Well, I just got a new position that gives me a 22% raise so I'll be doing better now.

The 1M sat hamburger is the new $100 hamburger.

Be careful. This may get traction.

No. Shhh. He is legend...

I'm looking at getting my first handgun soon. Trying to choose between the standard 9mm and the compact. Looking at mostly using it for predator protection in the woods, with home defense as a second function.

I believe that there is far less evidence that ir saunas have the same health benefits as traditional saunas. I'm sure that they're still providing some heat shock protein synthesis, but not nearly as much. If you can't do both, go traditional.

I worked at E&J Gallo for an internship, and it was fascinating how vertically integrated they were. They had their own glass plant, made their own (synthetic) corks, glass, labels and foils.

Buckminster Fuller proposed a system where energy would be the basis of a global currency and a new standard of wealth. He envisioned a "time-energy world accounting system" that tied the prices of goods and services to the resources used for their production and compensated everyone for their labor and their share of renewable energy. Fuller's ideas, dating back to the 1920s, included a "time standard" of wealth and a "true dollar" tied to the amount of energy available worldwide. He also proposed an integrated world electric grid by connecting the U.S. and Russian systems.

I had some type 3 fun camping in -20 degree weather. The water in my bag froze despite being on my chest in my sleeping bag. It was fun in retrospect...

Still can't quite get hands right...

I'm leaning towards alternative dimensions, nukes don't do great there...
