54 I watched the movie Queenpins which is a comedy loosely based on a real group of women that were counterfeiting coupons.

The movie wasn't great...though one thing that was funny is the government calling out a swat team to arrest the counterfeiters. Haha like they need a full swat team with APCs to arrest them right?

And...I read the real story and actually...the government really did that.

110 102 Long before there was a Vandenberg Space Force Base, it was the site of the worst peacetime loss of ships in US Navy history. On September 8, 1923, nine destroyers ran aground with 7 of them sinking. 23 sailors died. Cause was mistaken navigation in bad weather.

150 It was a dark and stormy night. Seriously, it was. A convoy of about a dozen destroyers was making a high speed run from San Francisco. They were traveling in a tight "follow the leader" formation. The convoy leader thought they were 20 miles further south than they actually were, and they were about to go past the entrance to the Santa Barbara channel, their destination.
The convoy leader signalled for a hard turn to port, which should have sent everybody into the channel. Instead, almost all of them crashed into the shore.

160 My understanding is, if if you are from the south, you called them crawdads. if you’re from the mid Atlantic or other border regions, you called them crawfish. Crayfish is definitely a northern term or on the coasts.

I like them too, but unless it’s a crawfish boil, they’re not many chances of having them on a regular basis. I think it’s a stretch to compare them to a real lobster, but they are a great way to drink beer and say you’re having a regional culinary experience.

In PA you could get two deer year total back in the 80s by law. Most states now have very few limits at all for legal hunters as long as they’re obeying the law, and doing what the state conservation agencies want them to do. Most places are overrun with deer and other game. They even pay to take them out near urban areas because the people there don’t have the skills or guts to hunt.

206 Cajunfest was an annual summer bash in which I would order 30 lbs of boiled crawdads packed in a block of ice shipped from a place called Deanies in Bucktown, LA. Made a big pot of gumbo while my buddy Stevo served up his jambalaya. The crawdads went down like peel-and-eat-shrimp. Good times...

222 215, depends if the cook is skilled at cooking shrimp or grits. I chuckle when people say they “Hate” grits, It is like saying, you hate starches. Chances are somewhere in your culinary life you ran into a bad cook.

Some will look down on shrimp and grits yet pay $40 for shrimp and polenta. The only difference being a couple of letters.

Look we all like alike. I’m not going to go after someone over that. I prefer shrimp and garlic oil or as the Spanish say gambas al alíeoli. But it is funny the hate grits gets, When half the northern Italian and Mediterranean restaurants out there will sell you the same thing under another name

227 213, I started losing weight when I started adding fat to my meals. Fat is satiating, it balances the meal and keeps you from getting Hungry again. Same with carbs, there is a place for them in every meal in my opinion. It is better to eat something you like and then move on with your business then it ever is to listen to a nutritionist. It was just writing the same clap trap over and over with no new ideas and no one ever challenges them on that BS.

Again, I lost a ton of weight like 80 pounds just by adding fat to my diet. And I did cut out our carbs because there wasn’t any good reason to do that thing.

230 As I progress along my path of culinary education the thing that impresses me the most is how to scale up food preparation. I cook for 3 or 4 persons daily. But then I read recipes on how to cook for 20 or so and I am very impressed. Phil from Duck Dynasty once published his gumbo recipe to feed 50 and I can't even wrap my mind around it. Any recipe that requires 6 pounds of okra is amazing.

240 That's funny. I grew up partly In Sacramento area and always knew them as crawdads. When I worked a job seining tiny fish in the river later in life, we'd occasionally catch them as well. Weeding them out was comical as they tended to take the tiny fish hostage.

Saw this and had to look up the name of the creek I first encountered crawdads in. Found that at least according to google earth, it doesn't have one. Street names are correct, and it's right where I remember it, but no name attached to that particular watercourse. Took me a while to find, Sacramento's a bit bigger than it was in 1973.

