Interesting here in Canada we call it Donair and it's made from spiced meat. Lamb, beef or chicken. Then there is tzatziki sauce or garlic and hummus, and pickled vegetables as well as regular ones.

We also claim to have invented it, the "Halifax Donair" yet it's sure similar to Turkish shawarma and Greek gyros...

Indeed he is a known coward, which is why getting someone to shoot at him and miss is absolutely off brand for him. The risk is way too high.

I hunt and shoot long range and I would trust myself to hit the head at that range, but not a chance on the ear. Even wind is too great a factor and the potential for an accidental fatality is just way too high.

I don't consider myself a coward and there's no way I'd set up this shot. It's Russian roulette.

Add the NewPipe repo to your Fdroid client, I just installed it from there a minute ago.

Much respect to the NewPipe team thanks for all your hard work

This is a ridiculous viewpoint, the Democrats are a center right party. Here in Canada they would be considered conservative.

He supports healthcare and workers' rights, he's a Democrat.

Or at this point the Republicans are so cracked that straight up "if he doesn't support Project 2025, he's a Democrat"

Been using one of these apps to try to identify the many wild plants in my native pastures. Mostly just out of curiosity and conservation. Likewise it helped identify some trees and shrubs the previous owner planted around the yard.

They are far from perfect but are a good starting point as you get lots of pictures to compare to your mystery tree, you finish the job yourself.

You can also swim at the pool, that sounds like fun

Well nuts I was considering Ireland as a nice place to flee Canada for. Shame to hear that they're doing the same to you. I know there's a demographic issue but I don't see why they couldn't have made the countries livable enough that the people living there could afford to have children, instead of importing people en masse from regions with little education.

We are just creating another demographic problem anyways as at least here all of our migrants are suspiciously young working age men. We don't see many families "fleeing regions in conflict" which seems very odd, doesn't it.

Well he did say "I'll be back" but so far has failed to deliver. People have been waiting literally forever!

Some scruffy looking communist, hangs out with lepers and prostitutes

I should probably clarify what I mean by that. Unlike most countries, most of Canada is probably best described as "a barely habitable hellscape"

Even the pioneers relied heavily on existing supply chains, and in most regions aside from southern BC and Ontario the natives lived an unenviable hand to mouth existence.

So while working harder for the same cheque is a bad idea, if everyone stops working at all (which feels like it's on the brink of happening, some days) the collapse of our society actually means losing our ability to survive in a country that actively wants to kill you on most days.

I live way out in the country in a mostly self reliant community, but the amount of material and energy we need to bring in just to survive always worries me.

Gut an AC from the dump. Replace the condenser with a tube in tube heat exchanger, using your cold water as a heat sink. Brazed plate HX if you're feeling rich. Replace the cap tube with a TXV for better load tracking. Recharge with R290.

T Sure this is even further beyond your skill level but is the best possible way to use a source of cold to chill your apartment. You can locate it anywhere convenient, not just by the window. You could likely get a COP over 5 and be discharging the water in a fairly modest stream at around 30-40C.

It's not people, it's only one person!

There's a lot of him to go around though.
