:us: diplomatic grammar inquiry:

Do you :canada: people refer to restaurant employees as “help”? (In the U and S and A it is more commonly described as “service”)

I read a google-review & couldn’t help but wonder if the author was Canuckian because ‘the help’ is a VERY antiquated, even derogatory term.

It’s more of a southern term… I would call them servers though…

*Southern American…

No we don’t use that, as you said it is derogatory, and would only be used privately or offhand. Like the expression “It’s hard to find good help these days” is an insult referring to newbs and morons on the jobsite. I’ve always seen ‘help’ as a southern U.S. term for domestic employees, or a request for assistance… ‘Farmhand’ is the closest we use to ‘help’, but is a description more than a title and not derogatory. we still call them waitresses and waiters, up here…everyone in retail is a “customer service representative” which is a maligned catch-all phrase we use to give us frontliners a sense of importance. As in, “excuse me Ma’am I’m a CSR not a cashier” Cheers!

Service would be my ‘go to’ (southern Ontario). Help sounds ‘odd’.

Tim Hortons rollup…not a contest…not for those without cellphone… No contest just virtual buy bonus, so no cups no skill testing question…a virtual giveaway…which is actually, nothing…but a tax writedown for the company…very foreign owned of them…excluding most of their senior customers…smooth move Brazil…Tim Horton would ‘jersey’ the ceo of timmeualas if he were alive…

Wow that’s almost as cheap a rate as the Americans we sell our power to get! I might have to start heating my house with thousand watters lol

@Scissor-Hanz DNF is still the best base nute I’ve used to this day, and it’s also easy and cheap. Once my giant sack of mega crop runs out in 2025 I might just switch back.

Also I’ve had great results with other similar AB two parts like bigfoot and nutri+

I’ve been getting excited by Chronickyle’s Blue Velvet grow & started checking my bean vault
(…well, actually just the spreadsheet :laughing:).
I was getting multiple hits (genetically) so I started to look at putting some projects around it.

After turning over a few rocks I found “DJ Shorts Blueberry” at E.C. Genetics, located in Nova Scotia. Looks like the guy’s name is Michael MacDonald.
Looks like he might be running his own lines, anybody know about him?

Cheers

Damn I guess singing isn’t paying the way it used to. Must have heard selling seeds is good money.

(sorry couldn’t resist with my corny sense of humour) I haven’t heard of E.C genetics but just looked them up. Seems like they only offer fem seeds though.

Never heard of them here, E.C must be short for East Coast Genetics. I will have to find out where they are exactly here.

I have never heard of them . So can’t speak on any of their gear. My guess is it is a company that was part of the corporate takeover green rush , called " legalization " .
Some nice pics on their site . But that BB pic looks hurtin lol

get an electric chainsaw, they are light and way less dangerous to use.

That’s a loaded question. Like the Ford / Mopar thing.
I have always had Stihl and found them really dependable. Don’t use it a lot but probably 2-3 cords cut each summer for winter heat.
