This may be an unpopular method, but we like it. We’ll just get a turkey breast or rarely a whole bird and cook it in a bag with a little broth, spices -usually garlic, pepper and lots of paprika. Punch a couple holes in the top of the bag and cook at 325-350F. Nice to have meat we can stretch into many meals over a couple weeks.

Read that as a Jeopardy response for some reason.

Yeah! I’ve got several. Broadens the selection nicely. Also, my local library doesn’t have Hoopla, but the larger city in a nearby state does and was very cool about letting me get a card since I live in the boonies.

Is that a strip of LED’s on the edge of their desk? What is the purpose of lighting one’s belly? No judgement. Just curious.

Kurt Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle might not explain it, but could add valuable context.

No. That is Gordon Froman, Sausage king of Chicago.

Monty Python has led me to expect Spam.

“Baked beans are off.” “Could I have Spam instead…”

I have a 14 year old laptop running Linux Mint that I use daily. Sure, it’s had the HD and the battery replaced, but it’s still fine for most tasks. An SSD really improved performance.

He is NOT getting better on the drums.

I feel like this might be an homage to the old online comic Minus.

I can’t quite see the skin. Maybe it’s a carefully scooped out avo half? I’m just wishfully speculating here.

Lugosi? Fleck? Bartok? Enquiring minds want to know…

Pressure cooker. Lets you cook a lot of cheaper, bulk food faster.

A quality double-sided safety razor. Saves a ton on cartridges. About as easy to use once you get used to it.

Our digestion of unprocessed foods improved with the addition of some fermented foods that maybe tuned up our gut biomes. Milk kefir in particular is a diverse probiotic and is easy to make yourself at room temperature on a kitchen counter.

Yeah. I was compelled to go cold-turkey off processed foods a couple decades ago for dire matters of health. I know it’s not possible for everyone, but for me it was utterly necessary and vastly improved the quality of my life.

Everybody’s now talking about satiety because it’s the mechanism of these popular GLP-1 drugs. I’ve been trying to tell folks about it for 25 years. It was literally the key for me to losing ~120 lbs and keeping it off. I resolved diabetes, hypertension and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease -and vastly improved other issues that were making me miserable.

The bottom line was an awareness that what I eat now has a direct and powerful effect on how soon and how much I’ll be compelled to eat later. I began to weight my choices towards the low-caloric density, the low glycemic and high-fiber. This of course also means mostly dumping processed foods.

I realize there is privilege in being able to do this and even devote the time to untangling health puzzles, I was fortunate to have the situation and support to do it.

I guess my point is that given resources it’s at least possible to game your own satiety without being dependent on expensive drugs. No argument at all that the quality of what folks now regard as staple food is lousy and in fact calculated to cause overconsumption, illness.

Loved the idea that outer space is full of Australian Muppets.

I wish they would maybe capitalize the proper nouns in this post. On first readings, not knowing Astronomer is the name of a corporation, I thought they were just referring to a CEO that also happened to be an avid stargazer -“What a strange detail to include…”.

Thinking about how low these folks usually go, I’m wondering why they haven’t just worked up a fake hatchet job file selectively incriminating their enemies and exonerating themselves. It possibly wouldn’t matter if it were called into question by evidence of tampering. Their devotees are indoctrinated enough to swallow almost anything -especially if it reinforced their biases against people they’ve already been trained to hate. What fallout are they afraid of in releasing a doctored list? I’d wager this will be the eventual outcome. A fake file that most know to be fake, but will mollify his base.
