But leave Hawaii alone because I don't want the price of Kona coffee to go through the roof.

Quote from: Shen Li on December 09, 2025, 11:00:16 PMIn Canada you might not get the surgery period. That country's health care system is so  broken that essential but not life threatening surgeries like yours are considered a luxury.

That's crazy. Then again I've seen the leadership up there, so it makes sense lol.

Technically, I don't "have" to do this surgery. I could wing it, but the Doc said I would have arthritis in my knee in less than a year if I didn't, plus I would always be limited in what I can do.

Health care has come a long way, now its a "luxury", but I remember when a Doc would accept a pie or a chicken for services lol (not that I was alive at that time lol).

Quote from: Herman on December 09, 2025, 09:19:10 PMVenison is too small for steaks. I usually use the muleys I shoot on the farm for stewing meat, sausages, jerky, and ground meat mixed with pork.

Steaks and roasts are more for elk and moose.

Yeah the steaks are small, but at least they are steaks lol.

Cow meat has gotten crazy expensive lately. Just this year, the burger I get, went from $5.50lb to $8.00lb, and I hear its going to over $10 at the turn of the year. That's pretty much double in less than a year. And forget steak, its insane.

They say we have a shortage, but I think its because of all the regulations and such that they keep putting on the farmers, and then turn around and import meat. Also, I know that Nationalist White dudes have a trend of eating a lot of steak lately lol, for breakfast and shit lol.

Quote from: wizer on December 10, 2025, 10:31:16 AMI caught it at least once, fairly recently, think it was last year. Symptoms same as a bad cold, cleared up within a week.

I may have had it other times when it was all over the place but I didn't want to be checked because if I tested positive I'd have to cancel dozens of patients each day who I was in close contact with being an eye doctor.

I figured better to risk infecting countless patients than lose the income.

My family doctor told me to get 2 pneumonia shots & the shingles vaccine

People who came down with covid also seemed to get pneumonia and shingles.

Quote from: wizer on December 09, 2025, 10:13:55 AMWhen it comes to disputing the moon landings, "good theory" is an oxymoron, which is fitting given that those who dispute it are morons.

I wonder if the astronauts landed on the moon,but the footage of the moonwalk was fake wizer Wizer

Was the video technology of the time sufficiently developed/advanced at the time to broadcast video from the moon in real time?

There wasn't any digital and it was all analog.

Maybe the footage was faked because they wanted to have something to show the world.

By the way I was alive in 1969 to witness the moon landing. It was Big News. America was at War in Vietnam. They badly needed some feel good story to boost National morale which was otherwise low at the time.

Logs from amateur astronomers indicate a spaceship circling the moon & in probability landing. These were not anyone working for NASA or the US government but international observers.

I looked around on owl gores inferwebz for evidence of the moon landings. Seems there is quite a bit of non USA evidence of the moon landings. The stuff by private individuals is of poor quality because of land based telescopes but there's been moon orbiters that have photographed the various sites. I actually learned that we landed on the moon more times than I thought!

Here's the Wiki with a high level overview. From there, you can find videos discussing this evidence.

Its pretty beautiful and it sure makes you feel like you are somewhere with an insane amount of history im sure the pyramids in Egypt make you feel the same, but like the pyramids im sure that feeling would be far more intense if there wasn't a 1000 other people there with you and you could just wander round it with your thoughts.

Was a great place to trip out though ill give it that, think they have cracked right down on the summer/winter solstice parties now so im glad I did that shit while it was an option.

I'm the same way with Glenn Beck. Once he went TDS, I bailed.
