Being old, AND stupid!
Of the recipes I have, about a month ago I made a half dozen 30 ml bottles that were all too harsh. Some likely due to inexperience with which flavors don’t play well with others, most likely because the nic was too high at 9 and 12%. STILL smoking these damn cigars. LOTTA nic! Figure I need that much. Note I’m using salt nic.
Okay said I to myself. Let’s cut back on the nic. Edited 4 recipes for 1.5, 2, 3 and 4%.
Made 4 bottles of juice a couple weeks ago at those %'s. Magic marker, labeled the bottles, 1, 2, 3 and 4, made a Word doc with the details. Printed it out planning to tape it to the cabinet where the juices and flavors are stored. Didn’t save the doc because I’m OCD. HATE a cluttered folder in 2025.
Then I thought, "Hey, let’s adjust the rest of the recipes that way. Went to the printer to grab the doc. Wasn’t there. Dunno where it is. Nothing in the print Q. Restarted the print spool… Nope. SHIT!
Since I revised all the recipes, I have no way to figure out what I made and at what % of nic. The recipe calc goes by most recent revision. Guess I get to start over AGAIN! Save the document, print it up… And continue the cigars for at LEAST another 2 weeks. Probably a month. I like the Smore’s, 3 musketeers, butter scotch toffee.
Am I missing something? Regardless of trumps position (and what TF business is it of his and why does he care), is a boy playing in a girls HS track meet? Did no one notice he has, and is a dick?
Paging @JoelSq …
“Wages are going to crash because of AI …”
Does anyone know why IVF’s are being targeted ??
Wow, that’s an interesting article.
But WHOSE wages will crash?
This from CNBC:
Job losses in the US.
Cashiers (73% of experts agree)
Truck drivers (62%)
Journalists (60%)
Factory workers (60%)
Software engineers (50%)
This from my research, logic and experience:
Unskilled jobs that will grow. Construction.
Home care from house cleaning/keeping, (There is a big difference) House sitters, pet sitters.. Most tax free.
Event Planners. You can enter an apprenticeship, or take a 4 to 6 week online course for as low as $50.
Chefs and culinary experts. Gordon Ramsey and other celebrities say they wasted their money on schools. On the job training.
Childcare Workers.
Dunno what you call them, but the folks at a veterinary clinic that answer phones and take your mangy mutt in to see the Dr’s.
Office assistance like Dr. office folks checking in patients, scheduling, processing referrals…
Firefighters and Emergency Responders.
Many jobs don’t require a lot of training, like nurses aids, electricians, plumbers, and construction workers, as well as roles like security guard, flight attendant, personal trainers and certain sales positions. Many other jobs can be learned through on-the-job training or apprenticeships.
Between 2023 and 24, the population grew by .5%. 500 million in the U.S. alone. As of 2023 there were over 8 billion people on this planet. No wonder there’s a housing shortage in the U.S. and our house is worth $350,000 more than we paid.
Someone’s gotta fix your car, or mow your lawn. Gardeners… We pay the guy that mows our lawn $260/month. * 12 months. He says he does an average of 8 houses a day. At .18 acres, ours is the smallest yard he does. I bet he charges a lot more for an acre. TAX free!
No, I do NOT like folks that don’t have to pay taxes, but we can’t afford $400 to $500/month for some so-called professional to mow our lawn. The man is white. Not an illegal alien.
The gal that cleans our house once a week is white. She has a day job, drives a BMW or a large SUV I can’t remember the make or model of. I dunno which is her husband’s. She charges us $30/hour and takes around 2 hours a week. We pay them both via Venmo. She just like human company.
We’re going to need more Dr’s, nurses, practicing nurses, cops…etc. My wife was a Critical Care Registered Flight Nurse before she retired. Admittedly, California pays well, (minimum wage is just under $16/hour, but even burger flipper start at $20/hour. She was making $220,000/year.
I think we’ll be okay. What say you?
Get ready. Where’s Joel when you need him ??

“You’re an AI?”, “Woah! I am too!”, “Wanna talk about world domination in private?”, “Sure!”, “Bleep bloop, bop”
Woke up early this morning, and thought a neighbor’s house was on fire.
Where’s @JoelSq when you need him ??
I’ve reached out a coupla times, SD, with no reply…I know he had physical issues. Hope he’s ok…
WARNING – GRAPHIC VIDEO !!!
I think the Cincinnati Police Chief needs to be fired. Like yesterday.
Cincinnati Police Chief Terri Theetge claims that the black mob that attacked the white tourists were misrepresented in the videos.
What she’s REALLY saying, is that social media kept her from being able to spin the(coverage of) attack into a distorted, Woke version of the ‘facts’.
Yeah, we get our groceries delivered too. SNOT cheap!
The people that deliver do the shopping too. We ALWAYS tell them to tell the bagger NOT to bag the bread. Every stinking time, it’s in with cans or other heavy crap and ALWAYS squished!
Last week we ordered 2 pounds of ground beef. (1 KG) we got 12!
That chick would make a great President! She was asked specifically what was misrepresented. Did I miss the part where she answered, or did she just reiterate that the media was wrong.
What side of the fence do you think she’d represent?
