I always thought it funny people would think food was good the day before expiration, but bad the day of expiration. And that food processors could predict that exact date a year in advance. Canned food has an expiration date, but will last decades. Even bottled water has an expiration date. How can bottled water "expire"? Just another case of people doing what they're told rather than thinking for themselves.

Read an analysis of that a while ago. Prevailing logic is that American football is not truly a cardiac-intensive game - 10 seconds of intense activity separated by 45-75 seconds between plays. Cardiac issues show up in Soccer, where the players run about 7 miles in a game. Most football players probably don't cover more than a couple hundred yards.

What ever happened to "male and female he created them"? Right there in Genesis 5. Not sure what 'revelation' he had, but like the 'revelations' to Muhammed, not all revelations are from God.

If you haven't done so, listen to MickeyD2's post from yesterday - an interesting take on what he believes is taking place and why he's not dooming.

There is an organic antifreeze that is used on plumbing in RVs/trailers to winterproof them for outside storage. You should be able to use that. about $5/gallon Walmart or most home stores.

They want the trucks to be autonomous, too... What could go wrong?

Found the problem: "Too many people are ignoring the ban," Poloncarz, a Democrat, said at a news conference."

Dry just means zero residual sugar (e.g. all the sugar in the grapes is fermented into alcohol). So a wine can be completely dry (zero residual sugar) but fruity, as with red Zinfandel or Italian Chianti (Sangiovese grape). These are typically dry reds than most people like because they are still fruit-forward. Malbecs, particularly from high-altitude Argentinian vineyards will be dry but fruity.

Many people consider "dry" is the astringent aftereffects of a wine that sucks all the moisture out of your mouth. That is referred to as "tannic" because red grape skins have a high level of tannin, a preservative (and the source of the term "tanning" leather.) Cabernet Sauvignon is typically rather tannic, as are Nebbiolo, some Shiraz, and Tempranillo. Merlot can be tannic (as a French Pomerol), but most American Merlots are vinted to be smooth. Tannins preserve the wine, but do break down over time, which is why tannic wines age well - the tannins preserve the wine while it mellows, and the tannins themselves decompose over time resulting in a smoother wine.

If you are looking for tannic, choose wines that are 3+ years old. The reds that are one year old (e.g. a 2021 or 2022) were probably made to be smooth and drinkable when young. You want a wine that would have been intended to cellar for a few years, which generally will be aged at the winery for a couple years before release.

Vivino is a website and an app that has pretty decent reviews and ratings and lots of reference info. I've been a wine fan for decades, but still use Vivino often.

If you have Autmotive antifreeze pour some down. Alcohol works as well, rubbing alcohol or vodka.

Because the media uses it to describe an appropriate response (e.g. Jan 6) to an event that really should never happen again (e.g., stolen election).

Yeah. That is why it is so hard to wake the normies up. If you had a choice between believing you took a "safe and effective vaccine" that will protect you from "the deadliest virus known to man" you're pretty happy. If you have to start facing up to the fact you took a poison that has a good chance of killing you at any time between right now and 30 years from now, you'd probably want to stick your head in the sand, too.

Deception based warfare. From Wikipedia: The Ghost Army was a United States Army tactical deception unit during World War II officially known as the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops.[1][2] The 1100-man unit was given a unique mission: to deceive Hitler's forces and mislead them as to the size and location of Allied forces, while giving the actual units elsewhere time to maneuver.[3] Activated on January 20, 1944, the Ghost Army arrived in Europe in May shortly before D-Day and returned to the US at the end of the war in July 1945.[4][5] During their tenure, the Ghost Army carried out more than 20 deception campaigns, putting on a "traveling road show" utilizing inflatable tanks, sound trucks, fake radio transmissions, scripts and pretense.[2]

Their story was kept a secret for more than 50 years after the war, until it was declassified in 1996.[2][6] The unit was the subject of a PBS documentary The Ghost Army in 2013.[5] In February 2022, members of the Ghost Army were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, citing their unique and highly distinguished service.[3]

How is it that migrants that supposedly walked the length of Mexico have clean shoes in good condition? And short hair that has obviously been cut relatively recently? Several people in clean white jackets?
