I’ve been using a vegetable julienne slicer to make my own. Better than a shredder for more consistent sizing. It’s saved me a fortune by using raw potatoes instead of buying the bagged stuff.

I bring canned salmon.

I knew two bears. They were caterers. They bought a restaurant.

It takes just as long to cook, and has the texture of parboiled rice.

I have power tools. I had like 7 batteries for them. I saw that they offered a USB adapter so I could charge my cell phones. $20. I quickly stopped using wall warts and standard battery packs. 5 amp hours, hot swappable, always a battery in the charger so I could never run out of power. Power tool batteries are built to higher specs than typical cell phone chargers so they didn’t die after 10 chargers. The batteries are rugged so a drop doesn’t destroy them.

My tools were stolen. I replaced all my Makita with Harbor Freight Hercules brand, their premium brand. Half the cost of Makita and actually better designed in a lot of areas. I quickly bought the USB adapter because I could never live without it again.

If you have power tools and always use them, I’m a handyman, then a USB adapter is a must.

Can’t wait for people to blame it for the next outbreak.

“It came from the same area as the lab!” “Where would you put a lab designed to look for these kinds of things?” “U so dumb.”

Yes. Anything more than 2000 mg, aka two freaking grams, is likely to cause diarrhea. Because that’s the symptom of a Vit C overdose. It will cause your body to flush water and with it other water soluble vitamins. Unless you are lactating or a blood test says you need more there is no reason to consume more than 120 mg a day. And with the Standard American Diet [SAD] you will get plenty of vit c because so many things are fortified with C that not getting the RDA is very difficult.

So by taking 3 grams a day you, waste money, flush other vitamins potentially creating new issues, spend too much time on the pot.

Vit C is clinically proven to prevent scurvy. And that’s about it. Its benefits are extremely over stated by people trying to take your money. Airborne is a scam.

Okay, but were the rest of the pages blank?

Diary excerpts that end too soon

I’m doing my part.

Thank you.

Instructions unclear. Is this a place for weirdos or a place to highlight weirdos?

It’s too dark to carve inside a turkey.

There are no GMO strawberries for sale. There are none currently approved.

This should win depressing study of the year.

She was dating my ex girlfriend. They split. My ex recommended she ask me out because she thought we might be a good fit. It’s been 14 years.

Having a previous significant partner that I split with on good terms has always been a great strategy for getting a new partner.

I’m here to remind you of the absence of Heathcliff from Heathcliff comics. Absurdist anti-joke comics with an extra helping of both.

I am the only nerd across multiple generations. My nephew is a Hikikomori and not traveling to see me. I’d rather have a real system that connects to the network and fills the need for accurate weather in my town.

I know any in my case. I’m in a black hole of info. The nearest weather station is over 30 miles away and it’s not remotely accurate for my location because of terrain changes between here and there. There isn’t even a weather station in my overly large and oddly shaped county.

We went so far as to contact the people in charge of weather stations to see if we could set one up in our yard and while there was some initial excitement from them they eventually ghosted us.

A complete lack of organization and an air conditioner that hasn’t worked in three years. It’s frequently been 87 to 89 in my house for over a month now. It kills motivation to move. But I did just go outside and remove all the 4 foot tall grass from my brick patio. So I have that going for me. Which is nice.

I need to draw monsters that do yardwork. They work outside. Elves make shoes inside. Goblins prune and edge.

Can’t use wget?
