Our family was supposed to go to Baltimore this summer but instead we're going to Ottawa :)

You'd be losing a lot of extra product to the trimming that way -- or you'd maybe have to use individual molds for each bar. With a rectangular shape, you can pour the soap into slabs and then cut everything exactly to size with very little wastage.
I found a video showing the process (you can skip to about 3:30): https://youtu.be/TvIBzCIwpLM
Who exactly is examining your purchase orders for childfree ideological purity? You're a grownup. If you want the comfy pillow, you can buy the comfy pillow.
Maybe look for coverage of a topic or event from a few major US media sites/papers, and then at the same event from somewhere outside the US.
Etc.
That sounds super frustrating!
Our stove has those and I've never noticed this; everything takes about the same time to cook as on our last stove, which had the older-style elements. I wonder if it might be a problem with your particular model or brand?

Not quite what you're asking, but similar energy I think!
I had a second-hand bread machine that served me very well for several years, until one day when it started vibrating like crazy and threw itself off the counter mid-knead. The whole lid smashed into about seven pieces and the dough went all over the floor. We still refer to it as "the time the bread maker committed suicide."
Anyway, that's how I ended up making all our bread by hand for the next four years or so.
Give me a Star Trek-style replicator and I'm never cooking dinner again.
Brilliant. Setting up some filters has made browsing All so much better!
People don't need to engage politically on every single platform they frequent. I've blocked a long list of political keywords, because 95% of the political content I see here is about a country I'm not from. Americans can scream at each other to their hearts' content without my being obligated to participate or even observe.
I lived in Ottawa for four years, actually, and my husband for over a decade -- but I haven't been back since 2013 and our kids have never visited. I'm actually really looking forward to revisiting some of my old stomping ground with them!
We haven't really filled out our itinerary yet, so I don't mind suggestions on things to do with the kids in particular (all elementary school age). So far we're thinking touring the Hill & Peace Tower, the Museum of Nature, whatever the Museum of Civilization is called these days, and maybe one of the river/canal boat tours.
