we are the sum total of what we have been. If I had made different choices who knows where or whom I would be. I like where I am and who I have become so I must have taken the right path to be me.

Time to brew up a batch of hot sauce.oh shit what have I done? I love eating Habanero Peppers, and having Ghost Pepper salsa. I grew both peppers this year, they hybridized. I have Frankenpeppers. I took small nibble of one of my fresh picked Habaneros peppers. Napalm just got lit off in my mouth. The heat was so intense I spit it out, that never happens with Habaneros. Thankfully I didn't swallow or my throat would have been burned. Mouth and tongue on fire, nose running eyes watering. It took 5-6 spoonful's of ice cream to dampen the burn.
I have over 200 peppers on 6 plants

Soon, I only have 20 ripe habaneros, but I am up to over 300 not ripe Habanero pods, 1 ripe Ghost Pepper and 60 not ripe Ghost Pepper pods
Going on her size, I think Kelly Clarkson has eaten Frank Azar.
This video brought me great relief. 2 months ago I cleared a bunch of brush and de-limbed a tree with a machete. I was swinging that tool for over an hour. The next day I did a couple mtb rides. Wrist has been fubared ever since. Mild sprain symptoms and pain throughout the base of my wrist that has persisted for months. I finally came to the idea that a carpal bone may be out of alignment.
BOOM! Watched this video and did all the steps. I felt movement in my hand and felt relief instantly. Hand actually feels better everyday now. Still tender but not the same as before.
Miracles I tell you, miracles!
I wonder how many farms have been sold to developers who build a neighborhood of modern farmhouses on that land. 
Oh that's really a thing here in Argentina. Gentrification via private development is living its best moment down here.I wonder how many farms have been sold to developers who build a neighborhood of modern farmhouses on that land.
The irony is those barb wired developments are now called "rural towns"

Pray for us, fellow monkeys. For some assholes from the far right want to send us back to the Inquisition times.
But he's an Economist!! Shall we start referring to Argentina as "Galt's Gulch"?Argentina election: front runner vows to slash science funding

He's not even ane economist. It's just a clown who plays some excerpts from Rothbard, Misses and other Libertarian assholes on repeat, as if they were religious mantras.
So we *can* start referring to Argentina as "Galt's Gulch."
And so it shall be done...
You mean for Galtieri?

how to people endlessly give me shit about using windows 7?How do people function and work with Windows 10/11 and not shrink or get rid of the search bar on the task bar?
Commercial truck drivers have gotten worse at driving. I know it.
Sorry my bad, I sent that via telegraph. Something always gets lost in translation.
I went out of my way to install clippy on windows 7
I find clippy very helpful
And I don't need to search for my own damn files and programs

It's funny how hard new furniture tries to look/feel like real wood yet consistently manages to miss the mark. You ain't fooling this guy.
I hope they do ban this stuff-

A new report has called for a ban on all engineered stone in Australia, but governments will not make any changes until they decide on a "national response".

As the silica comes from the natural rock in engineered stone I don't see how it would be any different that actual natural stone. Other than perhaps a larger workforce and a poor understanding of statistics.
From an NPR interview (https://www.npr.org/2023/07/24/1189831430/stone-countertop-workers-are-getting-sick-and-dying-due-to-exposure-to-silica-du):
"But compared to granite or marble, quartz contains a lot more of the mineral silica."
And
"Now, work sites can control silica dust with ventilation, sprays of water and proper masks. But California's workplace safety agency says it looks like most countertop fabrication shops in its state are not complying with federal silica rules."
So it's not an issue with the material, but rather companies not taking precautions to safeguard their workers from a known risk with known mitigations. Got it.
Color me surprised.

I drove by a house recently where a team of 3 dark skinned guys was building a granite wall. I only mention that they are dark skinned because they were all covered with enough stone dust to look whiter than a founding father's wig, with nary a mask in sight.
I just realised that I didn't buy track saw clamps when I went to the hardware store, it's annoying as that's what I went to get.
A staffer saw me with spray lube and told me how many lubes he had at home then told me I had to try CRC something something.
I was confused, slightly scared and completely forgot about buying clamps, crap!
