Future Food

10/16/2022

0 Comments

 
Introduction
I've been writing about bug-burgers and maggot-ranches for awhile, but I've decided to expand the topic to cover Future Food in general.   There is some interesting and exciting technology being developed... but it is also dangerous.

I won't be writing about bugs today.  You can click the pic to go back to one of my earlier posts on bugs.

3D Printed 'Meat'
Israeli company Redefine Meat is entering the fake meat field in Europe producing 3D printed plant-based  steaks instead of the typical plant-burger alternatives.  Unfortunately the fake meat costs more than real beef so I imagine the only people who will consume this crap will be virtue-signaling Progressives.

Please watch the vid and let me know if you really want 3D printed soy-steaks.  The comments from Progressives are so awesome!!


Genetic Editing
I know y'all look at food labels and try to avoid GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) food.  Right?

Well SURPRISE!  In 2018 the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) followed the UN and decided that most genetically edited foods are not GMO and do not need to be regulated. 

So, in the world of woke-speak... Genetically Modified = BAD.... while Genetically Edited = OK


Based on this deception, the number of patents for Gene-Edited foods has gone through the roof and Genetically Edited crops have been approved and are being grown.   (Click the pic to see the full article)
Picture

In all fairness, Gene Editing is different than the older techniques.  The earliest technique was transgenic, which means the plant or animal was modified by inserting genes from another species (often a bacteria).

Gene Editing, on the other hand, uses CRISPER technology to modify the DNA directly without introducing any foreign genes.  Here's a link on CRISPER for those who want a deeper dive:  sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2014/crispr-a-game-changing-genetic-engineering-technique/


Scientists believe that Gene Editing is safe because it does not utilize alien DNA. 

I'm not so sure. Tampering with a genome that has achieved perfection through millions of years of evolution or thousands of years of domestication seems like it just might have unintended side-effects.  On the other hand, the rejects can simply be discarded and the scientists can pull the handle on the genetic slot-machine to make another batch.   YAY!


Prophecy
I predict that a girl will be born in the near future and she will grow up to become one of the world's leading geneticists.   Thirty years from now, she will develop genetically engineered plants to feed the genetically engineered bugs that feed the humans who have been genetically compromised by countless mRNA jabs.


Conclusion
Grow a garden using heirloom seeds and/or develop a relationships with local farmers to get unmodified food.  Going to a local Farmer's Market is a great way to meet people growing quality food.

Baker Creek is a good source for heirloom seeds.  www.rareseeds.com/store/vegetables

Hog Hunting With MTG

10/12/2022

0 Comments

 
Yesterday I wrote about Tulsi Gabbard, which got me into a political stream of consciousness.

Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) is one of my favorite politicians.  Though I'm not in her district, I've had the opportunity to meet her or hear her speak on several occasions. 

Early in her first primary, when she was relatively unknown, I went to a meet-n-greet at Tractor Supply (of all places).  There were only 8 or 9 supporters there.  Being somewhat outspoken, I started asking questions and had the opportunity to chat with her for about 15 minutes.  I will say that she is smart, articulate and sincere.

She is also adept at using social media, often trolling the Progressives. 

While many politicians relentlessly ask for donations, Marjorie occasionally does an over-the-top promotion that raises cash and makes the Progressives loose their minds.  So Much Fun!!

Her latest (and current) promotion is a chance to win a Helicopter Hog Hunt with MTG.   With each donation you get a chance to win...  YAY!


Watch the video... I promise you'll enjoy it.

A Trans Conservative?

10/11/2022

0 Comments

 
Terminology In the Era of Woke-Speak
I  suppose that we have all been indoctrinated with enough woke-speak to know that a biological male who becomes a 'woman' is to be respectfully called a trans woman.

In the spirit of acceptance and tolerance, I suggest that a Democrat who decides to become Conservative should be referred to as a Trans Conservative.

Please note, there is a spectrum and we must be careful to not mis-trans someone.  For example, if someone went a step further and joins the Republican Party then they should be called a Trans Republican and (I gasp in horror) they might even become a Trans MAGA.


Has Tulsi Transitioned?
Tulsi Gabbard, former Democrat Congresswoman from Hawaii and a member of the WEF Young Global Leaders, has been rebranding herself this year.   In June she put out a tweet supporting a Supreme Court decision defending the 2nd Amendment in New York State.  (Click the Pic)

Picture

Last week she put out a video highlighting her firearms training at The Tactical Games. (As a matter of full disclosure, Tulsi is a Lt Colonel in the Army reserve and served two tours in the Middle East.  She is no stranger to firearms).  The video is only 38 seconds...

