The gauntlet has been thrown down. It landed on a toe.

@coagain1 Truth. I've seen a few people get a little too into prepping, but by and large most people live their lives like everything is always going to be O.K. with no hiccups. Hopefully Covid19 made some people re-think that assumption. In the Toyota Production System(lean) excess inventory is seen as a waste because it has to be tracked and managed. I think this is pretty evident, because properly prepping is a lot of work. How do you draw the lines between contingency planning and excess?

2nd place, hard to beat apple pie🤷‍♂️

Let’s see how I do in the church pie contest…

Timber is still a bit uneasy about the Jack-In-The-Box!

If the PRC is against something, there is a good chance that you should look into it if you love freedom.

@Toolman@dingdash.com Thinking of you in all of this. I'm sorry for your loss and that you had to go through the trauma that is the "hospital experience". It is good to know that God is sovereign and with us always, especially in times such as these.

@xyzzy Just seeing this thread. Awesome. Thanks for a trip down memory lane!

Finally got around to messing with cryptocurrencies this week, despite reading the Bitcoin white paper not long after it was published. Here's my 2 cents. This is a pretty revolutionary and cool technology despite its cult-like following and I think it has staying power. The mining process uses a lot of power which some consider waste. What I consider most interesting is that a government's reaction to crytocurrency seems to be good gauge of a given society's freedom. I recommend trying it out.

@beerrs @Patriot_CO I would go out on a limb and suggest that because conservatives are more often Christian, they err on the side of grace, understanding that the tenet of neighborly love trumps a person’s beliefs and worldview. Even though we are broken and wrong in the head, God loves us and provided a path back to Him and regeneration.

Heidi and I had a downtown adventure today!

OK, I've been fairly successful with sticking to the WFPBD, but there are times when you're out with friends or it's been a long day and it's either fast food or nothing. Giving Taco Bell a shout-out for their nutrition transparency and relatively healthy possibilities. Take notes other fast food companies. People want to eat well and guess what? If your customers are healthy, they can give you money for a couple of decades longer than the average American.

@cjd "Just imagine, you could pass down this Shake-A-Weight to your great grandson."

@cjd It's weird, but I think it's best to wait for a technology/gadget to mature through market iterations before making it long lasting. Those principles are good, but it's hard to figure out how much better things could be if they're good enough and still work. Guns are a pretty good example of what you're talking about too.

Crispix is better than Chex. A bowl is like a time machine to the 80’s for me.

@corceeeee @MisterRogersSnapped I loved that book as a kid, but yes 1/3rd of it is listing sea creatures.
