Re: Peeling Potatoes

Rant warning!
Peel on?
We ate jacket potatoes when I was a kid. Only because every potato isn't a grocery store perfect specimen, and Mom wasn't wasting anything. And I hated the damn dirt tasting things.
Pap used to tell of a fellow worker eating away from the others, everyday. They finally figured out why. It was during the depression, the guy was eating vegetable peels because he left the good food at home.
Today, unpeeled potatoes are the fad. Everyone in the supply chain benefits, except the consumer paying for potato peels. But he is tickled. The expensive place he goes does this special thing!š¤£š¤£š¤£
He also loves his wedge salad. You know the one? They bring you a bunch of salad fixins on a plate and let you do your own food prep. With a scrappy knife, fork only, can't use hand there, while wearing your best clothes. All for the low price of $25 for an otherwise basic salad. The same one the Family Restaurants prepare for you for $8. And let us not forget the smug satisfaction that comes with leaving an exorbitant tip at the expensive place!

Re: The Federal Budget

I love the Idiot in Charge statement of fairness to all generations. He did the fairness on April 1 with the carbon tax and tax on alcohol. His handlers must be economic illiteriates if they think this is fair burdening future generations with this level of debit. Interest payments now exceed the previous deliberately underfunded federal taxpayer transfer payments to Health Care and use 100% of the GST collected. One thing for sure this mess is not one that can be blamed on the boomers. The young crowd voted this clown show in and now will have to pay the long term price. Today's article highlighting the personal investment gap to the US. We are each getting poorer every day / month this coalition government stays in power https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/top...ng-then-it-made-things-worse/ar-AA1ni794

Some random thoughts-
Her ass got protected and served!
If he worked for the IRS he could go after those organized crime syndicates, you know, like garage salers. And what about those girl scouts that sell cookies? You know they're skimming off the top. Get right on that. Justice is coming bitches!
He should add that video to his resume. Half the police forces in America would snatch an azzhole like him right up. Way more than half

Re: Ticks

Have pulled about half a dozen off me so far. It doesn't seem to matter whether I use repellant or not. Repellant such at DEET products on your skin and clothes? Or permethrin on your clothes? For years I used various Deet products on skin and clothes and would still get the occassional tick in spring turkey hunting or doibg yard work. Started using permethrin on clothes and stopped seeing them. Not sure if it repels them or kills them or both but it works. Also found it works great when sprayed on a shed door and shop window that used to get covered with box elder bugs and asian beetles. Find a bunch of them dead so it must kill them, suspect it does the same with ticks. (Cats dont seem to like it either.) Reminds me I need to treat my working in yard clothes with permethrin.

Re: Over Reach and Control

It also may be fire code issues
Commercial stoves are designed to have commercial fans/ventilation.
And require commercial extinguishers
BMR Ya I know about the Regs. I am what they call a Special Inspector and have been for 35 years now. When I put my Wood Stove in my Bedroom I built up in Arizona I put 1 inch of Durarock behind the the stove on 2 walls that will have some kind of tile or rock attached to it. I have a good friend up there that put the same brand of Commercial Stove in his home. He came over to help me with a project and I showed him my room. He freaked out and told me that he had never seen anyone put 1 inch of Concrete board behind a Wood Stove. Then he told me that he retired as a Forest Fire Safety Guy. I plan on doing the same thing behind this Stove in the kitchen I am building along with a fan vented Stove Hood. Think you and I came out of the same mold ! When I built my house only had help when I rough framed it in I did all the other work myself ! Wood stove put 1" Durarock behind the stove then put stone also on the floor put cement board then slate....building inspector came and would not pass the work HE wanted a commercially made fireplace NOT one I built....there is nothing in the Township or State building Code at that time outer than you must do set backs according to the manufacture .....when the Township was given Court papers that they were being Sued Head of the Building Department showed up the next day and gave me outside my home a Final Inspection never looked at the work passed and a refund check for the permit.... I have a Miele 8 burner commercial stove, refrigerator, under the counter refrigerator and dishwasher I bought from a wholesale store used a friends restaurants name didn't have a problem but they would only deliver to my attached garage not into the house....got tired of buying the junk sold every where else.... I built my 299sq. ft bedroom in my front yard here in Commyfornia. Code Enforcement was taking pictures thinking I was adding on to my home with no permit. The bedroom would be standing tall some days and them laying out of site from the street other days. Code enforcement was caught by my neighbor scratching their heads wondering where the addition went. I made it Sectional like a kit. Picket it up with an auto crane that I installed on my goose neck trailer and hauled the bedroom in 2 loads up to my place in Arizona. It took me a total of 2 days to have it up and roofed in Arizona. My wood Stove I built is to big for that small room and there was a learning curve on how big of a fire I needed. It has a 1/2" thick plate for the top because that is what I had on hand. It Pops Great popcorn on it. I also have a Funnel for the bottom with a 4" pipe running outside the room to clean the ashes. I picket up the Stove and put it inside the room with the crane before I put the roof on. I did all of this with no help from anyone. The only help I may have got was my girl holding the end of a tape The bedroom is now about 80% complete with knotty pine walls A/C Power , pressurized water (soon to have well water) , Large shower , Tank less Water Heater, Composting Toilet , Microwave , Coffee maker , Small Refrigerator/Freezer , Solar Power and a ceiling fan. All the work was done by myself No Code Enforcement and no BS Building Dept. At the time I built it Arizona did not require Permits for any building up to 300 sq ft. My Bedroom is 299 sq. ft, on the out side. I have a 120 sq. ft room that I will add on another 180 sq. ft for my Kitchen keeping it at the 300 sq. ft or less range so that I can tell Code Enforcement to get off of my property. I will have a Tile floor and have 1" Concrete Hardy Board and tile behind and around my Stove when I get everything all finished. That will be move than any Commercial cooking facility has for their fire protection. As a Building Inspector my self I have had to deal with these Azz Clowns for over 35 years and I want nothing to do with them when I leave Commyfornia for good.

Quebec
HughW
04/19/24
Maybe Trudeau in his bumbling is doing something right when Quebec is looking at separation again.
If Quebec leaves that would be a banner day for Canada Yes there would be a cost but the benefits to the rest of the country --- no more bilingualism, no more rape on transfer payments, no more laurentian elite
Personally I would not shed a tear. Pain would be worth the long term gain

Re: Amazon vs Home Depot

Some things never change. One of them is that it always pays to compare prices. Amazon makes shopping easy. I go there for info but often buy elsewhere. Amazon's prices aren't the lowest around.

Re: Cop roughs up an 18 year old female

YouTube is absolutely full of cop hating people. see lots of these videos where people won't roll the window down. tell the copy has no right to do blah blah blah. they're not getting out of the car they're not producing ID. and 90% of the time these people would be on their way in just a few minutes if they just gave a little courtesy and cooperation.
so many people are their own worst enemies. these youngsters watch these YouTube videos and see others doing this. so many of these videos are Cherry picked and edited. these kids are clueless. if you have a problem with something body and authority doing their job raise the question in court later not alongside the road in your car. not the time or place... He asked for ID and she was getting it. Why not get rid of dud cops like the ones related to the incident?

People need to speak truth to power. If more cops were getting beat down and smoked, we would have less problems in this country. Fight back. Don't comply. Put these pigs in their place.
