So the developers of PC games like Claire Obscure: Expedition 33, which doesn’t have a Switch version of any kinda, spent time, effort and money to optimize specifically for the Steam Deck… because of the Switch’s market share? Cmon now bud, that’s a straight up ridiculous take.
Personhood for some, tiny American flags for others!
That’s not pure gelatin though. It’s a mix of gelatin from the breakdown of proteins, and juices from the chicken. Great for your cat without a doubt, and absolutely worth putting in home made soups or stews, but not something you’d want to use to make a wobbly dessert! Getting pure gelatin (i.e. all broken down peptides and virtually no remaining muscle protein) takes either days of careful boiling and straining, or a controlled industrial-chemical process. Gelatin was a fancy-chef ingredient when it took days in the kitchen to produce it with relative purity, but now you can buy Jell-O powder with pocket change because we make gelatin at scale using an industrial process.
I don’t think you can get pure gelatin from animal sources without losing the meat flavour. Gelatin from animal sources is made by a process involving hydrolyzation, which breaks down the muscle proteins into pepides. The proteins in meat are the main reason for its identifiable flavour. The broken down peptides in gelatin don’t taste like anything. If the gelatin still tasted like meat it would indicate that the gelatin extraction process was incomplete.
Even if it was possible to do some kind of half-assed gelatin extraction process that preserved some of the animal flavour, there’s no market for that. People who buy gelatin expect it to be flavourless, so they can use it in their recipes without the gelatin affecting the taste. Gelatin is used to provide a thick and, well, gelatinous texture. If someone’s making a recipe involving gelatin that’s supposed to taste meaty, they’re gonna use their own animal products (i.e. meat and/or meat-based stock).
32c/kWh seems straight up insane to me. Peak rates are half that where I live (around 15c/kWh), and overnight rates are a third (around 10c). These aren’t even the cheapest rates to be found in North America. Pretty sure that nod goes to Quebec, where they pay less than 7c/kWh for the first 40kWh each month, and 10c/kWh beyond that.
Holy shit, I didn’t even notice the multiple abominations with electrical connections in that picture, I was mesmerized by the plumbing madness.
Be lucky if we get out of this with only a recession. The slogan might as well have been Make America Great Depression Again.
Canadians have two moods. The first is “I’m sorry”, the second is “You’ll be sorry.”
Second mood activated.
We need a pithy, demeaning nickname to sum this up, something that’ll really get under his thin skin. I’ll suggest PINO, “President In Name Only.” Open to suggestions tho!
As a Canadian, I’m all for targeting red states where possible but I fully expect the blow back to hit all Americans. Tariffs are a relatively blunt instrument. If we put a 25% tariff on softwood lumber for example, I don’t think we get to say that only purchasers in red states have to pay it. Every American purchaser has to pay an extra 25% for those 2x4s, or car parts, or potash, or crude oil, or electricity, or aluminum, or steel, or raw minerals. Those purchasers will inevitably download that cost onto their customers, which means that ultimately American consumers collectively are going to foot the bill.
Some of these Canadian response measures will even come back to harm Canadians! There are plenty of instances where Canadian companies sell raw materials to US companies and then Canadian consumers buy back finished products that incorporate some of those materials. As such, some of the added cost of Canadian tariffs is going to be paid by Canadian consumers. Regular citizens on both sides of the border are in the some boat, and Trump put us there with his stupid, stupid choice. Canadian or American, we would all do well to remember that because I’m sure that Trump would love nothing more than to see us divided and hating one another.
I’m sorry for the economic damage that this fight is going to cause all of us, on both sides of the border. Please remember that Trump started this fight, and Canada will not roll over. I think Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney summed it up best in this BBC interview. The whole interview is worth a watch, but the link goes to the highlight to which I’m referring. Here’s the transcript of that highlight:
Interviewer: It’s pretty clear that [Trump] thinks [Canada] can be pushed around.
Carney: We can’t.
Now it’s just the Center for Disease.
No, the opposite actually! Any amount of exercise will help with GI motility, but intense exercise causes the digestive system to slow down (source).
None of the above. The correct answer is walking. Moving around helps kickstart the GI tract.
I don’t believe it actually does grow back faster, it just seems that way. The first inch or so gives the impression of growing back faster because the hairs are thicker at the base so they’re more visible and less prone to breakage.
Is there any benefit at all
Maybe! There’s at least some scientific evidence that chemical compounds in mushrooms can have medicinal effects.
Bias disclaimer: I put a lion’s mane mushroom tincture in my morning tea because it may have a neuroprotective effect (source). My father’s father had dementia, my father is currently in a home with profound dementia, the chances it’s going to happen to me are very high. It’ll be years before I know whether lion’s mane mushroom will do anything for me (and even then you couldn’t claim anything from one data point), but I’m willing to try anything as long as it’s affordable and has at least some plausible evidence behind it. This isn’t the only thing I’m doing of course, I’ve also overhauled my diet (MIND diet) and lost 30 pounds (obesity is correlated with dementia).
why can’t you make it your self by pulverizing dried mushrooms of the same variety they use into powder and making the coffee yourself?
You absolutely could. Or, you know, just eat some of the same mushrooms. The benefit to dried products like Ryze, or tinctures like the one I use, are that they’re convenient, easily transportable and self-stable. I’ve cooked up fresh lion’s mane mushrooms several times, but not super often because they’re not in many stores in my area and tend to be pricey for the amount you get. I’ve also grown my own from a kit but that takes significant time and a little bit of daily attention to maintain optimal growing conditions. The tincture is convenient and relatively affordable as far as daily supplements go.

We suspect the impact is due to a database infrastructure related change that we are working on rolling back.

MinuteCast from AccuWeather does exactly this. It looks at your location, looks at radar data for storm systems approaching your location, and estimates when precipitation will start at your location and how intense it will be. It’s generally pretty accurate, with some limitations. It seems to be pretty good for consistent rainstorms but it can get tripped up by pop-up thunderstorms, where the radar track can go suddenly from no rain to downpour. It doesn’t make predictions more then 2-3 hours out because past that timeframe it’s not easy to predict if weather will continue on its current track or change direction. Even with the limitations, I use it all the time. Mostly to tell if I should take the dogs out right away, or if I should wait an hour or two.
Because the toxins your body is reacting to are already in your bloodstream. It’ll take time for those to get metabolized by your liver, and how much or little you vomit won’t change how much work your liver has to do.
He was a raging alcoholic who hid his illness from the medical professionals who examined him as part of his Super Size Me “experiment.” A lifetime of booze did way more damage than 30 days of McDs possibly could.
This, and also maybe oil.
