Carolinian. Former combat engineer. Current before cure tire repairman.

Good luck. Lost mine. After 10 years I finally gave up looking for them and went to the eye doctor for a new pair.

Qualified with iron sights the whole time I was in. A2s until the end of my enlistment in 2014. Still rock a carry handle and front sight post on all my ARs. I have a selection of optics to drop into the carry handles. Usually use both at the range.

From each according to his abundance of freedom to each according to his lack of freedom.

Or Something like that.

Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, Bush Senior, Bush Junior, Barrack Obama and any others I left out. Probably.

Yes. I like hard copies but being able to listen to a book while I’m walking, cooking, washing the dishes or anything else really is awesome.

Had a drink in October 2023 while I was on vacation to see if I liked it. First one since my 21st birthday in 2008. Still don’t care for it.

Good luck! I’ve got 1115 books in my audible library. When I filter by not yet started I have 455 left. 609 in progress. Some of those are books I’m on the 2nd or more listen of though.

One thing I will be doing in 2025 is a lot more content about eating Keto, but not a bunch of "how to make a carnivore tortilla," etc. That stuff is fine, but people have limited time day to day.

There is so much you can do with basic cooking knowledge and food-pairing intuition. Soups that can be whipped up from some leftovers and cover lunch for a few days in the next few weeks, etc. Drop a soft-boiled egg in that soup and/or some zoodles, and you have "keto ramen," etc.

Learn to make the 5 mother sauces, but especially Béchamel Sauce and Hollandaise Sauce, which are keto AF. Once you can make Béchamel, you can easily make Mornay, Alfredo, Cream Sauce, Soubise, and Nantua.

Once you can make Hollandaise, you can easily make Béarnaise (with tarragon and shallots), Mousseline (with whipped cream), Choron (Béarnaise with tomato paste), Dijon (with mustard), and Maltaise (with blood orange juice).

Yes, there are some "carbs" in these, but a little enhances the hell out of a meal. Most will do very well (once healthy) simply keeping carbs under 50 a day, and that is no challenge when including these sauces on things like meats, fish, and low-carb veggies like broccoli, asparagus, and eggplant, etc.

Anyway, a lot of this is coming in 2025. Now, without saying something like "I want keto bread" or "keto Twinkies," what do you really want me to come up with for you?

Cooking bacon as we speak. Debating what to season my pork chops with. Cooking the bacon first so I can cook the chops in bacon grease.

No shit. There I was eating some peanut brittle when I see that Jimmy Carter died.

Merry Christmas everyone. Hope it’s a good one. Just started the turkey.

Sounds like the real conversation is whether adoption should be banned or even banned from alphabet couples. For that matter considering the nonzero number of biological family members that do it when are we implementing background checks on parents, aunts, uncles and grandparents before people get permission to procreate? If we’re going to be proactive about not letting children into that situation instead of removing them from it as best as can be done after the fact. Also single/widowed/divorced parents are probably going to have to stay single until a serious background check is ran before they get permission from the government to get into a relationship while their children are 18. You know. For the children.

If the question is whether or not the government should recognize gay marriage I’m fine with either answer to that question. As long as heterosexual marriage gets the same level of recognition from the government.

Yes, and a dozen here and there with compatible culture moving in isn’t the same as say tripling the population of a county in 30 years. Whether the cultures are compatible or not that’s still a shock on the system.

Yep. Turns out people don’t like being forced into a polity with those they consider Other. Whatever the relative merits of their criteria for making that determination. At this point I’m willing to call that a permanent part of the human condition in the people that have it. One that isn’t going away. It’s one of the human natures that has always and will always exist.

Yes. As faith in government abilities and the worth of people’s money continue to decline violence will increase for a variety of reasons.

Reckon so. I’m 37. I doubt it will be cost effective to automate fixing mistakes on tires before the rubber is cured during my lifetime. I figure tires will still be used for the next 50-60 years anyway.
