After decanting the alcohol can you precipitate out the salt?

Where are you sourcing pemmican? Doesn't it take a year to make?

An opthalmologist?

Horses are a king's best friend. Dogs are for people.

Neat! I'd thought about doing this before so it's cool to see you've done it. Although I would want to taste it. Surely it's salty right?

Doesn't really seem like an igloo entrance to me. The entrance is too big (would let too much warmth out) and it doesn't seem to be made of blocks. But I could be wrong.

Way too far. I also support secularism in that I don't believe that religions should be privileged above deeply held personal preferences. This is like religious persecution.

The article says

The bill also seeks to ban public institutions from offering a diet exclusively based on a religious tradition

I mean I would expect that no meals are based exclusively on a religious tradition, usually it's based on a combination of religious tradition and culinary art, or nutritional requirement.

I think the law they broke is "conspiracy to commit murder, maim, or kidnap in a foreign country". The conspiracy is the crime and the home country does have jurisdiction because the conspiracy is happening there and they have a law against conspiring to murder people in other countries.

They were charged with conspiracy to murder, maim, or kidnap in a foreign country and production of child pornography.

Emphasis mine.

An alien planet isn't a foreign country. It's not clear that aliens are legal persons. You don't seem to be engaged in a conspiracy either. I'm not a lawyer on Earth nor Glaxtonbry but: I don't think it's illegal to advance your plan.

FWIW Abraham Lincoln typed

Yeah, and obviously if the 'hot' water isnt hot, there isn't anything it can do.

 

My neighbour (40/m) ("N") confided that his recently retired father (70/m) ("G") has started going to the casino twice a day (all day but he comes home for dinner).

G's losses affect the food they eat (multi generational household).

N doesn't really know what to do. I'm not so concerned for N, moreso his mother/G's wife.

It's not my business but, when I was a kid my boyscout leader committed suicide after gambling away his house so I'm pretty sensitive to this sort of thing. I'd like to help if I can.

Any advice?

This goose has adopted my parents, and is attempting to establish residency in their cabin. We suspect it is domestic and escaped from its coop. It's a seasonal cabin and they're planning to close up soon. What should they do? Central Ontario. Near Bracebridge.

UPDATE: A neighbor of theirs is set up for chickens, so could accommodate a goose. And shortly after making that arrangement an ad appeared in the community message board. So the goose is going home.

 

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the scale of the problem of nuclear waste. If we took all the nuclear waste produced in a year and evenly blended it into all gasoline burned in a year would the radiation be deadly? Dangerous? Detectable?

It's easiest to get numbers for the US.

2 000 000 kg of waste per year

510 000 000 000 Liters of gasoline

Obviously this isn't a real proposal, although I think it would reduce carbon emissions...

 

Wikipedia says

A superhero or superheroine is a stock character that typically possesses superpowers, abilities beyond those of ordinary people, and fits the role of the hero, typically using their powers to help the world become a better place, or dedicating themselves to protecting the public and fighting crime.

So yes, he is definitely dedicated to protecting the public, but it feels wrong to call him a super hero. What do you think?
