I don’t know why but we’ve been avoiding seed oils for years and we almost always use olive oil or butter. Good to know there’s a legit reason for it.
We recently banned Canola oil from the house because we saw a “how it’s made” episode and found out how much bleaching and other processing it goes through. No thanks.
Don’t worry, all your olive oil is counterfeit anyway. 😛
All your olive oils are belong to us.

The U.S. oil industry is on an upswing, buoyed by the surge in gasoline prices to a record $4.25 a gallon Wednesday, sky-high crude oil prices and even some begrudging praise from President Joe Biden as he announced a ban on Russian energy imports.
But the rally-around-the-rig sentiment in the U.S. from the energy crisis caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine may not last long, and experts say the consumer pain from the fuel price spike could hasten the shift away from oil in the U.S. and toward cleaner energy sources.
The price at the pump, which the American Automobile Association says has leaped 75 cents per gallon in the past month because of the invasion of Ukraine, is likely to push more people to consider electric vehicles, which are slowly gaining market momentum as carmakers roll out new models. And that gasoline price rise, led by the rally in crude prices to 14-year highs, is offering some companies and policymakers a ready-made national security argument to push for more green energy projects as insulation against oil price shocks.
Or we could be realistic, and burn more coal.
IIRC the largest source of electricity in the US is natural gas, meaning moving to electric will not, in fact, shield drivers from fluctuation fossil fuel costs. Unless we also shift our electric generation to nuclear and hydro, but I don’t see much of a push for that.
Also, where the fuck are we gonna get the materials for the stupid batteries? Because the new Russia/China/India alliance is gonna control most of the sources.
Fools.
We can produce enough oil and natural gas to sustain ourselves. We can’t produce the specialized materials for batteries, and will always depend on not-so-friendly countries for that. Which of those is the stronger national security argument?
Doesn’t anyone remember the beginning of the pandemic when the manufacturing in China was shut down?
Luckily, all the tyrannical elites and Lefties scheming around the World have unknowingly shifted from the rapid fantasy energy they wanted back to fossil fuels.
There is no reason that a slow transition from oil cant happen. Russia attacking Ukraine shows that oil/fuel is still king of the battlefield. If Russia had solar tanks, the cloud cover over Ukraine would have left them out of power like some of them are out of gas.
I will be interested to see how all this plays out. So many of the shortages are due to a reliance on international trade, and while free trade does bring down prices it also makes you reliant on your trade partners. I think we are going to see a resurgence in mercantilism and autarky across the globe.
I love having discussions about trade. I am for Free Trade but that requires all trading partners agree to abide by basic trade rules. Otherwise, its some other kind of trade besides Free Trade.
While Free Trade is great, the real World has nations and tyrants that might require some strategic stockpiling of traded materials in case of war.
I would still like America to default to Free Trade most of the time and with good trading partners.

Wreck of Shackleton’s ship found
The Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust is pleased to confirm that the Endurance22 Expedition has located the wreck of Endurance, Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ship which has not been seen since it was crushed by the ice and sank in the Weddell Sea in 1915.
One hundred years after Shackleton’s death, Endurance was found at a depth of 3008 metres in the Weddell Sea, within the search area defined by the expedition team before its departure from Cape Town, and approximately four miles south of the position originally recorded by Captain Worsley.
Great story.
Here’s some good background.

