Today's trip to the grocery store: a thread. ImageImageImageImage
Lots of treadmills just hanging out on ships off the coast, apparently. ImageImageImageImage
Good thing people don't need frivolous extras like groceries, huh? ImageImageImageImage
What was it they told us? "You need to cut back on spending so much on stuff you don't need!" ImageImageImageImage
"This is a good thing, because it means more people are buying goods!" — White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki.

"Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" — Elizabeth Willing Powel

"A republic, if you can keep it." — Benjamin Franklin
Here's a dot gov source for this quote, which is in fact, rather famous, and can be found everywhere.

This is simple, basic civics stuff. Journalists are supposedly educated and smart. If they somehow didn't know this well-known concept, it's an easy lookup. But that's not what they want. They don't want their viewers educated; they want them to accept their lies at face value.

Welp, you voted for it. Here goes a thread on olives for all you preppers and prepperettes! Reply below with your stupid AMA questions!
Olives! Let's talk about olives! So delicious, but such a stigma about how they arrive from the tree to your table.
First of all, green and black olives are the exact same thing, just in different stages of maturity. If you want green olives, pick 'em early. If you want black olives, pick 'em late.

El Paso is now facilitating sanctuary cities to be sanctuary cities.
The left has shown the only way illegal immigration becomes a discussion point outside of conservative circles is to see those who've entered illegally show up in sanctuary cities and enclaves full of rich leftists.
There are, of course, a number of problems with this. First, it becomes a quick photo op (complete with cheap, off-brand cereal because we don't want to waste it on *these* people), and turns into a media-driven rally point for showing just how caring and magnanimous the left is. ImageImage

Inflation is up to 9.1% this month, and that's *with* a month of gas prices in slight decline. What's it gonna be next month when they go back up?
And yes we most likely will see higher prices at the pump. The Biden administration wants them higher. They've said as much. Their policies of killing oil projects and limiting production show this. Diesel is still near all-time highs. That's going to continue to affect shipping.
We've seen farmer protests around the world. That affects supply — not instantly, but after a while. It's getting more expensive to ship goods, which will again affect prices. Nothing is being done to alleviate this, which means we've just seen the tip of the inflationary cycle.

I've been stuck at 19.4K followers for a long while now, no matter how many follows I get. Once in a great while it'll hit 19.5 followed by a quick purge. One of the more interesting tests for new Elon Musk Twitter is when/if that stagnation will change.
My hunch was that 20K had some sort of significance for accounts, thus the throttling.
Of course, I could lose a bunch initially if there's a real bot purge. That's something that needs to happen too.

That background check and waiting period just to buy a new assaultwater pole is ridiculous!
At least you can skip the waiting period when buying a fly fishing rig. Just don't have a buddy try to purchase one for you if you can't get one yourself!
And California still requires identification for purchasing lures and hooks! But hey, the Constitution was written for bass fishing, not for all-you-can-catch ocean tuna fishing! "Tuna" isn't even in the Constitution!
