Chocolate Pecan Pie 08 31 2025

 So I was eating a slice of chocolate pie.  It is named after a famous blond country singer.

And I thought you could almost add pecans to this and you would have a chocolate pecan pie that would have to be better than a regular pecan pie!

So there indeed are chocolate pecan pie recipes out there.  Somebody already thought of it.  Are there other pecan pie variants I don't know about?  Highly likely.

Sexual Identity 08 31 2025

 W/r to the latest mass shooter in MN I believe an excellent question that needs to be asked is,

"How long before someone who waffles on their own sexual identity waffles on their life?  ~And perhaps others along with them?"

A non-reproductive sexual identity being a good indication of how they view their own future?  They made the choice not to have children because there is something they don't like about themselves or their life?  And the tie in to them taking others out with them is that they view the world as an us versus them?  The them being heterosexuals?  

By a non reproductive sexual identity I mean a woman can't get a woman pregnant and man can't get man pregnant.

So instead of desiring to make a copy of themselves they seek out a partner or false idealism they believe better represents that?  And I would say there is some defiance to that.  And that would be a second such tie in.  Establishing that defiance to what cannot be argued isn't the norm.

My right to free speech ought to protect me in saying that.

Getting back to the first few sentences of this.  They are at odds with an unchangeable wall of reality.  How long before the futility in that catches up with them?

And obviously I do care or I wouldn't write this.

I want to talk about a slew of Republican attacks against Bidens former press secretary that amount to false righteousness and baseless insult.   But that Facebook post to comment on has long gone down the Facebook tracks and is lost.

PS.  Did you ever meet someone that doesn't want you to talk because they know you make a lot more sense than they do?

PSS.  First they learn defiance. ~Learned, conditioned and identified with defiance.

Why Stymie Trump??? 08 30 2025

I don't see how Trumps tariffs could be illegal when past Presidents have used them. Why object now? Why stymie Trump?

Perhaps because the issue with those who don't like the tariffs is really that it helps support the financial health of our nation? And if you control the financial industry you want to use it to pull the plug on the American economy and freedom? To figure out a machination to use to cast us into a genocidal economic depression. Believe me, I know who is mean like that.

*****'

Like 40 years ago I thought we should be putting in place tariffs. Then you turn on the financial news channel on cable and why is it right at that exact moment you have someone objecting to protectionists policies? Saying that free markets are the only way to go. Saying that isolationism is wrong. And that was a fickle minded Republican? We will call him Larry Lowgrass?

You turn on that dam television set and it is as if there is someone with a mental defect having an emotionally disturbed reaction and verbal outburst to a great thought you just had?

You know, that is the real problem!

******'

I mean here all along, you had China evading environmental policies that the US had in place for our Country, and thereby making products cheaper over there. You also had them working their population to arthritic bone death at a young age. You had women only advancing if they had sex with what amounts to the likes of Fat Kim. And there was something wrong with putting tariffs on China? And Russia is no better. Can I tell you what consumable product you would want to immediately destroy the Russian factories of if you wanted to defeat them in War? Figure it out. It is something a dimwits body uses as fuel instead of food.

*****'

Why is it that voice shuts up when I say something good about Trump?

*****'

The reason Trumps tariff plan would be stymied is because Republicans really want to defeat Social Security.  And if you stymie that plan you can ostensibly blame the defeat of Social Security on someone else.  And if you don't recognize a pattern of bad behavior, your an ignoramus. 

Those emotionally disturbed offspring of wealthy Republicans didn't create the greatness of our nation.  Even though, perhaps in delusion, by defeating Social Security, it gives them a sense of ownership of our nations prior success?  Aha, what a point.  Defeat our Constitution and Democracy and in doing so claim a sense of ownership of our nations prior success.

What to Buy 08 28 2025 (Subtitled Fifteen Years of Waste)

 It is like marketing and manufacturing firms don't want to ask the consumer what they want in a product.

Instead they wait and see why no one is buying the product that they have?  And then take a guess and what the consumer wants?  And eventually, probably through internet tracking, (why not call it internet stalking?) they figure out what you want to buy and then make it?

And they are about 15 years behind in the process.

So that is about 15 years of waste.

