The great thing, for most people, about a food being gross is that you don’t have to eat it. Is someone forcing you to eat olives? I mean, maybe you’ve just not tried fresh olives?

It’s both!

I did notice Altria / Phillip Morris were also in that list. :-(

Perhaps so, alas. And the rates of obesity and diabetes continue to rise. sigh.

Imagine how much plastic waste could be eliminated if we just boycotted these companies.

How do you feel about government backed currencies?

The outside.

Life is full of opportunities to learn. “Gotta learn something new everyday.” Here’s a bit more: There are about 6000 solitary bees that live on the NA continent. Most of them make small tunnels in the ground, and some carve holes in wood, e.g. trees, posts, etc. The ground dwelling ones on average go about 6 inches deep. So that woven plastic “landscape cloth” interferes with them. If they are beneath it when installed, they can’t get out. If they are above it they can’t make proper homes for their babies. Happy Spring!!

I prefer to vote early, by dropping my completed ballot off at the appropriate location.

Thank you O’ Cog for your toothy, spinny perspective!

So cars these days have anti-collision systems. One would think a million dollar boat, with millions of dollars in cargo, approaching a multimillion dollar bridge would have some sort of active sensing system to prevent a collision. That video shows the Dali strolling right into the support. It wasn’t a glancing blow, rather it was a direct hit. Either somebody f’d up big time, or major act of sabotage on US territory.

I’m not certain about rats specifically, and in humans the marijuana needs to be heated first before it will be psychoactive. If rats were eating marijuana, they’d probably want the seeds which are very nutritious. But marijuana grown for human consumption tends to not have a lot of seeds in it. So I’m with you, there’s some pilfering going on. Now, if one could train a nest of rats to enter the evidence room, and bring out MJ, then it would lower the amount of evidence to be brought to court. I’m just ‘spit balling’ here.

Huzzah! and furthermore, Here Here!!

Don’t Panic, Go Organic!

If he “privately expresses” an opinion, why then must we be bludgeoned by it? Can’t wait till I no longer need to know or care anything about #45.

This just in from WRPSA (World Rock Paper Scissors Association) a breakdown of different variations on the game: https://wrpsa.com/breaking-down-the-different-variations-of-rock-paper-scissors-played-across-the-world/

More or less like that regarding work. And on weekends it’s nice to go places, and/or have a vehicle to haul stuff. But that’s not everyday. So yeah, common ownership of a vehicle for roadtrips, and/or hauling stuff would be an elegant solution.

LoL, I must be living the ‘life of Riley’, then. My commute is less than a mile, and almost always by bike. And most of my errands, etc can be done by bike, as well. And yet the need for a car in our family is indeed extant.

Thanks, that’s helpful. I’m reluctantly considering purchasing a vehicle, possibly even relatively close to new. The ancient beater I drive when the bike won’t do the job isn’t subject to these issues, and might even be proof against an EMP. Tho’ where the hell I’d get petrol in a post apocalyptic landscape is an as yet unanswered question. lol. I like the idea of the ‘bells and whistles’ of modern conveyances, and do so much in other spheres to limit corporate access that it makes sense to consider how to minimize in the case of a more modern car.