Coinbase advertised heavily during the Olympics. “Start your NFT collection!” was enough to decide Coinbase was not to be taken seriously.
“The situation in Ukraine is in fact a game changer” for the oil industry, said Mark Brownstein, senior vice president at green group Environmental Defense Fund, which works with the industry to cut its greenhouse gas emissions. “It just sort of accentuates the challenge of having the global economy tied to oil and gas. If the industry was already facing a metaphysical challenge in climate change, it’s now got a second.”
A senior Biden administration official offered the same message to reporters when discussing the Russian import ban.
“The way to avoid high gas prices is to speed up, not slow down, our transition to a clean energy future,” the official said in a Tuesday call with reporters. “The reality is we can’t drill our way out of dependence on a global commodity that’s controlled in part by foreign nations and their leaders.”
Is there some innate animating quality of petrochemicals which leads world leaders to indulge in stupid pointless dick-measuring contests?
It’s not oil which created this mess. It were the politicians.
The reality is that we can’t produce enough clean energy to do much of anything. Talk about not following the science. oh well time to hang my laundry on the line after cleaning it on the washboard. How much does a Franklin stove cost?
The reality is we can’t drill our way out of dependence on a global commodity that’s controlled in part by foreign nations and their leaders
This is kinda true. However, I distinctly recall a previous Democrat administration that said “we can’t drill our way out of this” who were immediately proven wrong.
The more we produce, the less what is done by foreign nations and their leaders matters to us. Sure, the price is set globally, but there’s a big difference between the price being set globally, and needing what we are paying that price for to be produced overseas and delivered here.
William Tecumsah Sherman cut trees down and used those as a road base in soft soil.
Krugman is still a Commie!
Sorry, Krugman is not a commie or a socialist. He’s definitely in good with the Davos crowd and is willing to be their good loyal propagandist. It is important to understand the differences between the different economic political systems if you stand any chance of putting up a fight. Using socialist and communist interchangeably is a show of ignorance. Almost every government that called itself “communist” was in fact socialist using the promise of eventual communism to justify their totalitarianism with no real intention of ever fading into the night quietly. Obviously “communism” hasn’t been actually tried because it simply cannot exist. The idea in communism is that the “public” owns everything, which is childishly naïve. There’s no difference between owning and controlling. If you control it, you own it. There is no such thing as a system where there isn’t a massive disparity in power to control resources. To say that there’s “public control” of anything is to conceal the true workings of any socioeconomic system. If there’s a government, all roads lead to oligarchy since the defining characteristic of the state is to be the exception to the rules (i.e. you don’t “steal”, you “tax”. You don’t “mass murder”, you “legitimately declare war”.) The differences are of course, imaginary. A tale statists tell themselves to justify firebombing innocent children from the sky or shaking down the immigrant shop owner for protection money.
The point of this rant is that you shouldn’t confuse the people that believe in the imaginary (unicorns and communism) and the people that believe in using the state to achieve whatever aesthetic preferences they desire upon the world at the barrel of a gun or the threat of total and complete ruination for dissenters. Socialism is very much a 19th and 20th century creation that no one with any power still really believes in. What exists now and what they intend to spread everywhere is more like the Chinese model that doesn’t really have a name to accurately describe it. It has many elements that could be identified as socialist (centralized control), fascist (the lines between public and private nearly disappear), technocratic (everyone and everything is filed, cataloged and quantified by vast bureaucracy) and oligarchic (the people running it are self-selected and deeply incestuous). Whatever you want to call this is what Krugman is.
It is decidedly NOT democratic (not that democracy is a good idea anyway.) Democracy is the window dressing used to convince you that you have a say. The people that constantly decry the death of democracy are the ones most gleefully participating in the very system that works to make sure you are uninformed and impotent.
Be careful with how you throw these words around. The intermingling of these concepts is another one of the word games they use to obscure what is really happening. It’s just another form of wokism, where casually or even accidentally racist became “white supremacist” overnight. They want you to think that there’s no difference between those two things. They want you to think Krugman is a commie. If you believe that, you’re miles off the scent of what is actually happening and all you’re doing is assisting your enemy. Reject their premises from the outset.
So not completely speechless.
Good rant!
Thanks. Sorry it got a little wordy, but people saying things like “ChiComs” drives me up a wall. They are not even remotely communist and they’ve been moving away from socialism for decades. What they (and us if we’re being honest) are becoming is far more insidious, because it is far more effective and inescapable than anything ever conceived by the evil totalitarian fucks of the 20th century. If you’re not willing to take the time to understand the nuances between things, than don’t bother to have an opinion.
Its sad that you dont understand that the chinese communists control all property in china.
Just because Xi’s name is not on all property deeds doesnt mean the commies dont own all property.
willing to be their good loyal propagandist.
He used to be Enron’s propagandist when they had money. It ain’t without reason that WM has such a special scorn for him.
Communism is the end goal of Socialism. The fact that most Socialists are too stupid to get to actual Communism is not Marx’s fault.
Communism used to be the state controlling all property. The definition is changing to include:
1.a theory or system of social organization based on the holding of all property in common, actual ownership being ascribed to the community as a whole or to the state.
2. (often initial capital letter) a system of social organization in which all economic and social activity is controlled by a totalitarian state dominated by a single and self-perpetuating political party.
We now see Socialists be undermined by the flaws in their system, so they use Fascism to control people and property. As we see businesses being effectively controlled by govt interests to do their bidding.
Krugman is for planned economies and undermining moral hazard in business.
Wokeness is the negation of talent, ya feckin’ halfwit.

