I had a co-worker with an avocado tree in Bangkok. They were great, but he claimed his wife couldn't sell them. No demand. That surprised the heck out of me. The expats at the company took all he could bring us. He wouldn't even let us pay him for them. Of course, if avocado ranching took off in LOS, there would be a glut and the price would collapse. That's just the nature of things. On an aside, I found some great guacamole recipes without avocados, online. Street vendors in the US use the recipe because it's cheap and doesn't turn brown like normal guac. The "green" ingredient is zucchini. Pretty good substitute for dipping chips and making burritos.

Shameless plug here. I recently bought a DJI Power 1000 portable power supply for a specific need and it's been real handy for portable power above and beyond the project I bought it for. Back in Texas, I took the batteries out of the boats to charge up the phones and tablets when the power went out for over a week. The DJI would have been real handy. Can also be charged with a running car with the proper cable (sold separately).

I wonder how many of them get away with it. Seems like the scheme would die on the vine if some percentage didn't get through. -

Those responders have bigger cajónes than I do. Or maybe they've never experienced BLEVE training. boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion I've gone through BLEVE training at several points in my life and I'll never forget the images of many yards of fire hose melted into the pavement in the aftermath of an explosion. Anyone within 50 yards or so would have been toast.

impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
He's not doing so well in the social media realm. First the "cocaine on a train" and now this... And that even bigger one. Google "Becoming Brigette". -
Isn't she a dude? That's what Candace Owens claims to have proven. And she has the receipts.

"The risk of death from (insert any ailment you care mention) for adults ages 75 years to 84 years old is about 140 times higher than for adults ages 18–29." I think it's also very telling that the recommendation for boosters is the same, regardless of risk profiles, and don't consider the side effects. I think they're still jabbing toddlers in spite of miniscule risk and a potential lifetime of long term side effects that we can't possibly know until a long time has passed and someone studies them.

Here's what Congress says: Illegal immigrants are a net fiscal drain, meaning they receive more in government services than they pay in taxes. Illegal immigrants do pay some taxes. We estimate that illegal immigrants in 2019 paid roughly $5.9 billion in federal income tax, $16.2 billion in Social Security tax and $3.8 billion in Medicaid taxes. However, as the net fiscal drain of $68,000 per person cited above indicates, these taxes are not nearly enough to cover the cost of the services they receive. They said that at the start of 2024.
