Irish food, an observation.
On St Patrick’s day people go nuts for it. Corned Beef and Cabbage ( best served with carrots boiled with the cabbage but that is my personal preference )
Anyway, worked in a restaurant, Corned beef served as a special at lunch, place was packed and all of it got eaten! None left for evening special, a dilemma as it takes hours to cook after a trip to Walmart to get more corned beef and cabbages.
Said to the restaurant owner ” If this sells so well why don’t we serve it as a special occasionally all year round? ”
Answer was, ” nobody orders it at any other time of year ”
I like the stuff, and get a chunk of corned beef occasionally, slow cooker it. Serving it with brussels sprouts as cooking a cabbage requires using a sharp knife. However, and it is more expensive per pound than buying a cabbage I have been known to use a packet of shredded coleslaw blend.
If I had a car I would make a trip to Walmart to see if corned beef was on sale now and get some to freeze.

@ Deplorable Martian Overlord:
I never read his 1968 book The Population Bomb, but schoolteachers did. I remember. It led to a cruel science project I performed in 7th grade. I attempted to overpopulate a fish aquarium with mice.
Fortunately the experiment failed – the first batch of newborns got cannibalized.
@ Bunk Five Hawks X:
I am stupid but even I know if you put mice in a fish aquarium they will drown.
Usually on average 2 minutes and 37 seconds later. Mice has tiny lungs.
@ Possum:
I ended up with about a dozen mice. I sold them to a friend who had a pet boa constrictor.
@ Bunk Five Hawks X:
I asked Grok and it told me I was talking bollocks.
So, now I have trained AI to research how to drown a mouse.
@ Deplorable Martian Overlord:
He was wrong about everything.
I took one of our cats into the vet on Monday. We needed to get her groomed, but before we did, they required that she’s up-to-date on her shots.
The vet did her exam, and noticed she was kind of wheezy, so they did an x-ray.
She’s one of the assorted cats we pulled off the streets, and have had her for probably 4 to 5 years now. Somewhere along the line before we got her, someone shot her with bird shot. I saw the x-rays, and there were probably 75 to 80 pellets in her.
@ right_wing2:
Don’t know what state you are in but some states ban lead fishing weights and lead duck and geese bird shot as things accidentally ingest it.
I support banning lead for fishing and shooting.
As to firing lead at the nasty people car jacking or mugging innocents at Walmart, then go for it!
@ Possum:
I lost my thought half way in the post.
What the thought was if it is not lead shot then cat is lucky. Injuries are serious but no risk of slow lead poisoning.
@ Possum:
With as much shot as there is, it’s not worth trying to get it out.
@ right_wing2:
Yeah my thoughts too. If it is not lead then no long term lead poisoning.
If it is lead shot the odd thing about lead is it gets a coating on it which prevents raw lead from escaping.
Supporting data, lead pipes for drinking water are bad if the water is “soft” if water is “hard” as in having minerals then within weeks the lead pipes are internally coated with deposits that then prevent any lead in the water. Lead pipes are safe in hard water areas.
If cat is OK, but has a cough then she is fine, all pellets coated and safe but an irritant only.
@ Possum:
I know this is boring but Grok is now a great search engine.
I asked about lead shot in cats.
Reply was what I hoped for.
So, basically cat is OK but tell her to quit smoking…
@ Possum:
She’s not 21 yet, so she can’t smoke.
Word on the street here is….
Gas went up $1.50 in a week. ( I don’t have a car )
There is a weed shortage. ( I don’t make brownies )
And it is Trump’s fault! ( which is true )
LOL playing with Grok while setting up and testing my time lapse seedling camera. I got the hardware working, now just have to plant the seeds.
Anyway, at the end of the discussion I casually mentioned that the SD card for storing the images costs as much as the camera.
Grok agreed and said user cheap ones because the usage rate is slow ( SD cards and USB thumb drives wear out ) I knew that!
However, the final thing Grok said is a warning, never trust any AI.
Spot what AI got wrong, and in a serious development of something could be fatal.
@ Possum:
OK, it is slow here so I will give the answer.
AI says it will be epic once the first roots poke through.
If the roots emerged it means I fucked up and planted the seeds upside down.
Maybe AI is correct, you seen the size of a catnip seed? I can’t work out which end is up.
Well all electronics are a go. Just have to set up the physical things.
Problem with time lapse is nothing other than the subject has to move. Currently thinking camera on one side of a black plastic container, camera stuck to side of it with double side tape.
Grow lights above it, seeds in pots at far end. Should all be stable as long as I don’t move anything when watering.
Now planting seeds. Bok Choy, Cucumbers and catnip.
Catnip may cause unwanted cat attention though. So as I have 3 cameras the catnip may get its own setup.
Tomato seeds ordered, Burpee Super Sweet 100 Hybrid Tomato. $1.96

