All right!
Reminder time!
🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪

MOST INJURIES FROM TORNADOES ARE AS FOLLOWS:

• Head injuries during the storm, and
• Foot injuries after the storm when people go outside.

A large chunk of Ontario is currently storm warned. Figure out the spot in your house that puts the maximum number of walls between you and outside.

🪖🪖🪖🪖
Go RIGHT NOW, and put a HELMET and a pair of HARD SOLED SHOES for every person who will be sheltering in that space.
👞👞👞👞

The helmet is for preventing head injuries while things are blowing around, and the hard soled shoes are so that you won't step on nails or other damaging debris after the storm. I hope like hell you don't need either of those things.

Much better to go do that now and not need it, than NOT do it and NEED it.

One day Ima write a whole piece on social engineering, but in the meantime here is my number one tip on how to not being a walking security hole:

LET PEOPLE BE WRONG.
No, you don't have to correct them.

The easiest way I have learned to get people to spill shit they shouldn't be telling you is to be wrong about something.

People love to be right. Let them correct you on a small thing, first, then they will feel good about telling you SHIT THEY ABSOLUTELY SHOULDN'T BE SAYING.

If I can resist correcting an oversized goon who's been harassing me for four years, as he blathers abject nonsense at me non-stop, you can get out of the habit of correcting people who didn't directly ask for your help.

Let them be wrong.
Let them be LOUD and wrong.

It's enough that you know.

One of my favourite food prep tips (and I have probably posted it before) is to pre roast garlic.

Like to roast it in small ceramic containers with lids — nothing but garlic. 275°F until my nose says it's done.

Then I put it on a flat tray to freeze individually, then I throw them in a bag, and into the freezer.

Because it's summertime, I made a lovely classic Greek dressing. No one point in my life I had a Greek roommate and she taught me that a proper Greek dressing is lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and oregano.

I planted a lot of onions this year, but the raccoons generally fought me for these. Not that they ate them. So tomorrow I guess I will have to go buy one and a bit of feta.

Speaking of raccoons, I have finally found a way to thwart the rotten little bastards from digging in the planters.

You know that accordioning trellis that you can get at dollar stores? Well, cut them to the size of the container, insert it, and put a rock on them. It makes it much harder for them to dig up my potatoes than just putting a lattice of plain sticks on it.

Seems that when their little tubby bodies are on top of the grid, they can't easily pull parts out of the way.

I wish I'd learned this last year in time to do this for the start of this.

(You could probably accomplish the same thing with some sort of rot-resistant twine or wire, and some twigs.)

#Protest tips from an old broad:

Toe socks.
When you're walking long distance, they stop you from getting blisters between your toes.

That's actually a hiking tip, but it works.

I went on a bit of a bread baking spree last night.

As a tip, if you want a classic soft sandwich loaf, add a bit of powdered milk toward the end of the kneading process. It gives you a softer crumb.

My favourite feature in Signal is the Note to Self option.

When you find yourself sending the same message over and over again to many different people and many different groups, it's easiest to either create it or save a copy in your Note to Self function, and then just forward it from there.

You can attach up to 10 screenshots or images, along with the text.

It saves so much time.

Was scrolling so #onstorm footage from this morning, and I realized that some people don't seem to know that:

🌪 🌪 🌪 🌪 🌪

If you aren't detecting left or right motion on that tornado you are filming:

IT MAY BE COMING
STRAIGHT AT YOU.

🌪 🌪 🌪 🌪 🌪

We really need to get Canadians more aware of this shit, along with "hard-soled shoes and helmets".

Some people really need to learn how NOT to let people know that you've got their goat.

As a Rustler of Goats and Jimmies, I understand the art of choosing the insult for the target, even if none of the bystanders think it's effective.

For instance, the world is lucky that I am not roaming around in pyjama pants 24/7 (I mean, I do, at and around home, don't get me wrong); insulting what I wear is probably not the most targeted insult.

However, if I have called you the "Dowdy Housewife" in the past because of your deluded use of filters and highly Photoshopped images, every time you try to use that style of insult back, you're really just telling me that I hit the bullseye.

But this isn't about that today. Someone else is hilariously giving away the game and I am not even playing. Just an observer. And an enjoyer.
