  • Yeah, Ontario is about 40% of Canada’s economy and it’s population, and also produces an absolute shitload of energy via hydro and nuclear that gets exported to the US. Given that DoFO is the premier of Ontario, and thus “in charge” of 40% of Canada, it’s something to take a little seriously even if he’s a complete moron.

    Also, keep in mind that the US gets a fantastic deal on this energy because we tend to overproduce and it has to go somewhere or else we would be forced to spin down a bunch of baseload nuclear, which would cost a fortune to bring back online. There has been times where we’ve ‘sold’ it at a negative cost because it would be more expensive to produce less.







  • Do you think this is satirizing homelessness? Might want to look at the picture again. This is satirizing an ad campaign by PETA (which, if you’ve been living under a rock for decades, stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), and the ad campaign is to encourage people to let their pets sleep indoors. It has nothing to do with homeless people. Also, the satire in this case is valid, because PETA doesn’t give a flying fuck about treating animals ethically, they have a long history of stealing peoples pets and immediately euthanizing them.

    Finally if you want to make yogurt or cream cheese, you want to work of raw milk because it contains the fermenting bacteria, but that is more of a niche application.

    If you’re going to make anything from milk that requires bacterial cultures and the conditions under which they will grow, you absolutely do not want whatever random cultures that are in a raw product. You start clean and add the cultures you want to propagate. Source: ferments things at home

    Homebrewer here, they generally don’t die, they just go dormant. It’s quite normal to harvest yeast at the end of fermentation, to the point where many breweries do so to save money. You can even use the harvested yeast to make bread with (which is how bread used to be made)







  • Also as far as cooking hardware, glass-top stoves are very difficult to start fires on, and induction cooktops are even more, at least for stuff like boilovers and spilled food.

    I’d also suggest taking some sort of cooking class, many community colleges have classes that you can take at night, and there are several businesses that offer classes as well. Getting used to the tools and techniques in a supervised environment can go a long way for confidence at home.