Tulsi Leaves The Democrat Party
Today, during her introduction of  The Tulsi Gabbard Show, she announced that she is leaving the Democrat Party.  

Some people are already speculating that she is a 'spoiler' who will siphon votes away from Republicans.  There is a serious flaw in this theory... she isn't running for anything.

It's much more likely that this bombshell announcement is just a great way to get her new YT channel to go viral.  There have been more than 2.6 Million views in just 4 hours.

In any case, I believe that she has helped Conservatives by making this announcement with just three weeks to the mid-terms.   So... aloha and thanks, Tulsi.

Click the pic to watch her shred the Democrat Party.  It is definitely worth the watch.

Civilization At The Abyss

Cool title, huh??

Well, I just published Clown World a couple of days ago and this just can't wait another two weeks.

The absurdity of the Progressive Socialist mind is simply breathtaking.  AND, people actually vote for this shit!

A couple of days ago (Oct 08) British Home Secretary Suella Braverman vowed a zero tolerance crack down on ... knife possession.   In the (once mighty) British Empire possessing a knife is a felony with a maximum sentence of up to four years in prison.  (click the pic)

Picture
Judge Nic Madge, an esteemed Brit legal scholar,  questions whether common people have a legitimate need for pointy knives. He states "Kitchens contain lethal knives which are potential murder weapons"  and went on to say only "Butchers and fishmongers [need pointy knives], but how often, if at all, does a domestic chef use the point of an 8′ or 10′ knife? Rarely, if at all,’   www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-44278556

Judge Nic Madge proposes that domestic chefs (i.e. woke-speak for commoners) should only be allowed to own rounded knives. 

Of course, he IS a legal 'expert' so his logic, regarding my legitimate needs. is beyond question.  I ask you... How often, if at all, would I, a mere domestic chef,  ever have a legitimate need for a chef's knife? 

Judge Madge would surely put me in prison for a very long time for assaulting vegetables with a pointy knife!!  Surely such activities should be restricted to licensed, trusted professionals (like fishmongers).

Picture
Lethal Assault Knives In the neoTerra Kitchen...
... and I am not a licensed fishmonger


Weapons Of Mass Construction
Of course knives (and other pointy objects) can be used as weapons. But many other common objects can also be used as weapons.  Let's take a look at some the items the courageous Bobbies have confiscated under the new rules.... like these Weapons Of Mass Construction.

Outstanding work, Lads... simply outstanding.  This is not parody... click the pic.

Picture
Everything Is A Potential Weapon
If my kitchen knife drawer should be regulated by the enlightened government, what about all the other 'deadly' things I own?   I am not a licensed carpenter... how is it that I have a little tack hammer, a larger 16 oz hammer, a  22 oz framing hammer, and (gasp) a big-ass sledge hammer?  OMG I have a veritable arsenal of potentially lethal hammers!!

To make matters much worse for me, I also possess a semi-automatic Pasload nail gun that takes large capacity nail strips.  What possible need could a home-owner have for such serious nail power??

Fortunately, the Progressive insanity hasn't totally destroyed America... yet.   I believe the 2nd Amendment still states
  • "the right to keep and prepare vegetables shall not be infringed".
  • 'The right to keep wood and cut wood shall not be infringed"

Of course I'm being facetious.  Actually, I think all of this falls under a more encompassing, intrinsic,  God-given Right. 
  • The right to use tools, the right to use imagination, the right to use your own initiative in the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

I think that might become the 2nd Amendment in the neoTerran Constitution.  It will certainly be a theme in future posts.

I now leave y'all with a closing thought... This (perhaps cis-gender male) person depicted below is a threat to the Global Elites who want you to be fearful and dependent.  To them self-sufficiency is terrorism.    Hide the WomenX and ChildrenX from this toxic masculinity!

Fall Colors

Fall is here and the foliage is starting to change.

The Smokey Mountains website has an interactive map predicting when fall colors will peak across the country.  I suspect they may be a bit optimistic for neoTerra this year since we haven't had any rain in over three weeks and leaves are starting to fall early.

Back In Russia
The statement from Rep Loychik in this week's banner is funny/sad but deceptive.  As a matter of honest reporting the $80B for the IRS is over several years while the $66B for the Russian military is each year. 

Fearsome Fallout Back On Stage
Since my stream of consciousness is on Russia....  Putin has been making threats to use nuclear weapons in the ongoing Euro conflict.  Of course NATO and members of the Biden Administration are equally guilty of escalating threats.


This week, the Administration announced that it will be buying $290M of the anti-radiation drug Nplate from Amgen.  According to the government this has nothing to do with threats of nuclear war.
  • An HSS spokesman says  'This is part of our ongoing work for preparedness and radiological security. It has not been accelerated by the situation in Ukraine.'

