5.50 at the expensive HEB in san marcos. 18 for 9. Just ordered a new batch of chicks for FiL's place. Plan is whatever we don't eat goes to either the food bank or others we know in rough times.

 

I probably need to add a chicken or two to my coop. None are laying right now with daylight being so short.

If I was rebuilding I would add Quail as a side run.

But of course you are now going to get bird flu. Are you drinking your bleach?

Actually that is a main reason I’ve hesitated adding. I know my birds are healthy and don’t want to add an unknown.

Bleach and horse paste are Covid treatments, don't you know? The protocol for bird flu is going to be antifreeze and glue, taken orally for three days or until symptoms abate. I'm pretty sure the symptoms will be gone quite quick but the prognosis is poor.

dammit, but neighbor, big joe rogan fan is doing it wrong. He said they were a suppository. No wonder he has not shit in a week.

RIP Bubba, I promise to not piss on your aggy flag.

100% of Walgreens have groceries 

Last week, I had to pick up a prescription in Walgreens.  They had store brand froot loops on sale for $1.88 a box.  I grabbed a box, because when it comes to breakfast cereal, I have the tastes of a cartoon-addled six year old. 

NO RAGRETS.

 Shelf date of 2007, but fuck it, they are fruit loops. Twinkies ever lasting color.

Wonder if it a coating additive this guy invented?

Whether you want to believe it or not, a majority of Americans are not happy with the way dems have addressed the border. Hispanics in particular, especially those who live in border states, resoundingly rejected it. This is the reality, and the national level dems massively misjudged this to their peril. Many post mortems point to this as perhaps the biggest factor in losing what should have been a solid blue bloc

 

eta you don’t have to play to a group’s fears. You do have to acknowledge a group’s fears and show them that you have a plan to address them, not just tell them the fears are unfounded 

"Most post mortems" that I've heard do not mention Christian Nationalism or Project 2025 at all. That's likely because the people doing post mortems didn't like talking about the former and used the latter as shorthand as though everybody knew exactly what it was in their analyses leading up to the election.

They narrow-mindedly focus on things that are easy and habitual. The best example of this is the way they focus on the tiny percentage of the vote that they claim determines outcome. They're obsessed with the horserace aspect of coverage. If only the Dem horse had a bigger nose. Look at the horses in toto.

Among the elephants (mixed metaphors, anyone?) which they ignore in what must be a gigantic room, is what the majority as a whole voted for. A totally amoral man has been elected president. The voters know this because they regularly rationalize away his vile and wicked deeds or embrace them. Those who didn't vote gave silent approval. I can say this because every aspect of Trump's character is public. Even so, analysts shy from talk of morality because it's subjective. They shy from talking about religion because it's just not done.

I've seen nothing about those aspects of the election in the analyses I've heard on the radio, seen linked from here, or viewed on TV news.

I make myself tiresome by repeating this; they don't grasp the new paradigm. I don't know whether that's laziness or timidity. We're not talking about stupid people, so it's not ignorance.

Dem messaging is exceptionally low in the list of considerations about what just happened in November. They've tried lots of stuff that doesn't work because they still operate like a political party pressing a policy agenda. That's what they are. The war being waged by the GOPs has succeeded in marginalizing Dems as socialist enemies of democracy. All of this while Donald Trump is gutting government to build a fief.

Long post. Sorry about that.

Right. The reason the Democrats will not address this issue, and the reason the Republicans fail to really solve it, is because the economy of the US benefits from the status quo.

True. You point to exploitation of immigrants to keep prices down, but many immigrants make minimum wage jobs.

No matter, you touch on the main point, IMHO. In the hubub about messaging and policies to save us from the stream of immigrants, who honestly states what the problem is with it.

I mostly see benefits. I only see lies about criminals in lieu of actual arguments about how these people coming to the US is harming the US. Why is that? See my bloviations above about analysis and apply it to how this elephant is ignored. 

I believe it's been established here a number of times over the years that they are not an actual drain on US resources as so many work and contribute through taxes and SS payments.

What's the problem? White people don't want to be outnumbered, is obvious, but nobody says that out loud. And white people benefit from the presence of the immigrants as much or more than everybody else.

The HEB nearest me was sold the fuck out of eggs yesterday...not a one in the store to be found.  I guess if you don't have them, people can't bitch about how much they cost.

As was mine this week, which is in the Heights are of Houston. The shelves were completely bare, regardless of brand more or less, and the guy was restocking as I was there so I grabbed a dozen just becuase. Also, the price was up 50% compared to the last time I got eggs a few weeks ago. 

I'm guessing this is the situation at every HEB in Texas at this  point.

I forgot that you are the Salesforce tech support guy that peddles misinformation in the CR.

Your life has been a waste.

You sound bitter for someone who has loads of sex with consenting 20 year olds that are not down on their luck and turn to prostitution

and it’s manager. Address me as a manager.

Good point. NOw that I think about it my preferred brands of milk were also super low. What does chicken usually cost? The HEB natural was like 4.50 a lb, and that feels high?

 

Have to assume that they'll just stop updating this website shortly:

There was literally zero talk about the Texas legislature before I arrived and forced it down everyone’s throat to break up “DAE think Trump is evil” topics. I am a net positive in all of your lives. You can thank me in my DMs if you’re not comfortable showing vulnerability.

Eggs are for women it's science

The descendants of covered wagon era western pioneer families sometimes still have family traditions that girls don’t eat  eggs or that only boys should like eggs, passed mother to daughter, because of the brutal nutritional shortage that many frontier families lived with.  
The most nutritionally dense foods (and eggs are the single most nutrient dense and plentiful food on most farms) were allocated to the men and boys first, and women lived on what was left.
