(Part 3) Top products from r/ottawa

Most of the dogs come up from the US to groups locally, although possibly not directly in Ottawa. I used to have a retired racer, but that was in Vancouver and we drove down to Washington to pick him up. You could try flagging down an owner as someone suggested, or contact some of the local rescue groups http://www.adopt-a-greyhound.com/info.html or http://www.gracanada.com/. You can expect a bit of a process in adopting, as the groups will likely want to do a house visit and you would go through a meet-and-greet to get to know potential dogs before adopting. I totally recommend adopting a retired racer, but as with any breed, you have to look at your lifestyle and see if that type of dog fits. This book is a good primer, but the basis of it is that greyhounds are super calm, very sweet, and very sensitive, which is great, but the flip side of that is that they can have separation anxiety (so if you are out of the house 10+ hours at a time, it won't work well) and aren't as "dog" like as people are expecting, a lot of people are surprised that they have to always be on a leash unless it is a completely fenced in area. They pretty much want to sleep most of the day (preferably near you) and despite what people think, they are very low energy, but bringing them to an enclosed area to run briefly and some walks is all it takes. Good luck :)

I'd like to recommend a great book. It might help us get over this truck driver, the car that followed the truck and the hilarious reaction and disbelief caught in the video.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life https://www.amazon.ca/dp/0062641549/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_Dte0Db4FVBACN

> Women are statistically more likely to depend on their husband's wealth because (surprise surprise you moron) WOMEN MAKE LESS MONEY.

Hypergamy

> A woman with no money of her own is either homeless or somebody's wife. If she's convicted of a crime it's usually because she was an accomplice.

Married women don't have agency or free will, then? Okay. You're also forgetting that women have priority in social housing queues, especially if they have kids. All kinds of unmarried women, with or without kids, in geared-to-income social housing. Oh, I get it. Leaving a criminal's house to spend a couple months in a shelter before getting her own place just isn't an option. Better to have the criminal buy you shiny things, then play stupid or fake-cry in the courtroom than have morals, I guess.

> employment status of the husband in a relationship is the single outsize factor in predicting divorce.

Husband is required to be breadwinner, to maintain the hypergamous status of the relationship, and is disposed of as soon as this is lost. So far, you're doing a great job of upholding traditional gender roles, and positioning women as the weaker sex who can't make their own decisions. Well, aside from the part where the woman keeps half or better of the assets in a divorce, and bleeds the rest out through alimony and/or child support.

> You may find a screenshot from /pol/ or an article on Breitbart that claims to disprove it, but adults have accepted the wage gap is reality.

Nice Drumpfy Drumpf poltard projection. Here's a whole book by an adult.

> peer-reviewed study

I've seen enough of RealPeerReview to know that "peer-reviewed" in the social sciences doesn't mean shit. American Association of University Women? Yeah, no bias there. I like the part where their CEO is a fucking white male, though.

So, literally stop. I'm embarassed for you when you simultaneously cry about the "wage gap" and expect it to persist for your benefit.

Buy a book, do it at home for the rest of your life for free.

Spend the money you saved on healthy tacos and organic beer.

Dragon Reborn by Robert Jordan. (Book 3 in the Wheel of Time series)

Kinda late to the party with this series but a friend recently recommended it and I can't put it down. Buckle in though as it's a 14 book series.

The butter chicken starts out as tandoori chicken, which is marinated for a few hours and then roasted.

After that, you simmer it in a tomato sauce for a while, and lastly add cream.

Point is: butter chicken takes some planning.

This book is one of my favorite cookbooks. Worth finding if you want to make Indian-restaurant-style food.

I know you already mentioned you wanted more than what you can get from books, and a live teacher is the best bet.

However, I have learned more about theory from a book called Chord Progressions for Songwriters than from any lessons I've taken throughout the years.

Read Traffic by Tom Vanderbilt. He explains it in depth along with lots of other issues with modern traffic systems. Awesome book

I have:

They are yours for free if you want them. Just collecting dust on my shelf.

This shouldn't surprise anyone... people have been here for thousands of years, and they used the rivers as their highways.

A great read: http://www.amazon.ca/Before-Ontario-The-Archaeology-Province/dp/0773542086

If you are interested by this video, I would highly recommend the book Traffic. It is aimed at a layperson, and it touches on this and other sometimes counterintuitive concepts in Traffic. It is actually a really good read with a lot of academic sources (although they are just listed at the end of each chapter without direct citations).

The hook of the book: is it better for traffic flow if, when faced with a lane that will soon end, you merge over as soon as you can, or wait until the lane ends? (Spoiler: either works as long as everyone agrees, but no matter what, late merging is more efficient).

The synopsis says a lot more about it so I'll copy paste it:

>In this brilliant, lively, and eye-opening investigation, Tom Vanderbilt examines the perceptual limits and cognitive underpinnings that make us worse drivers than we think we are. He demonstrates why plans to protect pedestrians from cars often lead to more accidents. He uncovers who is more likely to honk at whom, and why. He explains why traffic jams form, outlines the unintended consequences of our quest for safety, and even identifies the most common mistake drivers make in parking lots. Traffic is about more than driving: it's about human nature. It will change the way we see ourselves and the world around us, and it may even make us better drivers.

And that I think rather highly of myself. So I read books on military and diplomatic doctrines to help reinforce that hubris. Things like this.

Wherever you go, I suggest you buy this book.

It completely changed my approach to owning and training a dog. My wife and I followed it to the letter and our Golden was the most obedient dog any of my family or friends had ever seen.

Back in high school I used an old version of Sams Teach Yourself Java in 21 days and found it useful in learning to code and java.

Greg Weston wrote a book called The Stopwatch Gang. Likely out of print by now. If I recall correctly Mel Gibson’s production company had optioned it but there was no film produced.

Edit: Amazon link, although I’m sure Billy Ray Valentine would prefer you bought local: https://www.amazon.ca/Stopwatch-Gang-Greg-Weston/dp/0771591365

> It is very well documented that many women on social assistance (including many junkies and alcoholics) make a business out of having kids.

Quite the opposite. When the US introduced the 'family cap' on benefits, there was no significant change in babies born to mothers on welfare.

Repeated studies show no correlation between benefit levels and women’s choice to have children. (See, for example, Urban Institute Policy and Research Report, Fall/93.) States providing relatively higher benefits do not show higher birth rates among recipients. etc; you're clearly not going to start reading actual books about social policy, so at least Google it before pretending to know about it.

"Read up on Cycle [sic] of poverty, it has been well researched" makes no sense here; generational poverty does not have anything to do with the myth that poor mothers have children to get state aid. Promises I Can Keep: Why Poor Women Put Motherhood Before Marriage is an excellent read should you ever be arsed to crack a book.

Nice contribution.

Read a damn book so you won't be so embarrassingly ignorant next time the topic comes up.

My bookshelf for cooking includes:

• The Flavor Bible
  
• Professional Cooking
  
  I am well beyond your average home cook but I hate dealing with the cleaning up, I'm not cooking for anyone but myself and dealing with getting groceries is just a pain & a combination of laziness on my part.