15 years of waste?  What does that sound like?

*****'

And had they hired the person they should have hired from the beginning there would not be any of that 15 years of waste.

Robin Westman 08 28 2025

To be brief here, I see elements of writing in third person in what he wrote.

It means something.

And a lot of what I just read, reads as him trying to convince himself?  Indecision an indication of a memory gatewaying disorder?  The hippocampus area of the brain responsible for memory gatewaying and it is irreversibly damaged in fetal alcohol syndrome spectrum disorder.

And sometimes we want to ask the question, did he grow up without a father?  But perhaps we should just be asking the question did so and so grow up with a bad father?

And what positive impact did cannaboids have on his mental health?  What impact did they have on his gender identity?  I suppose you would have to grow up with some experience of how people who get high, how their voice changes?  I will just say it gets more beastly.  More throaty sounding?  More feeble sounding?  More frantic sounding?  Also exhibiting wild ideas?  And homosexual ideologies.

What were his grades?

What to Know About Minneapolis Shooter Robin Westman

And I want to mention a theme or pattern that I see in these mass shooters.  As if they had a retard support structure when they were young, that coddled them.  However in the adult world that is absent.  And you couldn't spend enough money or allocate enough sane mature adults to provide that function to them in adulthood.  And I also believe we are absent mature and honest employers to fulfill some of that function.

And I will make a point about demonic possession and the barriers to demonic possession.  I view Republican book banning as an attempt, right or wrong, to prevent odd identities from forming?  You and I read something and we have a consensus of who the antagonist is and why they are bad.  I know without a shadow of a doubt that isn't true with everyone.  But it is still valuable for us to recognize the bad antagonist and what they have done, even if someone highly influential because of lack of soul doesn't view it that way.

So in that last paragraph I wanted to say that someone who is demonically possessed tends to take on the hair style or attire of the demonic possessor?  But I don't dare imply that is what happened.

And perhaps the demonic possessor wants to create actions in the possessed that make possessor more hateful to what the possessor is without the possessed knowing that it is happening?  The motive being it hides the identity of the possessor better? And indeed Jesus Christ, Christiainity having a billion followers, believed in demonic possession.  And the Bible does not list the belief in it in the terms high profit drug based psychiatry does?

So the term "highly influential" came up.  Do we have the strength of leadership or the legitimacy of leadership to keep the "highly influential" on the right path in life?  Probably not.

But again I think Republicans want to eliminate odd suggestions that the highly influential "uptake?" But it really doesn't address the problem at its root.  You address the root is eliminating any and all causes of mental retardation.  We don't have the strength of belief or leadership to make those peaceful changes and defend them.

© 2025 Thomas Paul Murphy

So Robin says he was depressed for so long?  And it makes you want to ask the question was he on meds for it?  Or if he only could have taken meds for it?

IDK, looks in the mirror every day at his own ugly mug?  Someone like that needs to develop humility and enjoy being on their hands and knees scrubbing the floor like Mother Theresa.  But again, that support structure that was there for them in their early years,  needed to resort to all kinds of high false praise in order to keep them going?  So the mentally challenged do not learn that humility.  In fact they go to great lengths so that the mentally retarded experience no humility whatsoever today.  They might even be networked to have a high paying job that you should have had.

*****'

And he wanted to kill himself.  Would the outcome have been better for the children at the school if there was not a stigma with regard to firearms purchase?  No great hoops to jump through to get one?  As if after someone like this goes to all the trouble to get one they commit themselves to then doing something bad with it?  In that squirming maniacal mind of theirs?

Okay, so he didn't know if he was a man or a woman?  Why aren't we doing genetic testing on these people to see if there is something genetically wrong with them?  Because in todays world there is nothing that is "Genetically wrong."  That ugly long face of his is not genetically wrong.  Don't you dare look at him funny?

If only there were a woman out there to tell him his lantern jaw was handsome.

Christianity's Flaw 08 27 2025

Labor Day is Monday September 1st 2025

Labor Day Monday September 1st 2025

It's one of those days that you don't go anywhere because the drunks are all out driving around?

But what did Jesus say about it? You know the guy who pissed so many people off that they crucified him?

With regard to work he stated you reap what you sow. Most of us know that as being common sense.

