Yup. The Ford F-series trucks are the best selling car in Canada. Gotta brave those dangerous wide suburban roads to get to the rugged Walmart and haul toilet paper.

Not gonna mention the Secret Protocol in the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact that enabled the partition of Poland and the Baltics?

Or that Stalin actually fell for it all, trusted Hitler, disregarded all evidence of Nazi troop buildup until the day of Operation Barbarossa? Then Stalin spent weeks disappeared from public view.

Credit to the Soviets for defeating the Nazis. WW2 would have been lost without them. But they also acted as imperialists in reattaching Tsarist colonies to Russia, dividing Poland and the Baltics with Hitler, invading Finland, not to mention all the puppet states created postwar.

And the Soviets allied with Nazi Germany and carved up Poland with their new buddies.

That's where I got the idea from! Excellent channel.

Fun fact, adding textiles to walls for insulation is where we get the term "furring" from.

I wish awnings were more common. Such a simple way to block out midday or afternoon sun in the hot summer.

I don't know the species, and there are a few that are found in my area. One day I'll bring the field guide and figure it out.

They're all over the place here, though you have a short window of opportunity to gather the fruit before the birds go apeshit and eat it all. I've had delicious jam made from it. Quite a sweet fruit, with no bitterness or tartness, unlike a lot of other wild edibles.

This video is someone who actually drives a truck for a living, not a suburbanite who needs a lifted child slammer pickup to boost their fragile masculinity as they drive to the supermarket.

Similar story in my life but a 12-pack of Smirnoff Ice

Canada is a petrostate after all.

It's still around.

The amendment to USA's constitution that "banned" slavery did so EXCEPT as punishment for a crime.

USA also has astoundingly high incarceration rates per capita. Coincidence?

Probably as effective as any other carbon capture and storage scam.

And also the year of the Linux desktop!

No mention at all of having fewer kids? That alone has a huge impact.

Locally grown is not always the best for the environment. Eating California rice in California is worse for CO2 than Thai rice, because California rice needs more inputs. Same with growing tomatoes in a natural-gas heated greenhouse in cold climates vs. trucked in from where they grow in the field. Transportation is a very small part of the CO2 footprint of food.

Meanwhile in Trudeau's socialist nightmare, where eggs are under ~~kolkhoz~~ supply management, I pay $5.25 USD... for 18 eggs.

I found one once in a kitchen of a place I moved into. Cleaned the rust off, seasoned it, used it. When the time is right and your heart is ready, a cast iron pan will find its way to you.

Carbon steel pans are also pretty cool. You also gotta season them and care for them. But they can have thin bottoms so they heat up quickly for stir-fries etc. Traditional woks are carbon steel.

No more non-stick cookware for me. Too paranoid about PFAS.

Supersized American cars shouldn’t be a barrier to Canadians getting some great European options - Why are we banning small cars from being sold in Canada?
