The thing I like about Madonna is that she determined it was her life’s goal to be rich and famous. So she went all out to achieve that goal.

Garth Brooks did the same. Perhaps apocryphal, but he walked around Oklahoma State University with a detailed plan written in a notebook. He made the plan and executed it, in order, no excuses, would not accept no for an answer.

5 calories is all but meaningless. There’s a small beetle on my window right now. Less than 5 calories.

In the calorie tracking world, there’s no difference in kcal and cal.

A quarter second is about what I do for my only use case, but I’m only covering a couple of square inches.

This whole thread got me thinking. A quarter second, or less, sounds about how I use it, a bare touch.

Why do people steam things?

Which is funny because I just posted about using spray oil on my egg poacher. :)

One example would be my 1960s egg poacher, about all I use spray for. I could use butter, and have!, but the spray ensures it hits the entire surface and the egg no stick. Yes, I could wipe it with a buttered paper towel, but that’s messy.

Having said that, I refuse to pay the ridiculous price for spray oil. Only reason I use it is that my wife stocks it for whatever reason.

A single caller turned me away from Rush and got me started thinking about the content I was consuming.

Dude calls in to say he looked into getting a wind turbine and the math didn’t work out. When he brought up the cost to hook it to the grid, Limbaugh was laughing his ass off.

“Wait! Wait! It requires POWER to run! HAR HAR HAR!”

The man tried to explain that the connection would pay him when he generated more than he used. Limbaugh was an intelligent man, he knew where the conversation was going and kept cutting off the man’s explanation.

Despite the caller’s math as to why wind wouldn’t work for him, Limbaugh wouldn’t allow the man to make one positive point. That turned me off so hard I started seeking other viewpoints. 15-years later and I’m into Fully Automated Luxury Communism.

Enjoy my screenshot from the day that vile man died:

This is the internet equivalent of showing someone a haunted VHS tape.

SEVEN DAYS!

I’d love some before and after notes! I’m hardly ever on here so I may miss it. But I’ll catch it eventually!

Ah! I’m imagining a much simpler area to clean. You got me looking at pics and the tanks are basically bathtubs.

This fake story brought to us by someone who never changed a baby’s blowout. A squalling infant covered in shit is WAY worse than what allegedly happened here. Even a dog rolling around in shit is way grosser to clean.

Put on some gloves, not really needed because you’re about to nuke ALL the bacteria, but it feels better. Pour some bleach on the mess, instant bacteria death and as soon as the air clears, zero smell. Wipe it up with disposable towels of some sort, place in plastic bag, place in trash. You don’t have the luxury of such prep when dealing with a live animal.

This is fake for so many of the reasons you pointed out! Bleach water would have that tank good to go in a hurry. And I’m sure they’ve clean up piss and vomit before. In any case, why would they make an insurance claim and possibly raise their rates?

Having a baby blow shit up their back is FAR worse. You can’t take your time getting gloves and prepping and just hose the child down with bleach.

Cleaning such a space is simply the cost of doing business. It’s absurd to claim they’d have to just chunk the whole tank when a gallon of bleach and some water would nuke it clean.

You’re right they have insurance, but I wouldn’t make a claim and raise my rates over a nothingburger.

Bleach alone would get it, even watered down bleach. I sometimes have to shit in a bucket at our little camp. Splash of bleach, smell’s gone instantly. Half the mass and all the stink is anaerobic bacteria.

I prefer lye. Can’t stand the smell of bleach.

Not just hiring and training! You also have to start paying state unemployment tax on that new hire. In Florida the first $7,000 is taxed on each new employee. Then there’s loss of efficiency, and related items. On top of that, if your turnover is high, your payroll company will up your rates because they’re working harder and you’re a PITA employer. I’ve sat meetings where we decided exactly that.

Broke my femur and while waiting on surgery in the ER, the nurse than came on shift and checked my chart was the woman I had been partying with the night before. :)

I don’t get YouTube ads. Between my Pihole and Ublock, I see nothing.

Saw an interview with him last night. They were totally unprepared to film that video, amateur hour. He was young and scared shitless, made up the dance on the spot. Guy doing backflips? “Hey guys! Watch what I can do!” In the video he went. There was a guy yelling out his apartment window for them the shut the fuck up down there. Wardrobe? Nope, those were his own clothes.