But lets think about it and see who is going to reap what in terms of that statement.

  1. Alcohol profits? You reap mental retardation, Alzheimer's (I am asserting it to be true.) and cancer.

  2. Tobacco? Make a lot of money at your corner store from cigarette and tobacco sales? You reap cancer! The agony of cancer!

  3. Real Estate mogul that evicts people? You reap homelessness. And do you think they are something that can be swept away with a broom? Don't like subsets of Americans, just sweep them away with a broom? Insult them as to why they don't have a home?

  4. Finance? Trading against your very own customers? You will reap being penniless. Jesus did indeed say that last will be first!

  5. Entertainment money? You reap immateriality. Poor workmanship, fake profits, shotty work, nothing for your money. ( I want to make a comment about steroids conditioning your body and heart to react a different way your entire life? Perhaps whereby you have created a condition of falsely dilated blood vessels that your heart will not be able to support in times of constriction or dilation? You created a countdown clock for yourself? But that is off topic.)

  6. Doctors for profits? Sickness and death.

  7. Tribalism? Horrific death from War.

  8. Military complex in times of peace? Highly valuing that? You have sowed War! And you reap hell. If you know anyone who has been in a War and they say War isn't hell...you are already reaping a life of being treated deceitfully.

  9. Religion to manipulate for profit? You reap a godless war, ie hell.

  10. False appraisal of others skills in the workplace? You reap ineffectual progeny.

  11. Sell drugs? Probably going to get jail for that. What you reap...you won't get any feeling of personal reward for anything you do in life.

  12. Be a pimp? You will never know love.

  13. Homosexual life? You reap the impossible product of asexual reproduction. Do you see that as an act of frustration? The old sex versus love argument? An important consideration or terminology has just come up. Reproductive Sex versus Non Reproductive Sex. Perhaps stated this way you reap the lifetime disappointment of non reproductive sex? You know it is a very clear way to look at in terms of rights and legislation?


You willfully engaged in non reproductive sex, what benefits should accrue to you? Per Jesus Christ, what do you expect to sow? What do you want me to do here, read an apology you wrote for me being a gentile?

And I am not a gay basher. But in terms of what Jesus said, What fruits do you expect to reap from that? And I am not going to belabor that point any further. Not what I want to do.

The idea of using legislation and “the yearly code” to foster things?

Has the “yearly code” really effective in promoting what is considered the greater good?

If you don't like what I write then don't read it. Simple as that. If you don't like that I have the right to free speech, perhaps you should go back to the country you came from whereby they have no real free speech. As you have indicated you would be more happy there.

You sow the seeds of no free speech? You reap that no one will be there to help you!

You sow the seeds of gun control? You reap that you will no longer be free.

Leaf Rake Design 08 26 2025

 So I have a plastic garden rake.  It has some tines broken off.  My experience fixing something like a broken plastic tine seems futile.  So if I bought a metal one?  Won't necessarily last either, might not work great, and those metal tines likely wouldn't "fix" well either.

So let's say I wanted to make either an indestructible rake or a rake head that I could fix?  How could I do that?

I could use hardwood for the tines.  But I would need to a fix a bent finger end or cleat to such time.

The upper part of the rake head could be made of sheet metal or scrap metal.  

And then the tines again? Plastic tines with a bent cleat end could be cut from:

1. A bucket side to bottom.

2. A barrel side to bottom.

3. Discarded plastic gas can side to bottom.  ( they are tough!)

And so you make a few extra tines and you are set for a long time?

See diagrams to further understanding.

Who likes waste?  To me creating waste is a sign of irresponsibility as an adult.  Some people apparently do like creating waste.  What did someone who pissed them off say to them?  "You reap what you sow."




I suppose if a plastic rake goes on sale for cheap I'll buy it.  Not happy about it.  But at least I wouldn't be paying up for it.  That would be waste.  So do you see the corollary logic of what Jesus said?  When you pay more than what it is worth that is a waste.  Hence you to will reap what you sow.  Whole industries arise to coddle those who made money easy and hence spend it wastefully.  Almost a religion in itself or an overlay or artificial part to our economy?