Yep, I had a rant about this yesterday. It’s usefulness as a get-out-of-argument-free card is about to expire when the actual shit hits the fan. The blue-check crowd will be waxing lyrical about the days where we had the time and resources to bemoan micro-aggressions and cancel culture was actually effective because we didn’t actually have anything real to worry about. The useful idiots that got on board with this crap are about to be stunned that no one with actual power accepts their phone calls anymore.
This Lyft ride to the airport is expensive. But at least I don’t have to worry about giving tips–the driver asked me to put on a mask. He’ll get 4 stars as well. This is only the second time it happened to me in 2 years.
But Biden refuted Republicans’ characterization that he had harmed U.S. energy production.
“It’s simply not true that my administration or policies are holding back domestic energy production. That’s simply not true,” he said. “Even amid the pandemic, companies in the United States pumped more oil during my first year in office than they did during my predecessor’s first year.”
Holy non sequitur, Batman!

Morgan Bazilian, professor of public policy at the Colorado School of Mines, said that while the war in Europe may be placing a halo around the oil industry at the moment, that glow will fade.
“The rallying around the flag, the build-it-in-America, the rally around the rig, freedom molecules language — that rhetoric is nonsensical,” Bazilian said in an interview. “It doesn’t have any grounding in anything.”
But high oil prices, Bazilian continued, will have a more concrete meaning for the industry.
“It certainly makes people look a lot harder at substitutions,” Bazilian said. “That hurts demand. That’s demand destruction.”
We should start with political substitutes. Maybe we could try not electing morons explicitly working to destroy the economy.
How much is a Bazilian?
I don’t know, but if you’ve ever had one, you’ll know it hurts like a mother fucker.
Twenty dollars, same as downtown.
It’s not an amount but the unit of measurement for stupid.
It’s hard to achieve demand destruction when the economy is in freefall.
In other words, when capital is being destroyed at a rapid pace, there’s no money to invest in novel industries.
That’s not stopping celebrity twitter from cheering it on from their ivory towers.
I remember a story I heard years ago (I think it was NPR’s planet money when that was still pretty good, but don’t quote me) about how the Soviets had put almost all of their shoe manufacturing into a couple of plants in one region of the country. Shoe production fell way behind nationally for various supply reasons (a fluke in an otherwise paragon of central planning). The Soviet response was not to figure out how to get enough resources to get shoes made to get them to the citizens that needed them for work, it was instead to create an elaborate propaganda campaign extolling the virtues of going shoeless (foot protection is an evil created by the bourgeois you see).
When I read or watch news from any of the corporate new sources (Pravda as I lovingly call them) I think of this story. All the energy that should be spent on trying to stop the freefall is spent on either telling you that there’s no freefall, or freefall is a good thing.
Why in the fuck does the Colorado School of Mines have a School of Public Policy?
Once they had affirmative action admissions they needed to create a program for them?
How the hell were the Ukrainians gonna get the MiGs anyway? Wouldn’t Russia just blow them out of the sky?
Seems like a dopey plan that Poland got out in front of. I wonder why they don’t trust us?
Well, it takes 3 of them to screw in a lightbulb after all,
It sounds to me like the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing. Last week Abe Blinken was saying he would be ok if Poland donated the MiGs. Then Poland said, no, we’re not going to do it. Then after a little vodka they said ok. Now the DoD is saying, hold on, wait a minute. If you’re going to send them MiGs, why announce it? Land it on a road near the border, repaint it, and let Ukraine tow it across the border with a tractor in the middle of the night.
Obligatory.

