Yes, all the exact same product as the one discussed in the article.

(Except my dad's last year, I have no clue what he bought.)

They seem to be $2.50 a pound across Ontario at Independent (including the one in St Mary's), $2 a pound at some other Loblaw stores, both of which are cheaper than Walmart at $3 a pound.

Maybe the uproar made them change their price.

That said, I'm pretty sure my dad paid $80 for our 20lb turkey last year. I only remember cause he was bitching about it and I had to ask him if that was expensive lol.

I agree, mostly, but...

1. We wash our eggs in Canada and the USA (and a few other places) for more than just salmonella. It's mostly salmonella, but there are other bacterium and stuff that can be on the outside of the eggs after they roll around in chicken shit (hyperbolicly). The washing removes the protective bloom so we then have to refrigerate our eggs. In countries that don't do this, you should still wash your eggs right before using them and your hands after handling them.
2. The extent of this particular recall indicates something happened in the packaging process that wouldn't necessarily have been solved by vaccines. It seems like something got contaminated and then contaminated the eggs post washing. Vaccines would probably reduce the risk of having any contaminated surfaces (since there would be less chance of salmonella being brought in) but we don't know the source of the contamination at this point.
3. You still get salmonella outbreaks and illness (from eggs and meat) in Europe. The vaccine isn't 100% effective, there can be new strains, mishandled products, or even specific farms that get an infection and introduce it into the system. So just keep in mind that while the strategies are different both have been effective in reducing the amount of downstream illness (though it is slightly better in Europe, I believe).

If a random comedian made that joke it would be offensive and slightly funny.

He's a former president, vying to be the next president, using a very real person's trauma to set up the punch-line of a joke. It's inappropriate and shows his lack of empathy.

Sounds like the guy I want to be running emergency management!

Xitter. Xitter xitter xitter.

They have an "attack flow" diagram that seems to indicate a hacker installing it directly through a known vulnerability.

The router might have a page for fixed IP addresses.

will stay a solid gaming rig for 4-5 years, longer if you like indies

Indies are often worse because they don't have the time to spend on optimization. Especially those made to be first-person 3D.

Sticking to 2D/light-3D games, older games (try !patientgamers@lemmy.ml or !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works ) and games made PC first (not console first) are my tips as someone with a not-quite-gaming laptop. The last one is the hardest, but as someone who optimized games for consoles for years I can tell you optimization for PC was always the last thing on our minds: get it to run, and raise the required specs.

Don't give Gwyneth Paltrow any ideas.

“I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species, and I realized that you're not actually mammals.

Every mammal on this planet instictively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area.

There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is?

A virus.

Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague.

And we… are the cure.”

The printed picture of the guy casts shadows like it's 3D. It keeps messing with my head I think.

But really there's a lot of very cool stuff in this picture, with the toy and the printed version matching, but not quite, and the plastic packaging. Neat.

Good point! If vehicles are communicating like that, which I've always thought would be the ultimate for efficiency, you'd have to protect against poison pills. That would be even more difficult with disparate systems cooperating.

Reminds me of the car "chase" scene in I, Robot.
