I’m going to go do that right now :-)
I think most of the toxins off gas pretty rapidly. Kind of like the tires in an earth ship. I’d always thought used motor oil contained dioxin, but this post made me read a little further and it looks like anything that would off gas from using used motor oil as a wood preservative would off gas during the recycling process anyway. I’ve always thought about soaking fence posts in used motor oil.
I’ve been around. My daily schedule has changed and I’m up in time to say GM and PV to everyone for the next few weeks. Have a great day!
This might be a silly question but have you tried soapy water? Regular Dawn dish soap works well. Pure castile soap seems to work better. 1tbsp per gallon of water. Drench the whole plant. That will start to knock them back. Repeated application should help but wont eliminate the problem.
I alternate spraying weekly with bacillus thurigenis and lacto bacillus with a little whey protein powder mixed in after the first true leaves form and continue spraying all season. This keeps pretty much everything at bay here in East Tennessee. But it only works if I start at the beginning of season and carry through all summer.
The money supply they tell us about! Please remember, the federal reserve doesn’t track M3. No one really knows how many US dollars exist.
How long do you leave that on the smoker? What temperature?
I love “Longevity & quality of life maintenance is the goal” and ideal natural motions of the human body / physiology.
I try to work these motions into my daily life. For example: watch how a baby moves or an ape moves. None of them ever bend at the waist they always squat to pick something up every time you pull a weed or go to get some thing out of the bottom cabinet squat instead of bend at the waist.
Need to pick up something heavy dead lift, need to pick something up over your head power clean. Seriously, watch a toddler pick stuff up. This is exactly how they do it.
We as humans learn a lot of our physical movements by mimicking and the factory/Office culture that we’ve evolved into is a completely unhealthy way to move our bodies.
I agree that people should run, a lot. We should stretch every day also. However, as one ages, repetitive motion and overuse injuries become a real concern. All the guys that took part in the jogging fad of the late 70s and early 80s had bad knees by the 90s.
Mixing things up helps avoid wearing things out. I understand running is your thing right now and that’s great. One day run 5K, the next day do a 30 minute interval workout to improve your 5K time. The next day do a long slow day. Doing the same thing every time you work out is repetitive and injurious.
This is a good conversation, keep it going.
There are a TON of things people can do in place of running. HIIT and TABATA training provide great cardiovascular workouts.
Cycling, rowing and swimming all work well also.
I trained Strongman for several years and we would drag weighted sleds or suitcase carry at a quick pace with short rest intervals for cardio.
Step and aerobics classes are also great. I took a step class and a power lifting class for electives during one semester of college and I was peaking pretty good by the end of the semester.
Honestly, if you want absolute “peak” performance even running should be trained in intervals. Whether it’s a 5K or a Marathon.
I’ve done all the above at different times in my life and never failed to do 5-7 mile hikes at high elevation with a 50lbs pack.
I guess it all boils down to how you define peak performance.
P.S. If you really want to be humbled try jumping rope without stopping for the same amount of time it takes you to finish a 5K. Every time you miss, add a minute. 😈
I’ve been a home inspector for 12 years and a realtor for 12 years before that. I’ve been in over 10,000 strangers homes and operated appliances in about 5000 of them.
Samsung is garbage. Lots of touchscreen or fancy gimmicky shit that breaks too easy.
Whirlpool and GE seem to be the most reliable. However, lots of people experience problems in the first five years and they generally don’t last past seven.
Next time I buy a washer/dryer I’m going to buy a commercial grade Speed Queen like they use in laundromats. That or some entry-level Amana that still has mechanical dials.
GM, loving this cooler weather.
Russia recently authorized the use of bitcoin for settlements and reserve for businesses.
Even more recently, many Chinese banks have stopped processing Russian transactions in compliance with US and EU sanctions on Russia.
I sense Russia and China making settlements outside of any monitoring system coming soon.
I started this trading methodology a few years ago when Gavin Newsom had French laundry gate. His best friend that took him out to dinner was a lobbyist from Pacific Gas & Electric (PCG).
The company was just about to come out of bankruptcy and was trading around seven dollars. Their good buddy. Gavin passed a bunch of laws to keep them from getting sued for all the wildfires they create.
Since then I found house stockwatcher.com and Senate stock watcher.com to be invaluable tools for guiding my investments 🤣