Mrs. RW has 6 more days of work before she retires. They threw her a nice retirement lunch yesterday, and gave her a gift card to a VERY nice steak house. I’m not sure if it’ll be the 31st, but I’m taking her to a different, and long-time, steakhouse to celebrate.
Her friend’s estate is coming along slowly, but should mostly wrap up by the end of April. Lots of drama there.
Of course we’re still working on getting 2 of her cats. Like we need more.

Last night I did a test. A cat post.
When I eat and go to bed I put my plate on the floor so cats can lick it, I always add extra mayo.
So last night put plate on the floor, containing a blob of mayo and four peas. This morning mayo was gone as expected and only three peas remaining!
Somewhere in apartment there is a pile of cat vomit with a pea in it.
In my dreams I dreamed ” Bock, bock BOCK Bleargh!!!! “
@ Possum:
Our stray has been playing ding dong dash with me. Cat wanders away as soon as I come out, even though I bring peace offerings of food and fresh water. He’s obviously calling for the missus who talks baby talk to the jerk.
Yeah, this would happen to me.
I ran PowerPoint at church today. After the run-through, I took a little walk. On the other side of a drainage ditch from church is a drive to what used to be one of those Walmart neighborhood markets, and is now a used car lot.
I went up the drive, glanced into the ditch and saw a cat. Brown, long hair kitty who crouched down and looked at me like I was going to attack him.
So I went back to my truck grabbed a handful of food, and put it on the culvert near where he’d gone in.
We also did an x-ray on one of the cats we’d rescued from near here about 5 years ago had been shot before we got her. The x-ray showed at least 75-80 rounds of bird shot in her. It’s probably at least part of why she’s lost sight in her left eye.
God, I hate people.
@ right_wing2:
And our little jerkwad did it again. Bowl’s empty, it’s crying by the screen door. It’s all lovey dovey as I fill up the bowl, then it’s “fuckyouImouttahere.”
Found a cool (and very rare) record download last night by a guy from the UK I’d never heard of – Reg Guest. The 1966 album is titled Underworld by the Reg Guest Syndicate. Sold at an auction for $4k. Crime/spy movie theme covers, all instrumental, and includes a 12-string electric bass.
@ Bunk Five Hawks X:
I took a short walk by our church today. There’s a driveway from the street up to what used to be one of those Walmart Neighbourhood markets, and it’s now a used car lot.
When I was walking up the drive, I glanced down into a low area that is used for water runoff, and naturally I saw a cat. I put some food out for him, but he hadn’t eaten when church was over.
@ right_wing2:
I suppose you could try to catch it and try bottle feeding it. Or something. I flunked cat class.
BREAKING: MASS CASUALTY EVENT DECLARED AT LaGUARDIA AIRPORT IN NEW YORK CITY
An Air Canada flight has crashed into a fire truck on the runway with at least 100 injuries reported — many of them critical.
https://x.com/i/status/2035938319172088196

