Well our laws are if you are in control of a vehicle while intoxicated then you get a ticket , etc. You don't have to be in motion to get a ticket. Just having the keys on you sitting in a car drunk could qualify, because you have the key, thus the ability to control it at any time.
Sure its technicality, but that law is there to prevent him driving off one day. Prevent is a problematic word. But its like sexual offenders not allowed near a school. It isn't preventing sex crimes, but could lower chances, so you get ticketed for violating the laws.
I have had that conversation with Americans on social media. I tried explaining to them paying a private insurance company does actually pay for other peoples healthcare, and that it is not banking money for your own care. They couldn't grasp the idea, and couldn't understand how a single system ( that is government funded ) ends up providing cheaper insurance because there is no profit and everyone pays into it.
Lack of critical thinking for many Americans.
Canada and USA are sumilar in age compared to Europe. The biggest difference I see between Canadian attitude toward life and USA seems to boil down to free healthcare. With free healthcare you don't have to amass wealth to take care of yourself just in case. And you don't have to keep worrying about law suits if somebody is injured. It changes your relationship with the citizens, because Canadians are in it together, Americans fend for themselves.
And in the province of British Columbia we have socialized crown corp car insurance. You don't sue another insurance company for damages (or health care costs) in a car accident, because its all one insurer. Your car gets fixed, your medical is paid. If they payout less than the premiums collected we get rebate cheques. For majority of accidents where damage is minimal and nobody is seriously hurt, you don't even have the police come for a traffic report, you just self report it online.
Everything is a lot less adversarial
Corporations are stupid. My dad got his job eliminated with a severance package after 25+years at a place that was moving plants, then hired at same company as a contractor at 50% raise for 8 more years (till he retired). Like the accounting math makes no sense
I lost track and had to abandon reading it. Meandering rambling.
More and Faster, here we come
Steals it from your system I meant. Which has even happened to security pros.
True dat. But if they compromise your computer the first thing the look for is key files.
Like my ssh keys are in a root permission file. Protected from general sight, but if somebody compromises my PC with a CVE on then goodbye keys.
At least with hardware key it is removable and requires a button press.
So accessing becomes physical access or quantum computer cracking
I mean yes everything is hackable. Thankfully the hardware key supports FIDO where there is a public / private pair with private locked on the hardware. Not enough services support this though.
So threat is being targeted and having somebody steal the hardware key.
SEARS didn't adapt. They were a mailorder king in the 80s, but somehow they didn't feel online store was the method they should go with...which is just mailorder with an online catalog.
Same seems to be happening with MS, they don't understand their clients.
My wife was sick today and she finds that spicy food seem to help her feel better.
So South Asian lentil base Sambar soup for dinner, but I added some leaks, ginger, peas and orzo to give it some heartiness.
Very hot, since a big part of the base is ground chilly powders.
Spicy corn dish as a snack. Normally you garnish with some coconut and eat with Roti, but corn tacos work too.
Tonight is a Spicy Thai Eggplant-Tofu Stirfry.
My wife ate too much risotto yesterday, and some for breakfast, so its a quick stir fry just for me tonight.
Tonight's dinner for two is Mushroom Risotto. Normally risotto asks for white wine and chicken broth. For the base I sauteed onions and carrots in some juice from Majlis green olives (it has like a vermouth flavour to it) with a few fennel seeds and some sage and rosemary, mushroom salt, pepper and some lemon.
Tonight we were running out of veg, so a simple Broccoli and "Beef" teriyaki.
Beef was from dried Soya Wadi from an Indian grocer. They are a dried and defatted soya product. Simmered those in a combo of spices and soy sauce and Marmite mixture.
Teriyaki sauce was: 1 cup of water, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 table spoons of brown sugar, some ginger and garlic. Warm it up then add a 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to a 1/4 cup of cold water and once mixed, dump into pot and simmer about 5-8 minutes till it thickens.
Crispy Tofu tonight with some stirfried veg in a sweet chilli sauce, and some flat rice noodles.
Today, as an old guy, I was cleaning our glass top stove. The Weiman cleaner is in the cupboard above the stove. I squirted a bunch on the dirty rings and then realized its normally white not blue paste.
Turns out I grabbed the Cascade Complete dishwasher liquid. Duh.
I started to wipe it and realized it was pulling off the baked on food better than the stove cleaning product.
Best it has looked in 5 years.
P.s. made sure to fully rinse all of it off so no residue remained.
My wife liked the Polynesian sauce she had as a kid. So I reduced black cherries and pineapple down into a thick sauce, and a bit of ketchup and Catalina dressing to give it that zing she remembered. Poured that over some veggie chicken tvp product, and various stirfried veggies.
She loves the sauce so my plate (shown) has very little.
Still working on getting my tawa seasoned and batter consistency sorted out. But making dosa batter from scratch with cumin seeds, chopped chillies, ginger, curry leaves, and cilantro, is so delicious compared to the boxed mix. (And if I can say so, better than some dosa places I have eaten at)
Pot of bean and tvp chilli, and some slices of homemade bread. A good sharp breadknife makes life so much easier.
Baba Ganoush is very low effort if you have a food processor.
Slice a large eggplant in half and place face down in a glass pan.
Add a tablespoon or two of oil.
Sprinkle various spices on top.
Cover dish and bake for an hour at 350°F. (Edit wrong letter before oops C and F make a difference LOL) Skin should be a bit blackened and shriveled. At this point you can leave it in the oven with heat off to let it further roast and cool down.
Take out, let it cool, and uncover when ready to start.
Pick up the halves the inner will be super soft and ready to slide right out of the skin with the help of a spoon. Scoup it all into the food processor. A little skin going in is fine. Adds flavour.
If there is juice in the dish you can pour that in too, or add a tiny amount of water to the dish to pull some of the spice mix out and add to processor.
Add 2 fresh cloves of garlic, a half a pealed lemon, a table spoon of oil.
Toast a layer of sesame seeds in a six or nine inch skillet (lightly oiled). And add those to the processor. You can buy tahini if you don't want to deal with toasting seeds.
Blend it till garlic and seeds are smoothed into the paste. Add salt and pepper to taste.
This makes a ganoush with deep flavour, it won't be like the pale white looking ganoush you see at some stores.
Ha. Awesome. There's always some dick in a Mercedes, BMW or RangeRover SUV parked in the Handicap spots with no placard.
My wife always gives them shit if they are in the car, or spots them in the store and shames them.
One guy was adamant he wasn't going to be there long so it was fine. Like the level of self importance on those people is next level.
