    I live here in Toronto.

    When I go to a store, I pay with cash.

    I pay with Canadian money, because I’m a Canadian who buys from stores in Canada.

    That was easy to do in Ontario Wal-Mart stores.

    But then they put up self-check-outs that only accepted credit and debit cards—maybe because they’re in cahoots with the banks and the NSA/wp:CSEC.

    Then I had to use a cashier.

    So I went to Wal-Mart fewer times as I didn’t like to wait (as well as the increased prices during and after Covid-19).

    Now they have a person at the self-checkout who will scan my stuff and accept my cash.

    It seems that Wal-Mart adapted—somewhat—to people like me: people who pay with cash.

    Still, I do more purchases at Food Basics and Dollarama because their self-check-outs accept cash, including pockets full of loose change that I purposely carry when I go there.



  • The word “liver” doesn’t appear in the Wikipedia article.

    As for oxalates:

    wp:Oxalate:

    Several plant foods such as the root and/or leaves of spinach, rhubarb, and buckwheat are high in oxalic acid and can contribute to the formation of kidney stones in some individuals. Other oxalate-rich plants include fat hen (“lamb’s quarters”), sorrel, and several Oxalis species (also sometimes called sorrels). The root and/or leaves of rhubarb and buckwheat are high in oxalic acid.[14] Other edible plants with significant concentrations of oxalate include, in decreasing order, star fruit (carambola), black pepper, parsley, poppy seed, amaranth, chard, beets, cocoa, chocolate, most nuts, most berries, fishtail palms, New Zealand spinach (Tetragonia tetragonioides), and beans.[citation needed] Leaves of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis) contain among the greatest measured concentrations of oxalic acid relative to other plants. However, the drink derived by infusion in hot water typically contains only low to moderate amounts of oxalic acid due to the small mass of leaves used for brewing.[citation needed]

    but no mention of peanuts in the main or talk page.

    The doctor might be wrong.
