"breaded patty is deep-fried in oil, before being placed on a sweet brioche bun, flavored by wasabi and chilli mayonnaise"
I'll bet the flavour of the "chicken" really comes through that.
Ah well, cheap protein in space is what it is.
I was thinking the same thing. Nothing like covering up the flavor with sauces and deep frying for a true taste test.
Isn't there a middle ground between either having matchplay based on skill rankings or having it based on completely random players? Why can't we have both? Why does the choice have to be limited to one type of matchplay?
I think that most people would support skill ranking matchplay that creates a level playing field. After all, people get tired of constantly being "owned" by better players and teams. This gives both teams a fair chance at winning.
As for complete random matching, it does provide the opportunity to match up with players much better than you or much worse than you. It can help some players advance by playing against much better players and learning some of their strategy. It gives more advanced players the opportunity to just have fun or explore.
Why not have both are an option and selectable by the player?
were desperate to be rid of him. Funny thing is he did best in counties where COVID is running out of control. I can't fault the man for his political instincts. His complete lack of basic human decency I can fault, but not his political instincts.
Hell, McConnell laughed at the deaths of those 200k+ Americans in his debate with McGrath and still won in a landslide. The GOP know how to win. Pity they can't govern worth a shit. But I don't think the skills overlap.
Yes and no. It's not just political instincts. They get a big lift from the gerrymandering that has been going on for at least the last 30+ years. By doing so, they guaranteed wins where there are a lot of conservative voters and work to minimize and isolate the more liberal areas.
While this is good for staying in power, it removes the centrists and the politicians who are willing to negotiate with the other side. This has caused the polarization that we are seeing and it's only getting worse. The only way to fix it would be to reset the districts.
If you want to insult someone, learn the correct way to do it: "Québeckers".
Actually, it would be Quebeckers, without the accent... but that's just nit picking as it would be equally offensive.
Anyone who used "Québecians" would be laughed at for being a stupid American. The intended insult would backfire, just like on here...
write properly in French
Québecians don't speak proper French.
It's not Québecians, its Québecois... Before you insult a culture, at least learn a bit about it...
So I think the 98% claim is useful for the targeted audience: those who are actually addressed by this statistic, who are NOT the professionals or "prosumers" (who can and should evaluate suitability without leaning on a single Apple reveal percentage). Nothing to see here, super weird repetition of the same bitching all over.
It's a misleading statement designed for one thing, marketing. The fact that most average consumers wouldn't notice the difference is not a valid argument.
I agree with the old adage that "a fool and his money are soon parted". But that doesn't mean that those that know better shouldn't do what they can to help their neighbors. It seems a tad selfish to just ignore misleading and false information.
There were poll watchers in the rooms from both parties in all cases. They are there to observe that ballots are processed properly, not to actually count them or verify signatures. So being 6 feet away vs 10 feet away is not a big deal. they just made it one for political purposes.
The vast majority of the complaints are from partisan observers who are part of the campaign (mostly Trump campaign). These are different people than the local official GOP observers who were also in the room. The various party officials were on an official list and given proper credentials months before the election. The Trump observers, in a lot of cases, were given credentials from the Trump campaign, sometimes mere minutes before, with no notification to the counting stations.
The point is, that while Trump may not have had his campaign people in the room at times because of the mess and confusion they they caused with last minute credentials, no one is denying that there were GOP observers in the room throughout the entire process.
But.... these were caught and fixed... So, while there was a problem, it was identified and resolved.
Not sure what this proves other than the people responsible for monitoring the voting did their jobs.
Couldn't an electric car going for an extended off-road adventure in the Canadian wilderness just bring a generator?
You could buy something that L2 charges an EV for like $400.
Sure, lets bring a gasoline engine and gasoline to charge the EV. Second, any generator that would have enough juice to charge an EV would be large and cumbersome. You aren't talking about a small portable generator, you would need one of the large house types. At that point you may as well have an ICE vehicle.
You just roll out your emergency solar charger when you are in the boonies. RVers already do so.
