Be forewarned that they don't have cakes just sitting there. Every cake is made fresh. You have to order it in advance, or at least call in advance of what you want. Don't show up empty handed when you visit your mom. That would deserve a good ol' feather duster beating.

Lol, I’m going in for cataract surgery soon. Everybody over 60 gets cataracts. It gets worse over time. This video cracks me up. It’s a common procedure. I guess, in the US, it costs money. Cataract surgery is covered here in Canada. My cataracts were detected a few years ago. Back then, it was ever so slight. Now it has gotten to the point where my night vision is is being affected. I can still spot a hottie around corners, just not so easily at night, gulolol.

Just kidding. Similar to Mikoyan. Got our wedding cake there. I wasn't a believer of everyone saying the cake there is good. I'm a believer now.
Dukes came through! Sister loved her birthday cake so much. Everyone was commenting how amazing it was. Made me look good

Lynched by who? The non-existent RS beatdown crew?

Actually... knowing your random luck, that would be the ONE time the beatdown crew would actually assemble lol

What's the cost for repairing eye sight in USA? (Total hospital cost)

Jokes aside.. that’s far from an easy question to answer. So many variables.

The cost of cataract surgery in the US for someone without Medicare or private medical insurance has ranged from approximately $3,783 to $6,898 per eye in 2019, according to a report prepared for All About Vision by leading eye care industry analytics firm Market Scope.

I think I'll go for the deluxe, customized, X-RAY vision lenses, gulolol.

Regular lenses for cataract procedure is covered by BC Medical. Custom lenses costs money, but you only pay for the difference. I better book the appointment sooner than later. Who knows? They may start charging for the free procedure. FOMO setting in. The cataract correction is permanent. As in, it fixes the issue for the rest of your life. "I can see!" said the blind man.


Thank god I live in BC.

The Official No Need To Start a New Thread, Thread

Netflix Canada has new password sharing rules in order to discourage sharing of account access:


https://curiocity.com/netflix-canada...rce=linkin.bio

-from the article:

The days of using your ex’s Netflix account are now over. Netflix Canada has rolled out its newest rules when it comes to sharing your password.

Per the new changes on the streaming platform, it has now become a little more difficult for users to share their account with those out of a main account holder’s household. So if you have a family account but do not live at home with your parents or relatives, you’ll have to guide them through the new process. Though it’s not impossible to share a password, it’s a little more tedious.

How does Netflix know who is a household user and who isn’t? Well, According to Netflix Canada’s FAQ page on password sharing, it tracks your IP address, device IDs, and account activity to make sure everything checks out.

Those who do not live in your household will need to use their own account to watch Netflix, plain and simple. But when devices outside of your household sign in or use the service “persistently”, Netflix may ask the account holder to verify the device before it can be used

So that means if you’ve been… you know, using an account that was left signed into your computer – unless it’s verified, you can forget about watching the rest of Ginny & Georgia season two.

And to verify an account, main account holders will have to click a link sent to the email address or phone number connected with the primary account owner, and enter a four-digit verification code that needs to be entered on the requested device within 15 minutes. There’s no say how many times you’ll be required to do this but it sounds tedious.

Rest assured, for those outside your household, “Netflix will not automatically charge you if you share your account with someone who doesn’t live with you.”

Any recommendations for a reasonability priced cabinet maker/installer in Tri-Cities? We tried looking at Ikea but our room doesn't fit their standard cabinet dimensions.

We want to fit our laundry room with more overhead storage and a table to iron and fold clothes on.

We were recently quoted $1500 for a pre-fab online cabinet company for 3 shelves and doors (excluding installation)....

So sounds like it'll just a bit a bit more annoying to share by emailing account holders to "verify" the device accessing the account more frequently.

I heard they want ur device to be connected to your home WiFi once every 30days and if you're on vacation you need to request a 7day pass from their website

I travel often so if it becomes annoying then I'll just cancel

It really shouldn't matter if you pay for a 4 screen service, where those 4 screens are connected from is moot
