  • I process garlic into a paste with lots of olive oil and a touch of lemon juice to keep it from going fluorescent green too fast.

    I do an entire 1Kg bag of garlic at a time. The garlic paste rarely lasts more than a month, and frequently fails to last the month. In fact, when I make Cæsar Salad, using an entire head of Romaine, I usually use a good 4 heaping soup spoons - at least 300ml if not more - in that single salad.

    The fun bit is that my stomach has begun bioreacting garlic. I have to restrict my salads to days I don’t head out, least I drop munitions on the general public every minute or three. And not silent ones, either… nooooooo, we’re talking 10-20s long buzz bombs, like the world’s biggest whoopie cushion.


  • Men are scared women will laugh in their face

    Counterpoint: https://archive.ph/s0bTd

    An innocen man lost his career, his wife and children, and his home. That’s a little more than “a laugh to the face”.

    And she only got caught because she went to the police. The vast majority of accusations are designed to never come even remotely close to anything properly investigative. They’re meant to impart the maximum amount of social and economic destruction with a minimum of accountability - and preferably none at all.

    Cherry on top:

    As for the good Samaritan, he says the incident has deterred him from helping a young woman ever again.

    And a large number of men are learning from the misfortunes of other men, rather than experiencing such pain and destruction personally. This is why “chivalry” is dead. And good riddance.

    And she only got caught because she went to the police. Most accusations are only meant to destroy careers, so never come close to anything even remotely investigative. HR washes their hands of the man, (usually) blackballs him in the industry, and never tries to find out anything more beyond the woman’s accusation.

    Men are seeing incidents like this, and learning by example before painful experience hammers it home.



  • I think I should have been a librarian.

    Not in America, you don’t. Librarians are getting doxxed, harassed, and getting death threats for protecting everyone’s right to read.

    Some are even being arrested over the right to read.

    It’s an ugly time to be a defender of truth and rights in today’s America.


  • The WiFi alone is enough to keep me employed.

    30+ years in the IT industry, 44 using computers.

    I will go through extraordinary lengths to hardline a system with an Ethernet port just to avoid using wireless.

    It’s not that I don’t know wireless - I do. And that’s the problem. Even after three decades of using it, I still consider it to be by far the most unreliable and downright skanky networking method possible.
