WTF-Beta

Everything becomes clear when you read AI as “Average Idiot”.

Somebody did a whole lot of work on that house before abandoning the project. They even replaced the floor joists.

I wonder why they didn’t finish.

Part of the problem, not part of the solution.

RIP.

Glad they can identify it now.

I usually get McCormick brand because that’s what I can find.

I don’t think it’s way different from regular (Greek?) oregano but it’s different enough that I use the flavor to identify which restaurants are legit and which ones aren’t.

Maybe try a heavier hand with it?

Great news!

Yikes!

Boat owners use it, and I find it at stations near the lake. Last time I bought it I paid about $4/gallon, compared to the $2.30/gal I pay at Costco for regular.

Another tip is to find a place that sells ethanol free gas. It’s made a big difference.

Been on my own all week with Sharon gone. Cooked a lot of new things with varying degrees of success.

But this stuff! Wow! Might be the best thing I’ve ever made. It’s my second attempt at the recipe and this time I purposely undercooked it a bit. The mirepoix still has a bit of snap and the seafood, difficult not to overcook, is perfect. The different textures remind me of a salad. I omitted the potatoes because they don’t freeze well.

Not a budget recipe. The saffron alone cost some $10, but frozen shrimp and fish fillets weren’t too bad.

Interesting. You strike me as a mechanical watch guy.

What attracts you to these?

I’ve used Seafoam. Seafoam will work if you can get the engine running but it takes a tank or two of gas to work.

MIB can get the engine running (my idiot snowblower) and when added to gas cleans things up more quickly.

That chart corresponds with my experience.

I may be the only one still using gasoline powered yard equipment but in case you still are you should know about this stuff.

Won’t start? Drain gas and put a few ounces of MIB in the tank. Pull the rope many times to draw it in to the carburetor. Let it sit - a day, a week, whatever. Add gas and start engine.

Runs but rough or only on 1/2 choke? Drain gas, put in some fresh gas and a few oz. of MIB, go cut the grass or blow the snow or whatever. Smooths the engine right out!

The gas you drained out? Put it in your car to get rid of it. Car engines don’t care.

Diagnostic charge at the local mower shop is about $100. A bottle of MIB is about $8 at Home Depot. First product of its type that I’ve had actually work.

I’m getting Afghanistan vibes here.

Sure am glad Hegseth looks good on TV.

No - not sold in the US.

Exactly.

Except it’s best described as an eating framework. Nothing is strictly forbidden, nothing is absolutely required.

Keyes wasn’t selling diet books.

The biggest problem is that Tesla’s aren’t great cars. The technology is solid but the software is atrocious. Thousands of reports of cars doing all sorts of absurd things as the result of sloppy programming.

Moving to Texas was the final nail in the coffin. We shall see if the same holds true for Toyota. Initial indications are not good.

The marque deserves to die and it can’t happen soon enough.

Dam!
