I remember the mail slot in the door. No reason to open it. Those days
are gone with new houses, all have community group boxes serving 10 to
50 houses.

All the newer areas in Calgary have them. There was a national program
of installing community boxes in older areas but it was stopped due to
protests. I still have mail delivered to the box by my front door.
However, with so many bills etc. now being delivered online, the box is
empty most days.

Why? So the police can be called to haul away his carcass after I kill him?

That would work.

What makes you think she'd want to... Joan would rather kiss a cute
bunny rabbit than smell your fetid breath.

If you had a mail slot in the door, you could just put a
wastebasket under it for the junk mail :)

It's unfortunate that so many of these incidents are sparked by
incidents involving people who were authors of their own misfortune.
The use of force can get ugly, and this one especially so. There is good
reason for the death of George Floyd to be protested. Unfortunately,
there have been so many similar incidents in the past that many of us
know almost immediately that many of the protests are going to turn into
riots and that many of the people are more interested in a free TV than
justice.
 
The cops who were involved in Floyd's death have all been fired and
charged. What more do they want?
 
Cripes they are even protesting up here. While Floyd's death happened
close to 800 miles away in another country. Then they threw in the case
of a black woman who jumped off her 24th story balcony when the cops
came in response to calls from her own family. It didn't help that her
mother made an completely bullshit claim about the cops pushing her
daugther.
 
 
I will be more supporters of Black Lives Matter when they start to clean
up their own act and stop killing each other. In the last 10 years there
have been two cases of Toronto cops shooting black people. One was
stabbing at people with scissors and another was armed with a hammer.
Bother had mental issues. Meanwhile, there is at least one young black
man shot by other young black man every week. Then there is Chicago, a
similar sized city where those numbers can be multiplied by 10. I don't
see BLM out there marching to protest the killing of of the other 99%.

These protests are not just about what is happening in Minneapolis, or
Minnesota, or the USA or France or elsewhere on this globe. Racism
and the brutality that goes with it happens all over this planet and
has been happening for centuries. You should have learned from the
pandemic that we are all connected these days thanks to ease of travel
and the wonderful smart phone. What was seen in those cell phone
videos hit sore spots around the globe. It was horrific and people
everywhere responded.

OTOH a friend and former colleague is from Trinidad and now lives in
Toronto. Her son was pulled over by the cops in a clear case of racial
stereotyping. However, he happens to be a lawyer, lecturing at Osgood
Hall, so they bit off more than they could chew.

You'll never see a black person marching, rioting, protesting, and looting
when they kill each other. It's 'business as usual.' But if that person
has a record as long as your arm, a convicted felon, a dope dealer and he
is killed heaven help us! "Ma baby din't do nuffin." Granny will chime in
with "he was such a sweet boy."
 
We've got a case here that happened overnight. Kelnisha, age 19, a 'customer
service representative at McDonalds' was mad at her 14-year-old sister because
she didn't get enough chicken. She picks up a knife and tries to stab 14
year-old. Police arrive and she charges out of the house, knife in hand,
and makes a run for mother and sister. Mother tackles dumb ass and the police
haul her stupid butt away and now she's facing charges of aggravated assault
and attempted murder.
 
Where are the protestors? What time is the candlelight vigil? Where will
they be meeting to draw their signs to carry? What route will they be
marching on?
 
Crickets, that's all you'll hear when you ask these questions.

It's pretty much a movement by young people. The older generation will be generally baffled by it all. Hopefully, it will bring about a new spirit of activism. The new generations are going to have to learn to stick together if they want to change the world.

Because there is nobody to blackmail, er, extort, in such situations.

It reminds me very much of 1967-68. A bunch of people demonstrated, went
home, and nothing really changed. This might well be the same.
 
Although we can (and should) make institutional changes, fundamentally
nothing will change as long as people teach racism to their children
in the cradle. Aristotle was right.

I frequently eat bean soup or stew. I soak the beans overnight before
preparing them with additions in my crock pot.
 
Yesterday I decided to try skipping the soaking. I put the dry great
northern beans, lots of water, and the usual additional stuff like onions,
bullion, garlic, etc. Added more water later as required.
 
After cooking the usual 8 hours or so I checked the beans to be sure they
had cooked and put the crock pot on low to keep the beans hot until supper.
 
Tasted same as usual. Now I think I will start skipping the soaking of the
beans when they are prepared in the crock pot.

My old company did. At first they paid half and I paid the other
half. One day, I asked for a raise and rather than an hourly
raise, I asked them to pay the other half of my insurance.
 
Boss said: "What are you going to do if you don't get it?"
Me (nervously): "I'll just have to look for a better job."
Boss: "I'll talk this over with my partner."
 
Next day he said, "You got your raise."

It must have been a small company and paying your portion of the health
insurance was probably better for them in the long run than giving you
a raise.

I just did a quick count of the items in my spice cabinet and spice
rack. There are more than 60 herbs and spices. Then there are several
bottles of vanilla, vanilla past, a half dozen hot sauces,
Whatsthisheresauce and a few others.

I drink about 2-3 quarts of water a day, most with all the pills I
take... one should drink at least a full 8 ounces of water with say a
Tylenol, in order to receive the full benefit and prevent stomach
problems pills require enough water to dissolve... a mouthful just to
swallow the pill is not enough. I don't drink bottled water, we have
our own one liter plastic bottles that are marked off in milliliters
that we fill with water from the reverse osmosis filter. Those
plastic bottles of water that are sold are really not very
pure/sanitary, that's why they are labeled with expiration dates, and
those empty bottles cause many tons of pollution.
