From the other perspective it's not a great deal either. Gutting those decent jobs of the current posties and essentially turning them all into part time (poorer paid with less benefits) jobs isn't great either.

We don't need to have Canada Post turn into the Amazon-equivalent "make them piss in bottles so they meet their quotas" to make this work. And if we do need to go that far, then it's the recipients that need to adjust their expectations of deliveries. It's not up to Canada Post to turn into a shit place to work to meet unrealistic delivery expectations.

I refuse to order from Amazon due to how shit their delivery companies treat their employees. Sure the package gets to me a few days later ordering from others, but if it means the delivery folk are actually valued and compensated accordingly, then I'm fine with that. I am not OK treating delivery drivers like shit just so I get my Chinese junk a day or two faster.

Herrschners, Hobbii, and Ice Yarns (Ice is hit or miss though, be careful) for online, and if I desperately need something in a hurry, Michael's is my only big local store. I have a small LYS nearby but their stock isn't great.

Whatever else our conservative party may be, it is certainly not fiscally conservative. Here is a chart showing the national debt of Canada per year. Notice that the years of Chretien/Martin's Liberals were bringing the debt down (good) while the blue bars showing the conservative parties both before and after increasing the national debt (bad). Now I don't deny that Trudeau's spending was high, however, if we are talking about bringing back Harper's Conservatives (PP being Harper 2.0) is that really any better? That looks like yet more spending to me. If reducing the national debt is your goal, who do you propose?

Posts, bobbles, cables, twisted stitches, and lace. This pattern has listed these attributes. So I would start by learning them each individually and practicing them separately. Those are all kind of finicky things on their own. Combined with each other, definitely makes this an advanced pattern. It's beautiful, and a wonderful goal, but be gentle with yourself and don't rush into it or it could permanently affect your enjoyment of crochet.

You say they should have the same access to our market that we have to theirs. The problem with this argument is that their economy and production capabilities are 10x what ours are. If we open up to the same degree, they will crush our tiny market by just flooding it easily. You can't have "equal" access when one economy is 10x the size of the other. We are not equal economies. Yes Canada punches above its weight, but not to the same level as the US. This is why we need to be careful to not let them just flood us. Check the difference between equal vs equitable.

Thanks, that's good to know! It may have been around the 2.8 timeframe. But it definitely sounds like it's gotten better. I'll definitely be trying again.

I use it on Windows. Admittedly it launches better in Linux but it takes an age to launch in Windows. But yes, that was some time ago. Version 2.04 or something like that.

My question is: does it launch faster? I love GIMP for how powerful it is while still being free, but I hate how long it took to load. I was using less powerful alternatives on a regular basis just because I didn't want to wait for GIMP to open.

Oh interesting, it's basically tapestry crochet but with half-doubles instead of singles. No wonder the blocking opened up the stitches so much! Thank you for sharing!

It's beautiful! What technique did you use for the color work? I don't recognize it. I've done a lot of Mosaic crochet but this doesn't look like mosaic to me.

I've been looking for a new launcher. Though this one isn't selling itself with no screenshots. I don't use telegram, so I don't know if there's screenshots in there.

Edit: They posted screenshots in the Google Play page. Found them.

I'm using Voyager and everything's been good for me.
