Random Rants #88: [incoherent screaming]

[amadeus]

How come the left side of my face doesn’t want to shave like the right side of my face? There is a cavern on my face of stubborn hairs that cannot be cut down. It should be easy for me to reach them, but the skin is uncooperating.

I can just kind of get to them, but it takes me as much time to get that little area as it does to shave the whole rest of my face.

Let me tell you how this ends:

So I'm listening to some folks on the radio: A Trump supporter says she doesn't want to "live under government rule"; then the very next clip is of one of Mike Pence talking about bringing "law and order" to American streets.

Who's killing whom here? A cop shoots an unarmed man in the back seven times and then a cop-supporter murders two people, in support of cops. Who. Is. Killing. Whom?

And then Tucker Carlson says the murderer - MUR.DER.ER. - was the one "maintaining order."

I think now that when Mike Pence said "you will not be safe if Joe Biden is elected", it wasn't a warning. I think it was a threat. 'Cause, look. Who's killing whom? Proof's in the pudding.

I've [flipping] had it with Trump supporters. Had it. Up to here.

<looks around> Now that's about how I've felt about the murderers for an age. Welcome to the club?

Well, I guess I was assuming you weren't Tucker Carlson, but it's nice to know for sure. I, too, am anti-murderer.

 

[Farm Boy]

Our filters are a bit different. I see a lot of them when I look around here. But you're still welcome to the club just straight up. It's not a happy brain space!

My eggs had an expiry date of September 20 but they were already bad yesterday.

You should have known that anything with a "20" in the date is suspect at best right now.

 

[Arakhor]

You had eggs that would last a month??

We treat eggs the same way as the Americans, so they last pretty long in the fridge. 3 to 4 weeks.

 

[thecrazyscot]

Yeah, our eggs are good for weeks in the fridge.

Well now you've done it and just entered the secret cheat code to trigger the Apocalypse. We're in the end game now.

See y'all on the other side.

Eggs are an excellent source of biotin
I am sort of allergic to them, though. Well, I can't eat eggs every day or every other day anyway.

 

[elmurcis]

My chicks give me 6-8 eggs per day. If I forget to eat too many I might find myself looking into fridge and asking "Oh my... 40 eggs? Where I should put them now?" Good that I have neighbors that can get my eggs with big discount (vs market price)

 

[Birdjaguar]

We keep eggs in the fridge for weeks.

I got free range eggs yesterday that last till the 10th, so just about two weeks. Plenty of time to down them all. I had a curry omelette with sautéed shiitske shrooms for lunch snd it was great.

Do free-range eggs taste differently to an appreciable extent? I've considered trying them, but they are over twice the price of normal eggs here.

Or is it just an ethics deal?

 

[Farm Boy]

What they eat changes the flavor of the egg, some. I dont' find it terribly noticeable. Maybe if you ate them raw instead of cooked. Which I wouldn't. The anal-retention in the process that is required to keep you safe from salmonella eating a raw egg increases the price a lot.

 

[JohannaK]

A bit if both. Mostly ethics, but there is something about the flavour. I couldnt coul you what because I'm rather habituated by now. When you get a normal egg you can see it in though.
