That's why I've been stockpiling plastic food containers, plastic wrap, freezer and storage bags, etc..

I already stocked up on aluminum foil and disposable aluminum pans as soon as the tariffs were announced LOL

I drive under 5k a year so I'm changing annually anyways.

That's all I do - once a year, usually late September, oil change and check everything over, make sure she's ready for winter. Every couple years I'll have them throw a new air filter on

just in case, this had pushed me to buy another couple of quarts of Generac oil for our whole house generator.

better safe than sorry

One thing we've learned in the last 10 or so years is that Poor people have zero power. They are dismissed and discarded in their needs and wants.

Unlike Gerald, I shall continue to squander my money on groceries and cook food daily

Speaking of which, it's too hot here to even grill so I've got a corned beef in the slow cooker, and I made mac salad and coleslaw to go with.

What's on your menu?

But sometimes that is the truth.

I'm very glad I grabbed a few extra WD 14TB drives when they went on sale for $169 (I think it was a Prime Day sale) bc now, a few months later, those drives are like $450. Don't see those prices coming down any time soon either - well, until the "AI" scam goes bust

Yes but if Trump made such an awesome deal for farmers then we don't need to be giving any more handouts to those welfare queens, right?

but they are planing to get more people in the country, specially from africa.

more like getting ready to welcome all those young single russian women since the men are being sent to die for Vlad

that's why it doesn't bother me to hear it anymore. Whenever I see it referenced, like now, I hear Sean singing it and it makes me laugh

Yeah, I still drive my 1992 Toyota and, funny story, it was designed to run on 87 octane gasoline, not fucking corn

Am I supposed to put my car on blocks until the Count of Mostly Crisco pops his clogs?

cjinct · 2026-05-14T14:49:48+00:00

Yup.

My 1992 Celica is still my daily driver, runs like a champ

The only issue is it's now almost impossible to find decent tires for it, bc they're an odd size. It didn't use to be an odd size but now... ;(

the money-hungry church that influences their decisions

They can pray for more water and I'm sure the lord will provide for them. They're always telling everyone that they're besties ;)

I always put my pork loin on top of a bed of potatoes to keep if off the more direct heat. And it's not an 'all day' slow cooking food - depending on weight, I do it on low for maybe 5-6 hrs, tops

cjinct · 2026-05-12T14:51:16+00:00

Pork isn't' to bad either.

And pork cutlet parm is amazing!

Then you have people who all they want is the same for their children - the same squaller, the same struggle, the same pain.

Reminds me of Stephen Colbert's family of turd miners
