I’m in a tremendous amount of discomfort right now. I was on the golf course today and it was inundated with biting flies. No amount of bug spray helped. There were thousands swarms it was the worst I’ve ever seen.
My legs have welts and are swollen and red. Benadryl and calamine lotion are helping a bit but it was awful….
@thebitchisback my mom told me to grind up oatmeal and put it into a bath with baking soda. I’m so desperate I might try it. Right now the Jack and coke is helping a little…
@thebitchisback the sad part is I was having a great round despite the group in front of us having a 10 year old girl golfing with her grandma and dad. The girl and dad were in a cart the grandma was walking it was fucking ridiculous.
I got into an altercation with the dad about golf etiquette and not letting us ply through.
The grandma pulled the old “do you know who I am” fucking boomer I’m a founding member of the club I should have their membership pulled but I’m a nice guy so I’ll let it slide….for now
@thebitchisback it was the boomers that caused the fly situation imo they wanted the ponds and such to look pristine so they out some chemical in them and now no life exists around the ponds and lake. My guess is that’s why the flies are everywhere. I’ll be getting this fixed tomorrow.
Just more nonsense. Wildlife and bugs live around ponds why take away their home so the water looks artificial? Nonsense
The Russians aren't impressed with Trump's threats. One half expects the idiot president to start accusing the Russians of election interference. He may as well do so, since this is MAGA's war now. Trump owns this war now, the fucking moron. He has let Joe Biden, Tony Blinken and the other idiot, Jake Sullivan, running the last administration, off the hook. He's as senile as Biden, which makes him analogous to Biden 2.0.
Trump thinks that his base is made up of pure fools, if he does, he may be right about that. He made promises that the taraffs were his plan to abolish the income tax, as if anyone with IQ's above room temperature, would believe that. However, it seems that his tariffs are actually a way for the US to keep financing her forever wars.
Their refined Hybrid War model will involve efforts to win the “tech race”, a new Western division of labor for containing Russia in Europe, and AI-generated anti-Russian infowars.
Russia’s natural resource wealth and new role in accelerating multipolar processes incentivize the West to continue its Hybrid War on Russia even in the event of peace in Ukraine. The US’ neoconservative policymaking faction and the EU’s liberal-globalists (essentially one and the same at this point) continue to perceive Russia as an enduring rival to contain and ideally dismember. That’s why they’re expected to refine their ongoing Hybrid War on Russia in the coming future through the following three means.

White Rice is one of the things that I just couldnt give up. I found this higher protein white rice which was bred by Louisiana State University and is being grown in Louisiana for commercial sale as Parish Rice.
It's still not the healthiest choice in the world but the higher protein content reduces the glycemic index of white rice (processed high starch) from like 60-70 down to mid 40s. And put white rice back on the table from time to time for a nice treat, for me, for stir frys and red beans n rice, ettoufe, Charleston red rice and so on and so forth.

I think our #Brother printer is messing up my FAT32 flash drive. Several time I formatted it, but then after using it on this printer there would be issues, sometimes my #Debian laptop refused to mount and read, sometime #Windows failed to detect filesystem or failed to read/write files properly. But the thing to to keep it universal for Windows, #Linux, #BSD and the printer, FAT32 seems to be the only choice. I am gonna use another flash drive for now just to make sure there is no malfunction in the thumb driver itself.
Does the printer offer a way to dismount the USB before you pull it? I would guess not, because it's a printer; it's a nonzero chance an issue with the printer is causing it to keep reading the drive after the print job, while you pull the drive. Try with another USB and see if the same thing happens; if you can, try the original USB with a different printer as well.

It's important for everyone to keep spreading the message about good eating habits. Repetition is learning. And a lot of people need help unlearning the Government-Corpo Hellscape that has created the modern American diet.
Forgive them father, for they know not what they do.
The modern American diet, creates in the body the self fullfilling prophecy of obesity...and eating without satiety...leads to over eating. So in a lot of ways, it's not entirely people's fault.
Be patient and be a part of the solution, promoting the videos of the experts like Dr. Sten Ekberg on Youtube. They are teaching us how and why to eat healthy, good food choices = better health for a longer span of our lives.
every friend I've ever had that was fat, from pudging to fucking slob, has been from beer drinking too much or eating the fake breads as a constant.

