Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

What?

Ive got plenty.

I have... I have Rady!

I have Nynja

I have Eirynil....

Dang

Because you guys talking about politics early in morning i entered the wrong train, now gonna waste 15 minutes of my life to get back!

Ok, maybe 5 minutes

And as fast as it came in, invincible is again gone for a year.

Do you know how many people have small scale chicken 'farms' on their property in rural areas? These chickens roam free, and the cost per egg is often cheaper than it is at the grocery store. The overhead comes from paying a distributor and a grocery store owner.

You absolutely don't need factory farms for 'poor people' to be able to afford eggs. They exist to pad profits on a multi-level enterprise. Anyone with a bit of land can produce eggs at competitive prices, so the market would self cap even if you outlawed cruel farming practices (yes, it would be a tiny bit higher than it is now).

Idk about your region, but I quickly checked a platform that sells free-range eggs directly from the rural area farmers in my region, they cost about $6 usd for 10 eggs.

On the other hand, eggs from caged chickens in supermarket cost about $1.5-$1.8 USD for 10 eggs, even the more expensive ones cost less than $4. This is in big city too.

So what you described doesn't happen everywhere. In my region there is like $2-$4 usd "chick welfare tax" that you need to pay if you care about their living conditions.

Edit: maybe you can argue that if people drive directly to a farmer and negotiate a price instead of buying on a platform it will be cheaper than $6. But driving to rural area takes time and time is money. So you still have to consider that.

Edit 2: Just found another farm that sold 10 free-range eggs for $3.5, but adding shipping fee makes it $8 lol. This chicken welfare tax is quite high....

Who sells eggs in 10's?

It's not uncommon outside of NA afaik.

This is so crazy to me. I keep telling myself it cant be real.

It is the better way...... eventually. We're far from it.

Perfect nutrition and no extra sugars, salts, antibiotics, estrogen. And no animal cruelty.

They're entirely too focused on making lab meat look like meat, with fake blood and food coloring, instead of focusing on what matters.
(because people don't like to eat grey bricks of fake meat, but we'll get there)

And we'll have more/better veggies, because we won't be feeding it to the cows en masse. And using 30% of available land for corn for ethanol, cattle feed and corn syrup.

Long long past our lifetimes.

But weed is more potent, so we're doing something properly

Why those nerds are ecofriendly now?
Just eat Big Mac

I pray for the day we abandon this stupid imperial measurment system and switch to metric. I've been using metric at work for 13 years and I've nearly converted my entire life to metric because of it. Base 10 is so much simpler.

I still struggle with reference tho. If you ask me to show how big 30cm is, I have to do the conversion in my head to in/ft and then my brain can conceptualize the size more accurately.

I already use my fingers to count, stop trying to confuse me by telling me to use my palms too!

That sounds like where imperial measurements started. 10 fingers + 2 palms = 12. 12 should be the base for our measuring. So sayeth the king.

!!! Oh boy oh boy BLACKMIRROR

I hesitate to get my hopes up but this looks like a significant improvement over season 6.

Heard this was reallllllllllllllllllly good

If you didn't watch when it was new, One piece.

Nothing that's immediately new that I can think of, maybe zero day

My work group chat is blowing up about some court ruling, what's going on lol.

Also, I think Wheel of Time premiered today, looking forward to getting home and watching it

A court ruling of zero actual importance. Trying to force all the employees fired by doge back into their positions. All the ones that were probationary, specifically.

Sounds big. Is meaningless. They'll ignore it, as no one can enforce it, or just re-fire them.


Wheel of Time.. I still didn't watch the second season yet. It must be good enough getting a third season but the first wasn't super entertaining.

It was so bad. Stiff acting and 80s special effects

Rice and beans are the core of vegan cooking. Rice and beans are CHEAP.

Sorry, no. Anyone who keeps a few pet chickens around gets fresh eggs. You might break even in you have 40 chickens and neighbors who buy your excess eggs.

Read those articles I posted. You might learn something. Somehow I doubt that you will do either.

If Elon Musk gets his way we will all be eating Teslas.