Ukrainian pilots pick up fighters and fly them to Ukraine.
Ukraine clearly doesnt need planes to put up a good defense. They need SAMs, SSMs, and AT missiles.
Ukraine having planes would make a difference but since Russia does not fully command the air either, its not a huge thing for Ukraine to not have many planes.
Russian pilots are not stupid. When Russian planes dont return to the airfield, you can only blame that on so many “mechanical failures”.

I can’t make much sense of that chart on that seed oil website.
So what is the best oil for deep frying?
Peanut or beef tallow
Peanut is way too expensive, and I don’t think beef tallow is even an option.
Peanut oil is too much for your budget?
Well, then ‘best’ is off the table.
I use it for asian cooking. Not even sure it’s “best” though.
Are you thinking of sesame oil? Peanut oil is more than canola, but not by much. A gallon is ~10 dollars.
I was thinking of peanut. You are right that it’s not that expensive if you buy it in quantity, but I haven’t seen anyone selling it quantity for a long time.
FleetFarm, Gander Mountain, Bass Pro Shop, etc., all sell peanut oil in gallon jugs
You can buy peanut oil in quantity from places like Costco Business Centres.
And for deep frying, any oil with a high smoke point will do. Done properly, deep frying should “burden” the food being fried with almost no additional fat whatsoever, so seed versus non-seed is mostly a non-issue.
Sesame oil for frying is a disaster, because its smoke point is far too low.
Oh, and if you want flavour with that peanut oil (which is quite neutral in taste), adding 2 to 5% beef tallow is good, but duck fat (same percentages) is even better.
Mind you, the best fries I ever had were in Leeuwarden city centre from a truck advertising “Belgian-style” fries, and they used horse fat. Mr. Ed for the win, yo.
It could be a supply chain, because I used to see it. Now all I see are small bottles.
Any independent butcher will have an excess of beef fat. They might even sell it cheap.

Forget the beef jerky. The hatch green chili ones are yummy.
Tillamook makes some decent ones without a bunch of sugar. Avoid the gas station brand – they are loaded with shit.
I also like Duke’s. Costco carries them and I really dig them. Much tastier imo than jerkey.
I’ve got some of the Wal-Mart house brand in my snack closet that is actually pretty good, but if you’re doing keto, look close because a couple of the flavors have too much sugar.

These are pretty good too.
Try some nuts instead, cheaper and tastier.
The best jerky I’ve ever had was home-made.
Me too. I’ll be in my bunk.
If you have a local deer/elk processor or butcher, they might make and sell their own jerky or sticks. Those local ones are often the best and freshest.
A jet-assisted Waco. What’ll they think of next? I hope those wings are screwed on securely.
It is L-O-U-D in real life.
I have a friend who used to fly airshows–he said that thing is really dangerous to take off because even at minimum thrust, the jet wants to push the tail over the nose because the thrust has to be vectored downward to clear the tail. They don’t light the jet until well into the roll so there is enough airflow of the tail to allow the elevator to counteract the moment from the jet.

