  1. I remember taking German for 4 years in High School, learning declension: Der, Die, Das, Die, Dem, Der, Dem, Den; Ich, du, er, Sie, es, dem, der..... Asking my mom for help during this part of the curriculum, hers & others' were mostly: Didn't much study it, since it was their mother tongue & came naturally; which was all the more frustrating, because there was not many people with whom to practice & engage my learning of the language in my area of Kentucky....
  2. All the weed jokes; how much more of an indictment is it of so many people's chosen apathetic ignorance of basic knowledge when they are ostensibly 'sober'? (That was a statement in the form of a rhetorical question, therefore needing no response).
  3. I am SOO BEYOND TIRED of people using a singular-possessive to indicate a simple plural. Example: You guy's don't know nothin'. I mean, did they stop paying attention in 5th grade? Did they ever pay attention. It's difficult to take any statement someone posits, when they can't proficiently communicate at a grade school level. Then they claim you're being picky. FFS.
  4. OMG!!! Proper plural-possessive apostrophe usage!! You glorious bastard, you! This is a fucking rarity!
  5. Too busy/lazy to edit; fast-forward at your leisure/peril!
  6. https://youtu.be/Q096w0Fz2p4?t=95
  7. This is an obvious plea for additions to the 'Fat Man in Repose' series; fear not, friend; they are in the offing.
  8. The ir0ny does not go unnoticed that the source of this grievous epithet unironically emanates from one whose visage is not unlike The Amazing Randi's 2nd cousin! ...with orders of magnitude < dress habits, of course!
  9. Non sequitur ad hominem?
  10. See? When you share a passion, or keen interest...& this is the answer, it's pretty much wasteful to toss pearls.
  11. 'Timmah' operates, at times, on many levels...usually kept tacit due to the uninterested. Noticed people's eyes glaze over from a young age when I would exposit on the granular of any of my many interests...care to discuss slip-faults of the Pacific Rim & their somewhat tangential correlation to Arabica cultivars microclimates?
  12. Never said as much. I prefaced this threD with a polite request for useful commentary, & you immediately do exactly not that with you alter ego
  13. ....sigh....Here, pizza fan, maybe this will be more interesting:
  14. We have genes in common with insects, lizards, mice & many microorganisms, both extant & extinct. Our development in the womb is a mini history of our species' evolution taking place during our fetal development; to include forming a tail & reabsorbing it during our 9 month stay in our mother's uterus. Another example would be the endocannabinoid system...ALL SPECIES have this system: ALL OF THEM, to include us. Having a neurochemical system means that we produce the necessary analogs that are the coin of the realm of this system, of course. A deeper, more interesting question, should one choose to further delve beyond the "I'm not a mouse" realm would then be: How has teh Marijuana managed to produce a chemical analog of this endocannabinoid system that acts upon this system? Or, conversely, how did we develop.... ALL SPECIES, a system that this plant- previously to our evolution on this rock-already possessed? Or you could continue to live on the surface of your mind's potential of discovery. In closing, a last tidbit: Plants have more genes than we, as a species.
  15. ...or: Reviving My Heirloom curated collection. Have spent countless hours perusing-with joy-the rich history of heirloom tomatoes from around the world; a not-inconsiderable portion of which hail from Europe; Eastern Europe in-particular. I've tried the majority of these & am excited to refresh my stock & grow-out those that I haven't, some in my possession for going on 15 years,now. Please feel free to contribute productive commentary to the conversation.
  16. Heady times stemming- see what I did there- from Watson-Crick: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33408182/ https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-genes-ageing-idUSKBN29P02V
  17. This is Captain Obvious, in case it, too is not.....obvious....
  18. Fishing/hunting guide would be my dream job. Something where you immerse yourself in the environment; you lose yourself to find yourself: There's a level of quiet, still awareness that is ineffably expansive; where you -in the truest sense of the word- realize connectedness, integrity. Like I said, it's ineffable, sublime, gossamer & immensely, all-pervasively fundamental. And no, it doesn't require some 'good shit' to ....realize, apprehend....just stillness.
  19. It's filling, if not food...
  20. Easy to make...add an egg on top & it's Croque Madame.
  21. I've found a recurring theme in French cuisine, especially in the Normandy area: Lots of butter, lots of cheese! I like it. Mr. Maillard makes his appearance: A little flour added to butter/pan drippings for roux: Stir in some milk for a nice Bechamel: I find my white sauce is suitable for my tastes at about 180F A little freshly-cracked black pepper... Open up...
  22. A reverse-stripper: They pay me to put my clothes back on. Also, wtf is a 'dreram'?
  23. Maybe if you click on it or a link to ostensibly use it as a badge...
