Sidewalk plough driver thought there should be a sidewalk here. I concur.

@evan I did yes but because I have no idea what you mean by "reverse engineer". If you are going to the restaurant several times to order said dish and figure it out based on taste, sure go ahead. But if you're doing more complicated things like tracking down previous employees and asking them, well that's another matter. Typically at home you're not trying to replicate restaurant dishes exactly, you're just trying to get close but easier/healthier. Less butter, salt etc than restaurants use. I imagine chefs try to replicate restaurant meals all the time, but then improve them or make them their own.

@johnefrancis @evan I got both. I wonder what percentage got both?

@evan @WheresMyWater I like how the video shows one tortilla but the description says two. Perfect for your poll!

@chris Good luck, allergies are miserable!

@chris Ugh. Well, hopefully either you or the shots have changed enough for them to work for you this time if you do try.

@chris Can you get allergy shots for it?

James Nicholson? Is Jack a nepo baby?

Yay! Cool enough for a run! Well a run/walk. Well, ok, a run/walk/limp as my knee didn't appreciate it, but there was running and it isn't hot 🎆

@WTL @mariellequinton I'm curious about the people who wear hard pants 100% of the time. Running in jeans? Weightlifting in cargo pants? Yoga in work trousers?

@evan @mayintoronto But the fabric is bamboo. I'm guessing they buy the fabric from China and cut and sew it here. Even when it's knit or woven here it's usually from imported cotton etc. We lost most of our processing plants/mills and knowledge. It's going to take a long time to get it back, but we can't grow cotton here. So, my point is just clothing is hard.

@evan It's not a fight. It's just people are weirdly emotionally connected to food. I'm not sure how we go about getting people to actively change their eating habits.

@evan Yes, trendy food, which also leads to food waste, but that's short term and also isn't about giving stuff up. Mostly people will do small changes, not large ones like cutting out meat and dairy.

@evan Clothing is hard. Or at least the fabric is. What can we grow in Canada? Wool, hemp, flax. Maybe tencel from wood pulp. But we don't really have the mills or even knowledge for any of that now, except wool and I'm not even sure we can make high quality wool fabric.

@mayintoronto What is the fabric made from?

@evan People are extremely unlikely to change the way they eat. We all know giving up meat and dairy would be a huge benefit to the environment, but what percentage of people actually does that?

I want to see tariffs on Tesla and Starlink
