I am liking the new artistic upgrade to Chatgpt.

I asked it to generate a picture in the style of Ralph Steadman as per below;

Rashers: Sliced bacon, typically from the back or side of the pig, common in Ireland and the UK. Leaner than American streaky bacon.

Streaky bacon: Comes from pork belly, very fatty, common in the U.S.

Both are processed meats that are salted, cured, and often smoked. The WHO classifies processed meat (like bacon, ham, sausages) as a Group 1…[Read more]

I had chicken once. Tastes like possum.

Thanks, Reg!!

Have a great week!

Due to work getting in the way of life, today’s post is curtailed.

@Reg

Moving on, another word the two cultures share that actually refers to two wildly different things is the word “bacon.” Apparently, if you do find American-style bacon in the UK, it’s called something like “streaky bacon.” What’s the difference?

Yes, they come from different parts of the pig.…[Read more]

I eat PB&J’s on a regular basis. I consider them a treat with a cup (or mug!) of spiced tea, (Masala Chai). At least 3 times a week. It is a balanced meal. My preference is for smooth PB.

I’ve been exploring cooking videos lately, and watching non-Americans discover and even try making a simple peanut butter and jelly sandwich, which many of them turned into an adventure.

I think it was Churchill who described the linguistic difference between Americans and Brits as something like “Two peoples separated by a common language.”…[Read more]

The concept of “government free” free market is so cute. The drive for any company is always to monopolize, crush start-ups, control pricing and optimize profit over any and all social, environmental, or human welfare concerns. As an engineering manager with a 20 million annual budget working on a 250-million-dollar project; I was high enough to…[Read more]

Wondering if all of this slashing of services and tariff waring will actually result in tax cuts for what is left of the middle class. I doubt it will be more than a token break. It is the upper middle working class that carries the burden. People such as doctors, lawyers, engineers, accountants who get a W2 and honest small business owners as…[Read more]

The country is chock full of “single issue” voters who align with one party or the other. I do not agree that hating Jews or supporting Hamas is “liberal” or “left”.

White Christian Nationals despise Jews. Israel is just a necessary piece of the prophecy that brings their Jeebus back. If Israel goes away without the rapture, so does the whole…[Read more]
Unseen started the topic Greatest rock band of all time? in the forum Small Talk 1 year, 3 months ago

What I mean by greatest rock band of all time is specific. It does not refer to how many records they sold, the size of crowds they could draw, or how long they were together other than that they needed to be together for a while, say at least two years to eliminate short-lived supergroups or super jam sessions. I also don’t mean individual…[Read more]

Well, we allow billionaires who own mass media channels and social media websites to contribute hundreds of millions to political candidates.

Go ahead and tell me about “free” speech. What a crock of bullshit. Speech is not free…it is for sale and is owned by billionaires.

Having professional, educated people who are experts in their areas and…[Read more]

Robert,

If you think any of that (some that were honest mistakes) even compares to today’s Fox news or Newmax, you are nuts. They tell more lies a day than the multi-decade events you posted. Just look at our president, what an honest guy…literally controlling the chicken-shit media, suing the crap out of them. No, you…

The problems with news media started with the loss of local newspapers. . Many areas had 2 or more regular papers with opposing views. Local reporters kept local politicians and officials in check. In the last 20 years most of these have fallen victim to the mega corporations and local politicians “get away with more”. These “news deserts” were…[Read more]

It’s almost like people had…….what’s that word…..it’s been so long…..Oh yes, “integrity”. I vaguely remember that.

Yes, it has nothing to do with land. It is just the indoctrinated hatred of Jews by the poisoned minds of Islamist’s that is the problem. In the article I posted above about measles “that made me angry and sad”, the mother meets with RFK after her child dies from measles. A totally preventable death but she does not see that. She is still on “Team…[Read more]

Good cover. For some reason, anytime I have driven through Eufaula, Alabama and see the lake, I hear that song in my head.
