Oh yes, I’m not saying don’t season your water. Just that seasoning the water on its own is not a way to prevent pasta sticking.

Yep, I really like how he applies the scientific method to cooking. Some of my favourites are how he’s found the perfect way to boil an egg, cook steaks and roasts (dry brine, reverse sear), and make chocolate chip cookies (he made over 1500 cookies testing how changing each variable changed the final cookie).
It’s not salting your water, nor the water volume to pasta ratio, nor if the water is boiling or not, nor oil in the water, but stirring early in the cooking process that will prevent sticking.
From the great Kenji Lopez-Alt:
Pasta is made up of flour, water, and sometimes eggs. Essentially, it’s composed of starch and protein, and not much else. Now starch molecules come aggregated into large granules that resemble little water balloons. As they get heated in a moist environment, they absorb more and more water until they finally burst, releasing the starch molecules into the water. That’s why pasta always seems to stick together at the beginning of cooking—it’s the starch molecules coming out and acting as a sort of glue, binding the pieces to each other, and to the pot.
…
The problem is that first stage of cooking—the one in which starch molecules first burst and release their starch. With such a high concentration of starch right on the surface of the pasta, sticking is inevitable. However, once the starch gets rinsed away in the water, the problem is completely gone.
So the key is to stir the pasta a few times during the critical first minute or two. After that, whether the pasta is swimming in a hot tub of water or just barely covered as it is here, absolutely no sticking occurs. I was able to clean this pot with a simple rinse.
I think the context is more that this is first person Amnesty International has named as such, not the first person who could be considered more generally a prisoner of conscience.
The OP article seems to confuse this. The source article from Amnesty is more clear.
Definitely an effective way to make a political ally.
However, it’s possibly intended to be that way. Now he can tell his base that he asked the NDP to join him and they refused.
He is saying, “idk what I saw but maybe it was something,” though. He’s telling of his experience, he doesn’t say “yes, they most definitely exist”, but “I’ve experienced something that was nothing like I’d ever experienced and I know of no animal that could fit the experience I had.” Him being a very experienced bushman brings quite a bit of credibility to that statement.
He’s not challenging people on whether Saskquatch exist or not, he’s challenging whether you think the multitude of people who have had such experiences and are sharing them with others, like him, are all lying about what they’ve experienced, completely fabricating a story of something that just happens to have commonalities with stories from others across borders and generations.
I wouldn’t say he latched on. Maybe the directors commentaries provide more of that background than the actual episode, but he’d often call Todd out if he would say, matter of factly, that something was most definitely Saskquatch, and he didn’t appreciate that sort of thing when trying to make an objective, more investigative film.
At the time, I imagine Todd was one of the more available resources Les had, so at least it was somewhere to start.
Les Stroud’s (aka Survivorman) series on this is quite interesting and I think his stance on it is rather appropriate. He has no proof to confirm or deny the existence of such beings, but goes on to say that to flat out deny their existence is to call each and every one of those with stories to tell, including him, a liar.
I’d recommend anyone interested to check out his Bigfoot series. It’s all available free on youtube.
Here’s an article that’s probably most helpful. Looks like the stated prices are for base models.
An e-bike probably.
In seriousness, you’re not going to get a very valuable answer with such a broad question. They can be quite cheap, but have little range. Elaborating on what you’d want in an EV would help people provide better answers.
The American data is also not fit. A part of a reduction in firearm deaths is advancements in medical treatment for bullet injuries. The actual statistic that should be tracked is bullet injuries, which is also quite incomplete due to many PDs classifying a survived bullet injury as an assault, limiting the ability to get accurate numbers on how many bullet injuries there actually are.
Don’t big macs come in boxes?
These fools. Taxpayers are going to have to pay both the carbon tax owed plus the legal fees for all this. But, don’t worry, the lawyers are all friends of the politicians, so we must be in good hands.
If only we could have a government with a reasonable level of competence…
Technology and science are not the same thing.
Yeah, I use a hop spider and whirlfloc with the whirlpool arm to limit the solids transferred and it works quite well.
You should be able to get a bit more volume if you transfer using the pump instead of the spigot. Not a whole lot but makes a difference on the lower volume brews. You can even tilt it a bit toward the pump inlet to get the last little bit out.
The cost of doing business.
Income-based fines should really be more commonplace.
I was driving in this area on Thursday. Definitely wouldn’t recommend anything other than a truck or Subaru. Had a full inch of mud in the wheels when I got home.
And of course, as soon as you cross the MB border, nice, reasonably well maintained pavement.
You could check at the Canada Post office if you can charge their provided boxes to that account number.
Unfortunately Rogers is now the largest professional sports holding company in the world now too, with buying out Bell’s stake in MLSE. Nothing like promoting competition by allowing megacorps to keep acquiring.
