I’ve explained this so many times. I grew up in rural Georgia and I’ve been shout and yelled at so many times by some old boomer dude that I’m just immune to it. Would rather just avoid listening to their bullshit at all.

Since when do companies care about federal holidays? If you get Christmas, Thanksgiving, Memorial Day, Labor Day and July 4th off you’re amongst the lucky ones.

And then suffer 0 consequences because our legal system is petrified of the wealthy.

Minecraft playing as a nomad. Just watching sunsets over a mountain and sleeping in a giant mushroom.

The top answer for me is always a good cast iron pan. Doesn’t have to be expensive but should be quite heavy. It’s not just buy it for life either, it’s buy it for future generation’s lives.

If there’s one thing my old grandpa taught me when I was a kid is was to make sure that if I were going to stir a solution containing fissile material in a cylindrical container to make sure there wasn’t enough material in the solution to become critical.

I remember his advise every day.

We’re long past the point of companies doing what’s actually best. Consider how many are returning to offices despite all the evidence that wfh is better for all involved.

As with most things I think a big part of the problem is executives. They live for work. They love coming in and lording over their little fiefdoms and holding pointless meetings where everyone has to listen to them talk. Why would they give up a day of that every week? Why would they let people wfh where they aren’t forced to be in the room making them feel important?

 

This place used to be a state park but lost its status. Still some good hiking and kayaking though and almost never very busy.

During Covid the sherpas took the opportunity to really clean up Everest, including Green Boots. It’s such a shame that their best option to earn a living is to watch rich folk trash a mountain they consider sacred.

Not good. Just watery ketchup. But it was a hell of a lot better than nothing. It did help that I snagged a few packs of crackers for texture.

Went to visit my gf in college once a few hours away. On the way back I put every penny I had into my gas tank in hopes it would be enough and it barely was. While at the gas station I mixed some ketchup packets, salt, and hot water for “tomato soup” because it was all free.

But Buddhists don’t worship Buddha, he’s not a God, he was just a man.

What’s insane to me is that you can point this out to them and the still side with the capitalist because “well it’s good business to find cheaper labor.” They’re so brainwashed that somehow making more money will always be the ethical and just thing to do.

 

I always feel like folks sleep on Stone Mountain but the red trail is such a treat and it’s only 20-25 minutes from town.

 

That’s all

 
 

After hiking what feels like a never ending climb up Blood Mtn seeing the famous AT shelter at the top is such a relief. Then just spending some time with your fellow hikers at the top sharing stories and snacks is a dream come true. Makes the hike down feel like nothing.

 

Not as pretty as some of y’all’s pics but man this is such a great hike!
