Sigh, my wife just drove 40 miles round trip to get a jar of mayonnaise to make potato salad. We do have all the required items to make it at home.

And the worst part of it all-- The grocery store was out of real mayonnaise so she came home with Miracle Whip…

I would put it to you that Horrible Freight buckets are superior to Lowes pails. But I’m not sure I could win that argument thanks to your demonstraion of effort and tenacity.

Me too. Well, I did make a bagel and tea.

That is a LOT of Lowes pails.

Having gone thrugh the litany or editors over the years. I have stripped down my needs to nano. I just need a quick edit here and there on occiasions.

They were once Gods…

Now they have been reduced to stupid cat videos.

I don’t. If they can’t read or spell, fuck 'em. I have no interest in talking to stupid people. Nor am I interested in stupid people that have no interest in continuing to learn and try new things. There are a surprising number of adults that refuse to do so.

It’s still faster for me to tell you that you are an idiot for calling me with a phone call you made to me than it is for me to type out a reply as a text message.

But that requires a commitment! Can’t be put into that box!

God I hate text messaging. Instead of pissing away half a day or more sending text messages back and forth, call me and I will solve the problem you texted me about in less than a 1 minute. 5 minutes if you require a technical explanation.

Fookin’ waste of my time and day.

Even that doesn’t always work. There is one channel I know of that got auto banned despite using live shots of everyone doing live introductions of their stories.

I also forgot about the early Dutch press operators that old Bill Caxton hired that gave us the silent h in words like ghost because that was close to ghast. And wh got added because they thought it looked better the the standard hw that was common at the time. Ok, that one is kind of a wash.

The standardization of spelling that printing presses require added a nasty list of silent letters to the English language that weren’t there before thanks to those early press operators.

Oh, we steal words. And we will continue to steal words until we have them all!

English suffers from adopting a lot of words from other languages. We got a mix of Germanic, French, a bit of Spanish and Italian, and for the US English, whatever butchery the Brits did/do. (See: The Great vowel shift and Soccer) You smash all those languages together and then let the Brits spend a few hundred years mangling everything and see what you get for rules.

Today English is still willing to file the serial numbers off of any cool sounds and claim as our own. So, Damn the Rules! It makes for interesting words.

But I still blame the French for no other reason than I can.

Harbor Freight will sell you cheap cutting tools for this kind of work.

As is tradition.

I’m impressed! I have never attempted to make home made mayo myself. I should try to do it before I die.

A fantastic job! there are years more use out of that chair. Trim that long boy off and it will be the chef’s kiss of perfection.

Isn’t it funny how people who “have things” are less likely to be all that interested in leftism. And those who don’t have “things” look at them, want more leftism because they want want the “things” the people who have “things” and they don’t have.

And neither side understands the other.

“Currently trying”. Well, that only took several generations to pull their collective heads out of their asses. Imagine what that industrial/military complex is going to eventually cost EU citizens. Once you get on that particular horse, it’s hard to get off.
