try looking up “squirrel cage fan”

it sounds like I’m joking but it is really what they are called.

I like an avocado sandwich with garlic salt. super tasty.

we are seeing a resurgence of New World Screwworms. We eradicated it in the US in 1966, however, we have since seen a resurgence. Basically we used sterile males to make sure no new worms would be born in the US but thats a big border, so we worked with Mexico and other north and Central American countries to push it down past panama. Unfortunately when republicans find out we are spending money fighting disease in other countries, they think why help them? and kill funding. So now we are going to have to spend a shitload more money to defend our wide ass border, rather than a fraction of the cost defending a natural border.

Risotto isn’t complex per se, but 20-30 minute of stiring/babysitting isn’t exactly easy.

I suspect most adults have some coping mechanisms built up so its often harder to separate out the basic problems. Children offer a ‘cleaner’ study, so that is what they focus on.

I have to say my 6 year old has a lot of symptoms. I started giving her melatonin to help her sleep and a lot of the behavioral issues have gotten a lot better.

I’m not trying to say its a cure all, but I was surprised how well it helps her sleep, and how many (I thought) unrelated issues have improved.

Oregon was founded as a whites only state https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_Oregon

Ice cold Barley tea is the best. I sometimes mix barley tea and iced-tea (black tea).

He is a moron to be sure, but crashes like this make opportunities for those with means to gobble up the big stuff cheap. Sure ground beef is expensive as fuck right now but I bet the wagu steak hasn’t changed nearly as much. Hell when the economy is going well the rabble want a taste of the good stuff. Better to keep them in their place.

The Fischer King came out a decade earlier, let along Awakenings, Goodwill Hunting… even Good Morning Vietnam was overall a very serious movie.

Check out F/X. It’s litterally about practical special effects. It’s been a long time but I remember liking it a lot. I wasn’t subscribed to Fangoria but my buddy was.

I was talking to someone about dead alive earlier this evening at my 8yo bday party. Such a classic.

“I kick ass for the LORD!”

Just pick Burmese, covers both. I’d probably choose that and Japanese.

Kids should be raised by their parents not by salaried strangers that don’t really give a fuck about them other than to earn their paycheck.

This is such a twisted mentality. My wife is a teacher. We have lots of friends who are teachers. From TK up through middle school. These people CARE. No one outside some truly scummy and rare substandard daycare places get into this simply for a paycheck.

So if you want to have a kid in this ideal society of yours, what happens? The party forces you to stay home, abandon your interests so you can devote all your time to raising proper party members?

We all need help sometimes. This is a generally good thing. I’m sure it will have flaws, like school lunch programs (the food is usually processed and nasty), it’s still better than not having it and it is a step towards recognizing we need to support eachother to make this work for everyone.

USB wall-wart

We got the kids tablets for long car rides too. We let them use them as a reward. PBS Kids games and Epic (books) are good compromises.

the desert to the east of San Francisco.

Lol what the fuck? I assume you are taking about California Forever but desert is a weird word to describe the Sacramento River delta. It is one of the largest estuaries in north america.

HOLY SHIT IS THAT A HEADPHONE JACK?!

Seriously this ticks boxes Ive given up on. I never thought Id see a phone with all three: waterproof, removable battery, headphone jack. It even has wireless charging which isnt really one of my boxes but is a little extra if you use it.

I didn’t get to get a lot of comics as a kid. I got punisher because they tended to be more insular. I borrowed friends/relatives Carnage comics but never got to finish the run. I couldn’t get into fantastic 4 partly because there were so many iterations, and some of those I would get the lecture of ‘well you really gotta start here and this references this story line from 5 years ago’.

Punisher was simple action and tended to have shorter story lines.

its really not, we just have cowards who are afraid of the word regulation running the government.
