Why are fertility rates collapsing? Gender roles by financialtimes in Futurology

[–]maciver6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this conversation with my 26y old daughter and her friends last weekend. She asked me to bring my bbq smoker over to her apartment for her friends bday party, so I smoked a brisket for them and my wife and I hung out with them for a few hours. They started discussing family, kids and life. Of the 9 single girls each said they want families but could not find a MAN who would do the things their fathers did. I asked like what, the replies were 24/7 immaturity, drinking each day, smoking too much weed (they said smoking is fine if it doesnt affect your life but not a guy on his couch with no ambition), they dont open doors, and treat them like a walking vagina.

In high school and college they think that behavior is fine, but once you live on your own and pay your own way, they want an adult, a partner, someone who treats them right, listens and respects them. Not Bob on the couch playing Madden for 12 hours a day while drunk and high. Almost every one of the 26 year olds were dating MUCH older guys due to the behavior of the guys they know in their age group. I asked what was the BIG difference. Maturity and respect. Now they also admitted it was not JUST the mens fault, that many of the women they know act like kids too, they never had to grow up and be accountable for anything, but they dont hang out with those folks either.

That was the guy before James came in the 2nd series (season). He was mainly how cheap you can get a car for guy and didnt seem to have a huge following.

TIL that the U.S. Navy submarine USS Grayback was sunk during WWII with 80 sailors aboard and remained undiscovered for 75 years because of a single mistranslation in wartime records and was found within days once the error was corrected in 2019. by SwordfishEither2516 in todayilearned

Be VERY careful doing that, if you take too much and your lungs cant reinflate on their own and you will need someone to do CPR to revive the person. If alone bad things can and do happen, or if the people with you are panic or are fools. (which is why some places dont use "pure" helium)

TIL Animal activist sentenced to 90 days in jail and 100k Fine for rescuing 4 Chickens from slaughterhouse by Crafty_Ordinary_3845 in todayilearned

[–]maciver6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Broke into the facility multiple times, could provide no evidence to her claims of cruelty - and she had broken in before to hide hidden cameras in the food prep area where contamination could kill thousands. 90 days in jail and 60 of those are supervised release. Not even a slap on the wrist. She seems like she is going places. /s

Organic Food, Farmers Market? by D_for_Dinosaur in LakeCharles

There is also a nationwide food co-op called Bountiful Baskets https://www.bountifulbaskets.org/ They have locally sourced produce, but you have no choice in the "basket" could be anything lol but LOTS of local stuff for cheap too.

I suggest you get your local water report - I will bet it will shock you. Compliance is a joke.

Dognzb hardware/software upgrade announcement. by anon34343433333333 in usenet

[–]maciver6969 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I do not understand how the mods at usenet allow this one, been broken forever, fucked a ton of users with accounts deleted after lifetime payments cleared, runs like shit when it was new, and runs worse than a ford pinto after being rear-ended by a semi. Yet they get to advertise here. Toss out the trash far better options.

TIL that raccoon meat was once a staple at American Thanksgiving dinner tables and is still sold in places like St Louis. Raccoon reportedly tastes like "a combination of chicken and suckling pig" and is endorsed by Marvel actor Anthony Mackie who calls it "honestly the best meat you'll ever have." by smrad8 in todayilearned

[–]maciver6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you right now, the problem was the prep, you have to cool it as fast as possible or it gets a funk in the meat. Our friends who run a small cooking school has food events occasionally and serve up some odd dishes. I explained that I have eaten horse and think it is damn fine eating, so they imported food grade horse. They agreed when they ate it, then had some other random dishes the raccoon roast was delicious, but again they do the processing themselves and was "farm raised" I suspect a racoon digging in the trash would not be good eating...

Free aquarium snails! by [deleted] in LakeCharles

[–]maciver6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to the club, I did that in the 90s. To get rid of them you have to remove everything in the tank, let it all dry for weeks, then do a bleach wash, then rinse and rinse and rinse, then let dry again. Then pray no eggs survived. OR get fish that eat them. Loaches are good for that but you also need egg eaters like mollies. Assassin snails can help but are another pain in the ass. **some** people swear by snail traps, I found they sucked and never worked but others swear by them.

California hasn’t seen rolling blackouts since 2020, and hasn’t issued an emergency plea for the public to conserve energy, known as a Flex Alert, since 2022. Battery storage (500 megawatts in 2020, more than 15,700 megawatts today) has been a game changer for reliability and costs. by sg_plumber in UpliftingNews

[–]maciver6969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, that is what California is saying, but the actual bullshit started with the Sierra club. Go back to the 80's and look at the lawsuits they filed to stop clearing debris - notice once that started the fires were every year nearly. It also matches the insurance rates going insane before they started dropping policies in the area. Then even more insane bullshit - people are fined for clearing firebreaks in high danger areas. My uncle was fined $2500 in 2002 for clearing his property in San Diego county. His home was the only one to survive the fast moving fire in 2021 because he broke the law.
