I don’t care to elaborate on the things that made the 1st gen too much to work with, for me. Doesn’t matter. That was 9 years ago. I’m here to tell you about the latest and greatest. The new GoPro Hero 9 Black is a revolution by comparison.
C'est-à-dire: A little motorcycle ride to Magic Baguette. As the video explains, one of my favorite little places, a nice French cafe and bakery right here in Rawai, Phuket, Thailand. One of the few places open early, like 7am. Mostly, all is dead prior to 10am. And in addition to the fine bakery and deli items dans le moyen français, they serve up various menu items. So, for sure, ...
That experiment is a failure. I started blogging in 2003, right here. Blogs were a mainstay of how smart, independent, unindoctrinated people got eclectically informed and educated, for a decent 10-year run. It was simply assumed that the writer or creator owned their own content and your option was to either take it in, or pass. Simple pimple. Even the early social media sites like My Space ...
Oh are my haters and gaslighters ever going to love this one. For many years now, a common thing I get in various comments from human-like organisms with male-like genitals is: "you wouldn't say that in person...." Uh, bullshit. Here's your falsification. And what it means when these little ones say that, really, is projection. These pussy boys—and a good 70% of males on planet Earth are ...
I laughed my ass off through this entire Paul Joseph Watson video. On a serious note, I posted this to Facebook, which I'm now banned from, yet again. The vaccine passport, so called, is legally impossible and this is why I waste zero time agitating about it.It will simply not fly in US as a legal mandate, and in practical terms, hundreds of millions don't give a fuck any more than they do ...
I have too much food backlog stuff and being creative, I want to put it out there, perhaps help some of the fine eating establishments here in south Phuket, Thailand. This morning I decided to head over to Wilson's Cafe, five minutes away, and why not just take you on a motorbike ride, too? I really have come to love the simple poached eggs on toast (80 baht), and a side of bacon (40 ...
Is there a better political meme in all of history? Please tell me if there is. ...
The dude even works on the Ebola vaccine, but understands the distinction. But, those who wear masks..... Listen to them instead. You should always, always, always listen to those most panicked, those most in fear. ...
On November 6, I shut off Fox Narrative, got in the car, and drove 8 hours to the province. I haven't watched a second of that shit stain since. But I was still hopeful, having a decent sense of the abject and in your face voter fraud that rendered the most unappealing couple in the American history of politics the highest total vote count in its history. You get to be as fuckinng ...
If you want. If anyone is wondering where my Twitter presence went, they summarily bombed my account after 13 years and 7,000 followers; and as usual, completely erroneously. Another user didn't like what I wrote, said if I do it again: "I'll end you." I quoted it back, mocked him, and gave him my physical address. Of course, that makes me the one threatening violence. That's your Brave ...
I said I am getting back into diet advocacy. This is true. What I have come to realize—in both the intervening years since I was a Paleo Diet influencer and in the year since I've been an expat in Thailand—is that the diet part is damn easy. What fucks you up is the life you live. I'd say lead, but that's not it. You follow a so-called life, don't you? And diet is just a menu item and you ...
So is the whole world, not just America. No matter where in the world you look—no matter which gender, which race, which culture, which geographical area, which standard diet—there is only one thing of which you may be absolutely certain: Not one of any list list you can contrive, on average, is getting leaner, fitter, more healthy. Obesity in itself used to be the realm of the outlier. ...
A picture is worth a thousand words, they say. Sure, 11 year old Chili to the right and 10 year old Wasabi to the left—who have grown up in the Si Sa Ket and Surin neighboring provinces of Thailand—have some experience with Western food, but only to the extent of crap in bags from 7/11. Neither have been to a McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Pizza Hut, or anything related. Not once in their ...
In the never-ending diet and health antagonism, it happens that researchers, clinicians, and various advocates trend toward "specialization" in a favorite cause of death. For diet and health, various forms of heart and vascular disease seem to prevail. Thus, it becomes the hammer to which everything is then its nail. You know the drill. Fat clogs your arteries, or, red meat causes cancer, ad ...
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, let's call it 500 words of thoughts about the election circus spectacle and 500 words about considering relocating to Phuket for my beach condo/work studio. A couple of days ago I went door-to-door from my condo on Jomtien Beach, Pattaya to check-in at the Expat Hotel at Patong Beach, Phuket in 4 hours. Total cost for the taxi to Utapoa, flight ...
Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they ...
It's a hot mess inside of a shitstorm From about 1990 until midterms, 2018, I was a non-voter, even though I generally supported libertarian and conservative ideals and to limited extent, the politics that ensue. Though a non-believer in literal interpretations of religious faiths, I am nonetheless a champion for the Enlightenment values embodied in Western Civilization. I'm a conservative ...
Less than a week out and looking forward to forgetting about it for another 4 years. 320+, and the popular vote. Bank on it. That is all. ...
Finally some good news. Turns out, via CDC, that habitual mask wearers are the ones spreading the virus around the most. That's fantastic since the sooner everyone gets it, the sooner everyone can go meh and move on. So, wear your masks, spread the virus. Here's the CDC link: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6936a5.htm?s_cid=mm6936a5_w Of 153 positive and symptomatic ...
I've been remiss, time to get back to it. It wasn't laziness, just a series of things that consumed my attention and focus. Plus, in some measure I'm just on-hold, waiting to see if the November election results just might constitute a cure or vaccine for the current global stupidity and insanity (the only and real virus in play). Took the family to the beach for a 4-day holiday. In total, ...
Answer: the beef stew you just made. The recipes: Pot Roast. Use this recipe to the letter for a pressure cooker, or with my adaptations for a slow cooker: INSTANT POT POT ROAST You'll get better results with a slow cooker, and you likely won't have to thicken the gravy. Do the searing of the roast on the stove top, on high, four 10 minutes per side—no touching it, and don't skimp. ...
