  1. I buy stocks in companies I use a lot to sort of pay myself back. Its never enough to cover what I spend, so the dividends are like a small rebate. But its something. We can choose who our energy suppliers are, but not the transmission part, and thats where we get hosed.
  2. We are having regular bear appearances down here to the point where it’s not even news - they are on peoples ring cameras every day. We lock up because of thieves so no bear fridge raiders thus far. In fact, they seem to stay out of the trash, too. Must be some good natural vittles around. Bobcats, bears, coyotes (millions of those). Every day I see one of these on someones ring in my small town. Yet to see a bear in person tho. The others all the time. And the rabbits, holy shit the rabbits. Theres a million people in this county and somehow we have an explosion of wildlife thriving. I’m cool with it. Coyote fucked up a neighbors dog and chewed the guy up a little bit. That was on my block in the winter. People carry because of the coyotes now.
  3. JHC I just was waiting on a train platform up here and sweat beads were instant. 10 min train delay metro north. At least the trains work. I picked the wrong day to host a dinner in the city. Damn.
  4. Yep. Those trees block the snow too. So they say.
  5. Yep. TP is disgusting. I hate hotel travel because most don’t have bidets. So I got an RV. I literally drag my toilet behind me.
  6. Bidet. Always. I've even got one in my RV.
  7. So bucolic I could just shit.
  8. I got bit this weekend by a small one. I'm going on Doxy today and getting a collar for the dog. He had one seizure last year while one bravecto, collar, and permethrin in the lawn. We are cutting bravecto and the permethrin and hoping the collar on its own doesn't cause seizures.
  9. I got with a deer tick yesterday. Going on Doxy today. Damn.
  10. Ticks are insane. The small ones esp. Up until this year it was not a problem for the dog because he used to be able to have a collar or take meds. Never had seizures before then BOOM he had one. Vet says no more tick meds or collars. Leash walks now only in the neighborhood. We may try another tick topical product and see what happens.
  11. Permethrin will kill them, and all the other bugs - including bees which we don’t want to do. I’ve seen literally dead giraffes in Africa die from ticks so dead deer is no surprise. Sad . I pulled 14 of my dog after one woods walk. No more of that. He can’t use tick meds or collars because of seizures. Can’t use bug spray either. Sucks.
  12. The new ones have failsafes that work no matter what the circumstances are. No human intervention needed. Esp. The micro plants that Amazon and Google are using soon.
  13. not in France. Its the cheapest energy source in Europe by a wide margin. The operation and cost of fuel per kilowatt hour is cheap even compared to many fossil fuels. Its the regulation that is costly. This is changing in many states however. As far as waste, France uses about 20% of its nuclear waste to produce more electricity! They lead the world and show us how it's done. As an approved wingnut, don’t get me started. Lol. We gave up on science decades ago. Technical schools have been disappearing since the 70s. College has become more about social status than anything. Marketing and money. Oberlin isn’t teaching anyone how to split the atom safely. Sure is hard to get into though! What does that 300k get you? You can say you went to Oberlin! And the rest of us get high electric bills. Thanks Oberlin!
  14. Preach on man. Neither country is paradise of course but the food…amazing.
