For the non-British among us, Draughts (drafts) is a boxed game also known as Checkers.

This is what the internet is for!

Sunscreen sounds unmanly, but think about how you’ll feel with half your nose excised. Put it on your face especially!

Better hope that press conference room is in a truly undisclosed location!

It appears that Norway has little sea ice in territorial waters: wikipedia link. Still, they might be interested in projecting influence into the Arctic region, no?

Bravo!

Vigorous shaking mixes the thicker areas (where the sauce has settled) and the thinner (more watery) areas so they now have the same viscosity (pouring characteristics). Most importantly, this lets the mass of sauce slide cleanly down the bottle, helping the air bubble to also slide up in one unit at the same time, preventing the “air-lock” blockage at the opening. Important Note: Before vigorously shaking any container, ensure that the cap is truly secured! Now you are in control!

Meanwhile, the hopes of me and my fellow Canucks may well be dashed before the weekend barely gets started.

I have long known that plastic “recycling” in less-developed countries meant bury or burn. Now it is becoming apparent that the same applies to developed countries too. Six percent actually recycled is worse than a joke, due recyclers’ contribution to micro plastic pollution. Waste-to-energy is the only way we’ll ever get a handle on the problem. Hopefully the dioxin-like byproducts will kill fewer of us than micro plastics themselves.

The article says “Chinese forces seized two Philippine rubber boats that were delivering food and other supplies to a military outpost”. Maybe the pictured boat is the “military outpost”, but nobody who sees it wants to board it.

This report is chilling as it reasonably describes a number of disruptive events with a high probability of occurring that likely cause fundamental and detrimental changes to our way of life in Canada. The scary headline “civil war in America” is really the least of a multitude of bad things very likely coming our way.

I can well imagine that is difficult to be passionate about some installation’s heating and cooling system. But problem solving IS something that many people are passionate about. Good distinction!
