Hmm, I was somehow able to change the settings in 25-degree increments, but I don't recall how (and probably don't have the same model as you).

I, too, hate my Samsung appliances, but I found that I was able to adjust the thermometer in my oven and get it properly calibrated. Check the user manual for your model. I will never buy their products again, but at least this one issue was resolved.

I thought I knew the bloody saga of Frog Lake. Then I learned another side of the story A deadly encounter in 1885, between Cree warriors and settlers in Alberta, is part of my heritage. But a recent discovery has cast the events in a new light

Fortunately, Canada still includes Quebec, which is less prone to the dominance of the US culture spew that's taken over so much of the English-speaking world.

CARS & CANOLA: THE ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTIONS OF TWO TRADE-IMPACTED INDUSTRIES β€’ Trillium Network Understand how cars and canola drive Canada’s economy in the Trillium Network's 17th data bulletin.

Brendan Sweeney (quoted in my Driving.ca column today) at Trillium did an even deeper dive on the canola vs car thing, and the numbers being lobbed around by the canola industry in the headlines are even more misleading than we thought.

Headline: I’m a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It. Then it says "Never again" over an image of destruction in Gaza

What I fear is that in the aftermath of the Gaza genocide, it will no longer be possible to continue teaching and researching the Holocaust in the same manner we did before. Because the Holocaust has been so relentlessly invoked by the State of Israel and its defenders as a cover-up for the crimes of the I.D.F., the study and remembrance of the Holocaust could lose its claim to be concerned with universal justice and retreat into the same ethnic ghetto in which it began its life at the end of World War II β€” as a marginalized preoccupation by the remnants of a marginalized people, an ethnically specific event, before it succeeded, decades later, to find its rightful place as a lesson and a warning for humanity as a whole.

jesusfuckingchrist! "Concerts" will keep the baseball arena active outside baseball season.

Oh… you mean like at the football stadium? The hockey arena?

Maybe these teams should be pouring a little money into the arts seeing as their facilities apparently can't survive w/out "concerts".

If you're interested, a quick way to block knitting is to pin to shape dry, then pass a steaming iron over the fabric, being sure not to flatten the knit (gentle hover a couple mm high). The steam is all you need to set the stitches and shape.
