I see a lot of people starting gardens or looking to getting chickens to be as self sufficient as they can. Many are holding off on large purchases to save in case “something happens”. People around me who were never interested in firearms and in fact were generally opposed to them are starting to arm themselves at a rapid pace.

Isn’t China taking some of these actions?

You add the arugula and the salad after the base is cooked. Some places cook it with sauce only and add shredded uncooked mozzarella, some cook it with minimal cheese on the pie and add the shaved cheese on the salad. Dealer’s choice.

Edit: bf is insisting the no cooked cheese is best, with a light vinaigrette. I think it’s worth playing around with it. But a lil dressing is nice.

Yeah, I’m a big fan of pairing habanero with fruit and acid and I bet those would fuckin slap on a pizza

Your body is weak, but so is metal before it is tempered by heat. Your potential is waiting, if you can weather the flames.

Also capsaicin is good for the heart.

Arugula adds a sharp flavor that really pairs with cheese well. Might be controversial, but I’m a big fan of the salad pizzas. The best tend to be the house salads of romaine, red onion, tomato, and olives up ended atop a good thin crust pizza with plenty of sauce.

Edit: Oh!! If making an arugula salad pizza, I find it works best when paired with something incredibly salty, like anchovy, used very sparingly, some thinly sliced pecorino romano, and a drizzle of good balsamic (that thick shit, not the watery cheapo one). Throw some halved sweet cherry tomatoes on there and some thin sliced onions? Oh! One of my favorite meals after a night of drinking.

That all depends on viewership and ad revenue.

The national leagues are about making money and money alone. Just get out there and play if ya just love the sport.

Buddy they don’t even put it on their website.

Is that the right way to run a business? Heck no, but it’s what’s happening and I like seeing jazz at the speakeasy style bar in a laundromat so I gotta ask someone with an Instagram account to check for me.

My local paper is NOT gonna tell my when the speakeasy style bar is hosting a jazz night.

Supposedly the produce in North Korea is really really good since no one will sell them modern farming equipment or technology, so it’s all done using old methods.

I think every major power has plans to attack their neighbors “just in case”. I would be SHOCKED if the USA didn’t have plans to invade Canada and Mexico, for example.

100%. This is why I’m stocking up now. Fishing is a good, cheap, fun hobby and if everything is gonna be more expensive, I’d rather prep and spend a little more now and have access to it in the coming years.

I’ve been getting all my fishing gear from Ali Express waaaaaay cheaper than Dicks or Bass Pro or what have you so I’ve been stocking up for the coming year at least.

A lot of it is the same exact stuff you’d find Stateside but I don’t have to pay a mark up so Walmart or whoever can pay their shareholders and C-staff. Some of the products, namely fishing line, are better than what I can find here because they’re meant for export to the Japanese market which is apparently more interested in the smaller fish I target anyhow.

Edit: to expand on this, I can get 500m of 6 lbs test (equivalent) coated multicolor (changes colors every 10m so I can see how much line is out) braid for $13. There’s like ONE company with a similar product Stateside and it’s $19 for 150 ft of line. I pair this with filling a little less than half my reel with cheapo monofilament backing and end it with a more expensive but still cheaper than US fluorocarbon leader and I have enough line to fill my spool three to five times over for less than it would cost me to get one spool’s worth of the braided mainline.

The rods and reels are obviously lower quality, but honestly, the difference between my $65 Pflueger reel and my $12 brand-invented-just-for-Ali-Express one is largely that the knob on the Pflueger reel is more comfortable. I looked into getting just a knob from Pflueger but they make that complicated and expensive. I could probably get another reel for the same cost, including shipping.

And the fish don’t care about knock offs or slight defects.

Lures are somewhat expendable anyhow. I can pay $9 for a single Kastmaster spoon or $3.12 for a set of 3, in different colors, with rooster tails that attract the fish better.

I’m mostly targeting bass, trout, pickerel and other sub 15 lbs. lake fish. Maybe if I were targeting bigger fish or surf fishing, it would make more sense to buy quality over quantity. Though I’ve seen some very good looking carp fishing products there which simply aren’t available in America (as carp fishing is just much more popular in China) but I find carp fishing boring.

The tariffs are fucking stupid. Sure, it could make the $9 lure more competitive by upping the cost of the imported ones, but that just leaves me with less money in my pocket. It doesn’t help the consumer.

He just wanted us to know that coat making was a very complex and fascinating process and look and what that has wrought!

Just sell it online and be honest when asked. Gifting culture is too guilt based, just do the sensible thing and plow through that ridiculous social barrier like a bulldozer.
