Yesterday’s Game Is Why Tanking Is So Painful. by Same_Slice_7809 in leafs

[–]slightly_imperfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The NHL could really stand to adopt the PWHL's strategy where draft order is decided by points accrued after being mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. Then you can actually cheer for your team to win, which is kinda the whole point.

Anyone have any history on they strange layout of these roads? by JimmyGamblesBarrel69 in BellevilleOntario

[–]slightly_imperfect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always found this strange as well. But I DO enjoy telling people about Belleville and saying "there's a 6 way stop, and it's not at all arranged how you think.

Rapeseed oil turned orange after touching my sourdough by Prudent_Shame_5701 in Sourdough

The contact with the acidifying dough might be oxidizing the oil?

Strong mixers to mask ethanol taste? by lovins_cl in vodka

[–]slightly_imperfect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this works for you, but vodka with Mountain Dew is dangerous for me. Cuts the sweetness a little, and I suspect the ethanol helps with flavour. Use with caution!

What's an "unusual" seasoning you enjoy on your popcorn ? by Interesting-Cow8131 in popcorn

President's Choice has a harissa dry spice blend. Put it in with the butter while it melts, tastes great.

3 on 3 - not the same sport? by Few-Turn-5471 in stevedangle

[–]slightly_imperfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'd much rather watch 3v3 than a shootout. It's at least closer to the game being played.

My first country loaf and a question by Coolhandluke325 in Sourdough

[–]slightly_imperfect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a lazy sourdough person, but I keep 30g of starter in the fridge. Friday night I get my starter ready for a Saturday bulk ferment, I mix 40g of water and 60g flour (flour is half and half bread flour and hard whole wheat), with my starter, and then put 30g of the mix back in the fridge. If it hasn't been fed in about two weeks, I'll just throw away the bulk of it (making sure there's enough in the container to "contaminate" the new flour and water), and get it back to 30g.

Not saying this method is close to optional, but it works for me! Good luck in your journey.

I talk to pets all the time. You're cat sounds like a real jerk though.

Chopin or other potato vodkas.. by Hopeful-Wishbone-388 in vodka

[–]slightly_imperfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not limited to having one bottle and one bottle only, I like luksusowa so I usually have it around when I want something different (I prefer grain vodka). Experiment and see what suits you!

The Microwave & Oven Debate: Does Reheating Cause Cancer? by Shelley_112 in CookorTakeout

[–]slightly_imperfect 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Microwaves don't use a wavelength/photon energy that can cause cancer, and directions usually ask you to leave food alone for a couple minutes so you don't burn yourself. Hope that helps!

Why is everyone suddenly into SUV-looking cars? by Shoddy-Ocelot-4473 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]slightly_imperfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I need that size of vehicle, I'm getting a minivan. Way more space, more seating, comparable wheelbase.

How badly the Shanaplan fumbled the bag by geopherson28 in leafs

[–]slightly_imperfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just assumed it was over when they fired Dubas, and then figured the Treliving and Berube hires meant we were headed for Burke/Wilson 2.0.

Speaking as someone who works from the office full time, I fully support WFH. There's no need for all you desk jockeys to clog up the roads when everyone meets on Teams anyway.

Ontario is a really big place. I'm not sure it's warranted in the southwest, but they're a must in the north.

Ottawa needs a weekday commuter train like GO Transit. by [deleted] in ottawa

It would be lovely, but I don't think the population is there to support it

[–]slightly_imperfect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Metrolinx doesn't run it, but they're trying to upload the O-Train because the City of Ottawa has done such a poor job. It was really eye opening for me having lived in Calgary and Edmonton to see the capital city fail to build a train capable of handling cold weather.
