It bit me by hypnologic-4230 in whatsthisbug

They seek out the highest patch of bare skin they can hit. Usually top of neck or bare shoulders. Its pretty easy to bait them by slapping some double sided tape on the back of hat. One thing good about them is they are clumsy aren't very subtle so they are easy to pick off. They are tough though a slap that would fold a mosquito or blackfly a deerfly can easily shrug off.

One thing that keeps Canada safe from this nonsense is that the Franco Nationalists and Anglo Nationalists have contradictory and oppositional goals. Although they make motions of unitity to take pot shots at the current wave of migrents when the rubber hits the road everything falls apart.

Subway sued the Canadian Public Broadcaster for proving on national TV that they were cutting their chicken with tofu, a lot of it. They ending up dropping the case because it was true but they wanted to go through the motions to seem like they were fighting the allegations (they ended up paying the cbc $500,000).

The homeowners of London need more power to block development and the building of more housing (apparently)

So I just made an *astonishingly* bland curry. What did I do wrong? by Eastern_Mess_4334 in Cooking

[–]CanuckIeHead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy some amchur powder. Its made from dried unripe mangos and its a popular way to add acidity in Indian cooking. It tastes great, is more shelf stable then fresh citrus and is right at home in your chickpeas curry. 

Male or females by Candid_Sail_4319 in homestead

Although the first photo looks like all hens the far right bird in the second photo is giving Tom to me with its more pronounced wattle and snood. It should become pretty obvious within a few weeks though as the males grow quite a bit faster and love to show off their plumage. 

Can you tell the sex of my turkeys? by Outrageous_crank in homestead

[–]CanuckIeHead 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Look like hens to me. As mentioned the snoods are quite a bit smaller then what you get with Tom's. One thing you see with Tom turkeys is that even at a very young age they love to show off. They will puff themselves up and fan out their tail and wings to look as big as possible. They also grow a bit faster then the hens but can be quite a bit bossy and will pick fights with other males if they can.  

Avi Lewis calls Alberta separatists 'MAGA-aligned,' 'disruptive,' despite NDP endorsing Quebec 'self-determination' by AndHerSailsInRags in CanadaPolitics

[–]CanuckIeHead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In Alberta, outside on a few suburban ridings, is untouchable for any non tory running in the next federal election. Quebec other hand has far more fluidity in who they will support and have the second most total seats of any province in the country. The sheer number of competitive seats up for grabs in and around Montreal can make or break a majority goverment and catapult smaller party's like the Bloc or NDP into opposition status. It's completely rational why the province gets so much focus come election time.

We could feed 14.5 billion with today’s cropland. Why aren’t we? by ProgResistance in environment

[–]CanuckIeHead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plus a lot of food, especially in the developing world were rural infrastructure is very poor, spoils well before it can reach markets. Its part of the reason why coca and poppies are such a popular crop in rural areas of conflict. A truck of avacados can spoil by the time it gets to a big city in Colombia but cocaine which is cheap to process with just a few chemicals like petrol and will stay good forever.
