For all of them, I just put the seeds/nuts in a blender and blended them and bashed them with the tamper until they turned into a non-Newtonian fluid. The sunflower seeds and pistachios were already roasted and salted, and the peanuts were already roasted and I added a bit of salt and honey.

You need a powerful blender with a tamper for this, though: I have a Vitamix 5200 I bought off Kijiji (because new ones are extremely expensive).

I found that the peanut butter in particular was not really worth it: 1 kg of peanuts seemed to be roughly the same price as a 2 kg jar of peanut butter.

Not below decks where you'll most likely be sleeping (in close proximity to multiple other warm, sweaty, stinky sailors), I suspect.

Too bad you don't get paid for it (in fact, you have to pay for it yourself).

I've tried making peanut, sunflower seed, and pistachio butter before. Ironically, the peanut butter was my least favourite. The pistachio butter was nice, but I'd rather just eat the pistachios. So the winner is the sunflower seed butter.

Do you have at least one functioning one?

 

When I was in high school, I volunteered for a couple of days in a special ed class, which, I guess by definition, contained people with sub-100 IQ (sub-70, even). I guess that fits your specifications. One thing I remember observing was that the girls were more capable of stringing together coherent sentences than the boys.

Also, a couple of years ago, I worked as a school bus driver for 3 months while looking for a tech job. There seemed to be much more variance in intelligence among my colleagues than I was used to: some seemed to be just as smart as most of the ones in my previous tech jobs, but others, while they were generally nice enough, seemed to fail to grasp basic concepts or retain information very well during the training.

Still the same.

My observation is that the Canadian travel advisories site generally seems to be updated in a timely manner. Very soon after Trump's invasion of Iran, for example, multiple Middle Eastern countries, including the UAE, were marked as "Avoid all travel" or "Avoid non-essential travel".

The fact that they mark the US as lower-risk than multiple European countries that I would consider much safer definitely lowers my trust in them, though.

According to the site, it was last updated 2 days ago.

The Canadian travel advisories site claims that it is generally safe to travel to the US: https://travel.gc.ca/destinations/united-states

Frankly, I think they are bullshitting because of Canada's diplomatic position with the US.

Isn't FIFA panicking right now because of greatly decreased hotel bookings?
