  • It’s a shower thought.

    You don’t eat your dog or cat unless you happen to be preordained by an orange turd entity. But normal human people don’t eat their cats or dogs because they form some sort of relationship.

    When I was a kid my dad raised pigs and chicken. I don’t remember our pigs but I remember the chicken and I used to have a favorite chicken. It was my pet while for my mom and dad it was food. And it became food and I was told about later.

    But now, I live in a neighborhood where silence appears to be golden even though we live next to a water airport Kenmore WA. You can’t make noises or the neighbors will quickly complaint. If you had a pig here and you planned to eat it, it would not be acceptable to kill it. It’s a sword with two sharp sides. On the one hand you want to raise your own food, on the other, murdering animals is no longer acceptable even when Everyone eats meat. You can murder thousands of animals… Just not where you live.

    What does that mean? How do you learn to kill an animal if you can’t do it in your backyard? How do you become a butcher if you are not allowed at a plant unless you are employed there…simple, if you didn’t go to college and you’re at the end of the rope you go to a butcher shop and they train you. And that’s weird. You allow others to tell you how to murder animals so you can do that for a living to feed people who don’t want to murder animals but like to eat their meat and would not give you specifically a job doing something else.

    The whole subject is full of weird twists and points of view. But if you ever lived in a small village and you hear intense pig squeals that end abruptly, you know that later on there will be crunchy pig skin fries. Life, death, and a flavorful meal along with horrific noises and blood everywhere are all connected. To a person, who has been there, done that, the sudden realization of the horror the pig gods thru, is both bothersome and just so evil. I can’t uneat all the animals I’ve eaten. And nutrition, I have my kids eat meat because I think its probably better for them than having some sort of special vitamin supplements.

    It’s a deep shower thought.




  • The world certainly pulls and pushes us in different ways. I don’t eat meat for many reasons including the torture and suffering part. I’m alive and totally fine, but I think there’s definitely a learning curve about the nutrition supplements needed to stay healthy. Anyway I still have some leather belts and shoes. I like art and have unflavored gelatine used in the carbon transfer process. There are a huge number of items in our every day that used to be sentient beings.

    I used to have a default Costco chicken and tortillas diet. But one day this idea clicked for me…could I go one week without meat? Nothing about the whole moral thing. Just trying. So did it and I just kept doing it. The first week is definitely the hardest. If most people stopped eating meat, things would be better for everyone… The meat industry, the planet, the animals and you.


  • I also like caulk.

    Not long ago faucet manufacturers made solid brass assemblies. Those leaked from the gaskets which you replaced every year maybe.

    Next they reduced the amount of brass by soldering several brass blocks using copper tubing. Usually these leaked at the solder joint or at the new alumina ceramic sealing valves.

    Today most faucets are garbage. Mostly plastic, screws, sheet metal and some Cooper, brass and stainless but all in the most cheapest way it could have been imagined. Next to this, we got a big catch bucket as better technology. My kitchen faucet is Chinese and has lasted at most 2 years. No its not American made in China, I mean I got it from alibaba from China. In general its great and the build quality is better than US made in China. And its cheap. My plan is to continue replacing it every year with the same Chinese model. It looks good and lasts long enough for me to not complain.






  • How about a parking lot…no, better a church right in the center. You jump, then you must fly all the way thru the center area. Those who don’t make it…well they get to church on time. Those who do win and then for extra points you have to needle thread thru the little holes at to top of the bell tower…but without hitting the bell. You hit the bell and you’re out! Double points if you can make one of the church goers freak out and start really believing, not this Sunday mass shit.
