mod6: bleach all
the foodz
ben_vulpes: it's almost as
though
they never
thought
to have
the fun of putting novel
tastes in
the kid's face
mircea_popescu: you know apparently lots of (badly brought up) girls go
through
this "only white
things" phase ?
ben_vulpes: while my
two year old is scarfing down olives, prosciutto, spicy chilis, with nary a blink.
ben_vulpes: funnily enough,
the family democrats have failed on parenting
to
the degree
that "she only eats white
things" like...bread. pasta. plastimilk.
mod6: Trying
to haul in a vw bus.
mod6: Doing some fishing like
that could be a pretty fun
time.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 16:48 asciilifeform: 9x << i
thought
that was fishing mode
mircea_popescu: costs a little more, but
then again what's
the money for.
mircea_popescu: that's why you don't permit your kids
to live in room with "posters" of idiotic pop "legends". let
them have roman antiquity decor.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform woman's milk is good quality ; powdered crap/soy/etc is not. child forms good
tastes from his mom's
tit.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-17 17:31 asciilifeform: 'FDA specifically bans from human infant formula ("felonious fortification")
the addition of a
tetraunsaturated fatty acid only found in human breast milk. Near as anyone can
tell, its only metabolic purpose is
to encourage brain development. Human milk for human babies - or you bring up a Democrat.' ftr.
mod6: Here
they just feed
the babies Diet Coke.
BingoBoingo amazed by how much better everything dairy and chocolate here is compared
to old country.
mircea_popescu: the correct proportion is like .7 cookie
to
the nut. since
the macadamia come in fixed size, how about
they change
the damned cookie size
to match my needs!
mircea_popescu: speaking of mother's milk, britt sells
these macadamia nuts covered in black chocolate here.
they go fabulously well with danish cookies, but i have
the following complaint :
mod6: Jerky is great, but it's a hassle
to make ya.
mircea_popescu: mod6 ayup. cold smoked meat is perfectly acceptable, what else are you gonna have for breakfast.
that, salmon, breastmilk, so on.
mircea_popescu: then again,
there are
those places
that'll
take your meat and make it jerky. not very expensive, but back
to "and how much jerky can you eat ?!"
mod6: I
think
those guys in alaska have something figured out with
those full walk-in smokers
they built with logs, etc.
mircea_popescu: if you can sell
the meat without having
to preserve it ~at all~, you got a fiddy
to a hundy buck a pound sorta
thing. if not... whatever costco charges, 9.95 or such
mircea_popescu: mod6 and
the
thing is, meat age matters IMMENSELY. unless you operate a smoking
thing, which fwis is all but unknown in
the us, and unless i guess you know how
to rot it properly (whicjh again, is nice, but MAYBE once a month sorta
thing, like
the romeo&juliets), in order
to eat a steak shot-this-morning i'd pay, but really i wouldn't eat a "straight from
the freezer" steak unless i have
to.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: If
the locals in old country were sane it would be
a111: Logged on 2017-10-25 18:32 mircea_popescu: but yes,
timisoara has automated raw milk dispensing machines. while
that lasts, which is
to say until some dumb cunt "raises awareness" enough on facebook
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeah but really, meat distribution is
teh point.
mircea_popescu: then
THAT guy can afford
to
take a buck or something, knowing full well
that in a coupla days its gone anyway
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i guess if all
the "exclusive gated community" schmucks weren't so schmucky
thery could have a delegated hunter, get your steak in
the mail by 10am. << In old country missouri village of "Town and Country" licenses hunters, but only as far as reducing
the
traffic hazard posed.
mod6: I really want
to get some elk steaks, but no where
to be found in immediate area.
mod6: Yeah, srsly now. It'd be great
to have a local wild-game guy, just like butcher or automotive repair guy.