242 First thing that struck me about the French Quarter? The restaurants had barkers outside, calling out menu items to passersby. I still remember the guy outside the Fatted Calf, "Y'all wanna come eat here. Food's good and the price is right"

We took him up on it, and I ordered the gumbo. He came in to check on us, asking how the gumbo was. Told him it was great, and he replied, "yeah, and a lot of it, too!"

How can you not love a place like that?

243 232, we had pancakes, eggs, and bacon every day in the military and for sure you lost weight. The big trick there was you had about 10 minutes to eat.

I did leave some info out of my original statement there I guess so. I will get more into it to be honest and fair. But I stand by what I said.

I lost weight because I paid attention to serving sizes and didn’t snack in between or drink cold beers in between. I am very liberal with butter and other fats not to a crazy extent, but I certainly don’t hold back. In my experience, which is just mine, they help with losing weight in the end.

254 245 SF Goth, sorry for your loss, my man. You didn’t give any details and I’m not asking for any. I lost a friend that I lost touch with, and then found out later he died of cirrhosis of the liver from his heavy drinking. This probably two decades ago, and I was very shocked when I heard about it because he was barely older than I am. my only response was hell I drink as much as he did, though I didn’t know anything about his life over his last five years.

Again, I don’t know your situation and I’m sorry about that for you and that person’s family. But regarding people who die from actual long-term alcohol use it is so hit or miss. You just don’t know how your body will react. Churchill live to a ripe old age, and he drank like a fish, his son died young because of alcohol consumption. I hope I’m not out of line here because I’m only trying to offer you condolences and also mention yeah we should think about that.. I’ve tried to give it up more than a few times.

You can always compare outcomes to other people, and I don’t have the traditional issues that people think of such as DWI familial problems, etc. but I’ve known for many years that I wish I didn’t use it at

They always turn on every conservative in the sports world yet never say the reason they don’t like them. we know why they don’t like them and why they always go after them. It’s not exactly an enigma.

There’s a reason why so many hated that quarterback who played for the Broncos, they went after him, simply for being a Christian. Now this CJ Stroud seems to be a polarizing figure. It’s unfortunate that is that simple but yeah, we see it every day. It is that simple.

272 Cirrhosis is a *stage* of liver disease, and is not always due to alcohol consumption. Most often, though, people seem to equate it with long-term drunkenness.

My husband was never a heavy drinker, but now has cirrhosis. We think his over-use of acetaminophen is more to blame than anything else. Of course, since he admitted to the Drs that he *ever* drank alcohol-- they call it "alcoholic" liver failure. He hasn't had a single drop of it in years.

Bullsh!t. I don't understand the medical industry's need to pronounce 'alcohol-related' vs 'non'-- as the condition remains the same, treatment is the same, prognoses are the same. Blame the patient! Yeah, that's the ticket!

291 277, they give them too much credit, and we trust them too much but I guess we don’t have much of a choice. I told the doctor once that I dipped and she put me in on there records as a smoker. This is Kaiser Permanente, and I don’t mind calling them out because they can be a bit cultish. I made them retract all of that because I knew if they put me as a smoker I would be in a banished few. Also screw them.


By the way, most health insurance companies and HMO‘s do not charge more for tobacco users/smokers. Particularly with Obamacare companies like Blue Cross do not charge smokers more. the cult of Kaiser Permanente does charge almost a 50% premium to self-declared smokers. my understanding is the records are clear that only a tiny percent reveal this information.

I am glad I’m no longer with Kaiser because they are woke cult. But also because they are trying to grift on people and they have no good reason because the people that compete with them do not do so. If you eat, five Big Macs a day , or drink five Maccallan’s a day no worries.

But Kaiser is a woke cult, you’d be better off just finding a local doctor.

300 297, I . I’m only giving mine. But I went on the health insurance marketplace. Only one company gave a premium for tobacco users. That was Kaiser Permanente. Probably Blue Cross is the most famous insurer in the country and I know for a fact they don’t add a premium at least on the health insurance marketplace.

