Dune Part Two
So I just watched Dune Part Two It made me sad. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVED it, it was amazing – Denis Villeneuve did a masterful job of capturing the essence of the book, the cinematography was gorgeous, the script was masterful, and it honours the source material in spectacular fashion. Coming after the…

Not… Mayo?
So, I finally tried it. I wasn’t planning to do that until I finished the bottle of Mayo I had in my fridge, but there was an unfortunate butterfingers moment, accidentally dropped that bottle in a sink full of soapy dish water. Ugh. A bit annoyed with myself. But anyway. This is the first product…

Okay. NotMilk. It’s not milk. I think?
In my last post, I raved a bit about NotBurgers and NotChicken Nuggets. And I mentioned I’d picked up some NotMilk and NotMayo I still haven’t tried the NotMayo but I did try NotMilk Just on a bowl of cereal – kicker? If someone handed me a bowl of cereal with NotMilk, I’d never guess…

Not… Beef or Chicken?
I’ve been toying with meat allegories. Not words, but like, burgers, and chicken nuggets. I stumbled on NotCo a few months ago and decided to trying their NotBurger First impression? The frozen product looks like a Beyond Burger. Almost identical. There are a couple differences in the cooking, for one, NotCo includes a “cooking from…

No Sleep for the Wicked.
It’s not the best of times. I’ve been having issues sleeping, focusing, and being productive the last little bit – as we all know, sleep is important to these things. The explanation I’ve been given is interesting, essentially, when we sleep, our experiences for the day are transferred from our short term memory to long…

Covid Sucks
SARS2-COV-19 is an airborne, deadly virus that can attack your immune system, even in mild cases, turning you from a normal, healthy person, into someone at high risk from any infection. Remember the panic back in the day about HIV and AIDS? HIV was transmitted via fluids, not just sexual contact, but not airborne or…

Conservatism, Centrism, and Progressive Politics.
Something that’s been bothering me about political narratives lately. Put aside CPC MPs cavorting with European MP, Christine Anderson, who is considered extremely right wing, authoritarian, racist, and nasty, it’s this strange idea that somehow the Liberals are a progressive party. When I hear someone say that Prime Minister Trudeau is the world’s most successful…

What is “Long Covid”?
Long Covid. I keep reading they’re looking for a cure – and I don’t believe they’ll ever find one. I prefer not to be negative, but here’s why. We already have an effective way to avoid Long Covid – don’t catch it. I wish there was a chance of a cure, but from what we…

2 (not so) Little Things we should ALL remember about Covid-19
Two things people should know and remember about SARS2 (Covid-19) Note – SARS = Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. Not “a cold you don’t need to worry about, it’s no big deal” 1. It’s airborne. If you walk through a poorly ventilated space, someone with the virus who was there 5 hours ago left enough virus…
