I trained as a weapons tech in the reserves and I have taught small arms
courses. Always treat firearms as if they are loaded, always keep them
pointed in a safe direction, and never point one at anyone.

I'd rather see it melted down and made into something useful!

You mean like:
Gunpowder: It consists of a mixture of sulfur (S), charcoal (C), and
potassium nitrate (saltpeter, KNO3). The sulfur and charcoal act as
fuels while the saltpeter is an oxidizer.

i have switched from using red bells to using green bell peppers when i make a stew such as goulash. i like their aroma better when they are cooking, better than the aroma of the reds. they are not as sweet. as for eating raw peppers, i don't like the greens. i like raw bell red pepper on a cheese sandwich.

I guess there is one good reason to live in south Louisiana.... early
planting season. With all of the things kuthe likes to brag about I am
very surprised he does not have a green house that is heated by
electricity so he can grow year round.

Yay, Trump threatened to make avocados very expensive, but he didn't!
Yay, what a great president! He almost did it and then he didn't! You
should have 2 presidents like that. The other one could keep the price
of zucchinis the same!

From the NYT - a RELIABLE source:
President Trump hailed his new deal with Mexico to avoid tariffs,
but the terms were actually agreed on months ago, officials in both
nations said.
It was unclear whether Mr. Trump accepted the deal as a face-saving
way to escape the political and economic consequences of imposing tariffs.

That's two full sentences. Deplorables don't read that much.

It is. Bath robes, Beach robes, Christian robes, Jewish robes, Chiffa
robes. They come in bright colors for the summer too.

I saw a bee yesterday - a rare event. How do the plants get pollinated? I do not know the answer to that and yet, they do.

  I've not seen anything on these , and have no opinion - at this time
. As for "eating any developing bees" , that is not possible . Bees
emerge as adults from the cell in the comb . And that's the ONLY place
you'll find "developing bees" . Bees first leave the hive when a few
days old , on what are called "orientation" flights . They fly around
close to home , looking at the hive and surroundings . This is how they
learn what home looks like and how to find it . An interesting thing ,
if you move a hive you need to partially obstruct the entrance with
leaves or grass or something . This makes the bees re-orient themselves
because of the changes . If you don't , they will return to the old
location after a foraging flight . Oops , your foragers all just
disappeared . Who's gonna feed the kids now ?

That's a bit too intelligent and critical for RFC. They don't want to
be disturbed while they shove unknown substances into their mouths.

We have an Ariens too. I used it twice. Each time it broke down. I
stopped using it after that.

I think the J women can't stand the idea that someone they look down

Yes, take the gardener. He was driving the J women mad with envy.

Beans in a glass bowl. Five minutes in the microwave. Rest 1 minute.
Done.

Cooking taro is fairly easy - you just cook the shit out of it until it's edible. If you don't cook it long enough, it's going to irritate your throat. Mostly, I'm cooking the taro leaves, the pork is just along for the ride. :)
