Hello Clarice

A friend of ours had breast cancer, got treatment, it went into remission. Fast forward a few years, she thinks it might be recurring. She calls her doctor. Four month wait for the test. She decides to go South to the US. Pays a chunk, gets the test right away, yep, cancer confirmed

What would have happened if she had had to wait four months for a diagnosis? Would it have been too late?

The way health systems work now only makes sense in the context of profit and expense. People are used to going without so that either taxpayer funded systems can squeeze their budgets as tightly as possible, or for-profit systems can milk the last nickel from anyone in need.

It’s a disgrace. Whether the government budget is squeezed to control debt and deficit levels or people are abused and mistreated for profit, it comes down to this filthy, unfair, colonial system based on monetary and banking systems introduced in the later years of the British Empire.

People should be rioting at the treatment that the billionaire class deems acceptable for them. There is no practical reason other than greed for any of this.

I remember about a decade ago talking about tofu recipes with a colleague who lifted and ate a protein heavy diet.

An older colleague heard us and warned us that eating tofu would cause you to have a surplus of estrogen and make you more feminine.

He was telling this to a guy built like a brick shithouse who had eaten tons of soy protein for the better part of a decade.

It’s that same old thing, something different comes along and some people just have to parrot anything that goes against that thing, even if it’s complete and utter horseshit

I remember stories from my dad about a guy he knew where the bar maid would have to help him with the first drink in the morning because his hands would shake so much.

The romantic history of the happy drunk is almost entirely fictional. I say almost because I know a few people who are able to take it or leave it, but for the most part the people I know/knew who were drinking either in bunches or daily end up complete and unabridged alcoholics, whether they are active and in serious trouble or have sought help and straightened up, but cannot touch it.

So selfish, what about shareholder profit? We can really increase our margins by getting rid of Dougie and the crew. Get your “connection” on your own time, gramps

When I’m really craving something sweet, I’ll have a shot glass of maple syrup, preferably a light, early batch.

French style crepes, paper thin, with slices of ham and gruyere between them the first time, then maple syrup and/or whipped cream and berries the second time, to finish.

I like salvaging dried baguettes by busting them into chunks and then soaking them overnight in the cream -egg-vanilla mixture so they’re fully saturated.

Eat the axes!

I prefer buttering fresh fruit and then blistering them under the broiler

Doesn’t misinformation involve intent? Aunt Marge probably thought she was right.

It does have some very unique features, like if you submit a print job that is larger than fifteen pages it goes on strike

I won’t spare you, but you feel free to keep talking about whatever you want

Bought a coke at a little corner store in Beijing. Asked for a straw. They brought a watermelon.

Why not pop over and see Montana while you’re here?

Can’t you install graphene on Pixel 6 and later?