Ironically the prosperous consumerist society has totally cut off the urbanites from the workings of the supply chain so now they are more in favor of central planning than ever. Oh and modern urban living is filled with central planning rather than Hayekian spontaneous order. Whoops.
https://brownstone.org/articles/patricians-vs-plebeians-the-realignment/
This Jeff Tucker article identifies a pretty serious problem: turns out the cosmopolitan educated wealthy tech-friendly urban elites are in fact totalitarians. This is a problem because it was assumed those people would be libertarians but they aren’t. This is a situation that libertarians did not expect to find themselves in.
Why did this happen? Probably because the Davos set has full power and are therefore quite willing to use that power. Hence why classical liberalism out of date.
Businesses were able to ditch Moral Hazard. This allowed businesses to be reckless with their money and other people’s money, like the government. All business has to do now is suck up to Democrats and RINOs and make sure they dont allow non-Lefties to have jobs. In return, businesses get bailouts and welfare from Democrats and RINOs.
Luckily, there are some black and white reasons why things went really bad in America recently. Getting Americans to do something about them is a different story.

Rothbard wrote this in the 1965:
https://mises.org/library/left-right-and-prospects-liberty-0/html/c/77
Sure seems like he thought that an increasingly diverse urban America was going to be libertarian…
Sure does.
Rothbard is completely correct on the ruling case though…
Seems Rothbard didn’t realize in 1965 that the ruling caste would embrace the death of WASP small-town America. He realized it before he died though judging by his complaints about PC.
JFC, Rothbard wrote – as though that is dispositive? WM — why the hell didn’t you get an abortion?
Sorry my remark about classicalnluberalism being out if date was meant to be referring to the mindset of the WEF and this Brownstone institute article i linked to yesterday:
https://brownstone.org/articles/a-liberal-moment-but-which-one/
Funny how you ignore Spengler and his ilk from the last century. We’ve been told this before.
Who assumed they would be libertarians? That makes no sense. They’re technocrats, and technocrats always have a tendency towards authoritarianism.