I have a food forest going on my homestead. Over 30 varieties of fruits. Vegetable and herb garden. Free Range chickens. Deer from the adjacent forest. Fish and seafood from the local waters. I seeded the forest with Lion's Mane mushrooms recently.
I want to add a minature dairy cow and start producing my own butter and cheeses.
as long as it works for you stick with it. Unless you are pretty rich you're not going to escape the goy slop to some magnitude. It's just impossible.
I got a jar of this shit a few years ago just to see if I still liked it as much as I did when I was a kid. The jelly was awful LMFAO it had liquefied on the top with the peanut butter oil and it was just fucking nasty. It looked like plastic vegetable oil don't and mixed with red dye on the top. Scooped like 2 in off the top and then tried the bottom . Wasn't as good as I remembered
I only do the all natural shit now. Like five ingredients and if I had the equipment I feel like I can make it myself. When I was a kid they used to sell pound jugs of Jif in a cardboard tube . Always tasted perfect. Buy the shit now in the jar and it just tastes like corn syrup and margarine
I grew up super poor, like saltine crackers and peanut butter was a staple of my life. I didn't realize until I was 30 That high fructose corn syrup basically was in everything I ever ate. Now I label check and it don't buy anything with it in it. I will straight up go without before I eat that shit. The other one was fake butter, like Country Crock or country time or Bluebonnet . I didn't know that there was such a thing as margarine being different than butter. I thought margarine was just really whipped butter.
There is an amazing undercurrent of health warriors who are battling the old regime armed with science who are making a revolution, both on the Left and the Right.
From farmers, homesteaders and heritage seed exchanges to fasting, keto and low carb, Mediterranian dieters and what has now become known as the MAHA movement pushing to reduce vaccines and mind alterning drugs given to children and banning harmful food dyes, and forever chemicals.
I want to make my own cheeses, too, but I don't want my own cow.
The problem with having your own cow is that you have to milk the cow every single day. You can't take a day off or go on a short trip. You can't get busy with work or a project and put it off. Same with nanny goats.
At least with chickens you can more or less automate their care to the point that you could leave home for a couple of days.
I found a dairy where the dairy farmer loves her cows and loves to work with them every day. She unlocks the farm store every day at 2:00P.M. and I can go pick up whatever I need and leave cash in the cash box. That works out a lot better for me than having my own animal to milk.
Yeah. I bought some high dollar milk at Earth Fare (regional Whole Foods type store) that were in the glass containers and I refill them from the plastic jugs from the store.
I've scoured thrift stores for antique glass milk bottles and I buy the gallon plastic jugs of milk and then fill up quart glass bottles. They're easier to store in the fridge and I swear the milk tastes better and lasts longer in the glass. I'm aiming for about 16 quart bottles, so that I can rotate between four to eight full of milk, four clean and ready to go, and four being cleaned/sanitized. I think I've got about ten bottles now.
That would be an interesting experiment, but I wonder if it really would have much effect since I keep the milk in the fridge and it's dark in there when the door is shut. I'd guess my milk spends about 95% of its time in complete darkness from dairy to my belly.
I bought a big bag of lids from Amazon, and I also have some of those silicone lids for the 5 gallon carboys that go on the water cooler. I figured I'd drink more water if I had a water cooler, and I was right. I'm like a cat with one of those cat fountains.
You can heat sanitize glass and silicone in the dish washer, but if there's any stuck on debris that you can't get with a bottle brush, it will usually come off with a teaspoon of oxyclean in the bottle, and fill it about half way with clean water and shake it really well, then fill it up all the way and let it sit for a little while. Then pour it out and rinse it really well.
I've got one glass carboy and several plastic ones. The plastic ones are easier to handle, but in general I'm trying to move away from plastic and back to glass, ceramic, or metal containers for everything.

Glycerol ester of rosin keeps oils in suspension, that would be for the natural flavor. I have no informed opinion of it except it's probably a hell of a lot better than the usual alternative of brominated vegetable oil which was popular in the orange sodas I liked back in the 1970s.

The US Navy vaccinated me against that, but that was about 50 years ago. I might need a booster.