First, there isn't a portable solar charger big enough to charge an EV any amount over a short period of time, or even over a day. Second, any solar charger would require sunshine. Good luck if an unexpected major storm is moving through.
There is no legitimate reason to permit ICE cars on public roads once EVs become ubiquitous and affordable, and a suitable charging network exists, parade permits aside. They can be appreciated in museums.
And I say this as someone with a perverse love of the exhaust note of a 5 cylinder diesel. It's not all about me.
Wake me up when EVs can be charged at a camp in the middle of the wilderness in Canada and/or make a "fill-up" portable. It's just not possible with the technology that we have today and I don't see it being developed in 10 years. Until then, there will be a need for ICE vehicles. It's possible that hybrids will take their place, but they are still a variant of ICE vehicles.
Most forget that there are millions of people who enjoy the outdoors and one thing that makes it possible is the portability and energy density of gasoline. I can bring a couple of 5 gallon gas cans with me if I need to. We just don't have the technology to make electricity portable and energy dense enough to charge a car.
Maybe one day we will have fusion batteries or something similar, but in 10 years? Highly unlikely....
The newer "baller" fridges makes ice balls...
What disasters?
Both Trump and Brexit were a reaction to being ruled, rather than being served by government.
Telling people they are idiots for voting for either isnâ(TM)t the solution.
FYI, government is supposed to be for the betterment of the people.
Democrats, Republicans, Labour, Tory... just different masks on the faces of rulers, not servants.
Trump was a result of decades of gerrymandering and voter naivete/complacence thinking that he could never win. I will grant you that Trump's rise to power in the Conservative party was reactionary. But his election as president says nothing about how the majority of US voters feel.
The people saying masks don't work are scientists and government ministers. Until July that is, then suddenly they changed to saying we must all wear masks, regardless of the evidence they told us about showing they don't work earlier.
Not one reputable scientist said that masks don't work. What scientists were saying is that masks don't stop you from getting the virus. What masks do is help prevent people who are infected with COVID-19 from spreading it. Especially people who don't know that they have it yet or who are carriers. This is a distinction that has been manipulated by some for political gain to say that masks don't work.
Basically, masks don't prevent you from getting the virus, but they do help reduce the spread. So, wearing a mask is about caring about the welfare of others. It's more of selfless act and one that is easy to do.
PS: When I use the term mask above, I'm taking about generic masks, buffs, and other face coverings. There are specific masks like the N-95 and other special purpose equipment that are designed in such a way that they can filter out contaminates and viruses.
That would make it 100,000 fewer deaths in the US to date
I'm not entirely sure about that.
Considering the North American continent, the death rate in Canada is roughly a 20th of that of the US, and although the US has roughly 10 times the population, the population density in Canada's most populated city is still less than half of that of New York, for example. This suggests to me that the countries respective rates may actually be comparable.
I'm not suggesting that the USA is doing well, I'm suggesting that I believe there is something endemic to North American culture whic is *NOT* unique to the USA which is allowing the virus to do its damage to both countries. Trump's response has been dismal, true... but I do not think that anything anywhere close to half of the deaths could have prevented simply if Trump had taken a more science-based attitude towards the virus early on. I'm suggesting that the fact that the virus has had about the same relative impact on the USA given its environmental conditions and cultural factors as Canada may be in spite of Trump's poor handling of the virus, not because of it.
It is human nature to want to blame someone or something when something bad happens.... but the reality is that we cannot always do this.
I'm sorry, but you are wrong. When the US has a death rate for COVID-19 that is ~2.7x of Canada, it shows that the US situation is in fact unique, and not something endemic to the North American lifestyle. In other words, for every 1x Canadian death, there are about 3x US deaths. This comes down to policy, leadership, and taking the virus seriously.
Canada has 10,000 deaths and 40,000,000 people. That means that ~1/4000 of the Canadian population has died from COVID-19.
US has 214,000 deaths and 328,000,000 people. Which means that ~1/1500 of the US population has died from COVID-19. That means that the US has a death rate of ~2.7x that of Canada.
I program, therefore I am.
