Liberal majority with 61.4%

With this, the prospect of electoral reform seems bleak.

But it looks better than the alternative with 1% chance.

The citynew article is terrible, the university release explains things better, including highlighting the problems with the livestock industry they are trying to solve (also with the mining industry).

Who paid for this research? The cattle association?

The single cell protein (SCP) research is very old. In this specific case, it was https://www.cvictus.com/ that asked U of A to check if they could create protein with their hydrogen.

Helping the environment means ending the livestock industry and moving to a varied plant-based diet.

Humans consume a lot of SCP, people might be more comfortable with algae and fungi based, but it is not that uncommon to check the ingredient lists and see some “bacillus” in there, or Spirulina if you are into cooking.

Bacteria yield more protein per volume, but sadly, they also can create toxins and might not taste as great as algae and fungi, that also adds to the importance of those kinds of research.

A few papers down the line and these SCP can help us end the need for livestock.

“dried methanol mixed with bacteria protein”

That is not the case.

Ending cruelty is an honourable cause, and also benefits us a lot. But the way you use your words reminded me of those Republicans defunding research and aid because the wording made them uncomfortable.

This citynews article is poorly written, you should keep just the university release because it explains properly what happened, why, and the benefits of the method.

These are numbers from 2016. Is there any place where we can read these contracts? Maybe with the current situation, conditions are changing. Hopefully, people put a clause in case of animosity between countries.

Matrix is my favourite, and easy to use, you just need to pick a client that supports it https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/ (Element is the most common) and create an account. You can also self-host if you want more privacy/control.

Signal has a desktop client, but sadly, it still needs a phone to work.

I also use Steam chat for playing.

A more direct alternative would be

• Discord -> Revolt
• Teamspeak -> Mumble

How does the release date of the song works? There are some albums released in 2024, but I find YouTube performances in 2023.

I was going to recommend Jeremy Dutcher, but there was this grammy’s performance https://www.grammy.com/videos/jeremy-dutcher-pomawsuwinuwok-wonakiyawolotuwok-performance-global-spin

I am not sure if it counts as an international hit. Edit: Nevermind, found a video in 2023 with that song.

Adding to what other people already said

• For used stuff, https://www.kijiji.ca/
• DDR3 and SSD are still available around. (But I find it difficult to get Timetec and Patriot cheap outside Amazon - might be worth checking pcpartpicker)
• Old cables parts: check for small repair shops in your region, give them a call, they might have a box with cables.

And compare the prices with AliExpress. Occasionally, I find better prices here in Canada, but for cables, screws, filters, sadly importing is way cheaper. I think people buy in bulk from China and sell for 4X~10x more online here.

I don’t know if you have tools and spare parts, but power cables are easy to fix if you follow the pin order and cable requirements.

Also, on FB market, or kijiji, post what you are looking for. People might have, but did not know there was interest.

I’m not sure if it is because of where I am living now, but +25 years ago there would be a whole neighbourhood of no brand tech stores, it was effortless to find old tech or next-generation consoles.

Canada is frail with local resellers, from the ones I had good experience with, Mike’s closed, Canada Computers had data leak and price gouging in the recent history. All my interactions with Memory Express were awful, online or in person. I should have stopped after 3 times, but someone always says “they are better now”, shame on me. I have yet to try vuugo, pc-canada and shoprbc…

There are also some small niche stores, but they sell custom-made stuff, cables with different colours, or parachute chord sleeves. But then you will pay the price of your full cart on a single cable.