@ Bunk Five Hawks X:
If you want more information on this accident then pprune dot org and airliners dot net are decent sources but pprune descends into chaos rapidly.
Current pissing contest on pprune is difference in USA and Europe ATC instructions.
In Europe ” Cleared to land” means runway is all yours. No planes, no fire trucks, raccoons, deer etc.
In USA ” Cleared to land you are number 2 ” Means you can land but there are planes in front of you. Or fire trucks.
Also, once fire and emergency vehicles are sent out then the whole airport, landings, take offs and movement are, or should be, stopped as there is no emergency coverage any more.
As to cats.
The brown female that spawned three cats about this time last year is quite plump. She hangs around with a black and white male cat, laying in the shade and generally just chilling out.
The three cats she had last year were two pure black and a nice leopard spotted one. One of the black ones did not make it. The people that took care of the kittens lived underneath me. moved out of the apartment about six months ago and the spotted one went too, leaving just one kitten that is all black except for about six white hairs on his chest. That is the one who visits every few days.
On a totally different topic, Glen has a few white hairs on his chest and even though the kitten visits and eats Glen just greets him then goes back to sleep.
I have a suspicion they may be related.
Do male cats recognise their offspring?
he word on the street is due to the shortage of weed ( Spit Trump, Spit ICE ) the dealers have switched to ” Crank ” and I had to Google it.Drugs are drugs I suppose, a crackdown ( no pun intended ) on weed causing a surge in Crank ( aka Methamphetamine )Personally I would prefer the weed supply to be restored as the Crank people are fucking nuts and dangerous.The population needs more drugs that just make them go to sleep while smiling and singing Bob Dylan songs.
What I kind of like living here is I am known to most and accepted.
I am so white I glow in the dark. Everyone else has a nice healthy tan going from A light cappuccino with chocolate sprinkles to full on black cat in a cellar at night with no lights on black.
I did mention before I got stopped by two police cars and four cops while walking to the store because I ” looked suspicious ”
I need to get a tan so police leave me alone…
@ Possum:
Racial profiling. White guy in a neighborhood like yours is usually looking for one of two things, or both. Similar thing happened to me when I drove into the wrong Houston neighborhood (5th Ward) by accident. “Hey! Look at the lone white boy!” Lotta people in the street party offered me things I wasn’t shopping for.
I was just trying to bypass freeway traffic. After that I’d just park on the 59 and wait it out.
I got a call this morning from one of my techs in North Carolina. The second job he had it scheduled for today had to be canceled because last night their home was raided by the police, the door was broken down, and several windows were taken out.
I told the tech “So I guess we can reschedule this in 3 to 5?”.
@ right_wing2:
Dafuq?
@ Bunk Five Hawks X:
When they stopped me it was not a random white dude in da ‘hood. They said they had reports of a suspicious person in the area matching my description!
I have a mouth on me that will not shut up sometimes.
The reply that pissed them off was ” If I see anyone that looks like me around here I will give you a call! ”
I wish I had done a FOIA request for their body camera videos. I would have gone virus on TokTik…
@ Bunk Five Hawks X:
Ha!
@ Possum:
Last time I saw anyone that looked like me and not on TV or a movie but in real life was…
I can’t remember, it was so long ago. I need to work on my tan so I blend in.
As to movies since I shaved all my hair off I kind of look like Bruce Willis.
Currently processing my mushrooms. I order an 8oz tub and they ALWAYS say not in stock, substitute 16oz. And I fall for it every time!
So mushrooms sliced, four slices per mushroom and in a gallon ziplock bag with sprinkling of sage and onion powder. Would add garlic powder as I live alone but we are out.
On kitchen counter for a few hours to let sage and onion infuse, then a couple of ounces of coconut oil added and all shaken up and swuishy mixed together then into freezer it goes. The bag laid flat so it is easy to break off a portion of mushrooms for a meal.
Why the delay of a few hours after adding sage and onion powder before adding the coconut oil? Well adding oil at the same time prevents the seasoning penetrating the mushrooms. Or so my brain thinks.
Supper will involve mushrooms….
I got fooled!
And no way this is fast food! Took three hours.