© 2025 Thomas Paul Murphy

PS.  Hah hah.  I suppose you could get super fancy and steam some thin wood, bend it 2" from the end and glue all those strips together bent, for your tines.  To me that is just working with too much glue.  Bah hum!


Mexican Cabbage Dip 08 26 2025

 

Ingredients:

1 10.5 ounce can nacho cheese sauce medium

1 1/2 cups finely chopped cabbage

2 slices of tomato chopped to ~ 1/2" 

2 slices of onion (sweet yellow) chopped fie

I threw in two small leftover baked potatoes chopped fine

~1/4 cup water

How to:

I put the vegetables in a 12" frying pan added the water and softened them.  Then I added the nacho cheese sauce a folded it in.  About med heat.

I served it with tortilla chips.

I like the health benefits of cabbage.  And I liked the way this tasted.  I came back 3 hours later and ate some more and the flavor had mellowed and became more western.

Really unique.  It isn't your spicy taco or refried bean deal.  It is more soul food or nature girl likes food.

And if you got something against cabbage you likely won't like it or anything else made with cabbage.  And am not sure I recognized the flavor of cabbage in it.

And you see that can of nacho cheese sauce on the shelf and want to make something with it...I am glad I made this.

Military Spending and Investments by Government 08 26 205 /subtitled "The Ringmaster"

I would assert that if it were valid we would have all of our cities powered by high tech renewable energy right now.

And that we wouldn't have a seemingly insurmountable mountain of debt.

So taking equity stakes in defense corporations?

Is that a step towards making them nationalized or government owned?

Or one could ask are the proposed investments in such corporations considered because they are not profitable.  Which means what?  Hired too many employees?  Paid management too much?  Spent too much money recklessly?  Products inferior to competition?  Freely borrowed too much money?  Demand for the product isn't what you thought it would be?

In terms of leadership, did you ever notice that a person who talks nonsense doesn't know the true intent of their actions?

******'

So I thought I read, that we were going to start making "boats" again.  Then I am not sure but was the next thing that I read that "we" would be making them in South Korea?

******'

As if I have trouble understanding something?

******'

Used to be called water on the brain?  And you would ask yourself, if that is the direction they want to take what else are they going to do?  Take equity stakes in Tobacco?  Take equity stakes in alcohol?

And then what?  Look around and attempt to take stock of what human soul there is left in this nation?

******'

What else?  Why don't you mandate that every (     ) veteran has a dedicated psychiatrist sourced from Africa?  You know, how like the guy on television talking about sports is also recommending which money line bet to make?  In a confident voice.  And wouldn't that confident strong voice do our veterans some good?  tic (tic=tongue in cheek)

*****'

You know what?  It makes you wonder if the circus has a head clown?  And what the proper name for the head clown of a circus is?  I looked it up, he's (or she?) is called the Ringmaster.

Who People No Longer Believe In 08 26 2025

 So it became legal to advertise beer on television in 1996.  Clinton was President then.  And apparently it became legal to advertise hard liquor on television then too.

And it seems like that was more recently than 1996.

So if you took a marketing class in college you would know that they study psychology better than anyone in order to create advertisements for you to buy their products.  They do indeed have codified checklists and manipulative techniques that are subliminal.

But at the same time alcohol consumption in the United States is at an all time low since the statistic was created in ~1939. 

Does it have to do with the statement by government that alcohol causes cancer?

Or is the reason that people can see right through the lies of advertising.  They look around at how the product ruined the lives of people around them?  And they no longer believe in the advertising!  The advertising no longer influences their behavior.  As if they have built a wall to it?  As if they view it with utter contempt.

To me the gist of it is, "Who people no longer believe in."

And that is a great thing.  And the start of many great things.

Car and Truck Innovations 08 25 2025

 1. a. A seamless truck bed without a gate that functions as a boat too. b. It could also be two sections whereby they are slot joined and also bolt joined.  To add up to a 16 foot long boat.

2. Modern cars have on board diagnostic sockets whereby a "reader" can plug into it and live engine data can be read.  Modern cars often also have 7" diagonal displays.  There is no valid reason that obd data should not be able to be displayed on that screen absent the reader.  If they have to call such obd whereby it has both plug in and/(and/or) integral auto display gen 3 so be it.