Many people on the left have argued how stupid it is to charge more for smokers because the entire point is to get them to stop and get them insurance and the care of the they need. But to look at it another way. What about people that eat 10 big Mac a day what about people that smoke pot all day? What about the people that drink booze all day and drive on the highway? How can it only be right to give a premium to price out people simply because the used tobacco?

My argument is at least half of the insurers. Do not do this. I think it’s higher than half, but I will be gladly open to sing info that says otherwise.

303 Same with life insurance policies. I was told fewer than 10% of smokers proclaimed themselves as smokers on life insurance policies. They could have an argument like I’ve said about eating 20 big Macs, smoking, reefer and boozing all day. I hope you’ve figured out where I come from. At this point it has been many years. I tell the truth, even when it hurts me and in a day where many don’t tell the truth I guess it does.

But I had an insurance company that actually charged me a premium for tobacco use. I would look for other insurance companies, because I promise you without any doubt whatsoever there are many who do not in this day and age. Even they realize how stupid it is, considering there are so many other risk factors out there even they realize it’s for some reason illegal form of abuse.

323 307, 309, that is when I really started to understand how weird politics is. The left are the most boring people on earth. They never will bring you something new. It is always the old tired refrain. Why would they be against tobacco but for pot? I’m embarrassed to say it, but they think of tobacco as the old south hence Republicans. I wish there was more to it but there isn’t.

Why is the left anti-Israel and prop Palestine? The left America and they think of us as conservatives so that sums it all up right there.

Somehow tobacco became bad, and Mary Jane became good. Somehow people with traditional values who still love you are bad yet people that would tear your head off on a moments notice like the Palestinians are good.

I wish there was more to it, but there isn’t. Look at how the left puts their Ukraine flags up all the time. I think most of us want Ukraine to win. We certainly don’t support Putin’s Russia. But there is something weird about the fetish. The left has with Ukraine and Russia. When someone wears Ukraine pins would wear a USA flag pin to me that’s a tell. in the warped world they think somehow this is being anti-Trump. It has nothing to do with

331 I know this is in the side, but since there hasn’t been much conversation going on tonight, I’m going to go with it. If you look at the 1980s, there was a time when people would tell you, tobacco or dipping tobacco was worse than cigarettes. This wasn’t even a left right issue. Everyone believed it to be true and for sure pretty much anyone would tell you dipping tobacco is more likely to cause cancer than cigarettes.

No, I’m gonna be clear here so no one called me out on this I think dipping or chewing is dumb. It’s bad for you and you should not do it. Again, it does not improve your health, it hurts it.

But the reality is all of that was done off a political thing that happened in the 80s, and then unfortunate person who passed away as a youth. Legitimate test has shown that chewing, tobacco and dipping tobacco is not even remotely as dangerous as smoking. You cannot find any legitimate scientific paper that says otherwise, not a one.


Yet you will still find people today on the right and left that will tell you chewing tobacco causes mouth cancer way more than smoking. The reality is nothing could be further from the truth smoking causes moth cancer way more and

I mentioned this only because it is a perfect example of how the media can convince people even on the both the left and right to believe something that is completely untrue. it is an example of the big lie because everyone fell for it and when they started asking for receipts, they weren’t any.

Again and we’re adults here so I shouldn’t have to say this but again I think chewing tobacco is dumb. It’s bad for you and don’t do it. Scientific that it is not even close to cigarette smoking when it comes to danger for your health, and that includes issues with your mouth. Those are facts I know that will be supported and no one’s going to call me out on this because I already know the papers about it. Don’t do it, but one more example to not trust the media and even the facts we “all” know.

342 333, for the most part people argue from their own book. I have used smokeless tobacco for many years over the years, but many of my life years have been sans tobacco. I totally agree with you that cigarette smoke is the worst because it’s all over your clothes and you smell like crap and kissing a girl who smokes is like licking an ashtray, it is a major turn off.

But for some reason, a large percentage of people are more offended by dipping tobacco. They think spitting is the most disgusting thing ever. I could tell them what about how the clothes smell or how the smoke lingers into other apartments or whatever, but they have this incredible prejudice against dipping tobacco. But when they say it’s more dangerous, that’s where they’re actually lying even though they’re not trying to do so.