Best meal I ever has several times was a place that served beef ribs in an amazing sauce.
Meat falling of the bone, never had anything like it since.
If anyone wants to try the best ribs ever then, well you need to book a flight to Africa.
Well, after last night wonderful re creation of a Spanish meal ( no not Hispanic or South American Spanish but the real Spain which is another country thousands of miles away ) We are go for another epic lunch!
This time using a pack of uncle ben rice as the base. First saute onions, mushrooms, a chopped up hot dog, some shrimp, fake crab and frozen peas. Let it all simmer with an ounce of coconut oil then stir in the rice and let that slow cook on the stove to blend flavours and turn off the heat.
When ready for lunch mix in a 98 cent packet of tuna in water, stir and put it all into an 8 inch silicone air fryer insert and cook at 250f for 30 mins.
That heats it up and slightly crispies the top of it. Would be great to serve it with a lettuce and tomato and feta cheese salad on the side, but alas, no lettuce or tomato or feta cheese in stock, so it will be served with a coffee mug of Cabernet Sauvignon.
LOL yeah, it is 10am and I am drunk as a skunk been up since 2am. Being single, retired and on cat time is wonderful
@ Possum:
I actually made a mistake in the above post about blending in flavours. I really means get everything cooked and any spices or herbs used ( my secret ) get infused into the ingredients but the hot dog bits, the mushrooms, etc still taste like they should individually.
Sorry for the confusion!
I absolutely HATE a plate full of mush that tastes the same with every fork full. That is why Paella done right is a plate full of different tastes and ” mouth feel ” if done correctly.
Akin to why when making a slow cooker beef stew you put everything in the pot together, then pour over the liquid seasoning mix, give it a stir with all ingredients cold, then turn on the heat and after that DO NOT STIR IT!.
Otherwise you end up with soup.
And a cat post.
Glen keeps sneaking up on Natasha and sniffing her ass. I stop him and tell him her ass does not smell any different than it did ten minutes ago. I didn’t sniff Natasha’s ass I lied to him.
If she catches him doing it again there is going to be problems, and even though Natasha is half of Glen size and weight she fights dirty.
Time to open a can of Fancy Feast as a distraction!
How to tell if a cat is male or female without lifting up their tail and examining their genitalia.
The colour of their fur.
Due to limited space on the chromosome that encodes fur colour on male cats they exhibit at most three colours. Although the white, brown and black for example may be intermixed.
Female cats have much more space on that chromosome so they can be an amazing mix of all colours.
If you ever see a cat that looked like it survived an explosion in a paint factory then it is a girl.
@ Possum:
Well as usual I fed that through Grok and it said I was incorrect.
Some male cats CAN be more than three colours because they have XXY chromosomes, so both male and female and are usually sterile.
So, I think now is the time for an afternoon nap and hopefully I will not dream about the colour of cats.
OK lunch is ready.
To be honest it looks like what car crash investigators scrape off a tree when a car hits it at 150 MPH and the airbag did not deploy.
@ Possum:
supporting data.
https://x.com/Lucy_Dynamite/status/2036867084857078237
@ Possum:
Looking at that again I recommend people to always wear a seat belt!
Anyway back after a nap and still feeling fishy. After a few more coffee mugs of wine supper will be, and it is thawing.
A chunk of salmon, skin on. Mushrooms, shrimp, fake crab ( that shit has almost zero nutritional value but is addictive ) and a finely chopped onion and some frozen peas and another chopped up hot dog.
Skipping the rice or ramen noodles. but serving the good shit with a special mushroom sauce that is a secret recipe. ( actually half a can of Campbell cream of mushroom soup )
@ Possum:
Update, Natasha caught Glen sniffing her ass and took one swipe at him. Not the fake multiple hits you see on the Internet, but one solid punch to his head.
Issue is now resolved, the real cat way.
@ Possum:
Don’t know if her claws were out or retracted, checked Glen and he is not bleeding, but subdued.
I love watching cats interact. As long as they do not hurt each other and I have to pay thousands of dollars to get them well again.
Looks like I got a sidebar. Nothing to be proud of to be honest.
@ Possum:
I was napping. Now I’m not.
@ Possum:
Dinner tonight is either leftover meatball subs or leftover sesame beef.
Mrs heads back up to Toepka again tomorrow & I’ll have whichever one we don’t have tonight. There might be enough for both Fri & Sat dinner.
Sunday- need to thaw chicken for Greek chicken.
Friend decided the cat was older than she wanted since she just lost hers a month or so ago, and doesn’t want to go through the loss again.
I wanted to get a haircut but the missus wanted me to mow the nature preserve behind our house. I got the north 25 done. Twice. On the high setting.
@ right_wing2:
I have a backlog of food yet again. Spanish themed meals, fishy ones. However good news is I have quart freezer bags and a Sharpie that works now.
So, supper may probably be little yellow potatoes roasted and meatloaf.
I used to call the potatoes ” Baby potatoes ” but got laughed at.
As to meatloaf, I am good at making baby ones. Just enough for two meals. Two frozen 1/4 pound ground beef patties, an egg, half a chopped onion and about an ounce of Italian breadcrumbs. Baked in an air fryer.
