Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way

Sadly I'm not surprised. I wonder if these payments to doctors are listed under the regular pharmaceutical payments to doctors.

Edit: I just checked my primary doctor who is a Nurse Practitioner, she's never tried to push anything on me. I go for yearly blood work and if I occasionally need antibiotics. She has never been paid until 2020. It's $447.00 listed as food and beverage.
How can I get Pepe the frog added to my handle?
I'm not sure about the details. You have to have a certain amount of points, it's a very high amount. Mods give them out. I see it a something a veteran here would get after they contribute to the community. Someone might be able to explain it better. Basically you gotta earn it.
Need to find a home for a special needs German Shepherd. He needs a larger person experienced with the breed who wants a constant companion and has no other animals. He's approx 1.5-2 yrs old and neutered.
I actually posted about him several months ago. He belongs to a friend of a friend in GA. I'm in AZ. I found him a home in AZ but those people want to send him back to GA. He was abused as a pup, rescued by someone who has no idea what she's doing, tied up, crated. Wants to be in charge and guard everything. That owner got bitten when she picked him up by his front legs to drag him into his crate. After that he came to a family in AZ but he doesn't get along with their other dogs and they can't give him the attention and exercise he needs so he's been destructive.
No rescue we've found will help either because they're full or because he's been aggressive. Doesn't matter that that was due to mishandling.
Any ideas? I don't know where to post since the dog is currently in AZ but may or may not be heading back to GA soon. So could be adopted by the right person in any state if transport can be arranged.
Edit: I should make it clear he loves people and loves affection. But he knows no boundaries and has a dominant personality in need of a job.
Maybe reach out to local German Shepard rescue groups. If they can't help they might be able to guide you since finding homes is what they do. Unfortunately most animal groups like this are on Facebook. When we needed to find home for cat & kittens we took in my husband talked to the lady on Facebook and then I got her number and coordinated with out Facebook.
So far, everyone is too full to be helpful at all
Maybe put up old fashioned flyer at post office, library or anywhere that allows it. Maybe a local smile diner or coffee shop. What about military? They might do something with service dogs for injured. Hope it works out.
Enjoy your ride. if you ever get to NC look up Tail of the Dragon. I've watched it on YouTube and it looks rough. I'm a roller coaster freak but don't like motorcycles. My husband has had a couple over the years. He sold his last one because he didn't have a riding partner.

