  • It would be paleolithic no? (Assuming it even makes sense to apply the three ages system to the Americas). Potatoes were domesticated sometime between 8000 and 6000 BCE making it one of the first crops cultivated in the region. Nevermind the fact that the wild ancestor of the potato was probably consumed long before domestication.












  • In the Pays d’en Haut Anglo settlers were moving in, French forts were rapidly expanding and militarizing, and both colonial powers were jockeying for Indigenous allies and exclusive trade partners. And in Acadia the oaths issue was still unresolved and considerable swaths of the country that France ‘ceded’ to Britain was under the control of the French-allied Wabanaki.

    Another war was inevitable, Washington just lit the powderkeg.


  • Finally! All of this could have been avoided if when it gave its remedy, the court actually cared to assess if PCEPA was an acceptable replacement to what was struck down in Bedford. Like the court said “you have six months to pass new legislation”, the Harper government just reintroduced the restrictions that the court struck down, and then the court went “ehh we can just look at it in a decade or so once it bubbles up from the lower courts”








  • There’s the peritoneum which lines the abdominal cavity.

    It’s got a bunch of blood vessels to exchange chemicals so it’s common to do kidney dialysis right into the abdominal cavity instead of the blood directly. Unlike hemodialysis, the machines can be taken home and operated by the patient.

    And in vaginoplasties when they don’t have enough tissue to do just a penile inversion, they can now pull through the peritoneum to help construct the vaginal canal instead of doing a colon graft.