Tacos 08 24 2025

 

I made these a little different.  In a separate pot I cooked a package of "avocado lime rice."  When both it and the meat were done I scooped some ladles of that rice in with the meat, veggies and some cheese.  Turned out pretty good.  It spiced the tacos in a way I could not have duplicated otherwise.  It gave the meat a lighter texture without changing the flavor.

I could tell you full details, but that is it for now.

Off topic.  I was going to say I don't want to see gay bachelor reality television series.  Then to make sure that that wasn't one going already I did a quick internet search.  What I found out was that one of the stars on such a show was actually gay.  And perhaps per reading the search results many more of them were.

Did the networks already know?  Was it a segue for them to use to market the "need" for such shows?  Interesting comparison can be made, public need versus public demand?  Versus something the FCC should have taken an iron fist to a long time ago.

And so Trump cut funding to Public Radio?  When I listened to it is exposed a lot of issues like this that Trumps fake news media would not touch.  He got them to cower in fear?  But public radio he wasn't able to intimidate?  Yeah, I do see it that way.  Those who stand up for what is good get the axe in this country.

Do you know what it is like?  It is like all of those bad television shows from the 1970's were preparing us for what faulted leadership we would have to deal with in the next decades?  Welcome back Cotter?


"They did a screening for a single heterosexual man wants to get married show and the only ones who showed up were... or the best candidates that they could choose were...or the best people that they believed to represent network values were..."  That last tidbit is exactly how a certain subset of our population thinks.

Circumventing Illegal Advertising 08 20 2025

 You are not able to advertise cigarettes on television.

But what if it were found out that they figured out that if they hired someone whose voice was ruined by cigarettes as a talk show host that that was the best advertising for their product that they could drum up?

******'

While I am on talk show hosts.  I want to talk about conditioning the publics belief system.

There was a talk show host who always brought those who victimized someone on the show to talk with the victim???

What if instead of that it were found to be much more helpful to the victim if they were to visit the grave of the convicted and sentenced victimizer with the talk show host?

Isn't that more of a responsible adult sense of closure?

The talk show host might say something like, "You know what they did to you was wrong?"

"You realize that we cared about you and brought this person to humane justice?"

Sam the Collector 08 19 2025

So let's say someone is convicted for being a high profile pimp.  Or drug dealer.

Does "Sam the Collector" recharacterize what they "reported" verus what must be true from where the income was derived?

So if you put in a provision like this you defeat "the criminal wife gets to keep stuff."

Who is the money really owed to?

Trying to be vague. If the money perhaps in a class action suit goes to Sam TC then can it be said such is a party to it?

You know given far reaching political ideologies today it becomes more relevant.

How much makes the victim whole?  Why isn't all that was unfairly attained the amount that makes the victim (s) whole?

© 2025 Thomas Paul Murphy

And if a certain politician trades on inside info shouldn't that have its own designation classification and higher rate?

And if a politician is required to abandon business activities the bottom line of that STC yearly statement should read zero. And any income after service in office perhaps needs to be recharacterized as really being earned while in office or as a direct result of being in office or extracurricular activities while in office.

*****'

And so Jesus said one of you has betrayed me.  And he also said in order to follow me you have to give up all your wordly possessions.  But Jesus did collect money, we know because he commented on how much he received. And it was his collector that betrayed him?  No, they all did, because they all got a cut to the money.  And they wrote about JC, which means they were indeed scribes?

Trickle Down Economics and Genetic Superiority 08 17 2025

Is there an element or sense of "Wealth genetics" being better genetics?

Does a person who claws their way to the top, who thinks like the blood thirsty fox, once they get successful do they do so or do they then feel it is because of better genetics?

And hence that is who should determine who is paid what in trickle down economics?

It needs to be reconfigured.  

*****'

You see our country was founded in opposition to Royalty and Royal Blood lines ruling.  If you can't make the equivocation between Royalty believing themselves to be genetically superior and hence calling themselves royalty because of that, then what can you do?  

So indeed their is a sense of Royalty in trickle down economics isn't there.  The hand that feeds is the royal hand.  And it doesn't really matter if that is the dirty hand of an ignoramus from organized crime does it, it still has a sense of royalty to it.

