    Turn the box into poop! Turn all kidnappers to poop!

    That’s a good point. Idk you would probably have to have a robust security detail. Which you can afford, or probably again twist the arm of America to provide for you at taxpayer expense. 🙂 All things are negotiable.

    You can do so much good with that power, you’d be one of the best people to exist ever in the history of mankind. You’d simply have to use that power. For good.

    Green pill would be the best power, hands down, no contest. It would be a very, well, green superpower.

    Demolition jobs all around the country, regular houses cost $4-8 per square foot. Underbid & you get every job. Old warehouses? Poo. Toxic landfills? Poo. Asbestos? Poo. Old tech waste that’s processed for valuable metals first? Poo. Forever chemicals? Not anymore, poo. Radioactive nuclear waste that costs us $6B every year according to this? Get a government contract for $5B per year for 100+ years with unlimited paid travel/room/board for you & all your family, travel to all the storage sites & turn all the nuclear waste into poo. Travel the US. Travel the world! You’re the Poo Man. Eliminating radioactive nuclear waste & creating fertilizer. Everyone would pay top dollar for your fantastic services. Getting old, sick of earth? Go to the moon, go to Mars, Mars can use lots & lots of nutrient rich poo to help terraform in the future.

    There would be almost no limit to the amount of good you could do, with poo…yes, you can use it to rob banks. If you’re fucking dumb. Or you could legally shake down & radically transform the entire world, make them pay you & your descendants like kings, and if they’re smart they’ll thank you for your services. Poo Man. All day, every day, you’d be the richest man on earth (or Mars) & arguably super super ethical, too. Win-win.






  • This has been going on basically forever. It’s false pandering. It’s technically true, a bunch of weak-wristed men sat in an office in Portland, Oregon and they “designed” this product. Then once they were done “designing” it, they sent the schematics off to China for production & ripping off of IP.

    That’s the best case scenario. If it’s as Chinese-y as you say, maybe they modified one feature of a Chinese radio, slapped a couple Bible verses on the box…voilà, it was “designed in USA”. 😆

    I am aware of, and deeply intrigued by, the three sisters method. It’s just not a commercially viable method of growing those crops; I don’t know what the harvest would look like.

    We need to grow a lot more industrial hemp, but I’m afraid that’s a bit of a pipe dream unless we change…literally everything.



  • I hate to blame the end user, the consumer, but yeah clearly at least some blame is to be put onto them. As outlined in the article.

    To trust Microsoft cloud services & make that a single point of failure is exceptionally foolish…and they were moving all this data off of multiple old drives & consolidating onto one big one. Why not copy-paste? Why did they actually cut-paste, move all that data into the cloud?

    If it was truly so “priceless”…just make another copy? Keep everything, always, until other copies are made.

    I feel bad for the guy, but come on. That was a problem they themselves created. Clouds are for rain. Assuming this person is at least 40 years old (30 years of photos & work) if not significantly older, they are more than old enough to know better, to just blindly trust cloud storage with everything.

    The pain is passing, but suicide often sends shockwaves through your family, friends, local community. The family members of a person who commits suicide are 2.58x more likely to commit suicide, themselves.

    I’m not saying it’s “never justified”, but I’d think long & hard about it. Extremely old age, geriatric issues can really suck. But so does causing pain, suffering to others.




  • I think the weird-ass names are an attempt not for the parents to be different, but a generally severely misguided desire for their kids to appear different in a “Wowee, that’s special” kinda way. Everyone else has a ‘normal’ name. But not my kid; my child is so different and special and s/he’s going places, s/he’s gonna get out of here & do important things or be a famous athlete.

    As we know, oftentimes that’s simply not the case…and it’s just a nightmare for the rest of us (and that child) to spell, say, etc. I find it incredibly frustrating, even though I know this wasn’t their choice, but their parents’. If their last name is weird shit, I politely ask for the first name. If the first name is also weird shit, I politely make a best guess phonetic whatever & move on.

    Fun fact, it’s not exactly ghetto made-up name territory, but Oprah Winfrey…isn’t Oprah. Her given name is Orpah, named after a biblical figure in the book of Ruth. Very obscure, ancient name! Nobody knew how to spell or pronounce it properly, and they started calling her Oprah instead. 🙂 Now…we’ve got Oprah.
