I have that book, …somewhere.

1. New Orleans, Superdome, Katrina. - What went on in there, really. And within a mere day or two; truly, we are just animals wearing clothes.

2. Being a part of my own Government’s effort to deploy it’s “flagship climate program” worth a billion+ $. Realising, it’s just tax money that’s getting fed upon by industry, with very little actual effect. Also, seeing the climate data and its undeniability in regards to imminent collapse (5-7 y) combined with our utter lack of action.

A few others as well, but two come to mind quickly.

I am soured on humans. I have no faith in our species anymore.

AKA “a fart walk”

Literally, watching movie as I read this.

Kid’s about to get hit by Roy’s truck….

Stupid fucking kids.

Hi! Canada here, e we export s fair bit of quality bud, Bud ;)

Basically it says to me “Fuck your for being/showing/reminding me that you are smarter/more informed/more reasoned/more compassionate than me!”

Same applies to “woke”.

It’s how it’s said that speaks volumes.

If, and it’s a big IF, the electronic voting system software is legit.

So easy to do. Or, used to be.

With the soundtrack of Caravan of Fools, by John Prine.

Literally? Buy some heroin.

Aftermath might not be so good though.

The people buying and selling, and stealing your data.

Yes. 100% overused.

I applied in Canada to a Law Enforcement program with a past-secondary institution.

I was told by a VERY senior member of the force (family friend) that I was simply too smart for the rank and file and was consequently turned down. He said “…they don’t want people who will think for themselves and question their orders. The whole point is to have force who will follow the rules without question. You don’t fit that mold”. The “rules” in this case is really just the police culture, and status quo.

The man who told me this, rose to Police Chief of a Major Canadian city from uniformed officer. Retired now.

I believe him.

Dumb soldiers who apply force when told. That’s what they want, …mostly.

My understanding is fermented foods have good microbes in them. They are, essentially, alive.

If you pasteurize them, it kills off those communities. The heat won’t distinguish between good and bad microbes so it’s all dead after fermentation.

We pasteurize milk to kill the bad microbes (feacal colliforms, food poisoning, etc.) for mass production. It works well, …very well. It’s needed at that scale, period. But if you are looking for the living microbes, it can’t be pasteurized.

Microbes are dead, so …ya.

Most sauerkraut is pasteurized which, as I understand it, makes it not fermented anymore.

Maybe your wife is just a birch?

Uhhh… I’m gonna leave that typo, as is.

Yes. Maybe your wife is a tree.

Any soldier of worth I’ve ever known, …any true soldier, wouldn’t advertise their profession as such.

Wannabe.

Nothing more.

Blaine?

This whole thing reminds me of The Simpsons episode where Homer designs a car.

It feels like the big dipshit had a personal hand in the design decisions. Tesla: “Right behind you, X!”

I’d rather drive a fucking Gremlin.

I do that while talking a shit.
