maybe it’s the intergenerational poverty that’s the problem money simply matters too much. intergenerational wealth should at best be a nice bonus - the latest playstation, nice shoes, the latest clothes - not a requirement of putting food on the table

They use the cheap unreliable technology, because it’s unreliable. They get to save money, and claim inarguable evidence when the technology fails. You see this all over tech. There’s a cold calculation that cheap, crappy and unreliable is “good enough” when it means you can derive more profits out of it – as long as it’s not exposed as such in the courts.

Teriyaki sauce/marinade usually needs a ratio of 1 part soy, 1 part sugar, 1 part sake or water or dry sherry. The last part is what keeps it from getting too salty, diluting the soy.

Yep. Part of my country growing up. Was at the farm last week, doing some therapeutic burning ™. When things got a bit loose. Fortunately stopped the burn before it got to the fence line full of tumbleweeds. Which made the difference between using a garden hose and calling the volunteer fire department.

When I read that C&D blather, I thought “Bullshit. He didn’t write this himself. Someone else wrote that for him.” Punctuation? Coherent sentences? Words like “Skullduggery” and beginning a sentence with “Therefore”? Not enough use of “and”? The clincher for me was use of the word “Please.” However, I believe the evil intent behind, and clearly within, those words. I hope America doesn’t choose...