BingoBoingo: Back in old country, most people had a good chunk of
their venison processed into salty "stick" form for long
term sub freezing refrigeration.
mircea_popescu: sorta like how milk works (or worked, dunno, maybe
they did away with
that
too)
mircea_popescu: i guess if all
the "exclusive gated community" schmucks weren't so schmucky
thery could have a delegated hunter, get your steak in
the mail by 10am.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: only way is
to have a large population
that can eat it, somehow.
though iirc usg was pretty shitty about preventing hunter sales.
mircea_popescu: but in
temperate zone, really, ima pay
to freeze
that much meat for months so as
to have month-old meat for months ? BUT I DUN WANNA!
mircea_popescu: yeah. and in places like alaska, say, where
they do
take a moose now and again, it's more convenient because freezer everywhere.
mod6: These guys go out and
take 1-2 deer,
that is probably enough for at least
the whole winter.
mod6: yeah, adding in
the fat really helps hold em
together. Venison is so lean.. makes a damn good rare stake
too.
mod6: I love
those venison burgers, we mix it 50/50 with ground up pork butt.
mod6: let
the meat age.
then cut it up.
mod6: we
took
the hide off,
then hung it in
the garage for 4 days.
mircea_popescu: mod6 and
that's if you know what you're doing. otherwise,
takes ~3 fingers.
mod6: mircea_popescu: its quite a lot of work. i helped dress my buddies buck
this year.
took ~3 hours.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i am in hunter mode, applying numeric factor of 2x
to 9x as need be.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> mod6 problem is, if you actually
take one of
those, you gotta do something with a quarter
ton of meat. what,
take in 6 more women ? << No where close on a deer. Large buck (deer) is usually ~100 kgs
total weight/
mircea_popescu: i shot a grand
total of 1 doe. and honestly
the excstasy wasn't worth
the laundry.
mircea_popescu: yeah. i always was more of
the ... how
to put
this, defensive hunter ? "i don't mind killing
things but i really dun wanna carry
them" sort.
mod6: mircea_popescu: indeed! lot of meat on an animal like
that.
BingoBoingo: <mod6> Last weekend I was hunting and saw 5 huge bucks across
the open field. Was like O_O. << Vermin!
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> now where
to find wheat field... << Wheat fields are a seasonal
thing in US, check bean fields a few weeks after harvest
mircea_popescu: mod6 problem is, if you actually
take one of
those, you gotta do something with a quarter
ton of meat. what,
take in 6 more women ?
mod6: Last weekend I was hunting and saw 5 huge bucks across
the open field. Was like O_O.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hanbot once saw fox on
traintrip in romania, guy was like, standing watching
the
train, 20 meters off if
that.
mircea_popescu: if
there's woods by
the side, pheasant almost guaranteed
mod6: Ah, might be pheasants in
the corn
though.
mod6: You'd
think
there would be a bunch just west of where you are.
mircea_popescu: they're very hardy, pretty much every farm has
them. go for walk post wheat harvest,
there's 100s
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform are you getting fired up with proletariat rage over
thar ?
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> gotta pay attention with
them << shooting
things
that walk on
the ground -- a bit more risky ya.
mod6: Yeah, otherwise you get
the ole dick-cheney
to
the face.
mircea_popescu: yeah. you need like a dozen
to make a meal, but
the meal is worth making.
mod6: People love
to eat em.
mod6: Yeah, for sure. I've never been grouse hunting
tho.
mircea_popescu: or how do you call
the little runny bird in
this language
mod6: What kinda blows my mind about
the
turkeys is
the like
to roost in
the
trees.
mircea_popescu: yeah. it's possibly best beginner game, basically golf with clubs
that shoot
mod6: I
think it'd be good exercise if nothing else.
mod6: i wanna give
turkey a
try
too. i hear it's a lot of walking, but lots of fun.
mircea_popescu: per
tradition it's higher on
the hierarchy of hard game
mod6: Ducks fly fast
tho, ya. I should give
that a
try next year.
mod6: Any more
than
that and
they're gone.
mod6: Does
the job. I
try
to shoot 'em within 20-50 yds.
mod6: I can't imagine
trying
to hit a fast-flying anything @ 100 yds with a rifle much less a mile and a half.
mircea_popescu: mod6 well you don't want explosive round lol. but anyway, picking
the lead out from
the pheasant in experience not much worse
than eating around
the hole in
the duck.
mircea_popescu: still, if you manage a mile-and-quarter kill or some insanity like
that, you really want
the dog
to do
the running for you.
mod6: I'd imagine
that
there wouldn't be much decent meat left after getting hit with a rifle round.
BingoBoingo: AHA, in usa duck needs
to be
taken with shotgun using steel shot
