They do, and as a Canadian, they should know that fellow Canadian John Hopps invented the 1st pacemaker. He’s even considered the father of biomedical engineering. I dug through trying to find out if he coined the term “heartpacer,” no such luck. It sounds like a Dutch translation to me.
I am outside of the loop and I appreciate your break-down. I am all for paying for useful services, but I have such a backlog of media that I need to watch, I don’t benefit from Trakt. I like a paid business model, though
We should all question a “free” app that lets us spend 1 or 2 or 8 hours a day on their platform. We’ve gotten greedy, thinking that everything should be personal data or advertiser supported. It stinks that Trakt is cutting features while raising prices, all for a pretty simple service, but I think subscription services that protect your privacy are worth funding.
This article focuses specifically on the warming and the depletion of oxygen in our rivers. I watched the video, but I didn’t read the text. I think it is just a transcript from the video.
The best way to save any part of our environment is to get more people to engage with it. Whether that is fishing on a river, hiking through the woods, or any other outdoor activity. These activities have routinely been proven clinically to improve a person’s health and well-being. If we can get more people participating in this positive feedback loop, we will have more interest and political will to protect our environment.
It’s only mentioned that warming in general is causing the lack of oxygen in the rivers. Well, what is causing the warming? They mentioned sedimentation, but they don’t connect that more large rain events lead to more sedimentation, more sediment in the rivers absorbs more sunlight and holds heat. They mentioned removing old dams to make the water run faster which will keep it cooler. That’s a great thing to do, but we really need to focus on increasing the buffer zones between rivers and development and showing up the banks along our rivers.
So, Bill (after the divorce) buys the ranch as a gift, but the headline circles it back to a unsourced Melinda quote ON YAHOO FINANCE! This is another obfuscating hatchet job to whitewash billionaire behaviour by media owned by said billionaires. Please don’t engage. This is non-news. Down vote this to the sewer where it belongs.
MST3K or RiffTrax. Takes me back to high school.
My Thermador is no different, shitty ice maker.
“Screw 'em, do what you want” shall be the whole of the law.
A US made drone designed to be adopted by law enforcement/military with a hefty price tag is probably relying on robust public funds to procure such drones. Lucky for us n’er-do-wells, those public funds are being DOGEd. Right? …right?
“The funny thing about regret is, that it’s better to regret something you HAVE done, than to regret something you haven’t done. And by the way, if you see your mom this weekend, would you be sure to tell her…”
I know what you mean, but I immediately heard it different. It’s something we should be asking daily, just to make sure they have what they need. Are trans women okay? Are trans men okay? What do you need? I have a sympathetic ear and bourbon; how can I help?
He’s great. I first heard him on a Ninja Tune compilation. I got to see him in a 100 seater doing a poetry night. All snaps!
Pickles and nuts are standard charcuterie staples. You’ve got salty and savory and a little bit of fat. You need sweet to round this out. I would take your pickles and peanuts and spread them onto a whole wheat cracker (Ritz) or toast. Another option would be to add a jam into the mix and eat with a more neutral rice cracker.
Or, if you want to continue to be a degenerate, M&M’s would be good. Or hollow out a Cadbury egg and stuff it with the pickles/nuts mixture.
The odd sized Lodge pieces I have don’t get used much, but they’re fun and deliver the goods.
I have a tiny skillet, maybe 2.5 or 3 inches. It makes a fried egg that has brown, crispy edges and fits beautifully on a biscuit. I can only do one at a time, but it’s novel and appreciated by the family.
I have the big pan too, 15" I think. It almost takes 2 hands to lift, but it is great for paella or stir fry, any time you need surface area.
And I have the flat, circular pan with 2 handles. I think people use it for a pizza stone, which I have and it works fine. It fits perfectly on the large Big Green Egg, so I use it as a griddle for steak, salmon, veggies, etc. I haven’t regretted any Lodge purchase.