Why is Kristi Noem so sexy? #MakePoliticiansFitAgain

Kek it’s the slightly off-putting look in her eyes. Like a 1000 yard stare kek. I heard the gov on Beck the other day and was impressed with her support for Boss.
I was thinking about the comment "for they loved not their lives even unto death" and realized that of course we all love life. Life is a gift from God. The quote from John in the book of Revelation is pointing to the fact that people, who bc of fear of death, will put up with just about anything. Even taking a poisonous jab and wearing a mask when there is no scientific evidence that either of those actions work in the least. I believe that's exactly what this statement is referring to. People have been taught to be so afraid of death that they can't live life to the fullest and will ultimately bring about their own demise.
That makes sense. I hadn't examined that verse on this level, but looking at it from your 40,000 ft. view, I see it now. Matthew 16:25 says, For whosoever will save his life shall lose it, and whosoever shall lose his life for MY sake shall find it. I feel like I have learned to lean hard on Jesus when I have lost friends and family by refusing to give into fear. I lost the old life that I once considered "normal" by refusing to live in fear. That life is gone, but in a good way.
God did not give us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power and of love and of a sound mind. We did not lust after the covid-fear-porn that was daily being injected into our media, and this angered those who chose to lust. We just kept on living our best life and trusting that God is in control, not covid, not fear, not vain lust of self-survival. When you lose your friends and family because you refuse to lust after the fear hype, you suddenly find your one true friend who stood by you when the others left you ... Jesus!
Absolutely right. I love my life it is great, and I am so blessed by God, however; if it should end tomorrow I have I daughter I haven’t seen since she was 3 and a father I’ve missed for 38 years. Either way I’m good. Everyday is a gift, and we should live as such.
i was today year old when i realized 'gandarks chewing on the power cables' .. how they came up with the critter's name. gan dark. gone. dark.
decades after empire strikes back and my brain that tries to decode everything is now auditing old memories.
My favorite moment in Trump's speech last night in South Dakota?
When he recognized and honored Kristi Noem's Mom.
My favorite moment was when he choked up as the music started about 20 minutes bf the end.... very touching. Makes me love, respect and admire him that much more, if that was possible!
“Everything’s Flipped” I spend a little bit of time researching corporations and the world population number but don’t have enough interesting to report right now. This week’s topic is Refrigerators.
The typical refrigerators and freezers prioritize aesthetics, ease of access, and size over efficiency. The french door and side by side units promoted now are not as efficient as the traditional top freezer. I mention this because a fridge is one of the largest devices you might want to power during a blackout. They don’t need that much power, typically 200 watts or less when running. But a typical fridge will use over 1200 Wh per day, quickly draining a solar power bank.
You can convert a chest freezer to a fridge and it will be much more efficient. https://www.builditsolar.com/Projects/Conservation/FreezerConversion/FreezerConversion.htm Of course, the refrigerated volume is much smaller. But if you need a small volume, a chest freezer uses less energy as a freezer than an equivalent mini-fridge. The energy to operate a freezer as a fridge will be about half that of freezer mode. Typical results are 300 Wh per day or less.
Chloroflourocarbon refrigerants were considered a miracle until the ozone hole. Non-flammable and non-toxic. This was posted on scored soon after the original 4chan? post. https://media.greatawakening.win/post/WK1J2wlVdoWn.png I’m not a chemist, but does adding one carbon atom to R-134a really reduce the global warming potential from 1430 to less than 1? How do they even measure it? This doesn’t mention the solution, “natural” refrigerants. Commercial systems can use ammonia for maximum efficiency. For residential systems they are using hydrocarbons now. Look at a new fridge and it may have a warning label for “flammable refrigerant.” I haven’t heard of environ-mentalists wanting to ban refrigerators yet. The amount of refrigerant and energy used by refrigerator is dwarfed by air conditioning.
Overall refrigerators aren’t terrible for us. Sure beats storing and hauling blocks of ice. Refrigerators are responsible for removing root cellars from our homes. A root cellar doesn’t cool as well but could have some utility for preserving food. Also consider the Zeer Pot, an evaporative cooling device built from nested clay pots. https://thehomesteadinghippy.com/diy-zeer-pot/
Some things that increase fridge energy consumption are the ice maker and water dispenser. And down another rabbit hole we go! Ice cold drinks are an addiction. First hit is free. https://archive.ph/nhAX2 Really. Frederic “The Ice King” Tudor gave away iced drinks in order to sell ice later.
Ice cold water stresses the teeth. Ice cold water numbs the taste so it’s easier to drink the otherwise bad tasting tap water. Water needs to be warmed up and structured before it can be used. https://youtu.be/S3ZV1zL_kZM
R22 was utilized until being forced out by the EPA. It was replaced with R410a. The problem is its operating pressure is twice that of r22, thereby resulting in increased coil leaks. R410a is actually propane with a fire retardant added. Dumb fucks at the epa. And now they will start using straight propane in small appliances here soon. For extra good safety i guess. I repeat- the epa is full of dumb fucks. They are saying we need to incorporate fire retardant clothing into our ppe repetoir. Dumb fucks are dumb.
Bring back R12...
You can get it cold enough to hang meat in your car...27 deg F out of the vents!!! Literally shit out frost on a hot day lol
Yes, considering how efficient the portable non-peltier minis are, there's a ton of room for improvement in appliances... that's just what everyone will want to do as we recover from dystopia...buy all new appliances.
Thanks for the zeer pit info... although swamp coolers et al don't do well in humid conditions.
Romans 5:7-8 For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— 8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
