    Totally agree with you on Rogan. Sometimes he flat out talks too much. But does have some great guests on. I try not to listen to political podcasts because of the hate and fear mongering but they do provide clarity and perspective for us to practice critical thinking skills. I'm that typical dude who likes murder cases and comedy.

    Podcasts mostly just seem like a circle jerk or a crazy, toxic debate.

    It depends on what you consume. I follow Joe Rogan and Shawn Ryan but I skip a fair share of their episodes depending on who/what the guests and topics are. There is no shortage of culture war hate fueling drama podcasts out there. Those are the channels and episodes I personally skip.

    Hate to say it but with the Country being as divided as it is, you get a lot of folks who are drawn to all the culture war drama like moths to a flame.

    Yup, drugs being smuggled through the northern border was a bit of eye opener. Then again it's easy to discount the cartels as mindless barbarians when reality is something quite different.

    Shawn Ryan, I’m going to give this a try. I’m for interesting stories and perspectives.

    Current event discussions, policy debates and opinions, not so much.

    Same, yet I'm going to SF this Friday. I never learn my lesson.
    I'm taking my daughter to see Babymetal, Jinjer and Bloodywood.
    It should be a phenomenal show and I'm excited to see it, but the 2 hour drive to get there (if there's no traffic) and the 2 hours back home after. Because I don't want to sleep in any place in that whole area. Not to mention parking in the area for the show is $50-$85. What a ripoff. Hotels are even worse.

    Forgot to suggest brewing some black tea and rinsing it through your eyes once it's cool. Good remedy for clearing it up...

    Set up two bags in my yard, AKA my private Botanical Garden. Each has 75-100 Japanese Beatles in it after 1/2 day.

    It’s 95 F out here, cloudy, and not a breath of wind. Says it’s 20% humidity but damn it feels like 75%.

    it just happened to be in the parking lot. So I figured I'd add it in the photo as a foreground.

    Spent a few hours putting this Amazon prime deal together today. Debating if I should add an umbrella or not?

    98 here, no clouds, no wind and 18% humidity. It's crazy how cloud cover can make it feel humid.

    Yeah if you’re out there enough at mid day. I’m wondering how many hours it gets shade where you need it. And how much concern is there about keeping it from blowing into something. Or what do people do, add some small sand bags, or just lower it most of the time

    Just the add to my earlier thought those umbrellas angle so that gives you more shade when the sun is low.

    Agreed.

    I have never, ever thought they were mindless. They have a corporate structure that is brutally effective.

    Barbarians? yes.

    consider a BILLION dollars a month moving inside that drug economy.:eek:

    that money affects most everything you see in any given economic area.

    and that money buys power & politics.

    and power and politics affects EVERY aspect of your/our life.


    when she said they will just wait 4 years for the present admin to switch out....that was corporate intelligence.
    they know the right path. smart.

    they know the customers will ALWAYS be there. 4 years is irrelevant.

    hiring the chemical engineers to bypass China supply chain is damn smart.

    Completely exposed south facing deck. I have a different umbrella already on my deck but it's one of these so it won't fit in the table itself. We often get wind often. I think a shade sail might be in the cards. They seem to do best in the wind.

    I read that the last sub 20k new car in the U.S. has been discontinued, and they are selling the last of their inventory — the Mitsubishi Mirage sells for around $18,500.
