For Your Consideration

I had been hoping for a more coordinated and organized boycott of MAGA business. I have an idea for a magnetic bumper sticker: "Identify, Share, Boycott and Destroy GOP Business". For boycotts to be effective, it cannot just be the effort of like-minded individuals acting independently. It...

4 to 7 eggs per week to reduce dementia risk

Hannibal Lecter was eating FBI brains on the airplane at the end of the "Hannibal" sequel, and a little Chinese boy strapped in an adjacent seat showed curiosity, so Hannibal says "My mother told me always to try new things . . . "

Son of senior CIA official killed in Ukraine

The double-agent speculation is possible and cannot be dismissed. Replying to cytg111 in post #11: I don't think my view on this has a partisan taint -- to whit: The Cold War never ended. Generally and for many decades, mainstream America was sold the idea that we were fighting an ideology...

A Washing Machine Repair or Replace Decision

I can attend to all that, unlikely to forget since this wasn't a run-of-the-mill $700 model and brand. It's an investment I want to protect, certainly . .

Son of senior CIA official killed in Ukraine

There's a point to be made here that my ancestors -- father and his siblings, for example -- made sacrifices and spilled blood for the government we had before Trump, and our position in the world before Trump. No less, the history of the 20th century, with all that blood sweat and tears, shows...

Well, apparently we are losing some freedoms.

I was never a "political analyst", and my exposure to the field of "political science" as a student or academic is a small sliver of that sort of preparation. But one would ask; "To obtain the maximum possible votes toward an election win, what are the relative benefits of making an all-out...

Well, apparently we are losing some freedoms.

I still have the freedom to order a magnetic (therefore easily removeable and replaceable) bumper stick that says: "OVERTHROW ANY CRIMINAL REGIME BY ANY NECESSARY MEANS" I'm F-ing tired of fooling around. Either impeach and remove the criminal, or send him to Dallas in a convertible limo...

Diet soft drinks could cause Type 2 Diabetes

I can't see myself eating beets to excess, but for too long in my life, I didn't have any. I think I'm going to have about four small beets today, or otherwise some pickled beets in a salad. And I don't get enough salad, either . . . Oddly, I feel great today, but too tired to do my 1-miler...

A Washing Machine Repair or Replace Decision

WEY-ULL, PIL-GRUM!! I am happier than a pig in shit with my brand new Speed Queen! After the hose-bib replacement and the extras, it was worth every penny of the $1,800 total. The SQ itself cost me about $1,400.

Pretty decent actress taken by T2D

Well, after more web searches, and other than the affect on gut microbes -- I find nothing to make me panic about "Zero-Sugar" drinks. But where I just mentioned in another thread the prospects for different vegetable juices, I can easily moderate my Aspartame intake. But as for buying the...

Diet soft drinks could cause Type 2 Diabetes

Old age, with COPD and T2D, really sucks. But I experienced improvements over the previous year. Here's something I discovered: Organic Cooked Beets by "Love Beets" I had picked these up somewhere -- likely COSTCO -- a year ago. They just remained in the garage refrigerator unopened. I...

Diet soft drinks could cause Type 2 Diabetes

With the homemade lemons-to-aspartame-lemonade, my taste buds tell me it needs more lemon juice and less aspartame. But for the required amount of sugar or 1 cup=8oz, I used 1/6 cup of the sweetener. But still slightly too sweet. Why isn't there some surgical operation where the fatty tissue...

Diet soft drinks could cause Type 2 Diabetes

Damn. i like bananas, but I also like grapes and strawberries. I thought that fructose was generally better for you than cane sugar or sucrose. I guess I'll pour myself some aspartame-lemonade right now . . .

New York Times piece calling for an UPRISING

This provides me with an entree for something I've been thinking for a while. The GOP core published "Project 2025". Perhaps they counted on the fact that many of their base don't read or read very much. I saw firsthand how some of those folks were actually arguing that "Trump disavowed"...

How much do car dings cost to repair?

A slight dent in a door panel? I agree with the others, unless DIY is acceptable. If that then, if it's a shallow dent, you'd want a tube of red body putty, some sandpaper, and then primer and touchup paint. You can get the touchup paint by paint-code at PaintScratch.com. A spray can of...