I mean good God you want to talk about entitlements in this country?  The entitlement of giving yourself royal class by being the top of trickle down economics?

******'

Okay now a note to the flipside!  The other side of the issue.  The idea that wealthy people have gotten wealthy by creating employment. Creating employment, it is really a beautiful thing isn't it!  And to deal with all those new employees bad attitudes and ignorance and rudeness...  Creating employment, do you remember how proud you were when you worked hard, you listened, you respected the employer, and you got that first paycheck!  Beautiful thing isn't it.

And hence is that why Republicans give tax cuts to the wealthy?  Well from that perspective it makes sense doesn't it?

I wish that I had the patience to be such an employer that creates employment and hence wealth for themselves.  I wish I had the patience to be a teacher. etc, etc etc.

And did you ever wonder how an awful employer raises their own children?    Just read the news, it doesn't go to well does it.

Evidence that can't be submitted 08 17 2025

I want to ask a question.  If a high ranking person knew a pimp.  The pimp said they they were his best friend for years on end...

"High ranking official do you also know drug dealers?"

When organized crime was established in the U.S. it was initially drugs and prostitution?

*****'

When the character of a witness implies a prior belief system and method of behavior?  That would preclude them from suing they way up in class?  Do you see where I am going with this?

Evidence such as, "How dare you....when you did this, this and this." Can't be submitted in court.  Even though this, this and this is highly relevant.

And perhaps I should review the current legal codes on this.  Because this is just conjecture.

A reasonable person read that you did this this and this.  And that your husband was undeniable friends with someone who did this this and this.

So look who gets attacked in this?  Look who has to face justice for what amounts to a whole lot of other peoples wrongs that were never accounted for or realized by a sense of "public morality?"

When the person who is falling under scrutiny reaches out against the people not responsible for that?

About Gun Control 08 17 2025

 So this article touches on the legal responsibility of safekeeping.

The idea that if you didn't lock a gun up and someone shoots someone with it that it is your adult responsibility and hence your crime.

Perhaps if you were a descendent of organized crime it is more so?  

So how far should the concept extend?  It indeed sets other legal precedents in and of itself.

For example if you have a sharp knife on your kitchen counter.  Perhaps it is a paring knife you use to remove the eyes of potatos with.  And your son or daughter invites a friend to the house.  And that other kid finds that knife and cuts themselves or stabs your kid with it???  It is your adult responsibility?

Should you be required to put a label on a knife that says it is "Sharp"?  Where would you put that label?

How come there isn't the common sense to believe that all knives are going to be sharp?

No transition that idea back to guns.  How come that dumb kid didn't know that all real guns can kill people?  Is that something he wouldn't be able to understand if you explained it to him or her?

So right there.  That last sentence.

So your child kills someone with a gun.  They played with it and pulled the trigger.  And you go to jail for it.

But wouldn't the better punishment for a father to be that the child is convicted and then flat out gone in sentencing?

But again to the critical sentence above.  Was that child told not to?  Is that something he wouldn't be able to understand if you explained it to him?

Now right there.  How can the responsibility fall on the adults shoulders if there is a child that would not be able able to understand something like that if you explained it to them?  And by default that is something they should have known?

But how?  Who would teach it to them?  Their father or mother.  But again, they should have understood that.

So how come we don't want to elevate that issue right there.  Something was told to that minor, they should have understood it.  How does that responsibility fall on the adults shoulders?

Are their children out there who can't be made to understand?  Was that conditioned into them by such parents?

If that was conditioned into the child, then it is the adults responsibility.

But that isn't a good adult who would set those negative expectations is it!  So why should the good adult be subjected to such a judgement?

Aha,  and here we have a lesser legal standard being applied to good Americans?  For the benefit of whoom?  And somewhere in here we have the idea that standards of normality are no longer valid in this country?

*****'

Are there more shooting because the people doing the shootings are emboldened by an immature leader that was highly successful?  I would say so.

Best Bacon I Ever Made 08 17 2025

I defrosted it a little bit in the microwave, just enough to separate the strips.

Then I placed it in a frying pan at medium heat.
Before the down side was fully cooked I flipped the bacon and turned off that burner.

