Politicians...
 
Here, the premier of the state lifted various covid measures when
everybody knew there was a huge omicron wave coming. The wave came and
now the health system's crumbling under the large number of cases.
Non-elective surgery's being postponed. Doctors and nurses already
were on their last legs and are barely coping now. So what does the
premier say: "The health system's doing fine."
 
Politicians are unbelievable.

>I agree. Even with the stronger ones I feel natural immunity is best. Get sick and get well or get sick and die. The medical industry makes me sick.
 
I do not consider this virus warrants the reaction it's getting. It's
blown way out of proportion, but anyway, I'm not much in the mood for
this subject today.
 
>They tore the tobacco industry apart and have replaced it with something far worse. Truth is all these industries are sickening because they all need the very thing they profess to be against. Cops need crime, doctors need disease, dentists need tooth decay, and so forth. I can't speak for your town, but the one I've been living in the past 27 years, Winston Salem NC, was a big tobacco town (which is why there are Winston and Salem cigarets), and is now dominated by the medical industry. Even the old tobacco lofts have been refurbished to accommodate the drones working for Baptist Hospital. Of course tobacco is not good for people, especially if they overuse it. But you knew what you were dealing with. The same can not be said of the products the medical people are putting out. Like most people I do not want to die, but I am
>for the get sick and get well or get sick and die routine on this one. Too many doctors and too many people relying on them in futile efforts to live forever. Man it's sickening.
 
It's true people in general should take greater personal
responsibility. Most seem to want to do nothing to improve their own
general health, never mind immune system. Being independent in any way
is progressively being discouraged, too.

Indeed. The public is paying a very high price for the illusion of
safety. So will future generations.

Yes and that's people in the industry and hospitality. It's reminds me
of that website about Asian English. People who don't really know any
English making public signs and notices in English.

I recently paid USD11 per kilo for chuck steak here, which is a fairly
normal price at butcher shops (not supermarkets). So, that works out
roughly USD$5/lb.
 
Have some thawed out in the fridge, will make either beef rendang or
massaman curry with it today.

>Thanks for that, but I think he was actually very polite with his response. I didn't get a demeaning or challenging vibe from his words. I think he genuinely wanted to know. You are correct, they are entitlement programs - and believe me I am entitled. I worked for minimum wage most of my life. I worked for the weekend, never thought I'd get anywhere through work and still think the vast majority of people won't either. So I worked just to get by. I paid into the system. I'm getting what I deserve, the bare minimum, $800 a month plus food stamps and cheap rent in a HUD place. Some people sound jealous and resentful of my position. But if given an opportunity to trade places with me, I guarantee they wouldn't take it. I am content with it although if I somehow came into big money I'd find another place to live. But I'm not looking. I moved in here 4 years ago at age 70 and tend to see it as my final stop. Thanks.
 
It sounds like you're comfortable and that's the main thing.
 
We also have public housing in Australia, although any adult under a
certain income can apply. The keyword being 'apply', because you may
be waiting more than a decade to actually be inside your own public
housing. This varies state by state, but these days the system has
deteriorated quite a lot. The demand is always too high. Some states
already have a (rental) housing shortage, even if you can afford to
pay full prices.

Alt-225 on your keyboard should work to make a 'ß', or simply copy and
paste it.

It's kind of a play on 'Jesus'. This is where I got it from:

I have hitch hiked all over the place, taken buses, driven across the country many times, but the only non American countries I've been to are border towns in Mexico and a few towns in Quebec and Ontario Canada. I don't fly and never will, so this is it for me.
 
If I was USAian, I'm sure by now I would have traveled both Nth and

I can't help but wonder if he overshares that information in his

Sheldon's sailed the seven seas which is more than you. More than me also. I've only sailed five of the seven, although all of these trips were accomplished in a two man dingy. I once drove, along with my life partner, I once drove from Porteegal, round the Horn, into the Specific
Ocean, and up into Peru. You? Ever been to Lima? No? Didn't think so. And even if you were there, it was probably by way of the Swift Current.

But were you slinging hash the whole time? Next time take the
Bahanama canal - it's much quicker!
 
And I *have* taken the Swift Current route several times on my way
from Sasaktoon in search of Freedom Fries and quinoa. Lucky guess -
I'll give it a B+

Bad form, I know. But I had to modify the first paragraph slightly.
It's allowed since I bear a poetic license.

Try Finnan Haddie poached in milk. Or not. Then there's kippers. Not trout or salmon, but each of these dishes were at one time popular for breakfast. Of course there is salmon on a bagel with cream cheese.

I made this today and IMO it's much better than pancakes. Also quick and easy.
 
Did it a little different than the recipe above.
 
Used 100% Buckwheat flour
Toasted some pine nuts and added diced pear
Poured the batter over the pine nuts and pear
Baked
 
The buckwheat flour makes for a denser product but I like the flavor.
 
Served with warm maple syrup.