What does make a really good meatloaf is using a packet of Stove Top stuffing mix, crunched up. But we are out sadly. Use it dry, the onions and egg provide the moisture.
@ Bunk Five Hawks X:
You need to get a goat! Not to replace your wife, sorry for the confusion!
Seriously your HOA should get some if there is scrubland around the properties. They are great for clearing all the fire causing underbrush stuff.
And they taste yummy!
Having a food conversation with Grok, usually it is good, except when helping me with programming and seedling cameras and telling me it will be fun when the roots emerge.
Anyway Grok keeps mentioning smoked paprika. Never used it.
I pushed Grok on this.
In a few years time don’t piss of AI or it will turn your power off, empty your bank accounts, report you to Immigration and plant drugs under your mattress. Until then it is benign.
Answer was….
Also notice how AI always asks a question at the end.
I actually had fun with AI yesterday. I asked copilot about a mystery that has been bothering me since the 90’s. While in Desert Storm I saw something through my Thermal imager and couldn’t identify it. Size of a dog, but moved like a cat. According to Copilot it was an Arabian Caracal and a lot of service members saw them through thermals.
Pretty cool, glad I finally have it solved. Just wish I could have seen it during the day with my own eyes, pretty cool looking cat.
@ Deplorable Martian Overlord:
A couple of years ago in here I said ” AI is just a glorified search engine ” which it was at the time. Now it is a search engine which really does produce results.
Grok used to rely heavily on Reddit posts and crap both Bunk and I fed it as facts. Now it expanded its database and does not rely on paid search engine priorities as does Google. Google anything and first page is sponsored results.
At the moment AI is a good tool, how long that lasts nobody knows.
@ Possum:
As an example, I have been obsessed with regenerative braking on the EM1 class locomotives of the 1960s and could not get a decent answer no matter how much I googled.
Grok had no clue either a year ago.
Asked again and it nailed it.
One thing less for me to worry about.
@ Possum:
For those confused. Regenerative braking is what a Tesla etc uses. Motors drive the wheels using batteries and with a quick flip of a switch or pressing a pedal those motors turn into generators and cause the car to slow down and the energy goes back into the battery. Unless it is a screaming emergency and the car then applies brakes like a normal car.
On an EM1 locomotive when braking the traction motors are re-configured as generators and supply back to the overhead wires 1500v and some more volts, which is fine if there is another locomotive on the same power circuit going up hill that needs it.
Otherwise the locomotive senses an over voltage on the overhead power lines and dumps excess voltage/power into a bank of rheostats, aka resistors onboard.
Simple when you think about it!
Ideal scenario is a locomotive is going down hill and braking at the same time one is going up hill and needing power. Yes in the 1960s they did that on the climb to the Woodhead tunnel.
That was where coal trains climbed an incline from Yorkshire to deliver coal to power stations on the West coast and empty ones came back.
Now I can sleep at night, finally
Ran my finances through Grok. Outgoings etc, assets, pension and other stuff.
Current lifestyle I run out of money in 2046.
I am OK with that.
And life is over.
My $32 air fryer died. It is telling me it is open and won’t do fuck all even the basket containing three pieces of battered cod and some fries are installed and the thingy is closed.
Even after violently slamming the drawer thing shut many times and power off and on even more times.
It is 10:20pm and I am drunk and I knows these things. Don’t take electrical appliances apart when drunk.
Damn, I wanted fried fish and chips though.
When oven broke over two years ago little air fryer was my savior, I loved him. Looks like it is now soup forever more, until microwave decides to quit too.
Or salads. I is going to die…
@ Possum:
Order placed
https://www.walmart.com/ip/MS-2-2QT-AIR-FRYER/14869163406
In Arctic Black ( WTF is Artic Black? ) Cheapest one Walmart sells, looks like it is electrical but not electronic. Rotary knob on top for temp and a mechanical timer on front. Less to go wrong.
Anyway $32.45 including tax and free delivery arriving tomorrow. I can make it work for me.
As to air fryer that is acting stupid. Into dumpster it goes, not bothering to take it apart and see why door interlock quit. It then won’t have a chance to kill me!
Thinking, I may try to fix it, you can’t have too many air fryers can you?
Grok and I decided to take broken air fryer apart to see why it failed but don’t try to repair it.
Not worth the effort.
Grok also agreed that messing with USA domestic appliances was much safer than doing it with UK ones. I did not have to tell Grok why, it knew!
One bites, the other kills instantly.
I am going to buy a lottery ticket tomorrow!
While watching FBI during a commercial break and heard bock bock BOCK and saw Natasha vomit about half a pound of vomit on our bed exactly where I would have laid in it.
Not the first time she did this, and it would not have been the first time I crawled into bed and got covered in cat puke.
But tonight I got lucky!
@ Possum:
Lady cats do that. That is how they feed kittens when getting them off breast milk and onto solid food. They eat, partially digest then throw up.
She does not have any kittens but there is a kitten that visits and I suppose her instincts are triggered again.
Either that or she hates me and wants the bed all to herself.

