WhyNot, it’s a perfectly cromulent Irish-American meal, so have at it. Enjoy!
Those names differentiate between the subspecies. All the subspecies of the Canada goose have Canada in the name. Dusky Canada Goose, Interior Canada Goose, Atlantic Canada Goose, etc.
Oh, I did. I really really did. It was thin sliced lean corned beef with mashed potatoes, cabbage and swiss cheese wrapped in a giant potato pancake, and a creamy horseradish sauce and crispy fried shredded potato bits as garnish.
Hey…three forms of potato on one plate is pretty authentically Irish, even if corned beef isn’t. 
I live in Canada and nobody here calls them “Canadian geese.”
You probably just call them “geese” 
I believe the scientific name is “those fucking shit-factory geese”.
Far more accurate, IMO. A friend is employed by the city to allow her well-trained collie to “discourage” the geese from nesting alongside the paved pathways in our parks. She catches a lot of flack from animal lovers, but the dog never actually touches the birds, just charges and barks enthusiastically. Last summer a furious goose feeder began threatening and cursing at my friend who whipped out her phone to document the harassment. The attacker swung an open-palmed haymaker but slipped and fell before she made contact. What caused her to slip? You know.
It was justice. Justice made her fall.
Those fuckers have invaded the Air Force Base I work at. I would ring their necks if it were allowed.
To address the OP, I am amazed at how many of my friends and coworkers believe certain foods are “bad” for them. Many believe GMOs are evil and only buy “organic” produce. Some believe they’re allergic to MSG, and that the consumption of diet soda is a direct contributor to obesity and tooth decay. :rolleyes:
Many people who want to write a picture book think that they need to find an illustrator for it. In most cases, that’s not true. The publisher would rather choose the illustrator.
Hmmm… so you do, what? Rough sketches? Describe concepts? Let someone else run wild with your ideas?
I just tell the story, and the illustrator does what he or she thinks best. (Mostly, I write stories and poems for children’s magazines, and the same rule applies.)
On the very rare occasions that my story doesn’t make clear what’s going on in the illustration, I will make a separate note for the illustrator.
wring.
I have a friend who has a goose-harassment business. Uses Border Collies and Aussies to disturb the Canada Geese enough that they leave. Cities, and large corporations with “parks” hire her. She’s in Indiana. Apparently business is booming.
Sorry, I don’t get the rolly eyes.
Diet sodas may confuse brain’s calorie counter
Yeah, and then there’s this
Telling a wetback from an ice back… Ain’t hard.
In the same vein, “anorexic” is NOT a synonym for skinny. Many people can be skinny and still have healthy eating habits. And malnourished people are not necessarily skeletal. Using the term anorexic to mean skinny makes light of a serious, life-threatening mindf8ck of a disease. It’s something I would never wish even on my most hated enemies.
But they were both fucking awesome.
I don’t know if you’re talking strictly about computer science here, but von Neumann made numerous important contributions in a host of subjects including theoretical physics and pure mathematics. For the sake of brevity I won’t repost the 80 different things wikipedia says he is “known for”, but it’s a pretty staggering array of topics.
But even limiting the discussion to computer science, his contributions are extremely well regarded. The fact that a biographer claimed he “borrowed from anybody” does not amount to saying “he stole most of his best ideas”. Honestly, I don’t know anyone familiar with von Neumann’s work who thinks of him as anything less than an extremely productive genius.
The misconception: The press often refer to " oxygen tanks" when writing about scuba diving.
In reality breathing pure oxygen would put a diver at extreme risk of oxygen toxicity, seizure, and death on anything but the shallowest of depths. Divers generally breath just plain air which has been dehydrated and compressed. Occasionally air with a little extra oxygen added (up to a concentration of no more than 36% oxygen normally) is used.
