The other thing I'm surprised people (by which I mean makers of youtube videos) seem to worry overmuch about is feeding the starter. Everyone gets out the scale and has some view on ratios - 20g flour to 35.23g water or whatever. Put a

The only thing that's tough is the timing. It's gotta sit for an hour before slicing, which means if it's to be ready for school lunches it has to go in the oven at 5:30.

On the other hand, the news coverage by the CBC is hampering efforts by the Murdoch empire and Post Media to align Canadian sentiments with MAGA, and that is obviously unacceptable.

Indiscriminate means at random or without judgement. The comment you're arguing with clearly (and cleverly) said the cuts are not random. As one data point, I did not read the comment as contradicting anything, but as agreeing and expa

What would you call the political culture that has replaced it?

What does this mean? You sound pleased the administration is doing things like this.

As an outsider looking in, no. The democrats seem as likely to choke down on speech, but it tends to be speech that represses others. The republicans choke down on speech that contradicts their vision of society or their personal moral comp

For me, it was the assertion of presidential immunity that lost my trust.

Many Americans think public healthcare competes with private hospitals and insurance companies. A criticism of public education in the beginning was that it would put (private) schools out of business. All we're talking about here is w

Europe re-arming is a side effect of Trump signalling he will not defend them against Russia.

The only path to believing this is to accept Trump communications exclusively. The entire Trump ecosystem is now prohibited from saying that Russia invaded Ukraine. Reality plays no role in any of these narratives. Trump may or may not be a

He has already ceded the two greatest Russian demands re: Ukraine, without a negotiating table even being set up yet. Why did he do that?

The US is the only western country that doesn't have provisions to suspend elections during wartime. Bully on you, you're awesome. But it doesn't make France, Germany, Canada, the UK, Italy, Spain etc. dictatorships because t

You elected a mad king who is intent on tearing down the alliances that have made the US prosper over the last 80 years. I don't think your parent is the one who is brainwashed. Embracing tyranny is only "courageous free thinking&

Yes. Why would you think otherwise? Even the leader of the opposition says the current situation is the only legal scenario.

Why do you think complete surrender is better than continuing to struggle?

I'll be delighted to be wrong. It's a low-probability, high impact event, but America has elected a Mad King, and many of us are preparing.

The odds might be low, but they are substantially larger than zero. Most people I know are preparing in some way by offshoring what money they have, researching places of refuge, etc. The path to violence is: * imposition of punitive tariff

I'm sorry for the chaos you're going through in America, but as a Canadian, every day of internal chaos is one fewer day I have to worry about your soldiers killing my children.
