But then Orleans in Quebec is OR-LAY-AN

Both are doctors… There are also theology doctors, juridical doctors, and so on.

There is a difference between 1st and 3rd cycle doctorate though!

Better than being American?

Oh, i was referring to something I noticed recently: There seems to be a growing movement asking for “decolonization” of chocolate, to bring more of the profit from chocolate sales into the countries where caco grows.

I think it raises an interesting ethical question when it comes to a product in which the key ingredients don’t all come from the same place.

On the one side, I totally agree that cacao producers have historically been abused by European chocolate companies, and they should rightfully collect more benefits from this incredibly nice product! Some of these countries even started to block export of un-finished cacao products.

However, many types of chocolate cannot be made with cacao alone, and depend on other ingredients coming from other areas of the world. If every area acts the same way, then it becomes impossible to create “assemblage” products like milk chocolate… How should these situations be handles ethically?

Wasn’t “chocolate the product” designed in Europe by mixing cacao from Africa, sugarcane from americas, and milk from Europe? Making chocolate a product of colonialism…

Sure, dark chocolate is mostly cacao, so could be produced where cacao grows… But the most popular chocolate flavor around me in Canada is milk chocolate (less than 40% cacao), mostly sugar and butter. Where should this be produced?

I breath a lot of car tires when i walk to work…

That was not a single-use plastic straw. It was a reusable straw like the one people started buying to avoid single-use ones.

The surgery’s acronym is “Oh! Okay pee.”

NG being owned by Disney wouldn’t show mammals doing like they do on the Discovery Channel.

I found that habits don’t work the same for me as for NT people. I can form a habit by making the thing clearly visible, but can lose a habit just as quickly.

Hide my toothbrush one day and I’ll forget that brushing teeth is even a thing!

Oh! That Merlin modding is such a good idea! I like the sound of the Merlin and can usually shift tunes up or down to play parts on it…

I’ll look into it! Some of my colleagues used to be luthiers.

Forgetting to take my meds?

Oh yes! It seems there are more good manufacturers in Canada than I initially thought!

Never tried their Uke, but seagull makes great acoustic instruments, made in Québec’s eastern townships.

I have their mandolin (love it!) and an “M4” for when kids come over and want to play on something. Somehow, they always prefer to try the crappy neon green Mahalo uke…

I love Fourier transforms.

I don’t love courier transforms.

You can also use wavelets to get the middle graph and access the benefit of both spatial and fréquential localization, up to the uncertainty limit!

Also bottom left is Irish coffee. This comic is actually about stress-induced alcoholism. 🥂

Off to get my end-of-workday whisky!

We must think it backwards: building rails will bring population density.

If we wait for density to be high enough, the development will not have been planned for rails and it will be socially impossible to make people accept the demolition needed to build it.

To get people trested equally, you need to apply positive bias towards women whom would otherwise be treated unfairly by the current systemic biases.
