  • Oh yeah our pot is a hoot and a half. You instantly feel like a cowboy when you break it out. Keeps the heat in for hours.

    It’s a simple Lodge cast iron pot we got from Bass Pro. They market it as a dutch oven, but without any area on top to stack coals, I’m skeptical of that description…

    This was a dispersed camping spot that is only accessible via dirt bike or SUV. Took about an hour of crawling over rocks in the 4runner to get there.











  • Visit .world before any major Western election and browse by Local (its default) and you will easily see: .world will sell out as many Palestinians as it takes to buy political time in hopes of a blue wave that is definitely going fix everything and bring America™ back to its wholesome big chungus status.

    Whereas ML does not want to carry out genocide to buy time for pointless political waffling, go figure.








  • Dishwasher, like most appliances, are getting too smart.

    Many Bosch recommendations here, but beware that they are not above locking specific dishwasher features behind an app.

    I won’t connect my dishwasher to your stupid cloud - Mar 24, 2025

    My honest advice is to go with the absolute simplest one you can find. I have a cheapo “Edgestar” washer from China that works without a hitch. It has 4 buttons. It has no wifi. It has a 3x 7-segment displays for communicating everything.

    Dishwashers have been around, and mostly unchanged, for something like 120 years. No amount of fancy silicone trays, wash modes, microcontrollers, wifi, alerts, error modes, etc… can convince me that modern companies have actually thought of anything new in this space.

    This turned into a rant.

    TLDR: a cheap one


  • Voting takes so little effort that there’s no excuse not to.

    What if you have two kids under your watch and work won’t let you take off?

    Voting in America is extremely difficult compared to other countries. Just saying “its so easy, just do it” overlooks the plethora of strategies the ruling class uses to disenfranchise voters.

    Also, this is all assuming ICE isn’t patrolling every polling station come midterms. At that point, I dont think anyone could honestly say “voting is easy”
