on a First Nations reserve for supplies. Milk was $8 / half-gallon. Maple syrup was $12 / gallon. Yes, the syrup was cheaper than milk. Probably fresher, too.

I should start shitposting about the high prices of Canadian stuff.

That's because it's much harder to milk a penguin then a tree.

There are no penguins in northern hemisphere. Except in Pittsburgh. It's either musk ox or caribou milk.

Half a gallon? What's that about two litres?

How far north in B.C.? That is the big reason. Prices for perishable foods in the north are outfuckingrageous! And non-perishables almost as bad.

It's about $6.50 per gallon (bloody foreigners and their ancient weights and measures) or 4 liters. That's at Walmart or mega-corp grocery store. Convenience store can charge $3 for 500ml. A pint for you poor benighted foreigners.

I have to drink skim milk, so I get a price break by buying powdered milk.

Milk and dairy are protected industries. Can't have cheap imports from the US drive our farmers out of business.

Got to pay for UHC and cheap university/college tuitions somehow.

TANSTAAFL. We have high food and gas prices. You have rampant guns and Trumpistas.
Thinking we get the better deal.

You folk also have those HUGE Cali. strawberries. Huge plump and almost tasteless from being force fed Cali's watery lifeblood. Local berries, when available, are a third the size and 5X the taste.

Cali. is supporting it's farming industry by using it's most precious resource, water.

So don't buy California strawberries. We too have farmers markets. Always a better option, or what makes more sense? Grow your own, harvest, preserve for winter.

Usually there is a mass exodus from the cities for u-picks and country roads stalls. Farmers markets only have them for a few weeks. Corner gas stations all have a mini-market during harvest time.

I never had the property to grow my own. Not much of a preservers either. May other do though.

When we came to Canada after two years parents bought a 1/4 acre home and lot in the country. Half was taken up with a huge garden. My mum tended that thing for years until us kids were old enough to look after our selves after school then she went back to work.

They tried to give each of us a small plot to work. I grew an impressive collection of native plants! Or weeds depending on your outlook.

When we lived in England. Parents could not afford to own a house, rented. Car was a company vehicle that Dad used.

We came to Canada with 3 steamer trunks. In two years parents had saved enough for an 1800 sq. ft. home on a large lot in the country. Dad earned 2X as much for identical job with same company. And things were 1/3 cheaper.

Don't remember drinking milk as a kid in England. Tried it for first time on ship coming over.

When we went back to England for a holiday, us three kids towered over all the relatives. I figured it was the hormones in the massive amounts of milk we drank. I think parents bought 5 3 liter bags a week of milk. Maybe more (?).

[Saint Peter]

Damn.

 

[Lancecastor]

Damn.

Funny, eh?

 

[Saint Peter]

Funny, eh?

It is. I looked at the site yesterday after the link was posted. It looked old and tired. The rules are funny as hell. Either not enforced or the site owner has a staff of 1000 mods deleting offending post, post after post.

 

[Lancecastor]

Complaining about 4Chan gets your post deleted and/or you get banned.

Did Donald buy 4chan?

 

[Saint Peter]

He is going to make Laurel buy 4chan for him.

The first rule of 4chan is don't talk about 4chan.

 

[Conager]

I just realized where I have heard the author's voice of that poster on 4chan previously. It's Magnetron.

 

[neci]

That's because it's much harder to milk a penguin then a tree.

speak for yourself.

 

[LadyJS]

Did Donald buy 4chan?

I heard he was going to build a wall around 4chan and make them pay for it

 

[Hard_Rom]

So it's easier to milk the tree first?

How do you think you get sap for maple syrup?!

 

[Saint Peter]

You spelled fap wrong.

 

[Halen]

The first rule of 4chan is don't talk about 4chan.

I always thought it was point and LOL`s and 4chan

 

[Hard_Rom]

Sap comes from trees?

I thought it came from the Authors' Hangout...

You have to sweet talk them in the light of a waning moon.

The AH emits hot air. The Playground oozes sap. The GB is all bluff and bluster.
