Liberal majority with 61.4%

With this, the prospect of electoral reform seems bleak.

But it looks better than the alternative with 1% chance.

The citynew article is terrible, the university release explains things better, including highlighting the problems with the livestock industry they are trying to solve (also with the mining industry).

Who paid for this research? The cattle association?

The single cell protein (SCP) research is very old. In this specific case, it was https://www.cvictus.com/ that asked U of A to check if they could create protein with their hydrogen.

Helping the environment means ending the livestock industry and moving to a varied plant-based diet.

Humans consume a lot of SCP, people might be more comfortable with algae and fungi based, but it is not that uncommon to check the ingredient lists and see some “bacillus” in there, or Spirulina if you are into cooking.

Bacteria yield more protein per volume, but sadly, they also can create toxins and might not taste as great as algae and fungi, that also adds to the importance of those kinds of research.

A few papers down the line and these SCP can help us end the need for livestock.

“dried methanol mixed with bacteria protein”

That is not the case.

Ending cruelty is an honourable cause, and also benefits us a lot. But the way you use your words reminded me of those Republicans defunding research and aid because the wording made them uncomfortable.

Yeah, also, this citynews article is terrible. The university post explains it better.

Most of the technology used is old, they are trying to get it approved for use in cattle here in Canada. The benefits they expect are:

• there is no mining to get the hydrogen from deep coal
• methanol is now cheaper than in the 1970’s (when most of the research on this process was done - SCP is 100 years old I think), making the protein cheaper
• because of the price, it would be a better alternative to fish based or soy based feed. Less overfishing, and deforestation.

My concerns:

• the carbon is already well captured underground, they are just bringing it up without blowing up holes.
• what they will do to keep methanol cheap? There are other ways to get methanol, and one of them is deforestation.
• they also mention using the oil to get those hydrogens.
• "The leftover carbon is then captured and sequestered back underground.” I am not sure how they will keep that protein cheap if they account for the prices of that. Maybe it is cheaper than conventional ways since they are doing in well contained areas, and not busting smoke out of a car exhaust.

This citynews article is poorly written, you should keep just the university release because it explains properly what happened, why, and the benefits of the method.

These are numbers from 2016. Is there any place where we can read these contracts? Maybe with the current situation, conditions are changing. Hopefully, people put a clause in case of animosity between countries.

Thank you! I thought I would not find there, but most of my Wikipedia searches found result.

I also found this website to confirm https://www.discogs.com/

Oh yes, it is very difficult to ask someone to explain something. It is easier to go from “it is wrong to justify an invasion by fear of nukes” to “all foreign influence is evil”.

I re-read my text a few times, and I could not find anywhere saying that helping a nation build a dam, help with infrastructure or logistics projects, create economic blocs or easing bureaucracy for transit as being evil. Nice gymnastics over there to spill your warmongering propaganda.

Matrix is my favourite, and easy to use, you just need to pick a client that supports it https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/ (Element is the most common) and create an account. You can also self-host if you want more privacy/control.

Signal has a desktop client, but sadly, it still needs a phone to work.

I also use Steam chat for playing.

A more direct alternative would be

• Discord -> Revolt
• Teamspeak -> Mumble

How does the release date of the song works? There are some albums released in 2024, but I find YouTube performances in 2023.

I was going to recommend Jeremy Dutcher, but there was this grammy’s performance https://www.grammy.com/videos/jeremy-dutcher-pomawsuwinuwok-wonakiyawolotuwok-performance-global-spin

I am not sure if it counts as an international hit. Edit: Nevermind, found a video in 2023 with that song.

How do I check the song release date? I saw some albums being released in 2024, but there is a YouTube video of the song in 2023

disingenuous

Lol, you want to debate, but you had to invent arguments and assign them to me. This is ridiculous and you are very dishonest.

My text has several points, none of them you addressed and just insisted on spilling around your warmongering.

Even when we seem to agree that gov spending should be focused on something else than warfare - I find ironic your conclusions, “Russia started a war, and it was used to provoke war on Russia”.

I deny this, but examples?

You know which ones, do not play coy

I feel like you don’t really care what people write, you just use whatever to defend war, either that or your LLM/Call center script is broken.

Ah, yes, the old WMD excuse for economical gain USA used often.

Weird how this “fear of nukes” did not lead to the invasion of Finland when you were attacking Georgia and Ukraine. After sanctions, embargos, and other CIA-like activities, Russia did to them for years.

I find it disingenuous that you justify those actions as ok, just because USA did the same abhorrent things.