I hear you about edibles my man. I have only had one or two times in my life and I smoked it. I thought the smoking thing was part of the experience but what do I know?

354 349 The rebellion was the conformity. My parents knew they were f*ck-ups, just like most people and didn't try to hide it. Simply made sure I understood cause and effect and what it means to be responsible for your own exploration into the unknown. I don't known how other people were raised but it seems like fear plays a large role in it. My mother in particular was funny that way. That woman would drive dead center into the eye of a hurricane if she felt it necessary to move on with her life.

355 Actually, there are more Whitetail deer in this country than there has ever been. And when I say there is more than there’s ever been, I’m not talking a tiny bit more. There are 10 times as many Whitetail deer in Texas alone than there were and the entire country in the 1920s...

Yes Quint, very true, they have become a nuisance. My Dad grew up on a farm in NW IL in the late 40s-early 50s, there were never any deer around. When I farmed, from 1980-2012, there were plenty and they could eat a lot of corn before it was harvested.

Also no turkeys here until they were reintroduced. By the time I was about done farming our dog could spook up a dozen or so in the long grass sometimes. However it seems like they displaced the pheasants, they were no longer to be found.

356 Have you ever been bitten or "attacked" by a bullfrog? It doesn't hurt and your existence isn't in jeopardy, but that creature would absolutely consume you in a heartbeat. Beautiful, carnivorous creatures with a will to thrive. Magnificent.

357 347 The sheer volume of BS in the world is astonishing when you peel it back. They've got people spraying down their houses with hazardous chemicals that you have to pay good money for, when you can make a cocktail out of distilled white vinegar and dish soap that'll knock out most bugs.

Posted by: Eponymous Cracker at January 20, 2024 02:02 AM (HZJhy)
----
Your vinegar/water/soap solution 1. is only good if you actually get it on the bug; 2. the bug won't walk into it; 3.it's useless after it dries. Bug spray, the surface kind, avoids all 3 of those pitfalls.

We always respected turkey hunters back in the day because they were way more into it than deer hunters and there weren’t any turkeys around lol.

372 Re. The golf professional this is just how this is going. I don’t wanna be a jerk and sometimes you can’t tell how not to be a jerk in this day and age but let’s be honest that’s not a chick.

I think a lot of people just don’t understand you hear so many people say well. The women are better at putting in the short game. It’s all about hitting it far. No offense to those people cause why should they even know about these things, but they could not be further from the truth. The a 200th ranked man could win an LPGA tournament and the number one LPGA player could never finish in the top 10 in a men’s tournament is not based on how hard they hit it and how far the ball goes. If anyone has ever interested in discussing this in depth, I’ll do it, but this is not the time.

People realize the top 100 darts players are mostly men as in 90%? Do people know the top scrabble players are men? I will say this it has got nothing to do with intelligence or at least that’s not the main issue., the real issue is the number of men that compete in the sports in that filters down to the point where only the tiniest reach the pro level and get paid.

Why does a transgender need to compete in

375 A woman’s golf event, if he was born a man? It would be one thing if he declared himself a woman, and then one on the men’s tour. This is just screwing over women. Again, if you are that good compete with the men. The men won’t bother you too much if you say you are a woman, but at least back up by beating them.

Somebody will say wards golf, blah, blah blah. I won’t say men’s golf versus women’s golf is more separated than say, football or baseball if women even do those things. But I will say women can’t compete on the PGA tour and they have proven that over decades. Now you have fake women trying to mess up the women’s tour?

Yep, EC. My new GP read my listed history from my main hospital;s site. I was told I have coronary heart disease, WTF?

Turns out it comes from one time some pre-op tests showed a small artery blocked. After several yrs and various meds another pre-op test showed no such thing, but that was not noted. I guess it's to their advantage to keep you on record as sicker than you are, it's all BS.

You need to be responsible for your own health and watch closely today's "medical practitioners" and how they treat you. Good luck to us all!