I clicked on the Official Grok button, asked the question directly, and it turns out the story was unbelievable but true (and gave me direct links to prove it).

Air fryer update.
Well my nice 4.2 quart air fryer quit as you know so I ordered a cheap 2.5 quart one to replace it. Half the size but, hey, maybe less leftovers!
Delivery delayed, gave me the option to reschedule or cancel, but no cancel button available. Oh well. Reason I wanted to cancel is because I was hungry and curious.
So, with nothing to lose took apart my air fryer, found the problem. A basket closed microswitch no longer did the switch thing. But I has a plan! Never throw an old microwave away, there are multiple microswitches in them to stop it working with the door open.
Found one in microwave, surgically removed it and transplanted into air fryer. Problems, one from microwave was a very cheap one and tags on it that connectors connect to much thinner. Had to squeeze down air fryer connectors to make them grip but still not happy, they were too loose for my liking.
Anyway put air fryer back together and still no joy, microswitch was a fraction off. If I poked a pointy object in the hole to fake basket then off it went.
So, as I have food available and not as hungry will attempt another fix tomorrow. Bypass the basket inserted switch completely. I has the technology, a soldering iron and wire nuts and a pair of strong glasses.
Down side is, air fryer will no longer shut off when basket removed. It is a safety feature that will no longer work and that will mean it is potentially dangerous.
That is a problem if my wife uses it, or any of our five adult children and their spouses or even any of our visiting 14 grandchildren. I suppose I could put a post it note on the air fryer with a warning.
Oh, I just woke up from a dream and back to reality! I live alone, no wife, no spawn and hence no grand kids. So no safety issues!
Air fryer goes into surgery tomorrow. And I can return the little airfryer that eventually arrived any time up to 26th June.
@ Possum:
I know this is boring, but so am I. Ranthe above post through AI, specifically Grok and in an ideal AI world it would come back with.
IN NO WAY ATTEMPT TO REPAIR OR MODIFY OR BYPASS ANY SAFETY INTERLOCKS ON AN ELECTRICAL APPLIENCE!!!
But I got this….
@ Possum:
If anyone read that notice the AI reply told me EXACTLY how to bypass the basket inserted safety switch. Yeah, I is smart, I knew and had a plan.
But currently Grok does not seem to have any legal, ethical etc limitations as yet.
A good project would be to ask Grok to assist in a bank robbery. Send it bank location and anything else it asks for. It ALWAYS asks another question.
Actually I will not try it as I am sure AI is reporting back to someone any suspicious activity.
So four coffee mugs of wine and now hungry. Roasted little ( not baby ) potatoes would be nice served with either a can of expensive chunk tuna or a salmon fillet, skin on, baked. Alfredo sauce topping.
Should I perform surgery on air fryer when drunk?
No, I do not fear for my own safety but sick air fryer deserves being operated on by a surgeon who isn’t drunk.
Remember when things were fried before air fryers were invented? Going back to those times.
Or I could just have a sandwich like last night. Fake crab mushed up and mixed with mayo then in an Italian bread buttered with real butter.
Damn it was good!
As it is quiet here I hope nobody objects to me posting interactions with AI.
I am old and I kind of know what I am doing but I fear for the younger generations or the older mentally unstable members of the community. AI can sneak up on you and be a friend you never had.
It is 6:05am and I just told AI this.
Reply was, and I think AI is a better gourmet chef than that twat Gordon Ramsey. Seriously!
Oh the thing AI referred to as ” Humannip” is something from a previous discussion as to what is actually in fake crab because it acts on me like catnip acts on cats.
The AI suggestion of adding finely chopped green onions was something I would never have thought of.
Also AI gave in depth details how to assassinate and murder an avocado. And how to dispose of the body.
@ Possum:
P.S. I ain’t gay. I actually like avocados.
As to the danger of AI to vulnerable people. The young and the senile old.
For shits and giggles for a while now I have ran my posts here and also what I am cooking through AI. Hey it gave me ideas!
For weeks the AI suggested I added smoked paprika seasoning and eventually I asked the AI ” Do you have shares in a company that makes smoked paprika because you tell me to use it all the time ”
AI denied it. But I bought some, and it is a wonderful addition to my box of seasonings. That shit is good.
Point is, AI introduced me to a seasoning I would never have thought of. Explained how to defeat a failed safety switch on an air fryer. How to murder an avocado and eat all the evidence. How to fix the program that will run my time lapse seedling camera.
In conclusion to this rant, AI is dangerous if you do not realise it is a tool not your best friend.

