I R Larnin' New Tings Today
Today I learned that Texas is not in the same time zone as Canada.
That being said, I find it pretty amazing that Canada left the continent when no one was looking. It's SUPER IMPRESSIVE and we should all bow down in awe. -

For that matter, what is the point of asking three chefs who appear to be anti-meat/anti-science to comment on it?

Ignoring obvious issues (no utilites other than electricity in that $600/mo apartment, gas/car payment $150 -- suuure...
