Eh, it’s less about which is the “better choice” and more about “how good does good enough need to be”. With a dash of the 80/20 rule.

I don’t want you to call, text, email, or so much as send me smoke signals. The only time I want to hear from you is when I get up, walk over to you, and slap the snot out of you. And when I do, all I want to hear is you begging for mercy and the sound of your tears.
For those that don’t get the joke: .//////// (or am I?)

The US has legally defined retirement ages too. And if you plan, I know malice afore thought isn’t your strong suit, you can have a decent retirement also.

I started before that. I did some LTL and OTR driving. You could find showers and some washing machines, if they were working, to wash your clothes along the interstates, but get off the road any distance and that all went away. I always loved getting to Ohio because their wayside rest stops had free showers for truck drivers. A welcome relief from paying $5 to $8 dollars to take a shower. If you wanted a free shower, you had to buy enough fuel for that.
He might be pissed now about driving 16 hours, but I can guarantee that he did drive those hours at times back in the day.

Just like the Japanese and Chinese right?

That’s the cool part. You never could get those things. So don’t think this is anything new.

Well fack my spell checker and lack of tea. But to be fair, there was a LOT of unlawful sex involved too.

Get some. There is a reason Darjeeling is often referred to as the “Champagne of Teas”.
- Comment on Why Should I... 2 weeks ago:
I’ve got a recipe from my Ojibwa neighbor’s Grandmother for roasted grouse made with nothing more than honey, salt, and cranberries roasted in duck fat. Served with wild rice cooked with cranberries. The subtleties of the dish will blow your mind. It makes delicate Japanese dishes look like all show and no go flavor. The smokiness of the hand parched wild rice set against the tart cranberries is to die for. A meal meant for kings, (And Queens if you swing that way)!
And she can’t get enough potato klub, lefse, and lutefisk when I make those Norwegian dishes I learned from my Grandmother and Mother.
It’s like there is no accounting for food tastes.

And Chinese and interestingly Indian food is catching on also.

No, no it was all about subagitation and money. You know, the thing us crackers do best.

Dammit Hony, now I need to order yet another good Darjeeling Fall leaf tea…

You must not pay much attention to what is placed on your burger then. Burger King or McDonald’s is all the same stack of crap on a bun. They both smother the patty with all the stuff I listed to hide the low quality. No matter if it’s a beef whopper or the impossible whopper. If you don’t believe me, buy one of each and take them apart to compare.
- Comment on Why Should I... 3 weeks ago:
The buns, the catsup, mustard, “special sauce”, the onions, the pickles, the cheese, lettuce, and don’t forget the sesame seeds! You could put a piece of cardboard in that McDonald’s hamburger and not be able to tell the difference…
- Comment on Why Should I... 3 weeks ago:
If you need to hide the taste with all that crap, can it really taste good?
- Comment on Why Should I... 3 weeks ago:
That’s a straight up case of dumping enough crap on top of each patty that you can’t tell what the hell you are eating anyway.
Try cooking each patty with nothing more than a bit of salt and eat them plain with nothing else, not even a bun, and then tell me you can’t taste the difference.

Not with that attitude they won’t be.

Open your horizons…

Try a nice German mustard or a Dijon. Or mix a bit of good horseradish in with it. There is a lot more to mustard than plain yellow mustard, (which is great on hotdogs with relish).

No ketchup. Only mustard! Get a hold of your ovaries and man up!
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Hey, ketchup/catsup, (choose your spelling - we don’t discriminate), has it’s place. It’s fine for the sick, old and infirm or small children with weaker constitutions. But anyone purporting to be an adult, a form of mustard is the only choice.
And yes, there are other sauces to be used as called for in the moment.

I like the little bit smaller size and weight over my Amphibia for daily wear too. Toss in a NATO strap and it’s a good looking piece.

That might be, but the 10 year old vehicles I own are not very likely to do that.

Oh my. My one daughter just published 2 research papers on household thermostats. And according to her long term testing, Nest is one to definitely avoid.

That’s mostly a quality and skill issue. People cheap out and buy low quality gages. My 40 year old stick gage is as accurate as is needed and very repeatable in my hands. And it measures up to 150psi.
And remember, this stuff isn’t that accurate anyway. It just good enough and that’s it.
