Nooch provides 2.2mcg of B12 per serving (5g), according to the jar in my hand. So just make sure you’re eating about 6g a day and you’re good enough on B12 (recommended 2.5mcg/day). So a bit more than a tablespoon of nooch is enough to get your B12 for the day, and you can split it over all your meals/snacks.

It was 36C where I live last week. If I didn’t have AC I’d be dead. Luckily, we’re only looking at ~30C this week. But I’m still gonna be running the AC.

The weather has been so nice that I’m spending a lot of my free time outside, so I’ve really only been playing idle games that I can ignore for a few hours at a time and then pay attention to for 5 minutes.

Reactoridle is my favorite, but I also play Swarm Simulator and Shark Game.

I do have an appointment to play Minecraft with my grandson on Thursday, so I’m looking forward to that.

From the article:

None of this is illegal as currently constituted, because the permit that was written does not require monitoring for the things the independent lab found.

No law is being broken. This may be terrible, but it’s legal.

I went to a “hot zone” in Africa in the middle of an epidemic because I truly wanted to help in any way that I could. I was making food for doctors, nurses, and patients. I had shots fired at me. The locals tried to kill me. They thought I was harvesting Black bodies to steal their melanin. I legitimately feared for my life, but I didn’t leave until the organization I was working for pulled us out. I would have stayed, but without funding there was nothing I could do.

None of it makes sense. If you read into the conspiracy theory, they think we’re using their melanin to make our dicks bigger. No, I’m not kidding. I never stole any melanin from a corpse (or at all). I was just there to make food for other humans. That’s my passion, I like to feed people.

It’s actually worse than that. They want the (highly contagious) corpses of ebola victims to be released to the families, so they can have a heckin’ proper (religious) funeral.

They’re mad that the facilities are not releasing the (highly contagious) bodies to the dead person’s family for “proper” burial. The facilities are instead following proper protocol, and burying the bodies safely. Some of them honestly believe that Ebola isn’t real, and is instead a scam by white westerners to steal Black bodies for nefarious purposes.

It’s literally just ignorance and paranoia. They’re attacking the very people who are helping them, because of a conspiracy theory and a lack of education.

I was in Sierra Leone during their outbreak in 2015 (I’m not a healthcare worker, but I was there to feed the healthcare workers), and we faced similar challenges. We had to cancel our mission because we were attacked so many times, and it wasn’t safe to be there.

Maybe they should stop setting the treatment centers on fire?

Poverty is also vital. Enticing poor teens with money for college, signing bonuses that are more money than they’ve ever seen in one place, and cheap/free healthcare is a strong motivation.

“Why don’t Presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?”

When my wife and I got our first apartment, it was a tiny studio. 15’x12’. But, as our family grew, we needed more space to accommodate the kids. We currently have 13 people in our household, and we built another extension on our house to bring it to 14 bedrooms. Sometimes I miss the simplicity of that tiny studio. Being able to clean our entire living space in like 20 minutes was pretty great. But the tradeoff of having enough space to build a big family is worth it IMO. If my life had gone differently, and I was just a single dude, or if my wife and I had decided to go the DINK route, I’d be fine in a tiny home.

But it was really nice being able to open my home to my niece when my sister went to prison and my niece had nowhere to go. When my oldest son’s marriage imploded and he needed to move back home (with his kids in tow), it was nice to have the space to host them. I try to always have an empty room in case someone I love is in a bad situation. Couldn’t really do that in a tiny home.

I also host most big family events, like Thanksgiving, Christmas, 4th of July and whatnot. I have a HUGE extended family, and we generally have ~50 guests in addition to our own household. Trying to host 50 guests in a tiny home would be impossible. Trying to cook enough food in a tiny kitchen would be an insane endeavor. Not to mention the idea of all those people trying to share one tiny bathroom.

Who benefits?

People who bought the right stocks. So basically, not you. I’m not trying to be mean, but if you’re asking this question, you’re clearly on the losing side of this move.

Duck liver puree (AKA pâté) fucking slaps though. And as long as you source the duck liver from an ethical place (not one that pumps food down their throats to fatten them up), it’s no more cruel than any other meat. I like to add shallots, black garlic, portobello mushrooms, and a bit of brandy, then chill it and serve it on some nice whole wheat toast. Salt and pepper to taste of course.

I personally only use wild ducks that I hunt myself (or ones that were hunted by friends/family). I’m allowed 6 a year, and I take full advantage if I can. If you can manage to take them in November, the livers are naturally fattier, but not quite on the level of farmed foie gras.

But other than that, meat puree sounds kinda bad.

Are you the same person who posted this exact pic to reddit in 2023?

Cookie Clicker, but in the ocean. I’ll play it for a couple days.

You mean these?

It got my location wrong. It got my GPU wrong. It said I never left the tab, even though I left it to start this comment. It said I moved my cursor 111 times in 74 seconds, which is absolutely false.

That site is just pointless. Pretty much the only things it got right were my time zone and my browser.

GenX here, I have a streaming service (Paramount+) for exactly one reason: It comes for free with my Walmart+ account, which I use frequently. Every 6 months I switch between that and Peacock, since both are free and I can change my choice twice a year. So I watch what I want on Paramount+ for 6 months, then switch to Peacock for 6 months, rinse and repeat.

As far as a lifetime subscription to Nebula, I’ve watched way too many sites fail/die to consider a lifetime subscription to anything on the internet. They could shut the site down tomorrow, and now I’m out $500 ($300 if I happen to get a discount from a creator code).

People generally date people who live somewhat close to them (I know, LDRs exist).

People generally shop in stores that are somewhat close to them.

I’m smelling coincidence.

I like to grocery shop on Tuesday mornings, since that’s double coupon day at my local grocer. I give my neighbor a ride to the store, so we can use her 5% senior discount and save even more money.

I see the same people at the store every week, because they shop on the same day I do, at the same time I do. We smile and wave, sometimes we chit chat about current events, or small talk like “Man, the weather’s crazy this week”, or “How did your son’s baseball game go?”.

I am not stalking them, they are not stalking me. We just patronize the the same store at the same time as each other.

If you think you’re being stalked, randomly change up your routine. Let’s say you normally go shopping on Saturday afternoons. Go on a Thursday morning. If you still keep running into them, maybe you’re onto something. If not, enjoy your new ex-gf free shopping experience.

Not a huge one, but I’ve got a small tribe. My wife and I have a girlfriend, and regardless of which woman is the birth mom, all our kids have 3 parents. My oldest son and his kids also live with me, so we can help out with his kids, and he can help out with ours. My MiL lives in an apartment above my garage, so she’s always around to help out. My SiL lives a few miles down the road from us, so ditto for her. My best friend will drop pretty much anything she has going on to help out if all else fails.

It definitely makes parenting better, and a lot easier. As far as what keeps us together, a mutual love and respect.
