Honestly I don’t know how they dress, but it can’t be worse than us. I remember when pants hanging mid thigh was cool. We just got lucky boxers we’re the thing at the time.

I prefer the side cut options. No sharp edges but you still get good penetration and drainage. Zishi was the best option the last time I bought 5.

Upvoted for the last sentence. Gun and weapon ownership represents the counterbalance of incumbent control. Current control should always be nervous of new powers and new powers should always have the ability to intrude. The lac will introduce a reproductive drift to the detriment of intelligence.

Probably closer to 10:1 or 15:1 in the cases that matter. But since the cases in fact wont willingly surrender the most likely outcome is a Ruby Ridge style stand off for most. Resulting in a body count that dooms national elections. Democrats aren’t stupid enough to endorse even for one term.

Guns are designed to kill that is why they are inherently political.

If I don’t like what you do, say, or are I can kill you. That is what guns do. That is what everyone wants.

If you don’t like that guess what you need guns too. That’s why arms dealers always win.

It’s why both sides are opposed to gun control. Gun Control means authoritarian governance, Your kids are sacrificed on the alter of incumbent Control (assuming Global Dominance 2011+).

Gods we aren’t even into the drift wars.

Yep, it’s to protect the hunter/butcher. Deer are known vectors for Bluetongue and Tuberculosis (unpleasant but not fatal thanks to antibiotics), but the new reason that has the CDC recommending gloves is Chronic Wasting Disease. There are no human cases currently but several studies indicate that humans may be able to contract it and given that it has no treatment or vaccine limiting exposure it probably for the best until more is known.

As to why you haven’t seen this? Well it’s a fairly new disease and doesn’t appear to have spread to the UK or mainland Europe. I didn’t start using gloves myself until ~5 years ago.

Definitely not. Cucumbers don’t have enough sugars to reach the sweet/sour threshold that make pickling worth eating to my taste.

Ahhh, earth aged vegetable oil you are quite the connoisseur, sir.

I don’t know about agricultural inspectors but I’ve done butcher work. If they are reputable they don’t send out cuts that have been exposed to disease or weren’t purged(dosed) before slaughter.

As to not liking the touch I can respect that. I have more than a few partners that felt the same. It doesn’t bother me that much just due to the fact I’ve been handling it since I was a kid.

Pickled veggies, bleh. Pickled fruit, fuck yes.

There is just something about that sweet and sour flavor that hits right. Pickled pears, apricots, and plums are my favorites.

Man, you and I may just be opposites on this. I love the crust; it’s my favorite part of bread. I save the smooth top part for last on sandwiches cause it’s my favorite part. I even construct my sandwiches so that the tastiest internals are near the top crust.

Even with French and Italian bread I will pull out the crumb and smear the crust with butter, mayo, or soup to eat on it’s own.

Unless you are talking about wild game meat the need for gloves means the butcher and the rancher fucked up.

You shouldn’t need gloves for beef, pork, chicken, or farmed game animals. You should only need to wash your hands after handling.

Wild game has additional requirements due to new diseases that spread via skin contact and parasites. If you are dressing or processing a deer you need to be wearing gloves and probably a mask for the later.

Motels “housekeeping” may or may not exist; bring a blacklight if you don’t want to sleep. Long stay hotels require you request housekeeping during your stay (if under one month), and generally only refresh when you check out. Hotels provide daily turndown service including fresh sheets, towels, and consumables (soap, tissues, toilet paper, mints, etc.)

Tipping in the US pays for service (base rates typically only cover base stuff room, food, parking, etc). Housekeeping and Valet are both traditionally included alongside wait staff. Valets are a big one as it typically falls under a luxury service, just check your mileage before tipping as you may double down in gas/wear if your car is nice enough. For Housekeeping this is only really for Hotels (not motels and not long term stay hotels) and it covers daily sheet/towel changes, garbage removal, etc.

My only exceptions are Housekeeping and Valet, but for food table service(I include delivery under this lable) is required for a tip. Takeout is a no go.

Technically it’s required everywhere due to the national minumum wage law (up to 7.25/hr not the state’s min wage if it’s higher, that depends on state laws). If they don’t it’s wage theft, but so few employees know this that it happens all the time and basically never gets reported.

I have an appointment for a massive coronary in my late 60s, and I’d hate to miss it.

I am a much better cook than my parents barring two exceptions, my mother is an incredible baker and my dad is a master with an old school barrel smoker (his smoked salmon/trout and ribs are amazing). Outside of those two specialties though neither can cook for shit, I legitimately though I hated pasta and steak until I started cooking for myself at 15.

Spoken like a fossil.

This comm profile is only used by those badly skirting modern surveillance. It might have a future as an official black channel, but nothing truly covert.

Close enough, but yes.

British pudding in the situation called out is close enough for me. If they are willing to pervert toast, I’m willing to pervert bread.

Even pudding is getting fucked in the ass with this metaphor.
