Toronto Litigator; Generalist dork. Horrendous, horrendous nonsense; occasionally, insight.

No no, Canadian here - you slice it into playing card-sized slices about .75cm thick. Then cook it in the oven. It's bomb. Significantly better than normal bacon.

Doesn't this basically standardize across whatever pool of applicants a given school has?

I guess at some point a decision needs to be made on which is less bad: Test scores, or 'soft' qualifiers like internships and extracurriculars. I actually feel it's the latter - kids from homes without much cash are super disadvantaged there. They can't take internships... They're working.

August 30 - TTC CEO Rick Leary is OUT!

A win for the city on the basis of his ineffectiveness alone. Now can we please find somebody who will aggressively take on the TTC's logistics and funding challenges?

Ehh I'll be that guy. We we need to make way more effort to make MH care accessible to those who actually want it. But there is a lot of daylight between people experiencing mental illness, and those who are actively a danger to themselves and are not capable of seeking care for themselves.

People who are much older, are busy oogling shrimp jesuses and big boobied centaur women on facebook. People who are much younger, only know 3 or 4 walled gardens and only maybe 1 has died on them so far.

Kendrick Lamar teaches us that, in public debate, refuting your opponent's arguments point by point is less effective than identifying your opponent's single greatest weakness and maintaining message discipline.

Honestly I am very much in favour of heavy restrictions on gun ownership in most countries. But given the circumstances? This seems sensible. I don't see Russian aggression easing up in the years to come.

The Trump team, is a little bit savvier - outside of the opportunity for cruelty to Biden re: the Hunter conviction, they recognize that Trump's ability to grow his base of support is limited by speaking. This is why they will rely HEAVILY on proxies this election.

Trump will skip this debate because he is - at some level - aware that he's unable to compete in an environment where he can't just unload a firehose of BS. If he gets the sense that this debate has any rules - like cutting off mics at the end of allotted time - he will drop out and claim 'rigged!'

Counterpoint: China is more likely to capitalize on Russian weakness than to lend actual military support. See their current salami slicing of Vladivostok. NK military support, in all likelihood limited to munitions. Russia doesn't need more manpower - it needs $ and hardware. NK can't provide.

They're not gonna deport 20 million people. They're gonna deport the labor organizers, the guys who ask for raises, the guys who leave the pork processing plant to get a better job elsewhere. Our agriculture sector runs on immigrant labor and draconian immigration laws are about giving bosses power

I feel that in the absence of a unifying framework on physician's costs (which... seems unlikely) the Feds are most able to address this by way of a tax credit offsetting all admin costs for doctors. Especially helpful to GPs who get burned especially on those costs.

Today's Trump decision is a procedural decision. Like all procedural decisions - it's a bit dry. But it should not be underappreciated for its importance. Big implications - unlikely SCOTUS appeals.

I get a lot of scam victims as clients and they often feel humiliated and really angry at themselves. This is what I tell them: you got taken by a professional. That’s like getting beaten up by a professional MMA fighter. It’s no reflection on you. Pros are very good at what they do.

Terrific author’s note from C K McDonnell. Automating a process is stupid if the process is the point. Also, if a book lasts into further reprints, is read maybe, hopefully, into the future, these notes will be valuable, lived history.

His biography comments on this extensively, and interestingly, he speaks to how the experience of being *treated* like a Jewish person expanded his horizons, empathy, etc.

No politician’s getting perfect marks from me. Not my role. Mayor Chow has already done certain things I don’t agree with. But the main thing Toronto needs from her is to be the adult in the room, to be open and honest about our dire financial state, and raise taxes accordingly.
