TIL, so thanks for that. I looked it up on wikipedia and it said “It also can be made by boiling, steaming, pressure cooking, or microwaving pulses in water.”

The liquid in your can of chickpeas is called aquafaba: it’s super-starchy and foams up quickly. I’ve used it to make mayo.

No offense, but your question is really confusing. I don’t understand what her resignation has to do with the former supply-and-confidence agreement the Liberals had with the NDP.

ftr - There was never a coalition government and the NDP ended the supply-and-confidence agreement in September.

The right wing in North America flooded news stories and social media spaces with the talking point that the NDP and Liberals working together to accomplish government-related work was a “coalition government” (which they framed as a horrible undemocratic thing), but the NDP-Liberal supply-and-confidence agreement was in place to get Canadians the beginnings of dental care, affordable housing funding for municipalities, daycare, sick days for federally-regulated workplaces, etc.

But if one kisses up juuuuust right, one might get an invite to winter at a cottage or manse in the private communities ones betters build for themselves. I hear they’re so genteel, you never even see The Help concierge services.

When fines are “the cost of doing business.”

Talking point bots will blame Trudeau for this.

Testify. I listen to the radio a lot and it’s been high volume election campaign-level advertising for so. fucking. long. Every commercial makes me think of Doug and Rob’s news1010 radio show “Ford Nation” and that slimy “Ontario News Now” invention he used to get around journalists. Insta-rage every time.

My neighbour’s an educator, and she was telling me all through June - August '22 that government reps were fucking with her union, not showing up for negotiating, or showing up insultingly late, staying long enough to say No and then leaving. Meanwhile the ads in August were “We pay Educators lots of money and they’re very happy! We’re putting your kids back in classrooms and giving them an education!” Now we know they were just busy constructing bill 28 which took away the union’s right to strike.

His ads were always annoying and insulting. But that whole production woke me up.

Same. I still choose to believe that not using Google as a verb makes a dent in the behemoth. Usually gets a curious reply like “what, like Bing?”

Maybe move your savings to a good local credit union if that’s an option for you.

Amen

How much of our public funds have DoFo and Co spent on court battles against us, I wonder? From cancelling windmill projects to tearing out bike lanes. The mind boggles…

Like the money spent defending his right to cut Toronto’s reps from 47 people to 25 in the middle of a municipal election. Or their right to violate the province’s Environmental Bill of Rights with that covid recovery bill. I know he publicly budgeted $30M of our money just to fight (and lose) against the carbon pricing program.

-Paid for by the government of Ontario (doo-dee-dee-doo)

Do you assume these scientists are fearful anti-intellectuals, like a gaggle of Covidiots or something? If you read the article, you’ll find that

The expert group includes Dr Craig Venter, the US scientist who led the private effort to sequence the human genome in the 1990s, and the Nobel laureates Prof Greg Winter at the University of Cambridge and Prof Jack Szostak at the University of Chicago.

These aren’t idiots, and their call came from a risk assessment performed by experts in their fields.

While enthusiastic about research on mirror molecules, the report sees substantial risks in mirror microbes and calls for a global debate on the work. link to the 299-page report

Beyond causing lethal infections, the researchers doubt the microbes could be safely contained or kept in check by natural competitors and predators.

…

Dr Kate Adamala, a synthetic biologist at the University of Minnesota and co-author on the report, was working towards a mirror cell but changed tack last year after studying the risks in detail.

“We should not be making mirror life,” she said. “We have time for the conversation. And that’s what we were trying to do with this paper, to start a global conversation.”

Right? Ballot boxes set on fire, a former president outright saying he’d punish people who voted against him, his supporters repeatedly declaring Harris voters would pay, decades of gerrymandering to give rich folk more political weight, police stationed around polling locations (proven to deter voters), increasingly mundane daily threats of stochastic terrorism, rightwing-owned mass media pushing Both Sides discourse, increasing documentation requirements, disenfranchising felons, jailing voters for following bad advice from poll workers, magats and other white supremacists threatening people lining up to vote, an intensive blanket campaign to convince people that voting for a black woman means you’re not bothered if more Palestinians die, and bomb threats against polling stations on election day.

None of those things were issues they cared about.

Like the hundreds of thousands of untested rape kits that piled up over the decades.

Boxes about the size of a hardcover book each held evidence of a reported sexual assault – dried swabs of saliva and semen and blood, strands of hair, debris scraped from under fingernails. Each was collected from a person, most of them women and girls, during an hours long exam. And each was shelved without being processed for DNA. The evidence crowded storerooms, tangible proof of law enforcement’s failure to support victims and hold rapists accountable.

Testing the kits was supposed to be the first step in righting that wrong. In some places that received federal grants, not even that happened.

At least a dozen grant recipients carved out exceptions to testing, leaving kits unprocessed for a second time. In one California county, officials boasted they had cleared their backlog, but only after deeming more than half of their kits ineligible for testing.

In many cases, officials have done little beyond sending the kits to a lab, reviewing the results and again closing the files. In Maryland, according to a state report, some law enforcement agencies have shown “significant reluctance” to reopen investigations and have even stated outright that they are disregarding DNA matches.

What’s more, some officials all but abandoned the idea of providing victims answers about what happened to their rape kits or apologies for how long testing took. One Kansas police agency has tried to reach just 17 victims from roughly 1,100 sexual assault kits. An official there said there are instances where DNA testing has identified the names of suspects for the first time but the victims have not been told, because officials don’t think their cases can be prosecuted.

Friendship with Village People’s YMCA is over. Chappell Roan’s Hot to Go is my new best friend.

To add to your “for the benefit of others” explanation, this is also not a historical relic. It’s still happening.

I work with refugees and a lot of women escaping fundie warzones are living with variations of this nightmare. So much mutilation, as little girls, preteens, post-giving-birth… Infections are common, tearing is common, and sex is torture. I’ve been doing this job long enough that I recognize the walk.

You know that old saying, “every accusation is a confession”? When conservatives all over the world started getting hysterical about the WEF, I think what we all needed to be looking at was the IDU.

Skippy the oppositional attack puppy is against everything, including a functional Canadian government. Rotten little twit.

Same. “Affordable housing” used to be a straight up mathematical equation based mostly on income afaik. The Provincial government shifted to using the phrase “more affordable,” a nebulous non-definition that could mean anything from “yes, a single parent working a full time job can afford rent” to “it’s less than the million dollar condo down the hall.” As you say, the key is we don’t know atm. Add to that, will the city be capable of maintaining affordability after the Province has nuked rent control? Can we keep these units from being thousands of dollars 2 years after the doors open?

I posted in part because this project is something to keep an eye on. At the very least, this and the development at 5207 Dundas St. W. will teach us a lot about how our municipalities can get anything done these days. Also, Chow knows what she’s doing, which is strange and refreshing.

No jumping for joy here either. Just watching and staying hopeful.
