  1. A quick detour for a #foodporn post...

    I am sure everyone reading this eats produce, maybe organic from a Farmer's Market, or off a grocery store rack.

    But did you know that WAY back in the day, growers would brand their produce, to build name recognition so they could get premium prices from mostly East Coast buyers?

    The names were printed on a "Box End" label, stapled on to the end of a wooden crate.

    This is one of my collection, Trout brand apples from Chelan, Washington.

  3. Hey kids! -

    Just because pot isn’t alcohol doesn’t mean you can’t get f*cked up on it, crash your car, and get a DUI. #TheMoreYouKnow

    #TalesFromTheFirehouse (No humans were harmed, but someone needs a new car and will be buying the DOT a new guardrail.)

    Allegedly.

  6. Ok, newly acquired pro-by-experience tip to my autistic folks. When corresponding with the authorities (and possibly anyone else non-autistic), whatever it is, no matter how complicated issue it is, just send them *one* question at the time, preferably with as little background and other explanatory additions as possible . No "Here's the situation, should do x and what are the ramifications, and if not, what should I do instead. If something else, is there anything I need to take in account?". Just ask, "should I do x", and when they reply, send the next question. Annoying as hell for sure, they prolly get annoyed with you too, but seems like be it doctors or clerks or whatnot, if you give them a bunch of questions and scenarios, they pick one and get hung up on that one, and it's probably not the most important one you need to get answered.

  8. In our double-entry bookkeeping system, money is created via bank lending and government spending, which add to the economy, and is destroyed via loan repayments and taxes, which subtract from the economy.

    Central banks create a wealth pump mechanism into assets through money printing, which erodes consumer purchasing power, driven by deficit spending, which creates money for the private sector.

    Profits are privatized; losses are socialized.

  10. Another tip for making yourself less popular: When asked "what model did you use to make that," respond: "Oh, I used skill. Just skill."

    Works every time.

    Remember, everyone!
    Bullets aren't the best way to get rid of bad politicians.
    Ballots are.

    Save the bullets for the evil CEOs who you can't vote out of office!
    (You don't necessarily have to shoot, either. Just make them think you MIGHT shoot, should they persist in their evil greedlord ways...)

  19. Do you know the most important feature of Gemini?!
    Probably not.

    It's that little, unlabeled button on the top right of the browser window, that protects your privacy, but that you apparently can't turn on by default. Now you can ask questions, without Google later using that knowledge against you.

  21. Fun fact: when you visit hell, right next to where they keep Hitler and Stalin, there's the pen for people who send you "what's your lowest price" on Marktplaats.

  23. Nobody gets lost in the K hole anymore, because the letter K doesn't have any holes unless you write it in cursive, which fewer people do now.

    Some #trivia:

    People used to eat four times a day (every 4 hours.)

    Breakfast at 8am.
    Lunch at noon.
    Dinner at 4pm (a light meal)
    Supper at 8pm.

    People working in stores/factories couldn't break for a 4pm "dinner", so the evening meal shifted a couple of hours to "after getting home from work & preparing a meal", making "Supper" unnecessary. 🤔
