Yeah, having access to a stone mill has been amazing for some things. Fresh sesame paste, peanut butter, etc. I wish I could afford one of those things!

PB: I make my own using the stone mill that a neighbour has.

Bread: If I can find a good “roggenbrot” I go with that. (A dense sourdough rye.)

Preparation: single-side toast the bread in a frying pan. Smear a not-too-thick layer of peanut butter on both sides. Add almost paper-thin slices of banana to separate the halves when put together, and to help prevent that protein sticking to the roof of the mouth thing.

Or “#notallmen” – as women we don’t really care that it’s #notallmen, the fact of the matter is that because it’s enough men, it’s #yesallwomen; whereas to men this sounds like an accusation.

It kinda is.

Because while not all men commit assault on women, it is very close to all men who let anti-woman rhetoric, “jokes”, and general behaviour slide.

You don’t have to be committing the crime to be accused of (and prosecuted for) abetting it.

Well, I used quicklime on it before burying it, only to find out later that quicklime isn’t very effective at conce…

Oh. MY body. Not a body. My bad.

I banged up my knee hiking once. It hurt and was a real pain in the ass to get back to civilization. But after a few days it was feeling OK, so I didn’t bother seeing a doctor.

About a dozen years later I’m in the hospital for orthoscopic surgery to fix up a torn meniscus that has, over that time, actually worn an extra groove in one of the bones.

OK, let’s put it this way since the meme didn’t register:

Fuck. Off.

Was that clearer? I mean seriously, fuck the fuck right fucking off. You’re literally saying that a literal matter of taste is “wrong”.

Fuck. Off.

Fuck the fuck right fucking off.

I know, right? It’s an absolute nightmare of a fungus.

Here they use it as medicine. 🙃

The best deodorant in the world is dirt cheap and more effective than any commercial one pushed by the “beauty” industry. What is it? It’s alum powder.

I can buy alum powder for about a buck for about a pound. (5.5RMB per 500g to be precise.)

That much alum powder will last me several years as a deodorant. Of course I have some added expenses. I need to get a spray bottle, for example. That’s an extra 50 cents and will outlast the alum powder.

You could probably stop here, but hey, let’s splurge and go fancy! Let’s get a funnel and a measuring spoon too!

The small funnel plus all of those measuring spoons adds up to a bit over a buck. Again, these will outlast your alum powder.

So for an initial outlay of $2.50-$3 you have five years of long-lasting, completely scent-free deodorant. (You can also spray gamy clothes with it to neutralize the scent for a few hours.) After that every five years or so you spend a buck to get your next five years’ supply. It is a bit more complicated to use than regular deodorant sprays though. Every two weeks or so you’ll have to measure a bit of the alum crystal into the funnel and wash it down into the bottle with warm water until it’s full, leaving it to sit a while to dissolve.

I have had dozens of scotch samples over the years from the kinds of people who, like you, insist that I’ve just “never had the good stuff”. The range of prices has been from bottom-shelf as you said to stuff that there’s no way in Hell I could ever afford.

I hated them all.

Is it really that hard to comprehend that sometimes people just don’t like what you like? I’m getting a lot of this vibe from scotch fans here:

and I’ve personally warned about the problem for almost 20 years.

You and me both. 😟 Even as I was hearing the jackboots marching closer and closer from around the corner, friends would tell me that I was overreacting and overthinking things. Friends who are now panicking because they’re somewhere that can be actually hurt by the USA tearing itself apart from within (Canada).

Is anybody at all genuinely surprised that Kaptain Ketamine is a hypocrite?

I’ll bet you he’d also fire anybody who tested positive for ketamine…
