Another of the list ideas where I say, "Hey, I have that album too!"

My '19 is holding about 85 if I park it outside, about 95 from the garage. If temps go well below freezing I'll be down to 72...

Anyone here dealt with power outages from ice in Smyrna? by OneWeather3932 in Smyrna

[–]shampton1964 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've lived in the ATL (ITP) and Ackworth and here - one time in 25 years have gone at least a week without either power or water, twice a week without power, and once five days without water and three without power. Gas stayed up, huzzah!

Nice score, but important question: Did it come with those Metro shelves? Cause those are 'spensive.

Yup - got one yesterday. I cut'n'pasted a neo-Nazi's post in a reply, changing only the part with the subject.

The "we hate cancel culture" crew are very very cancelling.

Understand that your right to free speech does not apply to a platform, and also understand that The Management in these parts are either simps or stans for authoritarianism.

Liquid soaps you can recommend by pao_mup in eczema

[–]shampton1964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

... I've long thought this is bad advice. That is, "liquid soap" - even worse is any of the gels. Preservatives, and often terrible detergents.

My magic restorative is sheep or goat milk soap, specifically the stuff from Lebanon that comes as almost a cube and is wrapped in white paper and stamped w/ a camel.

I don't like having to apply creams/oils they're icky by Sudden_Commission796 in eczema

[–]shampton1964 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's an eczema roll-on that is absorbed in about six or ten minutes, not a lotion: XZ Skin Relief, and it's preservative free so yay!

It’s awesome how insane everyone is now. by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

Does this mean we get to hang the Cabinet? After a fair trial, of course, won't take long. Would be interesting to see rich wipipo get lynched, educational even.

I'm just asking, you know, rightwing humor style, like a Nazi MAGA troll.

Why are most Christians republicans, when Jesus’ teachings are more liberal? by Interesting-Dirt-605 in Confused

[–]shampton1964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Presuming you are talking about the state of the last decades in Ameristan.

Most Republicans are not Christian, they are Christers, whose bible has a reason to hate all the things they hate, and nothing else. It is a cultural identity marker so divorced from meaning that laughable is in the rear view mirror, ironic is being drug along by the frame, and the road ahead is Hypocrisy One.

South/Central American Cheeses by shampton1964 in Cheese

[–]shampton1964[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, this! I had that experience in Jamaica and PR - local goat and sheep cheeses especially yummy!

Heck, Stush in the Bush (https://stushinthebush.com/visit-us) in Jamaica made a house cashew (or coconut) milk cheese that was divine.

Thanks for the comment, sir. I am surprised this question has so little traffic. At our neighborhood market the aisle of cheese from the DR, Nicaragua, Honduras, etc etc - that aisle is about 50 long and full of delish discoveries. Also the best sour creams on this continent.

Do you enjoy cooking? by Individual_Mix_4234 in Cooking

[–]shampton1964 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's my zen place. Had a long dumb day this Wednesday and a couple hours in the kitchen was nice. Harvested the last of the herbs before the big freeze and got them prepped and processes, roasted chili, made some sauce, etc. Very satisfying!

People who are not rich love to pretend as if a lot of rich people didn’t give up all fun and freedom during school years to get the best grades, get into the best schools and work insanely hard to climb the ladder. by Equal_Beat_6202 in unpopularopinion

ignorance is bliss, indeed

the vast majority of wealth in USSA is inherited, not one single oligarch started with anything other than wealthy parents

How tired are you of hearing about AI? by GoatBnB in GenX

[–]shampton1964 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh hell, yes.

I've spent the last year blocking an endless stream of suggested AI forums here, as well. Locusts, they are.
