Mate I’d be buying a car that ISN’T American, because international manufacturers would be diverting supply away from America. I have and use a bicycle, but it’s difficult to bicycle to the ski hill with my family’s skis.

As a Canadian shopping for a car should I expect price drops due to diverted supply?

My buddy warned me about the mint the pervious owners planted, and I pulled it right away. It was right by our basement entrance so I frequently peer in and inspect for mint shoots. I think there must be a buried barrier or something (like landscaping cloth) preventing it from spreading outside the bed it was in. I found a small sprig 4 years after pulling everything I could find.

Could you suggest alternate wording that succinctly conveys what the commenter obviously meant?

It actually isn’t a movie, it’s a Broadway musical that was filmed and released without a cinematic release. If you knew anything about cinema or the English language you’d know that, but you’re too obsessed with making me look like an asshole to think about it rationally.

Yeah we should totally ban drug smuggling!

I did 6 months for each of my kids and it was great.

The other thought I had was NORAD but my quick googling points to 1958 for that, and 59 for the arrow.

another one issue that I considered was the King-Byng affair, but that was in the 20s

Killing time are you being intentionally obtuse just to kill time?

Terrorism is politically/religiously motivated violence.

…By non-uniformed personnel, against non-state actors, for the purpose of using visceral public fear to achieve political goals.

Uniformed vs state is war

Non-uniformed vs state is insurrection

Uniformed vs non-state is war crime (unless against insurrection/ terrorism I suppose, in which case its just war/ counter terrorism).

How is real estate wealth not consequential?Real estate wealth is real wealth, it’s why it’s literally in the name.

Personal income tax is not a wealth tax, and there are myriad ways to avoid it without evading it.

Yes

I think it’s partly UV and partly being cleaned with paper towel. I think cotton is much softer on a micro level.

I am on an elementary school’s parent advisory committee and we had one built for school notices and fundraisers etc.

It took for ever to get built though, and cost an arm and a leg.

Ah my bias: I was only interested in grain mashes. My immediate reaction was, “why on earth would there be wood in your mash?” The answer is fruit stems. Methanol will be differentially in the foreshot but if you’re not expecting much because you’re not fermenting any wood, it’s going to be low in the foreshots and very low in the hearts, but not much anywhere. BUT if you’re fermenting something with woody stems, I can see that methanol removal is going to be worthy of consideration.

My understanding is that we obligated Japanese & Korean auto makers to open some plants in Canada/NAFTA/USMCA in order to gain access to our market. I don’t see why the requirements should be any different for Chinese automakers.

I think the tariffs we applied to BYD were different because China bad and it was done to placate the USA. I don’t think we should single out China to placate America (especially if it doesn’t work).

one purpose of distillation is separating them

The purpose of distillation in this context is ethanol concentration. Methanol separation is possible but not really the goal.

Thats why you have to remove the foreshot

I don’t think the foreshots have a particularly higher concentration of methanol, other nasty stuff sure, but I think methanol is in pretty similar concentration to the ethanol.

An incompetent distiller can still cost you your eyesight or even life.

My understanding is that it’s people cutting the ethanol with industrial intoxicants that gets people injured/ killed. Ie people recklessly adulturing the alcohol.

The only problem I’ve heard of that’s from distilling itself and not intentional contamination is people doing freeze distillation of ciders (skin on).

That said, most of my reading has been with respect to pot stills and grain beers, maybe fermenting fruits create more methanol than grains, I still think intentional contamination with who knows what is higher on the risk list than accidentally high methanol concentrations. But if you know of specific cases I’d be happy to read them.

Edit: my view has been substantially altered. Due to my existing bias towards all grain mash, I hadn’t considered the possibility of woody material fermentation on methanol creation. I still believe negligent adulteration is more of a risk than negligent distillation, but negligent distillation is not a totally irrelevant risk.

My investigations into home distilling convinced me that distillation doesn’t convert ethanol into methanol. Moonshine poisoning is the result of adulteration of the product, (mixing it with other intoxicants) not bad distillation.

Basically sometimes people put other stuff in moonshine to reduce their costs, or give a special buzz. There’s no guarantee that the adulterant to be concerned about is methanol.

It’s a wealth tax on wealth that’s very difficult to hide.
