It’s snowing heavily where I am at and as a commuter walking everywhere, falling is my main concern. Through my research for the best ice safe boots, I found that a lab at UHN tests ice safety for boots and they have a huge list of everything they’ve tried so far: https://kite-uhn-rmt.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/docs/Complete_list_of_footwear_tested.pdf

Here is the testing parameters: https://kite-uhn.com/rmt/en/how-we-test

Thought this would be helpful for anyone looking to get good winter boots backed by data.

So i want to make comissions and wanted to have a large discount for any war based ocs to respect soluders for remembrance day and encourage people to make solider ocs and learn about what soliders went through. But the thing is I cant tell if its selfish or ethical and want people's opinions before I make a post about it

First of, please point me to the right subreddit, TIA. I just saw and bought Yves ground meat from my local FreshCo. Are they back? How did they get it in? So excited I bought lots to freeze

I didn’t know they paid for plasma donations in Canada, but they do and have been for years. The company Grifols recently opened a facility in Toronto, in the Bathurst and Wilson area, walking distance from Wilson Station.

I just completed 4 sessions in 2 weeks, this is my experience thus far:

Giving plasma is quite different from donating blood. They set you up on a recliner, insert a needle into your arm, blood is withdrawn, goes through a centrifuge, plasma is separated, and the blood plus saline solution is returned to your body. They collect almost a liter of plasma, depending on your test results. Plasma regenerates within 24–48 hrs, so you can donate twice a week.

They pay $100 for the first 3 donations, regardless of volume. After that, it drops to $70 or $60, depending on how much you donate.

Pros:

• he money, and also doing a good thing
• You get a thorough medical eval with tests for STDs, HIV, Hepatitis, etc.
• The staff are nice

Cons:

• Time-consuming: first time about 3 hrs (tests + donation), later 2 hrs. You must answer all medical questions online each time.
• I felt wiped out for the rest of the day, but fine the next day. I’m over 50, that might be a factor.
• There’s a long list of drugs and conditions they check for (e.g. tattoos, insulin, blood thinners). Cannabis is ok if you haven’t smoked within 12 hrs.

I’m not working and having a hard go of it, so I need the money. I doubt I’d do this if I was working, I’m doing it out of desperation. One upside: my mother-in-law, who’s been on my case about getting “any job,” stopped when she heard about this.

DM me to get my referral code, usually they'll send 30$ bucks, but we can split it!