I leave you with a thought on Progressive Democrat leadership.  Click the pic for more.

Ridin With Biden
You just have to hand it to Joe.  While he's promoting EVs, destroying the US Energy sector and draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve he does a Build Back Better tweet in a  gas-guzzling 1967 Corvette.   Don't get me wrong... that car is a classic.  BUT it shows what an elitist a$$hole he is.

Clownifornia
Every once in a while the folks in California really knock one out of the park. A woman is driving her Audi down the 405 with only three wheels.  The concerned motorist tries to get her attention but she seems oblivious to the problem.   

After rear-ending another vehicle, she claims she has just been diagnosed with cancer.  If that's true my heart goes out for her... but it doesn't explain why she's driving 80 miles/hour with her hatch open and sparks flying.  Click the pics.

Breaking News - Europe Is So Screwed - Part 5

Sabatoge!
Germany

This morning in Germany, communication lines critical for rail traffic were sabotaged in two locations.  Rail services in northern Germany were suspended.

German authorities indicate that important fiber optic cables in Dortmund and Berlin-Hohenschönhausen were cut.

The cables were repaired within 3 hours (The Germans are efficient).

Crimea
Just yesterday a massive explosion damaged the only bridge connecting Russia to Crimea.  Things are starting to spiral out of control and it isn't even winter yet.
This stuff is right out of a Jason Loner novel... but it is 8 years ahead of schedule.

EV Alert

10/7/2022

Electricity and Water Don't Mix
Florida now has an additional problem to deal with...  EVs that were flooded during hurricane Ian are spontaneously catching fire.  Lithium burns with extreme heat and is difficult to put out.


Picture

On a more humorous note, a YouTuber recently tried to charge his Hummer EV at home.  First he tried using a regular 120 volt circuit (which no rational person would do) and discovered it would take 4 DAYS to charge the battery.   Anyone who can afford an EV should get a Level 2, 240 volt charger installed.  With the Level 2 charger it would still take over 24 hours to charge the battery.

The Rational Prepper - Canning Food Update

10/6/2022

0 Comments

 
No pictures today.  Just an update.

As I mentioned yesterday, I was disappointed that two (of eight) jars did not seal on my last canning attempt.  I have now used the Canner five times and always had at least one jar that didn't seal.

Upon inspection, it seemed that the two jars that failed to seal were very full.   The instructions say that there should be 1 inch of empty 'headroom' in the jar before you seal and place in the Canner. 

This rule is annoying... a pint jar should hold 16 ounces which would be about 1 lb of meat.  However, with an inch of headroom the jar only holds about 14 ounces... and I'm stuck with leftover product.  Sometimes (often) I overfill the jars.... as an engineer I expect that a 16 ounce jar should hold 16 ounces.... dammit!

Anyway, Tuesday afternoon I went to Kroger and they had bulk Italian sausage on sale. I thought 'hmmm, I don't have to cut this up or weigh it, I can just pack it into the jar with the correct headspace and no liquid'.  Honest, a little cartoon bubble appeared over my head with those exact words.

I had four empty jars left from the case of 12 so I did two jars of Italian sausage and two jars of ground beef (with a few sweet peppers thrown in).  As expected I had about three ounces of sausage and three ounces of beef left over, but the jars had the proper headspace.

When I checked the jars this morning they were all properly sealed.  YAY!

Of course, an experiment with just four jars doesn't prove much... but it is encouraging.  From now on I will 'under-fill' the pint jars.   

As an aside, regular canned-goods (beans, carrots, potatoes, etc) are in 14.5 ounce cans.  I always thought that was just deceptive... but maybe a canned pint has always been about 14.5 ounces.  This could be a long standing, and well concealed,  deception by the Matriarchy... to short the men by 10% on every pint!!

In conclusion,  what to do with six ounces of leftover pork and beef??  Maybe a mini meatloaf for tonight's dinner.... and a real, 16 ounce pint of beer.

Scarcity - Happy Eight Billion Day

10/5/2022

0 Comments

 
Just in case you weren't paying attention, the world population hit 8 BILLION last night.   Happy Eight Billion Day!

What the Globalists don't want to tell you is that the populations of wealthy countries are stable or even decreasing, but the populations in the most uneducated, unskilled countries are exploding. 

It is completely irrational that some countries (Canada, The Netherlands) are restricting the use of critical synthetic fertilizer while the population is growing by Hundreds Of Thousands per DAY.  There will be a food crisis in 2023 and the Globalists will try to blame it on Climate Change or Russia.

Here's what the world looks like today.  Click the pic to read the article at Visual Capitalist.
