Nenshi was a good mayor. Moreover he is a human being, or appears to be (politicians are always suspect).

Ya. Water stones, imo, demand quality.

However, you can get a hunting knife razor sharp using that crappy little grey stone that came with it, and some spit.

Waaay nicer using quality though.

I have a 1000 and a 4000 in fine water stones.

I have a decent strop. I have a decent steel.

Once the edge is on it, this is all I need.

Note, I also have some very coarse stones and some finer grits as well. I use them to either change the edge in a knife entirely, or you know? Get crazy sharp sometimes with a polished fine edge. Getting crazy sharp never lasts in the kitchen for long though. I’m talking my crazy, everyone thinks my knives are normally razors anyway and I rarely go higher than 4000 grit.

The people buying and selling, and stealing your data.

IIRC, analysts say he is of the position that, “The world will only exist where Russia continues to be a ‘Superpower Nation’”. Or WTTE.

This man has shown us what he intends to do, for years!

People who have devoted their careers to understanding this man will tell you.

We used to make “Whore’s Martinis”.

Same as a regular one, you just hand pour over a single cube of ice and toss in an olive, onion, lemon, whatever. Sour with your finger and go. No straining, no stir stick, no measuring, one cube of ice.

Not just ON

“Everybody knows our chairman (Galen Weston),” he said.”

Yeah, you’re right. We do know that piece of shit.

Meanwhile, in Canada:

Repeated security audits at major airports such as YYZ show repeated and regular occurrences of airside staff not getting screened for weeks at a time.

Essentially, many airside staff don’t get screened much, but passengers get the Theatre. Recommendations from repeated audits to change this did nothing.

CBC has a whole piece on it. Once post 911, and again years later (nothing changed).

So many holes in airport security, it’s ridiculous when compared to the passengers’ routine denigrations.

Do you mean all the worry and fear mongering was bullshit?

Huh, almost as if pot smokers were right about how benign the stuff is…

Meh, Elton John did this with an oven manual…. On the spot.

It’s just business, nothing personal.

At the end, …it’s all personal.

I swear nobody got that. People say that line and I’m like ‘Well, fuck you very much if you read the book’.

Lol. By then it will be done for us, unwillingly.

Now, a few minutes before using the sauce, add a tablespoon of white vinegar.

2/3 Hot sauce

1/3 butter

Dash of garlic powder

Heat/warm on stovetop,

Good splash of white vinegar.

Good to go.

I applied in Canada to a Law Enforcement program with a past-secondary institution.

I was told by a VERY senior member of the force (family friend) that I was simply too smart for the rank and file and was consequently turned down. He said “…they don’t want people who will think for themselves and question their orders. The whole point is to have force who will follow the rules without question. You don’t fit that mold”. The “rules” in this case is really just the police culture, and status quo.

The man who told me this, rose to Police Chief of a Major Canadian city from uniformed officer. Retired now.

I believe him.

Dumb soldiers who apply force when told. That’s what they want, …mostly.

What’s the metrics?

Learn from this; make this loss a sacrifice for your success!

Ahhh, yes “Policy Makers”, AKA “They”, aka “Someone”, … those guys.

Policies and Government regulations, decision making, ungh, it’s so nebulous getting to something actually measurable and effective.

I’m so checked out…

If Ontario’s health care system collapses, so does the rest of Canada’s.

Welcome to USA-style healthcare!

Sad.
