  • Hopefully they actually killed that contract and not just saying it for clout. They better have a plan to still provide better Internet services to these communities.

    My wife’s family had to deal with shitty xplornet services for years while living in the sticks. They literally had no internet for weeks and xplornet was like “we don’t see any issues on our end”. It took multiple calls to actually get a tech to finally come out, but then said nothing’s wrong and left it at that, despite no internet still. Xplornet just eventually started ignoring their calls. They got starlink and haven’t had an issue since. It sucks that it’s owned by Elon “the man-child Nazi” Musk, who could just decide to cut off services in Canada. Doesn’t help our own telecoms are dog shit in their own way either. It’s long overdue getting the rural and remote communities access to Internet in Canada.







  • We have a grazer (who is also picky) and an over eater at home. To control their food we had to give them more, smaller meals each day. Here is our feeding schedule:

    Breakfast: split a can of wet cat food between both cans (3.2oz can) - between 6-7am Lunch: a scoop of dry food into a bowl each (don’t really know the size, maybe a half cup) - around 12pm Dinner: split another can of wet food - between 5-6pm 2nd dinner: a scoop of dry food each - between 10-11pm

    It’s not perfect as sometimes the over eater will get a bit more food, but the restrictions do help keep a schedule for them. When the grazing cat finishes only half their wet food, we often give the rest to the big guy. The dry food is also an appetite control diet, but the over eater still goes to town on it.

    The picky one sometimes doesn’t eat the wet food and wants dry food, so we save the half of the wet food for the other one’s lunch.

    Experiment around, see what works and what doesn’t. Maybe try an appetite control food, it is a bit pricier but may work for you.
