Nah, the disgusting part is the consequences of factory farming and humanity’s domination of the planet and desire for meat.

Well-done burgers are the band-aid for the deeper problems.

Dumb American disgusted by his own stupidity

lol, I love you, bro.

40 C high for Thompson-Nicola in August so far, so this bodes well for you.

I’m seeing the same thing.

Those glasses are hideous, but the Superhero Burger looks reasonable.

I love that they couldn’t get Jim Carrey to do the commercial, so they just kept him out of frame or unlit.

After doing some searching, hydration ratios matter, but also kinda don’t. Here’s a good article on the topic. You can find entirely too much information on the topic here.

By weight is pretty standard, so I’ll probably split this into 2, so we can observe the differences.

The only thing I really wanted to demonstrate with this series is that you don’t need anything more than flour and water. Since I was doing this anyways, I figured I might as well share the process and show how simple and easy it is. Also this community needs some activity!

I’m very excited to get to baking with the starter(s) when they’re ready!

Yum! That sounds deliciously malty! I’ll keep my eyes peeled next time I go shopping.

Let’s hope MLS solves some of this, but there is a certain amount of necessary complexity with syncing encryption keys for groups as people come and go.

I’m very annoyed by issues decrypting messages in private conversations. Nothing is changing, so it should just work after the first message, but no. Random messages can’t be decrypted unless I refresh. Very frustrating.

Most of my books use 1:1 by volume, and I’ve never had any issues. When baking I use the Tassajara sponge method, which is 1:1 by weight with an overnight rise before working into a dough.

I’m sure 1:1 by weight would work, too. You’ll be along for the ride, so we’ll see how it goes!

Nothing, the floozy

Sounds great!

And I think we can define the a fair win condition thusly: if timeanddate.com reports an average high for a month in BC as a whole or in any regional district greater than 50 C before October 2028, you win; otherwise I win.

The loser donates 50 CAD to a food bank of the winner’s choice.

Historic weather links that’ll be useful for checking the data (change the URL for the month & year you’re checking):

• BC
• Alberni-Clayoquot
• Capital
• Cariboo
• Central Coast
• Central Kootenay
• Central Okanagan
• Columbia-Shuswap
• Comox Valley
• Cowichan Valley
• East Kootenay
• Fraser Valley
• Kootenay Boundary
• Metro Vancouver
• Mount Waddington
• Nanaimo
• North Okanagan
• Okanagan-Similkameen
• Squamish-Lillooet
• Strathcona
• Sunshine Coast
• Thompson-Nicola

I’m referring to the “High & Low Weather Summary” table. I’m sure we’ll both just be watching to see what happens in Thompson-Nicola regional district.

This seems fair to me, because we both of pretty good odds of winning. With how extreme the weather events are getting and how rapidly things are accelerating, there’s a good chance that we could see a 5C increase in the high for Thompson-Nicola by October 2028, but maybe not, and any of the other districts could surprise us.

On Tuesday afternoon, researchers’ fears were confirmed. The pod of almost 100 long-finned pilot whales rushed to the shore, stranding themselves on Cheynes Beach near Albany, in southern Western Australia.

By Wednesday, 52 of the whales had died, the authorities said. A team of local volunteer and conservation officials managed to move the remaining 45 back into the water and attempted to herd them back out to sea, using boats and kayaks to guide them. However, that afternoon, the whales re-stranded themselves further along the beach, the authorities said. The Australia Broadcasting Corporation reported that the whales had again formed a huddle before drifting back to shore.

Lord of War is a fantastic Nicolas Cage movie!

From my understanding:

1. Buy a bank login
2. Buy a SIM swap
3. Change location w/ RDP server (I don’t fully understand this one; maybe pay to RDP into a pwned PC in the right location)
4. Find a fall guy and give him a good cut
5. Wire money to fall guy
6. Fall guy withdraws money
7. Get money from fall guy

Looks like it’d be better getting into the darknet businesses that facilitate the wire fraud. Always better to be selling pickaxes than digging for gold.

Wildfires driven by an extreme heatwave have encircled Palermo after temperatures in the Sicilian city climbed to 47C (117F) on Monday.

But while the heat stifles the south, northern regions continued to bear the brunt of bad weather caused by the arrival of cooler air from northern Europe, with more torrential rain and gales forecast in Lombardy, Trentino Alto Adige, Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia.

Giuseppe Sala, the mayor of Milan, said residents endured a sleepless night as winds exceeded 63 mph (100 km/h).

Sala said: “What we are seeing is not normal. We can no longer deny that climate change is changing our lives. We can no longer turn a blind eye, and above all, we can’t not do anything.”

The civil protection minister, Nello Musumeci, said: “Climate change is not just a contingency and Italy must realise that it now has a tropical climate. On one hand, we are paying the price of climate change, for which we should have paid more attention several years ago, and, on the other, of infrastructure that does not seem to be totally adequate for the new context.

The COP28 will certainly be interesting.

No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun - for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax - This won’t hurt.

Then the sound like someone dropped a heavy book.

Well, I can set an appointment in my calendar, if we can agree on terms. We might as well have some fun at the end of the world. 🙃

I like 5 years for timeframe (that would be end of summer 2028), and >50 C vs. ≤50 C for temperature.

I’m good for up to 100 CAD.

I’d be good with defining the measurement as monthly average high temperature for the southern half of BC, but I can’t see anywhere that does that. I feel like including the top half tips things in my favor.

timeanddate.com seems neutral and has good averages for BC as a whole. 10 years seems more fair if we’re doing the whole BC average.

What are your thoughts?

Well fuck me

EDIT: You’re actually underselling it. It hit 49.6 C

So, it pretty much already has hit 50 in BC. It’ll probably break 50 next time a heat dome hits.

Lytton really shouldn’t count when talking about BC as a whole though. I still stand by it being a couple decades before we see 50 C across large regions.

That’s a great idea! I’ll look for one next time I’m out thrifting.

I did my best