Then in about 1/2 hour I turned the burner on to medium high heat.  But only for a few seconds.  Perhaps 15?  And then turned the burner off and let the pan sit on the burner.

The bacon turned out fully cooked.

And it was unbelievable!  I mean it literally melted in my mouth.

So you know how you have a rectangle shaped package of bacon?  I cut a third of that off crosscut and that is what I used.  And it was a thicker cut of bacon.  And the label red Cherry Wood on it somewhere.  But the section I cut off to use was mainly white fat.  But the end product didn't taste like it.  That white fat didn't become all rubbery in texture.  Instead, it seemed to absorb some of the meatiness around it.  And there was plenty of grease that came out of it that I poured away.

Now the best tasting product I had like this before this was something called "Seasoned Pork Bites" that I bought at a Sheboygan Meat Market.  This was on par or better than that.  This bacon and biscuit mix I bought at a green roofed regional hardware chain a few miles out on Brown Deer Road.

I didn't have the buttermilk for the biscuit mix.  I used oat milk, 2 T sour cream, a t or so lemon juice, a t or so white vinegar as a makeshift buttermilk flavor.  Also added some flour to it to get it to where it had to be.  And those biscuits were good too!

Professional Sports and Winning Teams 08 15 2025

 It would be hard to statistically quantify?

But did you ever notice this factor with regard to a teams success rate?

"Do the players act maturely in a competitive environment?"

Or, "Is this person competing like an adult?"

I just happened to notice that a winning team in prof sports has a player leader who competes in a mature manner!  And expresses themselves in a mature manner.

So lets say you have one team that is that way and consistently wins.  What does it mean with regard to all the other teams?  It hints at a certain illegitimacy?

Now as an adult, who do you root for?

I like the team that competes maturely and wins.  It has a certain "right" feeling about it.  A certain goodness to it.  A certain "the way it should be" to it.

But again, it is really entertainment!  And antics sell tickets?

But let's say your home team is "mouthy", do you go along with it?  Or do you tune the channel away from that one?

How do they celebrate success?  Do they attribute their failures to themselves?  As in, didn't work hard enough to create the most competitive skill level? 

And what does the coaching staff value and condone?

Sharp Knife Versus Boa Constrictor 08 15 2025 (warning graphic content?) Subtitled Procula's Doll House

 So you have likely seen Facebook or Youtube videos where people make knives, perhaps even Damascus steel knives, and then sharpen them.

And then they show you how easily it slices a tomato, or piece of paper or perhaps they wail down on a plastic bottle and cleanly slice it in half without the bottle deforming.

But what I want to know is what happens if there is a boa constrictor around your torso or neck.  How sharp a knife do you have to have to cut it?

How well would those sharp knives in the videos do against a boa constrictor?

And you likely remember that old black and white jungle man television series about the boy raised in the wild.  And how he killed snakes and crocodiles and lions with his knife.

But was that realistic when he cut that boa constrictor?  Or was that like a second or third take and the constrictor was dead already?

How far do you have to cut through a boa constrictor before it is flat out dead?

You think this is odd?  Every once in a while you here of someone who has a pet snake that got loose.

It had to belong to a rich person?  Did it belong to an LGBTQ person I have to ask.

So when a boa constrictor constricts its muscles probably get very stiff and solid and hard.  Making hard to cut through.  Also those scales are likely hard to cut through.  Silica based armor?

If you cut a third of the way through a boa constrictor will it stop constricting because in effect it is pulling itself apart in doing so?

How hard is it to cut through the center of a boa constrictor?

Will the average knife do it?

You would likely have to place that blade facing the back edge of the scales and draw it under the scales to cut that boat constrictor off your neck faster?

How sharp a point does your knife have to have in order to pierce into a boa constrictor?

Do I give a willy if someone's knife can slice a piece of paper? 

I want to know if that knife can cut a boa constrictor off your neck.

Now I haven't researched any of this.  So perhaps somebody already made a video on it.

You know the United States Army was in the Viet Nam jungle and other places where their could be dangerous snakes?  I wonder if they ever even put out a manual on it?  What the heck are we paying you for?  So that you don't become depressed from dropping out of High School?  Are we paying you to manage a theater of war where Procula determines who is put in harms way?  We could call that Procula's Doll House.

