Haha I am Canadian. A "normal" plan out here can go between $100-$150 a month if you want a decent amount of data. But you get a Free* Iphone 7 with this 3 year contract!


*theres a 80% chance you will be charged extra every month if you take the plans that come with a phone

Come on. These "nobodies" aren't really retarded like Jimmy down the street. However, with enough punches to the head they will be and that is much more satisfying than a permanent loss of their head.

Y'all want some chicken horror look up "vent pecking" some time. Apparently captive chickens will frequently get it in their heads that it's a good idea to peck at the other chickens' throbbing cloacas right after an egg is laid, to the point where they sometimes peck their guts out through their rear end and then cannibalize them. Weirdly free-range chickens do it more than caged ones, so enjoy that mental image the next time you buy free-range grass-fed eggs at whole foods, yuppies

Pecking order is normal but today's chickens are loving crazy so they do it more in tighter areas.

I slaughtered a bunch of my sister's friend's bird because they built too small of a pen for them. It was on the 4th of July.

Don't know how to get an FB video into the forums, but Coles Australia is starting to put out mini shopping collectibles, there are already ebay listings and facebook groups dedicated to collecting.

Recently, Coles and other major grocers also banned plastic shopping bags because of environmental concerns, but replaced them with reusable bags which are thicker and last longer, but are still made of plastic and cost 15 cents each.

The issue is more about the fact that they replaced the problem item with a worse problem item and charged money for it, not that they are no longer free.

It is to encourage people to bring their own instead a getting a new one for every trip to the supermarket. It is the same here.

A 5p charge on plastic bags was introduced here in Scotland in 2014 and their usage was immediately reduced by over 80%

You're right; they should cost more. (Although I use a cotton bag [also sold to me by a major grocer] for shopping and one of those reusable plastic bags for carrying firewood in the Winter because those fuckers are tough.)

I work at a bottlo in Australia and it has had an almost immediate impact. I still think that all the money raised off selling reusable bags should be spent cleaning up beaches and the ocean but I understand that’s crazy.

My other idea is that if you ask for a plastic bag I imemdiately put the plastic bag over your head and tape it shut

yeah, about that...

"I felt really good about myself, until I saw a report published earlier this year by Denmark’s Ministry of Environment and Food that said that plastic bags are better for the environment than organic cotton tote bags. In fact, of all the shopping bags the study looked at — from paper to recycled plastic — cotton tote bags fared the worst: they need to be reused thousands of times to have the same environmental footprint as a lightweight plastic bag, according to the report."

the point is that that “main drawback” isn’t an issue at all in some parts of the world, and in those places a switch away from plastic bags is at best meaningless and at worst counterproductive
