I recently got a drip coffee maker, a Proctor Silex. It's the basic model: on/off, pop the lid to pour the water in and put in a filter. It's doing a good job. Even the carafe pours without dribbling. I no longer require coffee that will dissolve the spoon so I don't need cowboy coffee. Don't know how long it will last but there isn't much to go wrong and for less than 25 bucks it's a bargain.

I forgot to wear my tinfoil helmet last night and woke up with this conspiracy theory.
Blackrock is buying houses for way above market - with a slightly different algorithm- in certain, key locations in a way which may encourage the sellers to move (or may effectively keep the house off the market) to a location that benefits them politically. Concrete example: red enclaves in purple districts close to a border. Easier to imagine at a state-office level. They have the funds and the statisticians.

My primary motivation for refusing the stab is a basic risk/benefit assessment failure which doesn't follow neatly into the "disability" or "religious" exemption request options I'm presented. So, I'm operating under the assumption that I'll be shitcanned in 7 weeks. A few years back, I was thinking of changing careers and picking up a trade (e.g., HVAC, electrician).

Anyone have experience and/or opinions about canes for cane fighting? I often carry a cane these days for 'just in case' I feel unsteady or am going up an incline. Fortunately, the need is rare.
If I'm going to have it in hand might as well know how to use it. Any idea what style to use for self defense: crook style, knob top, etc.? My current stick is a round top style so I can push straight down if needed. I'm not as heavy as before so a crook style, not centered over the shaft, can work. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

My observations are that they just kinda trick a regular cane out. Unless its a sword, or metal cane. The wooden ones are euiped with grips, a paracord loop for your wrist, and some have teeth engraved into he bottom length. There are both kng and hooked. I would find the right weight for defense (hardwood) that you are comfortable and you could probably trick it it yourself. Then learn to use it. I'm sure others here have defense training with a similar object and can make recommendations. Posted by: Cannibal Bob at October 09, 2021 08:46 AM (RoIW/) 158

I have a question about that. The a-hole shooter's family claims he was being beaten in a video filmed in the classroom on the day of the shooting. But I look at the video, and to me it shows the a-hole shooter doing the beating. Has anybody else noticed that? By the way, these classroom brawls occur in America's schoolrooms every damn day. There are hundreds of videos online. Classroom discipline and safety is abysmal, and we all know why. Posted by: Minimal gp-Based Barrier at October 09, 2021 08:56 AM (qpX6U) 195

"I have a plan to get rid of higher cost long serving employees!"
Schools do this as well, but they raise the salaries of the teacher the last couple years (cuz they are nice with OPM), and the teacher retires at 55 with full benefits. The retirement plans may be underfunded, but the public will take up the slack for the next 35 years. So we have a mass of (9 month/year) teachers (and other public union employees that worked 25-30 years) that are now making six figures in retirement, with full health care. ... afaik, many private sector people fired lose their pension, or some BigCorps get merged, or investigated ... 25 years of "service" and they don't even get the gold watch.

I did not see it, but I reflect of Trayvon (portrayed by propaganda MFM as 10 year old child with candy) who got in fights, almost certainly provoked the fight with Zimmerman. He had a picture of himself with a gun, but ended up on the wrong end of that fight. ... So he became a national martyr ... druggies that like to get in fights and commit crimes ... a series of such fabricated Black Hero Martyrs gave us BLM (Soros/BigCorp funded) and a year of burning/looting.

Regarding canes... a guy I used to work with was into "stick fighting." I think they use regular sticks (bamboo?) of some particular length and go at it. Some of the moves might be similar with a cane? Plus I believe you can find a live instructor or class for this vs. sticking (heh) to just "cane fighting."

I've never heard of that brand, so I looked it up. Uh, it must make terrific coffee for those prices. Holy smokes.
Posted by: Lady in Black at October 09, 2021 08:45 AM (sVtYq) I suspect there are a wide range of coffee makers used by the Horde. Right now I'm using a cheap small French Press which works great in terms of getting the full flavor of the beans in the brew *and* keeping it hot. The only disadvantage is it's kind of messy to clean; in fact that was the reason previously for buying a bottom of the line Mr Coffee where I could just dump the paper filter. But that was back when I was drinking it with cream and sugar; when I tried it black the water just wasn't soaking the grounds enough to get close to the full flavor. So then I tried a pourover cone but those get clogged up, even with cleaning them with white vinegar and scrubbing with baking soda. So I'm back to the French Press. There you have it; the pros and cons of all the inexpensive ways I've tried to get the perfect cup of coffee.

>>> I don't watch comedy, don't know beans about it, other than that it is very very hard to do well. So I see the articles saying Gutfeld beating the other yuk shows in ratings. I tried watching ten minutes of Gutfeld. Even his own audience doesn't laugh at his lines! I sure didn't.

Alcohol is to carbs as carbs are to protein and fat.
Alcohol is "burned" preferentially to the exclusion of everything else. It's treated as a poison, basically. So no carbohydrate is utilized until the alcohol is metabolized. No it doesn't have "carbs", but it's a great way to stay fat. Check out any beer drinker gut for details. Posted by: Common Tater at October 09, 2021 09:59 AM (RtI0W) 277
