We were invited friends house for dinner last night. My wife brought potato salad. I like lots of eggs in my potato salad. We had a couple of dozen duck what in the fridge so my wife boiled up a dozen and added them. It's about half by volume hard boiled duck eggs and it's delicious.
Pork, rice, onions and herbs rolled in Savoy cabbage leaves and poached in tomato juice.
I vacuum sealed them individually for the freezer.
I do a lot of soldering and for the last few years have been using SMD components. Up until recently I was buying short pieces of tape with a few dozens or a hundred components. The amount that I do has really increased and running our of components began to irritate me so I started buying them on commercial rolls of 4,000 or 5,000 components.
The full rolls are unwieldy so what I really wanted was a cartridge that was small enough to have a bunch of them in a drawer or plastic storage box but big enough to hold a fair number of components.
So...I designed this.
It's 60mm x 60mm x 11mm and is designed to dispense standard 8mm x 1mm component tape. I've got other versions for wider and thicker tape. It will hold a good 2m or tape which is around 1,300 components. The paper tape with the components comes out the straight slot while the clear plastic cover tape turns back out of the curved slot. The little tab holds the cover tape back so it doesn't get in your way. The splitter between the straight slot and the curved slot keeps the components from falling out until the tape emerges from the straight slot.
I think that the coolest feature of this design is the holes around the corners of the cartridge. They allow you to gang cartridges together into stacks using standard LEGO Technics connector pins. The cover also uses connector pin like projections to attach to the cartridge. With the cartridge being only 11mm thick you can't put two pins end to end so I needed two holes so that the pins in adjacent connections can alternate which hole they use. On 16mm and wider cartridges I could have used a single hole but will keep the two holes for compatibility with the narrower cartridges.
This is a rough prototype to test the fit of the tape. It seems to work quite well.
Swinging to the extreme right is not a winning strategy in Canada.
You only have to look as far as is going on in the US house of representatives to know the chaos a few extremists can cause. They will never be satisfied until the province is a christofascist dictatorship.
"Our peer presure is good because we tell you it's ok to fear and hate but their societal pressure to be a better person is bad for making you feel bad about yourself."
The Candian government has done this for years. Drug prices in Canada are often a fraction of what they cost in the US.
The drug companies swore that they would stop selling drugs in Canada if they weren't allowed to set prices in Canada as high at possible buy they're so fucking greedy that they will take $5 of profit instead of $1,000 and instead of withdrawing from the market and making $0.
I've asked this question several times.
Name one drag queen who has ever been convicted of grooming and sexually abusing children.
I said to someone once, "There are branches of several international organizations in town that have a centuries old well documented history of grooming and sexually abusing millions of children worldwide then hiding the abuse and moving the abusers to other locations so that they can continue to groom and sexually abuse children. These are the same organizations that are telling you that drag queens are the problem. Why aren't you protesting them? "
Be very careful when travelling to Canada to murder Canadian citizens on Canadian soil.
If you come to Ottawa and commit crimes in Ottawa you should be tried in Ottawa.
If you want to be tried in Upper Rubber Boot, Alberskatchetoba then do your crimes there.
(Before some pedant comes in and points out that he's from Ontario and not Upper Rubber Boot, Alberskatchetoba, I know.)
You should not be able to travel somewhere, commit crimes, then expect to be tried somewhere else where you will get a more sympathetic jury.
Your free speech rights don't apply to making political speeches on WestJet airplains you tool.
“Our operating procedures were not followed correctly in this instance,” the airline said in a statement. “This includes apologizing to these customers, as they clearly did not receive the standard of care to which they were entitled.”
They received the standard of care that we have all come to expect from Air Canada.
Air Canada isn't an airline. Air Canada's main line of business is extracting tax breaks and subsidies from the federal government. It just pretends to be an airline to do that. It is very clear to anyone who has flown with Air Canada that they view their customers at an inconvenience.
That's substantially more than my mortgage payment.
Nope. That's why the courts allow transplant coordinators to require that you be vaccinated. This vaccine was so incredibly safe that it's ridiculous that she chose to die rather than getting it. I mean, literally the worst thing that could have happened to her because she got the vaccine happened to her because she didn't get the vaccine.
Yup. The courts have long held that being vaccinated can be a requirement of getting an organ transplant. Organs are hard to come by and they should go to the people who are going to listen to their doctor and do what needs to be done to keep that organ alive for a long time. If not, it should go to someone who will.
Except women. They will never guarantee bodily autonomy for women. Also gays and trans people.
In fact, when he says, "all Candians" he means, "all white, Christian straight and closeted wealthy cis men."