Pocket Knife Making 08 14 2025

 I wonder what the "jackknifing" effect failure rate would be if a folding knife had both a liner lock and a lock back at that same time?

I would think that would be a lot harder to collapse under pressure than just one or the other.

A folding knife usually takes two hands to close it anyway.

But the idea of a folding knife that is harder to "jackknife?"

So what would be the difference in force needed?

A. Lock Back.

B. Liner Lock

C. Lock Back plus Liner Lock?

And is there a technology out there that has virtually solved this problem already?  I haven't researched it.  To really believe that a company had solved the issue they would have to guarantee it?  But I don't know anyone has.

You would think that the military would have addressed an issue like this a long time ago and slam dunked it done.

Is there a Non cumbersome technology that exists today?  Perhaps the frame of the handle forms a channel along the folded out blade?  I don't know.  And I don't know of trade publications to research it.

An out the front won't will it.

Capitalism and Democracy Theory 08 11 2025

 If you are a highly profitable international corporation that sells unhealthy consumption products (even cancerous) perhaps your unspoken enemy is an educated public that abstains from such products?

Just thought I would put that out there.

Do we see some differential elements of how Corporate A... sells in the U.S. versus products and prices for our goods in foreign countries?  Something to think about.

Avocado Alfredo Dip 08 11 2025 Updated to include Recipe

 I may provide the recipe.

Oh this was so good!  This was unbelievably good!

1 14.5 ounce can of Alfredo Sauce Classic Style
3 Avocados, peeled and the inner "meat" cut into the frying pan.  And some it chopped up too.
1/2 can of black olives chopped up fine.
2" worth of leek chopped up fine
1/2 a tomato cut up fine
pinch of coriander; powdered.
pinch of Taco Seasoning out of a small foil bag.

How To.

Put a 10" frying pan on the stove top at low med heat.  Add the Alfredo sauce.  Use your silicone spatula to get it all out of the can. Add the pinch of coriander powder to that to give it some immediate recharacterization.  Why the heat? To think of it as a re-pasteurization process?

Add all the other stuff as you chop it up.

Stir it all up and put it in an individuals bowl with some of the best restaurant style chips you can find.

It is so good.  Kind of has a mellow health food flavor to it.  I want to say something like potato like but that would detract from the description greatly.

And it did get a little runny from adding all the vegies and the water cooking out of them into the pan.  But it is still very good.  Earthy flavor.  But yet you can't stop eating it once you start!  That good!

I Do Believe I...08 09 2025

 I do believe I am going to have to make some form of corn silk soup.

https://youtu.be/CJoMifHoU28?si=zqy14MEj6vY8du6H

I don't know the exact recipe I will use yet.  Might "just do it."

Also, perhaps there is, but wouldn't it be great if there was such a thing as a black olive or patty?  That you could just throw on a ham sand which like you do a slice of  provolone cheese?  Perhaps you get some slides at a deli?  Could even come in a can like pineapple slices do?  Something like that?  It would make a healthy new food?

Being a Manager Solving Disputes 08 09 2025

 Perhaps it boils down to this if you are a manager responsible for hiring and firing people and a dispute between two employees arises.

Ask yourself this, "Is that employee talking to me with the same bad attitude that they do their fellow employees?"

Somehow we have been conditioned not to think in terms like that?  We have been conditioned to believe that the employee that is the most rude and disrespectful is the one to reward?  Where did we get this from?  Perhaps the most rude and disrespectful employee is believed to be the one who makes the most money for the company?  In effect that they represent the culture of that company better than anyone else?  

But where I come from the inability to express yourself like a mature adult is the weakness.  And hence the weak employee in the chain.

Philosophy of Evil 08 07 2025

 So the phrase that we are conditioned to believe is, "Evil exists when good men fail to act."  But we don't really know who said that.

Who said that? <= link

That blames the existence of evil on good men!  What a convenient belief for an imbecile to have.  

This is what is true, "Nothing motivates evil more than the actions of good men!"

And do you want to know what else is the truth?

"There are people who will never be smart enough in order to not be a danger to themselves and others!"

That's your evil right there!