Holy crap! Tucker almost seems like he’s stumbled upon the truth! The logical corollary to this, of course is that the pro-market, pro-liberty side of the argument isn’t going to be so fond of touting the woke slogans that have been the catechism of the entrenched elites, a catechism Tucker gave more than his share of support to. And maybe, just maybe, the rough edges of the great unwashed is preferable to the polished fascism of progressive elites. That might be a bridge too far for Tucker, quite yet. But, it’s good to see him at least make a baby step.
Tucker’s mistake is that he foolishly thought that the Deep State and Big Tech could be trusted because they didn’t like Trump and since he didn’t like Trump either they would never purge him if he spoke out of line since he is a Good Guy. Then Covid happened and he realized that Big Tech and the Deep State are perfectly willing to purge him since his anti-lockdown stance makes him a Bad Guy…
Another problem is the elites embraced neoliberalism in the 1990s for political expediency and the cosmo set assumed this was a permanent trend but it turns out that said elites are perfectly willing to embrace statism for political expediency too…
Except of course Michael Young had already coined “meritocracy” to describe this class and Burnham wrote about the managerial elite before Rothbard was out of high school.
Thomas Massie just posted:
He explained himself clearly and concisely but he’s still gonna get called Pro-Putin for voting against the oil sanctions.
Massie is full of shit. Massie can vote to NOT buy oil from Russia AND vote to not buy oil from Iran AND vote to restart American fracking.
Buying oil from Russia is retarded. Russia is clearly a threat to US security, so we shouldnt fund our defacto enemy.
Buying oil from Iran for same reason.
Buy oil from Saudi Arabia. Then when Democrats lose the House, Senate, and WH America FRACKS!
He can only vote on bills that are up for voting. I don’t believe the one on the floor now specifies anything about fracking.
Massie is absolutely right about the left wanting to use this to force the green agenda on us all.
Of course the Lefties are trying to shrink the supply of oil to raise the price. And buying oil from russia while they attack ukraine is morally wrong.
Ypu can fuck over Lefties for trying rigs the oil price AND fuck over Russians for being tyrannical assholes for invading innocent ukraine.
It’s also not like you can just replace energy sources overnight. Fracking does not instantly replace oil. They are two entirely separate matters. BTW, your own government is responsible for almost every invasion of a sovereign nation that’s happened so far this century. Guess what? They did it entirely for their own interests while enriching themselves with both money and power while slaughtering the innocents (roughly 500k in Syria alone, but for some reason we STILL haven’t gotten Assad?) and robbing you blind to pay for it. Where’s your boycott of everything American for such aggression?
This insane reaction to everything Russian, right down to cat shows is completely unhinged and an extension of TDS. You’re playing right into the hands of your enemies….again LC. Like everything in politics, sanctions and boycotts do practically nothing to harm “leaders” who’s resources are always easily replenished by turning a gun on their own citizens. What you will do is end up completely fucking over all the Russian poor citizens that want nothing to do with this or any other aggression and have exactly the same power to stop this lunatic that you do – which is to say zero. Bringing all the worlds citizens to the brink of nuclear annihilation while our psychopathic leaders play a life-sized game of Risk is beyond stupid. A quick reminder that all the people championing our brush with the apocalypse are exactly the same people that have spent the last 5 years calling you an insurrectionist, racist traitor. If you hate the globalists as you say you do, you’ll recognize that the real enemy, as always is the state. Their state and our state. The people that pretend they have the right to decide who lives and who dies.
Give the whole blame America a rest. America is the best nation on Earth for a multitude of reasons. As for attacking other nations like Russia has attacked ukraine without casus belli…America has never done that. Ever. Even russias last self defense war where the Nazis attacked the USSR, they had the molotov-ribbentropp pact where they stole land from finland, estonia, latvia, lithuania, poland, romania.
America might have flimsy casus belli to use military action but its always there. In the 21st century…
Afghanistan- protecting Al Qaeda who attacked America on 9/11
Iraq- saddam tried to assassinate a US president. Iraqis killed us soldiers.
Syria- syrian forces and syrian support ISIL forces attacked Us soldiers in Iraq.
Dont attack americans and american property is the lesson here. America has never attacked Switzerland because the swiss have never attacked America.
You cant let Lefties off the hook in America and you cant let Russians who support Putin tyranny off the hook either.
If russia wants to attack America over helping ukrainians defend themselves from russian tyranny, then fuck russia. They will get what they deserve.
Russia is all the way wrong here and if they want pick a fight with America, they will lose. I know some of you dont know history well. The imperial japanese tried to blame America for cutting off AMERICAN OIL to Japan as being some casus belli for war. Its not and never has been a good reason for war. Imperial japan had attacked china and needed american oil to continue its war. America choosing to not sell its oil is not america attacking japan.
Same with russia saying its ukraines fault for russia having to murder innocent ukrainians. Ukraine never attacked Russia. Tyrants lie and blame others for their aggression without casus belli.
Calm your tits LC, whether we buy Russian petroleum is beside the point – Europe is the market that matters.
That is a lucid, intelligent, well thought out objection…Overruled.

The most annoying thing about that Seed Oil link is that they use the term PUFA all over it without prominently stating what the acronym stands for. I’m not saying that the anti-seed-oil hypothesis is wrong (I just heard about it here) but I really with they’d stop trying to tell me consuming PUFA is bad without telling me what it is.
In my cooking I already use olive oil and butter as my primary fats (sometimes lard or bacon grease too)– I almost never use canola or other seed oils except when deep frying and I’m going to re-think that, once I figure out WTF PUFA is, and why it’s bad, ‘m’kay?
Poly Unsaturated FAt?
Poly Unsaturated Fatty Acids.
Which you need, but not nearly in the amounts that the Standard American Diet (SAD) provides. Also the processing of those oils creates all kinds of nasties.
Minimize or eliminate. Buy an air fryer.
My boss’s boss is an old Army guy. He sends out a weekly status report FILLED with acronyms. His quarterly presentations are full of acronyms. I have no idea what’s going on.
I don’t mind acronyms, but you have to define them somewhere.
My policy is to define the acronym the first time it is used unless it is known to me that the intended audience commonly uses it for the same purpose.
Overuse of acronyms makes things feel “cult-y” to me.
Like UnCivilServant (UCS) below, I feel it is best practice to define the acronym at the first use of it in every text that uses it.
what does “db” stand for?
It’s a tenth of a Bell.
That would be a decibell.
Actually, dB (not db) is the short version of decibel (not decibell). /pedant mode off
Which is 1/10 of a Bel, not a Bell. Or 1/10 of a bel.
/also pedant
Lol.

