Cool. Hope ya make it. Where’s yer fuckin’ helmet? [and flack vest for that matter- pretty sure rusty shrapnel can’t be good for ya]

but CHINA! 

“With Samsung and Huawei making folding phones, which are essentially foldable versions of the iPad Mini, there’s a time for Apple to make a big bold statement. Only Apple chose to carry ahead on, offering the most modest of refreshes.”

heh gringo- next time give somebody like this a call: https://sanidentalgroup.com/blog/mexico-dentist-prices/

this is the unintended consequence of years of cannabis disinformation and federal refusal to allow impartial research [full disclosure- I gave up doing cannabis over 20 years ago] which we now know was a racist and anti Leftist engendered policy. Now it has become exceedingly difficult to sift out the seeds n stems-…

ah- good - “your grand kids will all die without a chance to have their grand kids”.... see. fixed it.... [unless ‘imortle’ means something other than ‘immortal’....]

I liked CT. I liked them , their irreverence, their allegiance to old time public radio and liberal values without getting all screechy and too earnest. I liked that they got asked by their MIT chums at NASA about the best way to winterize a Martian Rover. That they helped many erstwhile intellectuals discover that…

When one of my most un-funest clients went bat shit insane right as the last payments were due on the custom home we were building for her, she decided to bring in her West Coast Lawyer boy friend to lean on me. I suggested he and I meet and take a walk by the creek to iron things out . Right as I drove to our…

yep- just a perpetual cycle of self entitled violence rationalized by completely unproven “theories” about what is effective. That’ll go a long way towards evolving a healthy society.... sheesh.

yeah- I’m thinking Adam Smith never thought that capitalism would spawn such a level of death dealing money grubbers but it kinda feels that’s really the end game of this “system”... once advertising/hype got beyond “sex sells” and into “but fear REALLY sells” it was a done deal- the lemming ending .

wait- so you’re saying all these folk are money grubbing grifters?....kinda like the fraud perpetrated by Mr. Andrew Wakefield to start all this horseshit “industry”???? goodness gracious. my stars. drat. oh drat.

one of my few lucky breaks in life was buying my first cell in one area code and then moving to a different area code but holding on to my old number...lets me glance and immediately delete most calls- mind you, their algorithms are slowly figuring it out....they’re closing in on me....THEY ARE IN THE HOU...

so lemme get this straight- propose to do some broad sweeping planet wide action that might harm  a few so that the many will live and likely benefit?....hmmmm.... Can’t we just kill all the rich and/or stupids and accomplish the same thing? .....Is there a down side?

I finally put in a solar power system large enough to run a “real” 110v kenmore refrigerator. “All” I had to do was remove the 50's era Servel propane powered frig that rancher dude Lee and I had likely lost a nut each bringing it into my house- back when we were much much brawnier. Those old Servels weigh in at…

it IS frustrating- my loaded 05 GMC duramax [180k miles]seems plenty strong motor and trans wise- but, living at the end of 5 miles of dirt means it gets rattled - those wonder gadgets don’t hold up ....I’ve already been into the dash once to resolder resistors that allow me to see PRNDL lights in the daytime- now the…

that green four door posing as the drummer- that’s the one I learned to drive in....freedom’s just another word for not caring how shitty your road machine is...

Major props for this article !!! That took some definite stamina to track those threads. And really does shed light on this fuzzy grasp of reality stuff that drives me fuckin’ crazy.......I always find myself asking “how much of this shit do the Bannon’s et al REALLY believe and how much just feeds their egos and bank…

My research biologist and ecologist friends would often ask ourselves this same question when out camping/fishing. So when the PLOS One study of collapsing insect populations in Germany came out in ‘017, I asked them their reactions. One email response: “We are well and truly fucked”....

My biologist and my ecologist friends and I have had a long running conversation during many camping / fishing trips as to which report will be THE ONE that indicates we have gone past the tipping point. When the German insect study came out a few years back that showed a recent crash in their 30 year historic insect…

I can tell you- I would. Way over 10% of my construction company profits went back into my employees- from matching retirement to opening college accounts for their kids to cutting 5 figure xmas bonuses- ....  because thats what compassionate people do.  And yeah - I tip 20-30% EVERY meal.   For the same reason....…
