Really depends on what I eat. Beans? Mediocre, the kind of fart that you know exactly what to expect and it's entirely mid. Brocoli? Might as well call Greta Thunberg, because those one's are probably cleaner than the air I breathe.
Now clams? Hoo boy. Those are the kind of farts that not only am I proud of, I want to forcefully share that pride with others.
Makes me wonder what other things get lost to time or get overlooked because a larger group controlled "the narrative".
Recently watched a documentary about technology being used to scan the Amazon, which revealed an "unknown" city that used to exist in the heart of the Amazon, as well as revealed evidence that pre-European Amazon was very similar to early-settlers' New England - mostly farmland, rather than vast forest with evidence of large tracts being managed, and purposely shaped for agriculture. Also revealed that one native tribe, which now is just a small village and a couple hundred people, sits on top of a site that was once a major city. Swallowed up by the jungle and time.
And each of these respective pieces of peoples' history happened at a time merely a few generations ago, yet we have barely scratched the surface of recovering what was lost.
Used to lust after the R34 Skyline as a kid. Interests have shifted a little, but still remains JDM at heart with a strong desire for a nice kei-car/van; something like an Autozam AZ-1 or something like a Suzuki Every.
Having driven a Geo Metro for a couple hundred thousand miles (350k on the odometer when I sold it for what I paid for it after having having driven it for 250k~ of those miles myself) I have a strong like for Suzuki products.
I've always had cats in the house, even as a kid. Our family has pretty much always followed the "They get breakfast when we get breakfast, and dinner at dinner time" so that's when they get a portion of "wet" food, with dry/crunchy available to "free feed" on throughout the day if they get snackish as well as a few different sources of water.
While that can lead to cats being overweight, we generally let the cats outdoors or now more recently, give them free reign of the house and attached garage. The garage is basically just a building shell, so critters like rodents and birds can still come in which in turn gives the cats something to do and keeps them active which is the key. As long as they're burning off the extra calories and maintaining a healthy weight, the "how" becomes somewhat irrelevant.
The general advice that seems to be prevalent though is to intentionally restrict their diets a bit to keep them at a healthy weight. So the "free feed" idea may not be the best advice.
Looked up LL Bean on OpenSecrets just because my other reply rants about them a little. So I'm eating a bit of crow and sharing that apparently according to https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/ll-bean-inc/summary?id=D000042703 LL Bean's contributions lean vastly towards the Democrats, and none were from the company itself, but individuals within.
Still dislike the company for other valid reasons, but their political stance is different than I was originally assuming.
Saw this post, saw L.L. Bean on the list. Felt the need to comment "Yet another reason to say FUCK L. L. Bean".
A once great company driven into the ground through corporate greed and poor policies. And that was before all of the current political nonsense. A damned shame the state of Maine holds that company on a damned pedestal.
The only good thing about Bean depends solely on whether the gentleman with the big Newfoundland hounds still frequents the area, because those dogs were/are awesome.
-edit- Quick edit to add that we should probably look at who the parent companies are. For example "Marshall's" is owned by the same company that also run "TJ Maxx" and "HomeGoods" if I recall correctly. And companies such as "Wow Cable" and "Boost Mobile" rely on infrastructure/deals made with larger companies (Spectrum and ATT, respectively). Figured if people are going to avoid companies, it'd be more impactful to avoid the ones the money ultimately funnels to.
This feels like a paid article to promote that particular development.
According to it's tourist-oriented site, Mackinac Island (which is part of "America" has been a car-free community for over 100 years. Whereas this development outside Phoenix hasn't even been around for a decade.
The article itself reads very much like an advertisement as well, going as far as emphasizing the "slightly higher than average rents" as a good thing.
So... yeah.
So big scary warning, but nothing than "audit your shit" to address it? I'm not an expert, and in fact just got ollama w/deepseek running on my machine last night... but like, isn't it common courtesy to at least suggest a couple of ways to mitigate things when posting a "big scary warning" like that?
Especially given deepseek's more open nature, and the various tidbits I've seen indicating that deepseek is open enough to be able to tweak/run entirely locally. So addressing the API issue seems within the realm of possibility...