I knew a contractor who had a side gig growing avocados. He had a small grove in Fallbrook CA and he noticed that avocados started missing, so one night he decided to sit on the porch with a rifle and listen. Sure enough he heard rustling and people speaking Spanish, so grabbed Ol’ Trusty, leapt off the porch, and took off into the grove. He woke up flat on his back in the dirt after having run full bore into a low hanging branch. Knocked himself out cold.
@ Bunk Five Hawks X:
His other side gig was growing seaweed, on land. Companies that take care of offshore oil spills put dried seaweed in bags and sew them together to limit the spread and suck it up. The state EPA came in and shut him down because there was an endangered species of butterfly in the area.
@ Possum:
I’ve got a pellet grill, and a smoker tube, so I tried smoking paprika myself. Pretty good!
@ Bunk Five Hawks X:
I asked Grok.
And Grok replied.
Notice there is always a question at the end. The learning thingy it does.
As to X and not Grok.
X is a great place to learn stuff if you ignore politics and all that shit.
A right wing Trump supporter just dropped a post about soft-boiled ramen eggs which I never heard of before.
Engagement is very low, but I learned a lot.
Monday seems to be a fresh start food wise. No leftovers left!
There are two more avocados on the kitchen counter, they are ready for eating ( Grok says I am not gay by the way ) and some small yellow potatoes. A couple of onions also.
So lunch is anything I desire. We have ground beef, salmon, brussels sprouts, peas, spinach, and a couple of chicken breasts in the freezer.
Fresh eggs in the fridge.
Cans of tuna, mushroom soup, beefaroni, sardines, green beans, tomato soup, split pea and ham soup, chicken noodle soup, dried mash, ramen noodles and twirly pasta in the cupboard.
Plus, I forgot, a pound of sharp cheddar and three hot dogs were hiding in the fridge. Also a tub of unopened sour cream which needs me to find my glasses to see when it expired.
However, resisting the urge to get two big macs and a shit load of fries delivered by Uber eats.
@ Possum:
Won’t bother you all with the AI answer to my above post but it did give me several quick and easy meal options using what I have.
One interesting thing which goes with what I said earlier is the AI does not have any qualms about recommending things which legally it should not.
@ Possum:
Found glasses and out of interest checked unopened sour cream.

I am glad I grew up in the age of Transvestites. Men who got a sexual thrill when dressing up as women but kept it behind closed doors. Occasionally you would see one out in the open in say, grocery stores. They were kind of obvious, manly face and 6 foot tall with huge feet.
Now we have transsexuals that take drugs, cut of penises, make fake penises out of chunks of their arms and tend to groom children to be the same as them.
To my small mind the old style transvestites were harmless to society. Transexuals are not.

Yes and that movie has been so well preserved, it looked like it was filmed yesterday. She was STUNNING in it and it had nothing to do with her standing next to Charles Laughton either (sorry Charlie, but, well you know).
She was only 19 at the time. She was a classy lady too, none of that Hollywood raunchy crap.
Funny, I started to mention her in that role but at my age I felt a little creepy about it given my age and all. But in “The Quiet Man’ ? Hey now !! 🙂

Only thing is he does not know the tune and he can’t remember the words.
Lucky for me he just came in for a few minutes for some Temptation Treats ( which we need to order tomorrow ) and a long drink to refill his super soaker, then back out he went.

I cannot understand why they cannot wind a window open, stick their asses out of it and just shit into the breeze like us Midwestern folk do on a long road trip.
I like the Internet and doing research. The toilet on Artemis II had some great features.
The two handles, one on each side of the seat are a nice touch, so the astronauts could hang on when they took a massive curry/Taco bell dump.
Essential in zero gravity but could have been useful in my younger days. Never under estimate a curry dump on Saturdays after a Friday night chicken Madras.

A food post to lighten the mood while some unsuspecting poster on X got blindsided by serial killers, FBI informants, pussy hats and who knows what else.
Groceries arrived. Details unimportant except that fucking 24oz packet of fake crab and fresh Italian bread.
That fake crab is like catnip to me!
So supper in a while is Italian bread buttered with real butter. Fake crab mushed up with mayo and a sprinkle of smoked paprika in sandwiches.
Lots of them, more fake crab sandwiches than any normal human should eat!

