Life is short. Use the fancy olive oil and the special salt. Drink the expensive wine and the fine spirits you've been saving. Get out the nice plates you're worried will break. Buy the guillotine you've had your eye on. Stake out and learn the routines of billionaires. Blow that rainy day money on turning inside sources. Don't waste your life on what-ifs. Behead them all and let the revolution sing.
@danhon And don't forget the children! The revolution eats its children.
@danhon I might actually save that salt to rub into their raw neck-wounds
@danhon inciting violence? Is that against your TOS? 🤔
@dtwx beheading tyrants is not violence, it's praxis
@danhon
@danhon like this? Salmon and prawn tagliatelle with girolle and shallots in a crème beure sauce and a nice glass or two of a chilled Gironde white. My wife’s on holiday, while the cat’s away………..

@danhon

Ummm... I was with you initially, the guillotine gave me pause... then you lost me. You're a scary man Dan. 😂

@danhon frankly, this didn’t land where I thought it was going to, but I still love it!

@danhon @lisamelton I like the way you think, it is only a couple hundred self defense beheadings in the grand scheme of things.

Let’s fucking go people!

@danhon Thanks for not telling me to build that guillotine, my woodworking skills aren’t great. Knitting, now, I can Madame DeFarge with the best 😇
@danhon I mean some of these things are unfortunately very likely to make your life even shorter and/or significantly more miserable 😐
@danhon Good advice for people that have nice plates. I've never owned a nice plate in my life. You'd be much happier if you didn't waste your money on superficial things like fancy plates, custom cups, and the more expensive brands of silverware.
@danhon I want to be clear. I'm doing well. I make a lot of money. Way more than my wife. All I'm saying is that I've never owned a nice plate.

@replyguy @danhon Apt account naming! Commitment to persona noted.

I bought a lovely 7.5-place setting of fine china for $15 at an estate sale. Much happier than buying new cheap crap. Very happy to waste my money on fancy shit like cashmere second hand. Life is short, eh, don't short change yourself.

Also, much happier not moralizing over petty things.

@replyguy it's not 'bout having/owning nice plates. It's 'bout enjoying and using them (in your daily life). // @danhon
@danhon
Psst... There isn't any "special salt, " it's all NaCl, and it's all "sea salt." Anything that changes its color is a mineral contaminant.
@Nazani @danhon Pretty, tasty contaminants.
@Nazani @danhon to be fair, the "contaminants" are what makes the "special Salt" special, so I don't think you can call them contaminants. Also they probably still are salts, just not NaCl.
And not all salt is sea salt. You can also mine salt and there are also wells that have salt water.

@Nazani @danhon

Mine's contaminated with smoked ghost pepper and I love it. Especially good for adulterating rich chocolate ice cream.

@Mcdyer @danhon That actually sounds good. I get annoyed by people throwing their money away on Himalayan pink salt which just has traces of iron. Flaked & kosher salts do have their uses, of course.

@Nazani @Mcdyer @danhon

I once had a job working for a parking company in NYC. The owner's grip on reality was tenuous at best. He hired me specifically to translate his angry word salad into coherent elegant prose. He also had me research his bizarre business ventures, one of which was selling salts. He ordered me to look up health benefits of various cooking salts. I told him the same thing: salt is salt. He did not like that answer. I didn't last long in that job.

@Nazani @Mcdyer @danhon some of us like the flavor of the mineral contaminants, though, pal.
@adrienne @Mcdyer @danhon
"Pal?" 😜
Knock yourself out paying 10X what salt should cost; I actually cook with spices & other seasonings.
@Nazani @Mcdyer @danhon I mean, same? I still like the slight bitterness or metallic tang of particular salts sometimes! (Pink salt, no, but sometimes black salt and often sel de mer.)
@Nazani @danhon Tell that to guys in leather jackets that sell salts in Berlin’s Gorlitzer park
@Nazani @danhon I don’t disagree with you, but the ‘sea salt’ I brought back from France a few days ago is honestly the best I’ve ever tried…it was almost as if I predicted this post as I started cooking and baking with it straight away, while discussing how to bring the Revolution about with family.
@danhon "That was Thought for the Day with Maximillian Robespierre...."

@danhon

Beheading is not enough. #EatTheRich, the poor are tough and stringy.

@danhon well that came to a head really quickly!
@danhon Vive la République! 🇫🇷

@danhon Behead them all and let the revolution sing?

Don't waste your life on what-ifs! 🤷🏻‍♂️

@danhon We have something called a bagel guillotine in our kitchen. It slices through an "everything" like a sword through a French aristrocrats neck. It's a start ...
@danhon Vonnegut always did a great commencement address
@danhon let's not put off ploughing up the autoroutes. Life is too short.
@danhon I have questions about the guillotine…
@KimWitten @danhon
Do you need blueprints or design plans? Or are you having trouble sourcing the blade?
@danhon
#billionaires are delicious! They taste like chicken. 🍗
@danhon some friend of mine turned this into an inspirational image, I thought you would enjoy
