  • My rear view mirror fell off awhile ago, thanks for reminding me I need to find some adhesive. Just seems counterintuitive to re-adhear it until after I get the growing crack out of the windshield. 18 wheeler threw a rock at me going down the interstate. Ugh.

    Need to put some money away to replace it, insurance didn’t want to help for less than the deductible.








  • I offer a course of cook everything in one pot as much as possible, then move the pot to the fridge and eat only that till it’s gone, clean pot and start over. 1 pot, 1 crock pot fit on my second shelf, drinks on the bottom, and fruits vegatables in the drawers. If it’s on the top shelf, I probably need to clean it out because I never know what’s there. Likely cheese.

    You’ve completed the course.



  • Never cared for vaping or e cigarettes, but I recently stopped smoking cigarettes again and haven’t had one in about 3.5 weeks even though I have a pack in the car, and usually have one in my pocket when walking around. I have been using fruit flavored vapes this time. If they just tasted like real cigarettes I would not use it, id definitely go back to smoking. What’s the point then. Id be more likely to try out nicotine oils at that point you just put on your skin, but I doubt they would do me much good because a lot of it for me is about having something in my hand to toy around with. There was a period I quit drinking for 6 months, still went to bars to socialize and such, just drank gingerale or something I could pass off as a drink so it didn’t get questions and I could toy with it. Fidget spinners and shit never clicked for me.

    That said, I’m sure they get more people to use them than normal cigarettes do, they taste good, and don’t smell bad.

    My question more so is… What is the court deciding? It’s either does the law prohibit them or not, and is the law legal without an amendment or not. It should have nothing to do with if more people get addicted or if companies say it helps people get off cigarettes. Those are distractions from legislation.

    Judges say: it says 12 It doesn’t matter if 12 is better or worse for our society, what matters is a judge says it is written as 12.

    If the population believes 12 is not the best answer, then our representatives write an amendment or law that says 17.

    Asking the courts to approve things on moral/ ethical standings is directly conflating the courts to use bias and undermining the government process/branches created to ensure it doesn’t all fall apart like it is.




  • Obama tried to push grid upgrades for years, kept getting shot down. His plans would all be done by now. Throw in the fuel economy requirements of 54.5 mpg requirements for cars and light trucks and we would have seen billions of barrels of oil not being needed. (Lower gas prices as well). Granted it wasn’t everything, but it was what we needed to start doing. Now 13, 14 years later after Trump rolled back those fuel efficiency policies as much as he could because it cost manufacturers more money in research, we are much closer to a rock we can’t live on and haven’t advanced nearly enough. So we voted in Drill Baby Drill to finish off the rock.


  • I mean if you pull the hydrogen, and are left with brine when the hydrogen is used it will release water, which effectively will get condensated and come back down as rain. Mostly ending up back in the oceans at the end of the day right? Wouldn’t that balance out the water to salt ratio at that point if the salt was just added back into the ocean? (Assuming it is dipersed over a longer area. Maybe even just making hydrogen powered ship motors that release the salt back into the water outflowing from the exhaust. Or is it that the chemicals wouldn’t form their original bonds, so you may have essentially drain cleaner left over when you are done with the electrolysis?
