I think you would find having absolutely no money problems at all will go along way towards the resolving any self-loathing LOL

If someone approached me when I was in my 30s and told me they had a career opportunity that would make me a multi millionaire in 10 years and one of the most influential people in media in 20 and all I had to do was be such a noxious piece of garbage that people will celebrate my death I would take that deal in a heartbeat! Tell me you wouldn’t and I’ll call you a liar LOL

Oh my God I thought you were jokingOh my God I thought you were joking

LOL I have solar and it’s so useful right no I had to turn it off! I’m going to go with this being God‘s punishment. We’re so evil he rotated earth so the northern hemisphere Is further away from the sun. And if we’re not nice he’ll do it again next year! sometimes I feel sorry for God. He catches hell for a lot of stupid things

He was a guy doing schtick on the radio. That’s about it. No different from Howard Stern, Glenn Beck, Randi Rhodes or the long list of others. The fact that he had such an influence and lasted so long is that he was selling a product that people were buying. Disliking someone for that is like disliking John Sterling for calling radio games for the Yankees. If you didn’t want to listen to it just turn it off. Hell I did 25 years ago back when he had a TV show. I’ve never understood all the screeching and screaming for him to be taken off the radio. If you don’t like it, don’t listen.

Cancer is a terrible way to go. You wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Nevertheless some of the comments that are bubbling up from the media world shows how pretty classless people really are. Whatever you think of the man’s politics it’s kind of not cool to celebrate the fact that he died. Anyway de mortuis nihil nisi bonum

It’s seriously bloody freaking cold out there and the damned snow is shin high. dammit I chose to live in the south because I don’t want to deal with this kind of weather! But at least we still have power. It went out for a little bit yesterday but I have a generator so that’s no big deal. I shut the solar system off to protect the batteries. Small good in this weather anyway. Even if there was sun I’m not going out there to clean the damn snow off of it

LOL! No, Memphis has Overton Square. The rest of it is either redneck, industrial, tourist traps or not so nice!

Lulu the Border Collie inherits $5M I have a similar trust set up for my dog. Put the ain’t near as that much money in it

Georgia has reached the point where Atlanta and Savanna’ can overwhelm the rest of the state.

Portland is no different than any other midsize city. Whatever you were looking for if you don’t bring it there you probably won’t find it there.

He should have stuck with being a lawyer. Or maybe not. His unauthorized advance into Kentucky made them sympathetic to the Union. Plus you could argue he, Floyd, and Buckner lost the war when they abandoned Fort Donaldson (and their men) to Grant. That mostly settled the war in the west. But probably just as well. Had the CSA had competent leadership in the west who knows how much longer it might have dragged on.

It's SNOWING. Heavily by our standards. I fed the chickens in their house and checked their heater. God help the hens if Duke is feeling randy today. There is no running away from him. Sunny took two steps out into the yard to do her business and beat a hasty retreat to the house. I'm going to make a pot of coffee, a bowl of oatmeal and watch some TV. Re-watching "From the Earth to the Moon" on HBO Max.

Pentagon admits it has been testing wreckage from UFO crashes & findings may ‘change our lives forever,’ expert says OK, this is not the NY Times. But still, a news piece like this you'd figure would make a bigger splash. Especially since there are a heck of a lot of them coming from credible new sources over the last two years. Now, I am pre-disposed to be skeptical of this kind of them. But still... I think most folks would refuse to believe in aliens even if Joe Biden introduced one at the next Press Briefing.

Depends on what the sediment is. Lime deposits are neutrally buoyant for example. Iron deposits can leave you with clear water but scale residue once it evaporates. These kinds of suspended solids are not harmful in the quantities you are likely to have coming from a natural water source. But they definitely affect quality. A 100 micron filter would likely eliminate 95% of suspended and fix the taste. so long as your water is not too acidic. If it IS acidic that is what you need to fix. You could test the PH pretty easily. anything below 7.2 or above 8.4 is not going to taste good. If the water is too "soft" or too "hard" a water softener will fix that. The fact that you only notice the difference in the summer leads me to believe it's environmental rather than chemical. For example in the summer the ground isn't frozen so rainfall causes collected metals, carbon and calcium in the soil over the winter to filter into the aquifer. So filtration is likely all you need to worry about. If you don't mind throwing a little money at the problem a reverse osmosis filter will cure almost all water problems. Low volume RO's are cheap but but one for the whole house will set you back more than a few Euros. But I suspect a more dense filter will fix your problem based on the way you described it.

Washington DC, where one rat tribe tries to convince everyone the other rat tribe is a rat tribe. They are both right. Just because one is worse doesn't make the other good. And which one IS worse is a fluid situation. Right now it's the red rats. Later it will be the blue. In the past they have rotated. F--k all of them. There are naught but villains here.

You might need to put a sediment filter in line. The water may have too many suspended solids

I’ve got a well into the natural aquifer. The water is close to perfect. Alkaline enough to taste good but not enough to be “hard”

Spent the day reading and playing Crusader Kings 3. I made blackened catfish and butter beans for dinner.

Well, I’m well prepared for when SHTF. I’d advise everyone do likewise

Communications to be reestablished with voyager 2 those folks down in Canberra did a monster job on that and did it well

Panthers 5 Lightning 2 HUZZAH!

US budget deficit to exceed $2.3 trillion for 2021 The government spending deficit exceeds the rate of growth. Our economy is expanding against all reason or odds but it really isn’t because we’re going to be a negative growth for government spending. Oh and by the way in case anybody wonders why “nothing“ cost $48,000 per coin, this is why. this is also why gold is trading for double it’s real world value. Tick tock tick tock....