But how can you make the most of them in limited areas? With a decade of experience in the tile industry, I’m here to share why they’re ideal for small spaces and how to maximize their potential.
Designing a small apartment is like solving a complex puzzle—every piece must fit seamlessly. Over the years, I’ve collaborated with interior designers, sourced tiles from various suppliers, and witnessed the transformation of compact spaces into stylish retreats. Italian ceramic tiles have consistently been my top choice for apartments. They offer a unique blend of elegance, durability, and the ability to enhance small spaces. But how can you make the most of them in limited areas? With a decade of experience in the tile industry, I’m here to share why they’re ideal for small spaces and how to maximize their potential.
The Long-Lasting Appeal of Italian Ceramic Tiles
Italian ceramic tiles offer more than just visual appeal—they’re built to last. According to a study in the Journal of Architectural Engineering, these tiles can last up to 50 years with proper care. This longevity is a significant advantage for apartment dwellers, providing a durable, low-maintenance flooring solution that doesn’t require frequent replacements.
Moreover, these tiles are environmentally friendly. The 2024 UN Environmental Report highlighted their sustainable production, utilizing natural materials like clay and sand. Many Italian manufacturers are adopting eco-friendly practices, such as water recycling and emission reduction. When selecting tiles, look for a supplier committed to sustainability, ideally with ISO 14001 certification. It’s a small decision that has a lasting impact.
Effective Design Strategies for Small Spaces
Opt for Light and Large Tiles
One effective strategy for making small spaces feel larger is using light-colored tiles, such as creamy whites, soft beiges, or cool grays. These hues reflect light and create an illusion of spaciousness. Pair them with large tiles, such as 24x24 inches or more, to minimize grout lines and reduce visual clutter. Research from the University of Milan found that large-format tiles can make a room feel 30% less cramped, which is a game-changer in apartment living.
Keep Patterns Subtle
While bold patterns can be striking, they can overwhelm a small space. I once encountered a tiny bathroom with dramatic black-and-white zigzags that felt claustrophobic. Instead, opt for subtle designs like a muted herringbone or a textured finish that adds interest without overpowering the room. Not sure what works best? Request samples from your tiles supplier. Many offer free or low-cost samples, allowing you to experiment with different looks.
Define Zones with Tiles
In open-plan apartments, tiles can help define distinct areas without the need for walls. Use different colors or textures to delineate spaces—perhaps a slate gray for the kitchen and a warm beige for the living area. This approach creates a sense of organization and flow without compromising style.
Extend Tiles to the Walls
Don’t limit tiles to the floor. Extending Italian ceramic tiles up the walls can transform kitchens and bathrooms, creating a cohesive look and visually expanding the space. Opt for glossy finishes to enhance light reflection and achieve an airy ambiance.
Practical Considerations
Assessing the Cost
While Italian ceramic tiles may have a higher upfront cost than budget alternatives, they offer excellent value over time. A 2023 report from the National Association of Home Builders noted their low lifetime cost due to their durability and minimal maintenance needs. For apartment dwellers seeking quality without constant upkeep, they’re a wise investment.
Navigating Installation Challenges
Tiling small spaces can be tricky, with awkward corners and unexpected obstacles. Hiring a skilled installer is crucial to achieving a polished result. A reputable tiles supplier can often recommend reliable professionals. Precision is key—one misstep can disrupt the entire aesthetic.
Addressing Cold Floors
Some people find tiles cold underfoot, especially in cozy apartments. This issue can be mitigated by adding rugs or investing in underfloor heating, which is becoming increasingly popular in apartments and provides a warm, comfortable surface.
Choosing a Reliable Tiles Supplier
Not all suppliers are created equal. I’ve encountered both exceptional and lackluster ones. Choose a supplier with a strong reputation, transparency about their tile sources, and a diverse selection. The best suppliers offer extras like digital tools to visualize how tiles will look in your space—a valuable resource when every decision counts in a small apartment.
Conclusion
Italian ceramic tiles are ideal for small spaces—durable, beautiful, and environmentally friendly. Opt for light, large tiles, keep patterns subtle, and use them to define zones or extend to walls. While they may cost more initially, their longevity and ease of maintenance make them a smart investment.
Select a reliable ceramic tiles supplier Singapore who offers sustainable options and helps you envision the final result. Don’t compromise on installation; a professional finish is essential.

Whether you’re revamping a studio or updating a bathroom, they offer a timeless solution that’s both practical and stylish.
