I did 6 months for each of my kids and it was great.

The other thought I had was NORAD but my quick googling points to 1958 for that, and 59 for the arrow.

another one issue that I considered was the King-Byng affair, but that was in the 20s

Yes

Ah my bias: I was only interested in grain mashes. My immediate reaction was, “why on earth would there be wood in your mash?” The answer is fruit stems. Methanol will be differentially in the foreshot but if you’re not expecting much because you’re not fermenting any wood, it’s going to be low in the foreshots and very low in the hearts, but not much anywhere. BUT if you’re fermenting something with woody stems, I can see that methanol removal is going to be worthy of consideration.

My understanding is that we obligated Japanese & Korean auto makers to open some plants in Canada/NAFTA/USMCA in order to gain access to our market. I don’t see why the requirements should be any different for Chinese automakers.

I think the tariffs we applied to BYD were different because China bad and it was done to placate the USA. I don’t think we should single out China to placate America (especially if it doesn’t work).

one purpose of distillation is separating them

The purpose of distillation in this context is ethanol concentration. Methanol separation is possible but not really the goal.

Thats why you have to remove the foreshot

I don’t think the foreshots have a particularly higher concentration of methanol, other nasty stuff sure, but I think methanol is in pretty similar concentration to the ethanol.

An incompetent distiller can still cost you your eyesight or even life.

My understanding is that it’s people cutting the ethanol with industrial intoxicants that gets people injured/ killed. Ie people recklessly adulturing the alcohol.

The only problem I’ve heard of that’s from distilling itself and not intentional contamination is people doing freeze distillation of ciders (skin on).

That said, most of my reading has been with respect to pot stills and grain beers, maybe fermenting fruits create more methanol than grains, I still think intentional contamination with who knows what is higher on the risk list than accidentally high methanol concentrations. But if you know of specific cases I’d be happy to read them.

Edit: my view has been substantially altered. Due to my existing bias towards all grain mash, I hadn’t considered the possibility of woody material fermentation on methanol creation. I still believe negligent adulteration is more of a risk than negligent distillation, but negligent distillation is not a totally irrelevant risk.

My investigations into home distilling convinced me that distillation doesn’t convert ethanol into methanol. Moonshine poisoning is the result of adulteration of the product, (mixing it with other intoxicants) not bad distillation.

Basically sometimes people put other stuff in moonshine to reduce their costs, or give a special buzz. There’s no guarantee that the adulterant to be concerned about is methanol.

How do American companies that operate Canadian subsidiaries get their earnings out of the country?

I’m sure many “private conversations” are occurring, we shouldn’t discount the possibility (as slight as it may be) that they were serving Canada’s legitimate interests and not just their own.

I mean it is possible that conservative Americans would take Conservative MPs more seriously, and they had a unique opportunity to advocate for us…

I mean I wouldn’t wager much money on the proposition, but it’s possible.

So how does generating a one time pad from mutually accessible data fit into this scheme. Is the pad the cipher or the key?

If two people agreed that the pad would be the output of a particular pRNG given the 3rd paragraph of the second article on the third page of that day’s newspaper as a seed.

The attack vector would be shortcomings in the pRNG I guess? Which could result in the possibility of some sort of statistical language attack?

Or the attacker could guess the newspaper text & algorithm.

Neat, yeah Wikipedia says steam cipher approximate one time pads but can also be completely insecure.

I think it would take one hell of an effort to crack, it would be like 3MB encryption right? Or if they guessed the scheme they could try all mp3s ever torrented XOR’ed in every possible combination.

Idk I think there’s something workable there but I only having a casual knowledge

Also I think OP wanted pen and paper so maybe use a book instead digital files.

I’m certainly not an expert.

But could you generate pads from mutually accessible data sources?

Like use hit_me_baby_one_more_time_not_a_virus.mp3 appended with a password, as a seed in a pseudo random number generating algorithm, then do the same thing with another data source, repeat however many times, then XOR the generated numbers together, and use the result as a pad?

I think schopenhauer’s quote:

to overcome difficulties if to experience the full delight of existence context

is a corollary of sorts.

You should read the article.

But also here is a link to a video of the game the foul mentioned is at 1:07:50.

I don’t watch a lot of basketball but can anyone think of a reason other than transphobia that the white team coach (right end of the bench) would clap at that time?

I was told there was no such thing as a shortage in a free market, why won’t the executive branch embrace free market economics?

I just came across this article and thought you might be interested, though maybe it’s all old hat to you.

I wonder if Canadian factories/mills/mines are seeing panic buying by their American customers.

Anchoring is legitimately a negotiation technique where you start with an absurd demand to set the framing of the haggling.

Ie now the idea of expanded sea port security integration doesn’t seem like a crazy thing to exchange for elimination of tariffs.

But guess what, expanded sea port security integration would drastically reduce our ability to economically pivot in the face of future tariff threats. Ie if expanded sea port security integration means the USA can prevent us from using our sea ports.

I agree vertical speed looks high, wake turbulence seems like a good hypothesis given that they were trying to make up ground on the backlog.
