"Expect" seems a bit dramatic, since it's not like they gun down someone on every call. Be prepared for the possibility, maybe.

I don't want to say that Trump made you a favor, but I realized that I had completely forgot about Canada. Are you aware of this?
The dishes in mind were actually butter tarts, Nanaimo bars and poutine. Cheese curds are hard to come by in the US (so they make a much worse version with cheddar or whatever), and Bird's custard powder for the filling of the bars is a British commonwealth thing. Butter tarts just aren't exciting enough I guess.
I have no idea how prevalent horsemeat is anywhere. The white people in my area are loudly butthurt it exists at all.

"The judge seems willing to order structural changes in Google's ad exchange practices, which may affect Google's bottom line somewhat, but don't seem to necessarily threaten its core value proposition as an advertising middleman," he added.
In an ongoing series of antitrust lawsuits, the US government argues Google and its parent company Alphabet should be broken up - which could include selling off parts of the company such as the Chrome browser.
The US case will now move to a second "remedies" phase, which could also lead to Alphabet being broken up, said John Kwoka, a professor of economics at Northeastern University.
Unless Trump rescues them, I guess.

Honestly we forget about Canada, in a way. Having the US so close geographically and culturally has made it hard to see anything else. I can think of three distinctly Canadian dishes, and two of them have only stayed Canadian because they involve ingredients Americans can't get.
The Anglo-Canadian identity is pretty much just "we're not American" and having an inferiority complex. It's been weirdly natural for people to switch to thinking of America as the enemy.
while I know about all the shitty pizzas the US made up in a century.
Yep, none of that was us. For sure. /s

Heart cockle shells transmit sunlight to photosymbiotic algae using bundled fiber optic cables and condensing lenses - Nature Communications
(www.nature.com)
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/33597552
Summary from the 404 media newsletter
Heart cockles, a group of marine molluscs, contain little communities of algae in their shells as part of a symbiotic relationship; the algae get shelter and protection, and the cockles get algae-processed nutrients.
Now, scientists have discovered that cockle shells have a host of mind-boggling adaptations to keep these algae happy, including windows that offer “the first example of fiber optic cable bundles in a living creature.”
“We show that the fibrous prismatic crystals act like parallel bundles of fiber optic cables in the shell windows, not just transmitting light but projecting high-resolution images through the window,” that have “a resolution of >100 lines/mm,” said researchers led by Dakota McCoy of the University of Chicago.
From the article in the link above:
Fig. 1: Heart cockles (Corculum cardissa and Corculum spp.) are asymmetrical, photosymbiotic bivalves.
Fig. 2: Transparent windows allow heart cockle shells to transmit 11–62% of photosynthetically active radiation (mean = 31%) and significantly screen out UV radiation (mean = 14%, range = 5–28%).

See, there's people here saying never for something nonviolent. That's kinda silly, non-violent crimes can be just as bad. They're just less visually compelling.
