  • Hinduism is not an actual religion? They would have a harder time getting anyone to agree with a straight face

    I do hope this is a form of protest, simply because he’s going to run into all sorts of racism and bigotry that we should have long since outgrown. If he makes those politicians understand their inconsistency, that’s a win.

    On the other hand, he’s right about the historical importance of such a major religion and we would all do well to learn more about that. If religion belongs anywhere in public schooling, it would be as a survey or comparative religion course, maybe influence on history. …… it’s tough to learn a survey of major religions or compare major relig in a if you limit yourself to one sect of one religion




  • Nice. Where do you get one of those for a reasonable price these days?

    My first dog, I got exactly that for $4 from a grocery store as a seasonal thing

    However, after our second dog was a fiasco, I got rid of that since we weren’t getting another dog.

    Now our third dog has not been swimming. She’s a rescue who still reacts against other dogs so we can’t bring her to a lake or dog park. I want one of these pools again to see if she’d take to it, but she doesn’t like to get wet so odds are not in my favor. I think the same pool was $28 last time I saw one, and I’m not interested in throwing away that much money. Almost all “baby pools” I see now are inflatable, which wouldn’t survive a dogs first use. So are there really no cheap plastic pools anymore?


  • The article is missing too many details:

    • Why pigs? I thought by far the biggest offender were ruminants
    • The article says “cows and pigs” but how does it apply to similar animals? I’ve recently had bison and elk but there are more? Or are they enough of an edge case to not worry about it.
    • There are additives to cattle feed that reduce methane emissions: does the tax make any adjustment to encourage that?








  • Seems like it’s common out at clubs or similar events. Especially with alcohol, where people need to pee more often. There are similar numbers of men and women and similar numbers of facilities but lines at women’s get longer and longer until some just don’t care.

    Maybe I’d care if there were enough crossovers to make me wait in line too, but so far I’ve never had reason to complain, nor have I heard any other guy complain. …. Maybe I should shut up before emboldening others to inconvenience me, but whatever
