i shouldn't jump to the conclusion that i had a vitamin e deficiency, at least not relative to current clinical standards. i haven't been tested. i understand that it isn't very likely, at least relative to current clinical standards. 

but the e has made a positive difference in a number of ways. i won't list them, but i'm noticing big differences after only a few pills. frustrating blemishes on my face that i was starting to worry were skin cancer are peeling off. i thought the glow was from estrogen, but i'm starting to think it's from vitamin e. that persistent annoying diarrhea, which i was tying to the stalkers drugging me, has cleared up.

the a came in the other day. i've taken 1.5 and am not noticing it yet. i would expect less obvious changes. the b is replacing the yeast, remember, and not a hike in much except b5 and b7, which weren't in the yeast. and i didn't take the yeast that frequently. i am feeling a little more awake, but i'm not sure yet.

i think a better analysis is that the rdi for vitamin e is currently too low.

i think that elliot might have underestimated how important their appearance was to their casting decisions, in their previous gender role. which must have been frustrating, certainly, but was nonetheless real.

it's not the elliot didn't transition convincingly. i don't think that's it.

is anybody making a movie about rivers cuomo?

note that i didn't say a young gilbert gottfried.

elliot page is wondering why nobody is calling with job offers.

maybe it's due to the eerie similarity to gilbert gottfried.

maybe they just aren't applying for the right jobs.

this was actually recorded in new jersey.

i really actually don't think this needs to be nearly as big a deal for canada as some would imagine

there's no doubt that we buy things from the americans, but we could replace them almost entirely with a combination of brazil and mexico, who together have roughly the same population. neither are substantively further away. the things we can't get from latin america, we could get from japan or europe, and both have substantive populations to sell into.

there's likewise no ambiguity that we need a market to sell things to, but the fear that the americans are going to stop buying is overblown. the selling point about the us is gdp, but it's gdp per capita in a grossly unequal society, and if canada stops buying us goods, the us gdp will actually cave in because they rely on us for their own sales. if we start buying our fruit from brazil and mexico instead - and pay attention at the store. we already have started. - the subsequent decrease in american gdp will undo their own propaganda as the us being this giant market. it's really not. it's 4% and it's overridden with extreme poverty.

i'm not convinced that brazil is a worse market than the us. as the us is also attacking them, we have a unique opportunity with the brazilians, as they can replace the us for us as a supplier of food (mostly), and we can replace the us for them as a supplier of finished goods. it's a great way to apply the theory of comparative advantage. we should be all over each other.

but i know that the budget juice i buy is sourcing from brazil nowadays. the mangos and grapefruits are from brazil. almost nothing is actually coming in from the us. this is happening because the transnational capital of walmart and loblaws opens up those supply chains. and the truth is the us is actually getting cut out.

we should be putting a specific focus on latin america.

these are the koppen climate zones here:

the snot green is humid subtropical, while the two shades of blue above it (detroit-windsor sits between the two shades of blue) are humid continental. the lower shade of blue is defined by hotter summers.

but as the subtropical zone moves north it swallows up st louis, detroit and chicago. it's only the smallest, most southernmost part of canada, but it's a place to enjoy the warmth.

i will reiterate my call to windsorites that don't like the weather: get lost. go to winnipeg, go to toronto, go to ottawa. leave this city for those that like the climate.

In recent history, Windsor has had about 22 days each year when the temperature gets up to at least 30 C. 

But if climate change continues unchecked, these very hot days will be more frequent, according to projections in a new report from the University of Waterloo's Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation. Windsor could see 30 C days 79 times a year by the 2050s. 

by my count, we've had 36 such days above 30 C so far in 2026. and we had a slow start to summer.

as mentioned, it rarely gets below 27 degrees from mid may to mid oct. that's no longer a barren frozen north. that's not even temperate anymore, that's subtropical. we're increasingly seeing hot days linger into november or december and starting as early as late february. the winters here now run cold but short from c. dec 20th to feb 20th and we get long bouts of spring in january and february. the cold comes in short, intense bursts.

a city where the temperature is above 20 degrees consistently from mar 1 to dec 1st, which is where we're going, is no longer one that people seek to escape due to the cold, but one that people seek to travel to to enjoy the warmth. windsor and the region should see that future and prepare for it.

the idea of windsor-leamington as a tourist destination makes some sense. we're surrounded by water. the weather here s beautiful for 6 months of the year, and growing. if that gets to 8 months, 10 months, it might be a high yield investment projection.

come to windsor to enjoy the humidity and play in the lakes. we've got trails for bicycling, fresh fruit off the trees and plenty of places to grab a beer.

note, however, that a ten degree boost in hudson's bay means -15 instead of -25. it doesn't make the land more useful. it doesn't open the northwest passage. it may make driving in the winter more annoying.

southwest ontario is becoming a rainforest and may end up as a subtropical tourist destination. but the bulk of southern canada, including the prairies, is going to get hit by this, while the north will see little benefit. optimistic predictions are not well-informed.

the areas we grow in today in canada are going to turn into the badlands of montana and wyoming and we can't just move north because we ruined the land with tar sand development.

we've already seen substantive warming here. i'd be surprised if detroit-windsor hasn't already hit 3 degrees celsius.
