He gets shit for drone strikes (which he increased but didn't start) that had civilian casualties, but no mentions that everyone prior just used larger dumb bombs that had a lot more civilian casualties. Everyone just says "Look at how many drone strikes under Obama!" Here's the estimated number of middle eastern civilian deaths since 2001:
Yeah, if you read the article linked above, it was originally marketed to steel workers as a replacement for beer when on the job. Originally Iron Brew. But the ingredients are a closely guarded trade secret. I'll have to see if I can find some to taste.
I would love to try their sarsaparilla! I haven't seen it at the regular grocery store, but there's a world market close by that might have it. I'm going to look.
Looks like there's a version of it that is a caffeine drink. But yeah, I'm pretty curious about what it tastes like. Unsweetened and originally a replacement for beer, so I'm going to guess it's nothing like a conventional soda.
I'm in the US (California) and can often get Bundaberg in the grocery store here. I do like their ginger beer. Their root beer is good, but a little too heavy on the licorice for me.
Thanks, I appreciate that. I'm not really enjoying 2025 so far (I'll just mention that I'm pretty far left leaning as well, so you can understand that country/world events are stressful).
We had planned on selling our house in CA and moving to WA. Now my wife has gone to NM to live with our son, and I'm getting ready to sell the CA house so we can each buy one. I've decided to stay in the same area of CA (where I grew up, where all my friends are), which means my house will be a small condo since prices here are super high. So that's adding to the stress, but compared to the marriage ending thing it feels more minor.
I know things will settle out, but it's been hard to take.
I'm 62. I retired in January. In February, my 30-year marriage ended. I'm living alone for the first time in decades, and I never really did it very long before (a few years in my late 20s. It's very strange. at this age.
Maybe it depends on climate, but bread left out where I am gets moldy way before it gets stale. The best solution is to keep it in the freezer (in a bag, and any of those methods but CE would probably be fine). Weeks later, the bread is still soft and send fresh. Bread thaws unbelievably fast. If I'm making a sandwich, I take two slices out and put them on a plate separated. Usually by the time I've got the other ingredients ready to go, the bread is thawed. If you're toasting the bread, it can go straight from freezer to toaster. If you're making sandwiches to take to work or school, you can just make them on the frozen bread.
Oh, okay, silly me. Don't believe I've seen it.