Before the “react” you write fervidly about, NATO was mostly done for, Finland and Sweden were happy and neutral. Germany was averse to military spending. Only the USA was dragging its allies to endless wars and forcing them to spend more. With the invasions, the list of applicants increased, and all the countries are happy using more of the GDP for warfare.

Maybe the deals done in closed doors are too complex for me to grasp their benefits, but none of them justify the killing of innocents.

For an anti-war community, you seem to promote war constantly. You have been defending the USA actions lately, you might want to update the description on that too.

It seems they updated the headline to “Trump, Vance shout at Zelenskyy in heated Oval Office meeting”.

I hope readers put some pressure on them, CBC is always on their high horse talking about journalism integrity, but quite often they forget to follow their rules.

They have another segment on “world leaders’ response”, but there is no “world” there, safe from Trudeau’s and Russian ex-president’s twitter, it was just American legislative voices being boosted, mostly Republicans.

Adding to what other people already said

• For used stuff, https://www.kijiji.ca/
• DDR3 and SSD are still available around. (But I find it difficult to get Timetec and Patriot cheap outside Amazon - might be worth checking pcpartpicker)
• Old cables parts: check for small repair shops in your region, give them a call, they might have a box with cables.

And compare the prices with AliExpress. Occasionally, I find better prices here in Canada, but for cables, screws, filters, sadly importing is way cheaper. I think people buy in bulk from China and sell for 4X~10x more online here.

I don’t know if you have tools and spare parts, but power cables are easy to fix if you follow the pin order and cable requirements.

Also, on FB market, or kijiji, post what you are looking for. People might have, but did not know there was interest.

I’m not sure if it is because of where I am living now, but +25 years ago there would be a whole neighbourhood of no brand tech stores, it was effortless to find old tech or next-generation consoles.

Canada is frail with local resellers, from the ones I had good experience with, Mike’s closed, Canada Computers had data leak and price gouging in the recent history. All my interactions with Memory Express were awful, online or in person. I should have stopped after 3 times, but someone always says “they are better now”, shame on me. I have yet to try vuugo, pc-canada and shoprbc…

There are also some small niche stores, but they sell custom-made stuff, cables with different colours, or parachute chord sleeves. But then you will pay the price of your full cart on a single cable.

There was demo available back in 2020~2021, did they add anything new, or is it different stuff?

Not sure if it is a scam, like people are claiming (on the post, and steam reviews). I feel like it is more like a lack of experience and knowledge in the game business than any intentional wrongdoing.

There are definitely problems with the game, and the pace of updates and fixes has been lacking since it first appeared on Steam.

After watching the dev Stream in 2023, it seems like he loves what he is doing and probably will see this through, but he really struggles with basic concepts of game making - that might have changed since then.

During a programming session, he was asking everything to an AI chatbot and copying the result into the code, then suffering for a while back and fort with the bot because the code did not work as he intended, while the chat was sending the documentation page of the engine and other help that would have solved his issues.

Yes, they released it as a DLC. Escape from Pork Belly.

Nowadays, I think it means “agreeable”. “I agree with this”.

It is a term that changed a lot in such a short time. I remember it was a way to call a drug addict, like crackhead/basehead. Then it changed to call people talking nonsense, like they were on crack.

I imagine, at some point, someone agreed with the crackhead talk and read some comment of the nonsense being called “based”.

I agree, and I am glad we are on the same page.

I just think it is important to highlight missing key-points, that people often misunderstand and can misconstrue, like the devs and lawyers from the now class action from the post. So it is important to clarify to prevent further misinformation.

• Steam does not care how much you sell keys for different platforms(e.g. GOG, Epic), just Steam Keys (i.e. keys for the Steam platform).
• And when you sell Steam Keys in different stores, you need to give Steam Store Customers comparable, but not necessarily at the same time or same price.

If you check the historical low on “is there any deal”, often stores have games with historical low lower than Steam’s historical low. From what I saw, the prices are usually around 10%~12% lower.

Technically, you can sell Steam Keys for less. But if you sell Steam Keys somewhere else for cheaper, you need to plan giving Steam Customers the same opportunity at some point.

Steam Key Rules and Guidelines https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/keys

I bought Steam Keys for cheaper in different stores, like Humble Bundle. I also got Steam Keys for free from devs/publisher (events, giveaway, press).

And If you don’t mind Steam Keys, you can buy games from GOG or Epic and the price is not always the same as Steam.

You can compare prices in “is there any deal”, they only allow authorized vendors. https://isthereanydeal.com/game/shadows-of-doubt/info/ You can see how the base price of Steam Keys are very similar, but the discount changes from vendors.
