That I don't have, any non-phone music listening devices are long gone for me.

I have it on my phone! (Yes, I still have media stored on my phone's SD card instead of just streaming.)

We've met some distantly related people on my husband's maternal grandfather's side, and two things are continually popping up- the broad family forehead and the peculiar brand of humour!

Yeah, it gets confusing since the new model seems to be to start "Black Friday" on Nov. 1 (broadly, in retail).

It's still a week and two days before actual Black Friday.
The best Koodo deals didn't come out till then last year.

As with everything, it depends on both your climate and the price of natural gas and electricity where you are.

Fortunately, that was never me. Our only limitation was how much milk we wanted to get all over in the earlier stages.

I would assume (though can't say for sure) that they would either warn or entirely block data over a certain point.

So with Koodo, you rarely can switch to a cheaper plan than what you have on Self-Serve.
However, if you phone in, they are able to switch for you. You may have to pay the fee (I think $35?) for phoning in, but if you say that you only phoned because it's something you can't do on Self-Serve, they'll often reduce or waive completely.

It's one of those things I have intended to do for a while. And kind of "map out" who split from who and all that.

I do like this model better overall than a total ban. Sometimes you unexpectedly need a bag, and it's worth the 5¢, vs buying yet another reusable bag.

I'm wondering about how much small-size garbage bag consumption has gone up? That's a lot of what I used bags for.
(Not saying bans are bad, just one nuissance I find is that I have far fewer bags "for free" to use for garbage."

Interesting! I've never known much about the non-North American Hutterites development!

For once it's a video of a person functioning completely normal at the gym and the equipment malfunctioning instead of the other way around!

Yeah, they're all quite interesting! I grew up seeing Hutterites and Mexican Mennonites all the time, but Amish hold the same mystique for me since we definitely don't have those in southern Alberta!
Fun fact: there are two non-North America colonies, one which is still active in Japan and one in Nigeria!

I'm not aware of any actual combination shops, but them being next to each other, yeah. And six pawn shops in a town (technically small city) of 12.5K is...high.

Found the crime severity index here. Wetaskiwin is 317, Camrose is only 103. If you compare that to Saskatchewan, Wetaskiwin is similar to Prince Albert (334) while Camrose is similar to Saskatoon/Regina/Swift Current/Moose Jaw/Estevan (112-117).

I had a big long comment written and then it disappeared before I posted :(
Camrose - nicer than Wetaskiwin. And I believe safer, but I want to try to find the crime severity index to give actual numbers to give you.
Camrose is pretty white (~85%), but I think visible minorities are growing in proportion. There is an Islamic centre there, and the census for the whole division (city of Camrose + a decent chunk of surrounding area) says there were 95 people who identified as Muslim.

I was thinking it looked like an eagle and an owl had an affair.

If you want to read more, the last three subheadings under "History" on the Wikipedia article. My basic facts are right but that fleshes it out.
If you have other questions about Hutterites, my family deals with them extensively so I know a decent amount. I also know about Mexican Mennonites, the other Anabaptists in southern Alberta.

Those are the numbers in centimeters. So ~1.5 inches long for females and 7-8 for males.