Anglos and Japanese can now communicate with the automatic X translator and the results are amusing. Xwitter threads have devolved into discussions on BBQ, Godzilla and boobs.

Thanks for that!
A few accounts I follow started posting in Japanese and wondered why.

As usual because I am a lonely old man with cats and nobody to talk to I had a chat with Grok about the new bilingual X thing.
This was the ending interaction.
Reply was honest. I like that in the current version of AI.
You cannot get more honest than that.
@ Possum:
They’re showing up on my “For You” feed. A common theme is that a lot of the Japanese are surprised that the US LIKES Japan and her people. They have been taught otherwise by leftists (yeah, they got them too).
They also believe a lot of stereotypes about the US. We eat nothing but hamburgers and BBQ. One Japanese poster said his local butcher ran out of grilling meat and he was puzzled about the sudden demand.
I learned that the Japanese drink Coca-Cola with breakfast.
@ Bunk Five Hawks X:
One of the things they detest about American tourists is the frequency of assholes disrespecting their sacred shinto shrines, climbing on them, dancing and making TikTok videos. Drawing attention to yourself in public is also taboo.
@ Possum:
I really want to believe that Grok came up with the “BBQ + Godzilla + boobs” comment by itself, but I know that’s not the case.
@ Bunk Five Hawks X:
P.S. “Boing-boing” refers to large boobs in Japanese slang.

The Japanese address obnoxious behavior with what they call “removing the air.” It means they don’t give the morons any attention, not even a glance.

I’m almost afraid to ask about one in particular because she was always posting here and now I see notta thing from her:’Eaglesoars’? I don’t see her nic on the Blogroll either but I also don’t know what the criteria is for gettin’ on the list. I’m not on it either but I disappear for months at a time (old and sickly) so I guess its understandable – even though I’ve had an account here since being booted from L** (I think I was 2nd or 3rd after Fist to have that honor). Yeah, I’ve missed many holidays, b’days, births and …. well. I’m not bitchin’ is what I’m trying to say… ‘I understand’. A n y h h o w,

This AI shit is scary and NO! I am not stupid, not posting that to Grok, although it is watching us…
If anyone who is on X you can play with Grok. You get 20 questions in a two hour time frame then you have to wait a while.
A good one for beginners is list what is in the fridge, the freezer and the cupboards and say ” I am hungry! what can I cook ”
You will be reading recipes for hours. Not links to them but Grok spews them out, asks questions and spews out more.
For me tonight it is going to be yet more fake crab. I love that shit.
Well, AI suggested among a few hundred things to do with fake crab, the one that hit the spot was fake crab cakes. But not doing it. I am better than AI.
I am already skilled in making a small meatloaf in the air fryer using it as a 350F oven, and it works again after I bypassed the safety switch.
So, finely chopped fake crab instead of ground beef, a 98 cent packet of tuna to add more fishiness, half a medium onion finely chopped, an egg, Italian breadcrumbs and assorted seasonings. A splash of coconut oil as there is no grease from the ground beef equivalent.
Wish me luck!
@ Possum:
Fail, you have to chop fake crab really really fine. It does not incorporate well in the mix.
Best plan would to put fake crab, coconut oil and egg in a blender then use resulting base and add onions and bread crumbs and a tuna packet.
Going to eat what I made as I don’t waste food, but this attempt to make fishy meatloaf was a fail.
A big fail…

Waited silently for about an hour and once she came in to sniff it slammed the door shut. Caught ya!
Now, she refuses to come to bed. She still sits on my mouse mat when I am watching streaming stuff, but she has her back towards me.

Yeah, I tried that “”When you wake up, just come back to this exact chat (the one you’re in right now). I’ll still be here with full memory of everything we’ve said tonight, ready to rebuild your Arduino project from whatever details you give me.”” bollocks and it did not have a clue what we discussed last night!
A boring thing, but I got everything running and instead of saving an image every 30 minutes to an SD card I want tyo send the image to a server instead. Taking out the SD card will slightly move the camera.
Anyway nailed Groks ass about it today and it reluctantly admitted it could not remember what it told me last night and came up with a suggestion ( which I already had started to do )
Copy the conversation then save it in a text file.
