Another side bar on high fructose corn syrup vs cane sugar, is that the US makes an enormous amount of the high fructose stuff as a by product of all the corn they grow. However, it would appear that the US does not make cane sugar to any large extent, and would need to import the cane sugar from South America. This of course, will also be…[Read more]

There are plenty of names that disguise the sugar hidden in foods.

Robert,

Nobody’s circle-jerking over Trump here. As for me, there’s more to life than Orange Man.

And as of this moment, Trump hasn’t yet pardoned Ghislane Maxwell, just said that he could pardon her and that no one has approached him about it.

And look at it this way: Everything Trump has done on delaying revelation of the Epstein Files…[Read more]

Not an encouraging list and that is only scratching the surface. But i will say however insignificant i like Mexican coke! And coke will be able to raise prices because sugar cane is more costly than high fructose yuck syrup. Lessons that might have made an indelible impression from seventh grade are jettisoned in favor of? Here is a response from…[Read more]

So how’s the MAGA circle jerk going up in here ? 4AM club, wow. Pres’s DOJ is pardoning a convicted pedophile ring-leader for her silence, but you guys know how prioritize.

Always hear that “tough talk” from old white guys one stroke away from sucking on blue-state government boob. I gotta laugh when even the Q Shaman gives up on Trump, but hey…[Read more]

The Israel/Hamas war is a field day for Islamists and far left. Spreading hatred of Israel/Jews by promoting lies and bs and having the centrist and lefty media especially in their pocket. The way issues are framed by CNN and MSNBC et al absolutely laughably dishonest. Just keep repeating lies. It ain’t too tough to get em swept off their…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers,

More on the 4 AM clubbers:

Most likely, what happened is they all received an e-mail blast from a Krunckt Kackling Kammie Fan Club mail server at exactly 4 AM and all of their Smart devices woke them up simultaneously.

A half-asleep Gia Prism then interprets this common phenomenon as the Universe “split” and rip in the…[Read more]

Jake,

I was mistaken about the source of the musical line. It was Joe Cocker who had the album called Mad Dogs and Englishmen, drawn from the Nöel Coward song of the same name and the song “The Ballad of Mad Dogs and Englishmen” by Leon Russell.

Enco,

If i used a musician’s line it was like convergent evolution. Which line?

Fellow Unbelievers,

Woo comes in all stripes and flavors and here is yet another example:

Jake,

The line from Wordsworth, as well the line from Jethro Tull, were most recognizable. I studied English Romantic Poets years ago. Jethro Tull occasionally comes on local independent radio stations and I enjoy that when it happens.

The rest of that, though, was so disjointed. Laser-focus on one topic before you rant, those are so much…[Read more]

@jakelafort – I am a coward too when it comes to the midday sun. Anything over the mid 20’s and I am indoors.  Was I chopping chilies? No, just applying sun-cream. Now I can’t read for the next 30 minutes. Silly Billy. SF 50 good, SF 496 bad. If the logocracy takes hold in the mid 2020’s, I am sure you will be on the front line of the resistance,…[Read more]

Enco,

Generally it is mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the mid-day sun. I typically avoid it. Too much of it makes me feel sick. Once in a blue i go out there on a hot summer day. Something stupid like golf or being on a boat.

It is exactly the opposite feeling about sunshine on a cold winter’s day when there is true felicity in apricity. One…[Read more]

Thanks Beanie.

I’ve never filched or used AI to express my thoughts. I do however throw in literary references from time to time.

First line is Wordsworth. It’s a poem i’ve committed to memory.

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake,…[Read more]

Jake,

Instead of sunscreen, perhaps less time in the Sun would be best. What are you on about, or all about, or just on? Pick your prepositional phrase.

popeBeanie,

All very good points underscoring why “All Natural=All Good” is a Fallacy.

The EU and our own home-grown MAGA anti-science freaks need to learn from Sri Lanka how costly and deadly that Fallacy is too:

Awesome prose, as usual. I was impressed enough to ask AI, and see if it seems smart enough to know if it was written by AI. IMO, it passed my test, although I don’t think the reasoning it gave was…[Read more]
