Crummier Food At Higher Prices

And if it's worse next summer? Who knows what will happen? Always the possibility the Gulf Stream will collapse & these will be remembered as the "good" old days.

I Told You

I've mentioned that everything's made of shit & we're all dying many times in this space. Try as you will, you can't deny that the open grave, a crematorium or a donation to science await you all. And now, evidence that shit is responsible for everything.

History Surfaces In Danube

"Shithole Nation" Indeed

Physician, Heal Thyself

Political Wire shares:
“When you start eating healthy, you don’t need toilet paper. Animals in the wild have no residual stool on their anus… I could have a bowel movement behind a sheet at a dinner party in the corner of the room and nobody would know.”

— Dr. Sean O’Mara, whose dietary recommendations have been embraced by JD Vance, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Howard Lutnick and Sean Duffy, quoted by the New York Times Magazine.

So this "doctor" spends a lot of time contemplating evacuating "behind a sheet at a dinner party in the corner of the room"? Good to know. The Irish really are total sick-o morons, aren't they?

And not quite, Nature Boy:Like any right-winger's mouth, sprays shit 24/7.

Riddle Me This!

What is it about your species that makes me repeat my mantra, "I will slit your fucking throat", virtually every day upon awakening? (Could be the non-stop bullshit, lies & cheating.) Nothing wrong w/ me; the trouble must be on your side of the equation. Like Brainworm Bobby Jr. here, a veritable piece of human waste & roadkill, who is beyond disturbed.

Frankly, I'm so sick & tired of the non-stop bullshit, lies & cheating my fingers are crossed hoping that your world of shit & pain does have another mass death event. And soon.
Ten Deadliest Viruses.
They are lying-in-wait for you.

No Organ Meats, Damn It!

RFK Jr. suggests Americans can more easily afford groceries if they start eating liver instead of beef:"Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. ... You can buy liver"

More like "Eat real shit, losers." No relief offered, just "Let them eat gâteaux* & groatcakes†." Why does this sick sumbitch hate America so?
*Marie Antoinette didn't think all the Frogs had access to rich buttery cakes. She damn well meant "Eat shit".
In older culinary usage, a gâteau (plural gâteaux) did not strictly refer to a sweet layered dessert. Historically, it described basic baked blocks of flour and water eaten like bread.
Not even actual bread. 

†Note to Google's moron robot: "Groatcakes" is not from some Johhny Come-Lately Star Drek hacks but the Firesign Theatre. 1970, not 1997.

World On Fi-Yuh!

Asteroid Smut

Popular Science sez:
“We’re in the realm where we might be essentially killing off everything within that first hour or two,” said Brandon Johnson, a Purdue University planetary scientist and study co-author.

Chicxulub would have immediately wiped out all life within a wide radius of its impact along the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary, the geological demarcation between the age of the dinosaurs and the Cenozoic era. Traveling at a rate of speed of about 12 miles-per-second, the asteroid struck Earth with the equivalent force of 100 teratons of TNT—more than one billion times the strength of the atomic blasts at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The blast created a 62-mile-wide, 19-mile-deep cavity while generating two-mile-high tsunamis and 620 mph winds. Around 25 trillion metric tons of debris rocketed into the atmosphere, which then rained down on Earth as fiery missiles called spherules to set forests ablaze.

Bring. It. On! Two hrs. is quick enough for me.

Fi-Yuh In France!

French firefighters were still battling a wildfire four times the size of Paris cutting through forests west of Bordeaux on Wednesday. (AP video by Alexander Turnbull)
Factoid: The city of Light itself is pretty petite, 6 miles (9.5 km) north-to-south and 7 miles (11 km) east-to-west. The Euros won't have to worry about wildfires as much when there's a major slowdown or shutdown of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) — the broader ocean conveyor belt that includes the Gulf Stream — driven by melting polar ice and freshwater dilution. Is AMOC pronounced "amok"?

Hot Rails To Hell ...

... Are Actually Hot!

Spent almost an hr. post-shooting fiddling w/ sectional & flex-track before suspending operations. But one line is almost going & I've proved w/ geometric logic it won't need added feeds.

Other modeling stuff:
Also, at some point you need to decide if you are content being a casual recreationalist or if you want to move to the next level. It’s your call. No judgement. That said, if you want to move forward, you need to get out of your comfort zone, buy that sixty-buck airbrush, and get comfortable with it.
Easy, Lance. Sounds a bit judgemental to me who, picky as I am, fully intend to remain in my "casual recreationalist comfort zone". No desire to obtain an air-brush, but I did click the "sixty-buck airbrush" link out of curiosity, to find it's a) Amazon; b) $199.99, not any "sixty bucks". Ha!
Don't have the space, don't need the noise.
I'll stick w/ washes & powders; my primary interest in weathering is eliminating gloss & shine on rolling stock, not creating1:87 works of art. Avoided a soldering iron so far too, but if the track continues its recalcitrance ...

Dry Heat

Temperature & humidity in the bunker earlier.
Currently 58% humidity, 86°F (30°C). Don't make me no never mind. Haven't broken a sweat or broken out the fan yet. If you can't take the heat ...
