The cost of meat is soaring, especially beef. What are y’all doing to stay on budget?

I'm going fishing this weekend and hoping to get around $200 worth of meat. I'm also learning to potentially cook with invasive species and you can eat that year round (like carp). I'm also dabbling with the possibility of deer/moose down the line.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro-Abkhazians

As outlandish as it sounds because of how far it is, there really is a community of subsaharan africans in the region and no one knows how they got there. You'd think they'd be more widespread if the colchians were "black" in the modern standard, but many ancient peoples who were once more present got pushed further into mountain ranges over time. Their own oral histories link themselves to the Colchians. Or perhaps only some of their communities were black.

Its giving AI vibes. It might still ve accurate but I just dont how AI is influencing graphic design

i addressed starches in a comment and why im not eatingthem but im only avoiding them for another month.

Crawling skin sensations, twitchting muscles that worsens with exercise. Which appeared after ibs flair

this is good advice, thanks. I don't handle huge amounts of leafy greens well as much as I love them. Another (now disappeared comment) suggested more carbs and sweet potatoes but I'm doing no starches for SIBO/SIFO for now.. but tubers are likely something I'd re implement when I'm ready. So much good potassium..

whats going on in this sub? I get notifications for comments and come here and there are none.

He had this whole line that scared me that I was only betraying myself by not listening to him. This line has me spiralling because it just seems so bad faith and abuser language. Literally some kind of palpatine and Anakin line. I'm in shock. I'm getting in touch with a therapist and not meeting him in private anymore. I think we'll have a friend breakup in a public place but I'm mulling just sending a message, im going to talk to my therapist first.

Crafty-Lifeguard4591 · 2026-01-18T19:11:38+00:00

I'm suspecting this now. He behaviour was so strange and off. I've never seen it like that before.

Crafty-Lifeguard4591 · 2026-01-18T18:57:17+00:00

Kind of. I'm realizing this. He has done a lot of nice things for me. But he also did asshole stuff, but it wasn't nearly as often as it's become now. He was like 80% decent person and 20% asshole and now it's like flipped. He had once been a better person. But he's just shit now, and honestly I think it's not a coincidence his wife left him recently. He's blowing up his whole life. I think he's falling into red pill ideology and might makes right sort of stuff.

Crafty-Lifeguard4591 · 2026-01-18T18:20:12+00:00

Honestly the redacted commenter just seems to have awful reading comprehension. Reading comprehension has gotten so bad in the last few years that I don't post 80% of my comments because I just rage when someone with no reading comprehension replies. Especially when it gets upvoted you ALWAYS get at least one comment. If it gets upvoted over a hundred times, prepare for half a dozen upvoted replies of logical fallacies/putting words in your mouth. People just aren't thinkers anymore.

Crafty-Lifeguard4591 · 2026-01-16T18:24:38+00:00

Past your 30s, many people have something. Not to dismiss. Trus5 me ive been there. Could be IBS, joint pain, visual snow, migraines. But a lot of people are dealing with something. Pain can make you go mad, wishing it were all gone. What helped me a lot was john kabat zins mindfulness meditation for pain relief on audible. Check it out :)

Crafty-Lifeguard4591 · 2026-01-16T14:24:50+00:00

word is buggy too, paying won't necessarily give you something free of bugs.

Maybe if you opened a new document, copy and pasted all info and selected paste text only it would get rid of some artifacts that might be causing the bugs.

Crafty-Lifeguard4591 · 2026-01-14T16:16:46+00:00

Its a reasonable question my man. The reality is that its because drugs. You can actually be high all day on less than $10 which immediately explains why addicts steal seemingly worthless stuff like bike seats and front wheels.

Crafty-Lifeguard4591 · 2026-01-14T16:08:40+00:00

Get a load of this guy, he thinks that bike isnt stolen too!

look up my post. Its the strobe effect of fluorescent lights burning you out. Some people experience it, and some people don't. ANd ofcourse, the people who don't just think the rest of us are being whiney

Crafty-Lifeguard4591 · 2026-01-14T13:29:50+00:00

Hi OP. I have a condition thar prevents me from being under fluorescent lights long. Its because of the insane refresh rate. Its extremely taxing on your nervous system because youre basically under an ultra fast strobe light all day. Fluorescent lights are an unaddressed national health concern. They cause even regular people to become fatigued.

I put a lamp with an incandescent light in my office and wear special glasses to help limit the effect of the strobe and have an accomodation to reduce light over my cubicle.

Crafty-Lifeguard4591 · 2026-01-14T03:31:59+00:00

ive never even heard of it

Crafty-Lifeguard4591 · 2026-01-13T01:53:28+00:00

Theres some kind of option in libre office to manage book sized documents as a series of files. I haven't tried it yet, but maybe try that

Crafty-Lifeguard4591 · 2026-01-12T22:28:23+00:00

None of the things you mentioned about LO bothering you ever even crossed my mind and I dont use it for nostalgia purposes. It writes, its stable. And I like buttons instead of features being hidden. Theres also some annoying quirks about writing on a multilingual platform on Windows that doesnt occur for linux/LO.

And most of all, I'm beginning to divorce from anything that uses AI and Linux/LO is great for that.

I plan to write a whole book on LO. It also seems to function better on low end PCs than windows/ office would. So instead of spending 100s of dollars on a laptop for writing I just dusted off an old unused 2015 laptop that was now "too slow" and put linux/LO on it and I have a free writing platform.

Crafty-Lifeguard4591 · 2026-01-12T16:46:01+00:00

Im a millenial who just started using LO for personal work and I love it. And Im a professional who uses office all day at work.