I like him more every day.
I find my love for him very confusing.
Although the agony that my True Bleever sister and BIL must go through when they read his tweets on the screens of their Teslas does give me a lot of joy!

The Navy brass that ordered that should be canned. If it was civilian DoD leadership, then expose them for literally pulling a ship out of underway rotation for political reasons.
I’ve already heard about it. But I thought it was the Bee.

The FDA is coming for the independent pharmacies by removing their revenue streams.

This is about control over your medical treatment options. They’re angry that people didn’t do what they were told during COVID and chose to treat with ivermectin or HCQ. The chain pharmacies helped them force vaccines into the market and shut down the off-label options.
When I was in my Kroger earlier, the PA music and ads were in the background. They’re pushing 500 fuel points ($0.50/gallon) to people that come in to get the jab.
Smells of desperation.
The chain pharmacies helped them force vaccines into the market and shut down the off-label options.
The chain pharmacies also directed people to Moderna and Pfizer. Maybe they had J&J earlier, but by the time I capitulated, all of the chain stores had decided to block J&J. I ended up driving an hour away to a community health clinic that just a got a shipment in stock. It was the kind of place with “no narcotics and benzos prescribed” plastered all over the doors and windows.
I was amazed I was able to get a J&J shot the day after I first looked into it (the day Biden announced the unconstitutional mandate).
Alright, I just submitted a post. The only thing I can think of is, some of the images might need resizing (which I have no clue how to do). Feel free to fill your content gaps with some R C, at your convenience.
Thanks, RC. I’ll take a look at it tomorrow.
Good job with Joemala. I actually wondered if SF wrote it.
Sherman lived off of the country? If by that you mean he burned farms and stole all of the livestock and grains, then yeah, he lived off of the country.
Even as a Northerner that was my first thought about Sherman as well.
I kind of assumed that was the definition of living off the country during a war.
Sherman, by convincing many Southerners that the war was lost, saved more lives than he took. Lee’s army in Virginia was severely reduced by deserters heading back to Georgia and South Carolina to look after their families and farms blighted by Sherman’s bummers.
Works here too.

Tonga was pursuing the same policy, but they’ve been getting a lot of cases since the volcano blew up. It was probably brought in by aid workers from Australia and New Zealand. No reported deaths yet though.

Fluffer kerfluffle
White House press secretary Jen Psaki began Wednesday’s briefing by taking questions from reporters sitting behind the first row, an unusual step that comes shortly after griping among some reporters about who gets to ask questions and for how long.
“I heard there was a little kerfuffle in here after the briefing yesterday,” Psaki said with a slight smirk before opening the briefing room for questions. “What we’re going to do today is we’re going to start with the third and fourth row and fifth and sixth row, get more people’s questions answered.”
Psaki said the White House is “always happy to get more questions answered from here.”
——-
The press secretary’s comments come two days after an argument broke out among reporters at Tuesday’s briefing about how quickly the session ended and who got to ask questions.
Some reporters voiced displeasure with how quickly a wire reporter seated in the front of the room had decided to end the briefing.
Unruly whining children.

Color me less than impressed. 10 year veteran, only a Spec4, no NCOES, highest personal achievement is an AAM (x2).. I was a dirtbag and I did as well as that but i wasn’t in for 10 years. Which itself is an interesting point to leave.
Why is a 29th ID patch(?) on the front there? I don’t think I’ve seen that before
I thought it was a Yin-Yang thing to display her ethnicity ? I dunno either.
It’s result of dumping the green Army Service Uniform. Gotta have those combat patches on display.
If she was active duty, then it was probably her aviation unit was attached as a subordinate. Or she was an augmentee.
