With pork tenderloin, have you ever experimented with sous vide cooking? I find pork tenderloin so unforgiving if you get the temperature wrong that sous vide is the only way I can nail it consistently. There's almost no match better than pork and fennel. Some orange zest in that would probably...

I'd probably change my name if my dad went to jail for attempted murder too (and also manslaughter and armed robbery).

It has an ensuite for each bedroom because it's meant to be occupied by three U of T students whose parents are covering $2K each. There's way too much wasted space in that apartment.

Isn't that the point of making wheelchair accessible access points? Because it's really hard to get a wheelchair down to the trail right now, so nobody does? It's like the old traffic engineer line "Why would we build a bridge across this river? Almost nobody is swimming across today."

There is absolutely no good reason to have TTC announcements in French.

This was pretty much the most obvious decision of all time.

I went skiing at Dagmar a few weeks ago, and on the drive up, we saw a constant stream of dump trucks driving south. My friend joked that they might be building a new ski hill. Sure enough, we got to the top of the lift, and they are building a new ski hill. There was a constant parade of dump...

It's just money. And the people making the decisions about the money don't ride the TTC, so they're not affected by the constant delays.

We got stuck in the tunnel for 15 minutes yesterday due to someone on the tracks. Then narrowly missed a huge delay this morning from the same thing. We need plans to put platform doors in.

I ride the streetcar almost daily (504 or 505 mostly) and see them way too infrequently. Not nearly often enough to make someone think as they board that they have a reasonably likely chance of being fare-checked on that ride.

Israel is using some sort of laser weapon to shoot down drones. Makes a lot more sense than blasting a whole bunch of metal into the air and hoping it doesn't come down on any of your own citizens. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Beam

Hard to say. It's been mostly covered in snow since December. The section where the encampment was has been fenced off since that time. I haven't been by recently to see if the fence has been taken down, but I doubt it.

Nobody has been camping in Dufferin Grove since they cleared it out.

The Kent School is going to become a community centre.
