Had to look that up (as usual.) That looks like a lot of fun to make and a pleasure to eat. Enjoy.

Misinformation about violence by transgender people is so rife that it literally has its own Wikipedia page, which includes actual stats with actual sources.

Don’t give in to the politics of disinformation and hate. It only makes things worse.

Initially I read it as "chocolate factory" and not "satellite factory." And you know what, it fits just as well....

Jason Kenney had a pretty good statement on Xitter:

The status quo is going to be maintained as long as the current administration exists south of the border. Right now it's hard to imagine a Liberal misstep that would jump to the top of the headlines and improve Conservative chances, given the steady stream of BS flowing from the Trump camp.

Canadians, here's a petition for you to sign.

Read it. Then scroll down to the MP who is backing it.

And then, once you stop laughing, gleefully sign it.

As an engineering consultant I had to get clearance checks to do work in an agricultural research facility. Pollievre thinks he can aspire for the highest elected position in the country and skate on this? I think not.

From the Wikipedia article you sourced it looks tasty! Again πŸ™ for adding to the rather large amount of trivia I carry in my brain pain. If only i could get help finding the car keys or my wallet or my glasses. 🀣

Help me. What is this? Sorry, I’m sure I could Google it but I’d still have to do some tunnelling to get to the answer.

A sixth basic taste for the tongue? In addition to sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami, the tongue might also detect ammonium chloride as a basic taste, say neuroscientists

Apparently candles are a flavour c. f. dornsife.usc.edu/news/stories...

What isn’t a flavour? Everything has some sort of taste - except a perfect vacuum perhaps.

I don’t think so. In fact, I had to look Bakewell Tart up - that’s pretty strong evidence against . After some thought I believe I was making Marzipan for a Christmas loaf. Surprisingly easy and surprisingly tasty. The tart looks fun though.
