AI might think it thinks, but it can only "think" via its programming.

We heated our house in MO with a wood stove for 6 bitterly cold winters. Cut the trees on our own land and used a hydraulic log splitter that was run by our Troybilt tiller, and we used the tiller to create a huge organic garden every spring and summer, and we canned, froze, and dehydrated vegetables, fruits, and herbs. Made all of my own breads, crackers, salad dressings, tofu, granola - everything from scratch while homeschooling the kids. The good old days - lots of fun living the Mother Earther lifestyle with zero interference from the gov't.

Wood burning fine is just asinine.

Waiting for Project Veritas to interview, Any, literally Any owner/farmer/ processor that had a plant burn down, any employees, family or friends. I haven't seen an article where it interviews anyone working at any of these. It might be out there, and I just haven't seen it yet. Like almost 200 different places burned..since 2 years ago. Anyone see the TV show Yellowstone, when the 2 Brothers drop from a plane I think alfalfa to his cattle, then they all bloat and die? Seems like a reasonable way to get rid of a bunch of food to the American population. Like the avian flu that keeps popping up, or bovine this or that.

Paul. So true. All of it.

The other day a friend sent me a list he compiled, it was countries the US has been, in one way or another, active in. He asked me which ones he missed. I started adding to the list when it dawned on me, it would be much quicker to compile a list of countries in which the US has not been active in.

To see that footage! I watched an interview by David Serada interviewing Dan aykroyd. And Dan had a TV show called I want to say Out There, and I remember the promo commercial for it too, in the early 2000s, and they didn't let him air that, he said he might release dvds, but I'm still waiting for it. I forget exactly, but I guess he had some good stuff.

Oh I love double deck pitch. That's fun to deal. My left hand would hurt though. I'd have conworkers rub it on my breaks sometimes. And I've said many times to friends and family the casino was the devil. I didn't realize until I quit. I quit because I was being called names constantly and the floors and pits didn't do anything. Because you know money, which is b.s. because it's not like they were getting a piece of it. The most in tips I made was 29k, the most I've taken was like 112k. The 29k well, I worked at a place that pooled tips, so you're welcome ex co workers, ha. It was so fun at first, then you see the people that have soiled themselves, the eldery that died at a machine. The folks that have been there for days in the same clothes. Investors, that took thier clients money, an accountant for a church that took money. People committed suicide in the parking structure. It's just terrible. I had to go, I could feel it in me that I did not have the personality or morals to continue working there. Plus it was a lot of employees all screwing each other. Pretty gross. Some really cool people I met there, and not so much. Glad you stopped going. I've never been a gambler. Maybe powerball or a scratcher once in a while.

Insane to make hard drugs legal. The opioid epidemic was a perfect storm in the U.S., as follows:

1. Decide that pain is not being properly addressed and designate pain as the 5th vital sign and ask patients to rate their pain on a scale of 1-10.

2. Meanwhile, Purdue Pharma develops Oxycontin, a time-released opioid, declaring it safe and effective.

3. FDA approves Oxycontin based on one small study.

4. Doctors at every corner Doc-In-A-Box, eager to treat pain and relieve unnecessary suffering, believe Purdue's marketing, and start handing out opioids like candy for every minor ache.

5. Hundreds of thousands of patients become hard-core opioid addicts while taking their prescriptions according to the instructions.

6. Too late we find out that for every 100 patients given a 5-day supply of a narcotic pain medicine, 12 will be hard-core addicts 1 year later. Addiction crosses every socio-economic demographic, no longer an inner-city problem in crime riddled slums. Even the great Rush Limbaugh does not escape its grip.

7. During the Obama administration, the opioid crisis rages unabated, and overdose deaths skyrocket.

8. The gov't cracks down on opioid prescribing practices, severely restricting access to prescription opioids, driving addicts to more easily obtained street heroin and fentanyl, which sends overdose deaths even higher, while simultaneously making it almost impossible for the pain patients who really need opioids to get them.

9. Heroin and fentanyl flow freely across our open southern border and husbands and wives, sons and daughters, sisters and brothers, loved and mourned by their families, keep on dying from overdoses, bacterial infections gone septic, and Hep C.

10. President Trump declares the opioid crisis a National emergency, making funds available for expanded addiction treatment and rehab for Medicaid, Medicare, TriCare recipients, and cash grants for the uninsured, and he builds the wall, making our border more secure.

11. For the first time in many years, overdose deaths begin to decline.

12. Then comes the pandemic, Trump loses the presidency, and we're back to square one.

*No one chooses to be an addict. Opioid addiction doesn't influence the pre-frontal cortex, the thinking reasoning part of the brain. It works on more primitive parts of the brain, wherein lies the basic instincts for survival. It changes the very structure of the brain over time, and on an unconscious level, drives the addict to seek drugs as if their very life and survival depends on it, and as if they would quite literally die without it, when in fact, just the opposite is the tragic truth.

Kaore he kanohi kanohi. Ka whakamahi ratou i nga kaikawe hongi ki o ratou antennae ki te kimi kai me te whakamarie i o raatau hoa. I roto i tetahi rangahau hou, i whakangungu nga kaiputaiao 30 nga noke hiraka (Formica fusca) ki te mahi i nga momo mahi ma te whakamahi i nga matū kakara. Te ahua nei kei te mahi...

I pa te awhiowhio ki te hikoi Himalayan i Kashmir i te wa uaua.

Mena he pai ki a koe te hukarere, te hukapapa me te whakairo, haere mai ki Alaska ki te matakitaki i te Ipu o te Ao 2023.

Ka huri nga whakatipuranga kei te heke mai ki te whakamahi i nga kirihou penei i te gorse me te asbestos, kare e whakarongo ki nga kaikorero (katakata).

Rāhoroi harikoa.
