As a Canadian, this is all exotic and amazing to read about. Even the pictures are wild—so there are literally piles of crawfish and corn lying out for the guests? Toto, we are not in Kananaskis anymore.

He’s a surprisingly good actor. He had a bit part in one of the Anne of Green Gables movies playing—well—a creep, but it had to be played in such a way as to be scrupulously clean-cut due to the nature of the movie.

As Lurch of the SoCal said, the peppers do often have delicious flavours; the heat is just something that comes along for the ride if you want those flavours.

If you don’t have high blood pressure, eating more salt than recommended is not necessarily a problem. Your body dumps the excess out in your urine.

I don’t think it’s their brand of feminism either.

Well, that was a video that could have been an email.

I have given myself diarrhea eating too much spinach (home-made palak paneer), which is due to the same oxalic acid that makes rhubarb leaves potentially deadly.

Canadians are only nice because we channel all our rage into the geese.

I had the misfortune of using a public washroom like that.

There’s a restaurant near us that I’m sure is a borderline ghost restaurant. You can go in and eat, and it’s really good.

Alcohol is a carcinogen.

I agree with WandaVision being #1, but geez, I don’t understand the love for Loki.

Apparently you can make artificial diamonds in the microwave using olive-oil-soaked thread (and some other stuff; google it), but the diamond is definitely not edible afterward.

I have found that if you put water-based liquids into the dry ingredients first, things clump less.

I feel so bad for this guy. He wanted us to save our Earth so badly he was willing to sacrifice his life to force some action out of the government. He had to believe it would make a difference.

The science seems to consistently be, “All diets work about the same, so find one that works for you, and don’t do anything too extreme because it backfires in the long run.”

My tip-off for heat exhaustion was panting — breathing really shallowly and fast. The reason why it happens is your body is pumping your blood super-fast to try to get some cooling from your skin, and that leaves you breathing like you’re exercising too hard.

**fist-bump of solidarity to my fellow Rush-loving sister**

If the Republican party hadn’t had its brains eaten by people only slightly less horrible than she is, they’d matter-of-factly primary her out of existence.
