  • Interesting that you didn’t notice all the Republicans pissed off that it got killed over stupid infighting, which might be confused with some kind of strategy on the Democrat’s part to highlight just where MAGA’s gonna get them.

    Now, from what I’ve read of your posts here, none of it actually matters to you - you’re going to keep banging on about how both sides are the same by bringing up how they’re similar as if the similarities prove you right, and ignoring every difference as though they don’t contradict you, so I’m not going to bother going any further with this. If you have a vote, I already know that you’re gonna make damn sure it’s a vote for Trump - even if you end up not voting at all. So thanks for that.

    I miss ranked choice voting from Australia. Colorado has it on the ballot this year, hopefully it’ll pass there and the rest of the nation will follow suit. Then agitating like this will actually mean something.









  • Edit: the following only applies to USPS, so it’s probably a good idea to only use USPS for mail.

    Whoever steals, takes, or abstracts, or by fraud or deception obtains, or attempts so to obtain, from or out of any mail, post office, or station thereof, letter box, mail receptacle, or any mail route or other authorized depository for mail matter, or from a letter or mail carrier, any letter, postal card, package, bag, or mail, or abstracts or removes from any such letter, package, bag, or mail, any article or thing contained therein, or secretes, embezzles, or destroys any such letter, postal card, package, bag, or mail, or any article or thing contained therein; or

    Whoever steals, takes, or abstracts, or by fraud or deception obtains any letter, postal card, package, bag, or mail, or any article or thing contained therein which has been left for collection upon or adjacent to a collection box or other authorized depository of mail matter; or

    Whoever buys, receives, or conceals, or unlawfully has in his possession, any letter, postal card, package, bag, or mail, or any article or thing contained therein, which has been so stolen, taken, embezzled, or abstracted, as herein described, knowing the same to have been stolen, taken, embezzled, or abstracted—

    Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

    A cop who commits a crime is a criminal. A cop who commits a felony crime is a felon. Arrest them.




  • Important to note, Penicillium mold is not Penicillin. Bread commonly available in modern grocery stores is often not made the same way as back then, and will be growing and carrying other pathogens which you don’t want to be getting into an open wound. Penicillin, the modern medicine, is highly processed, and impossible to manufacture without what amounts to a laboratory.

    They covered this a bit, at the end of the article:

    Furthermore, Egyptian bread was leavened without yeast, in contrast to ours, which typically contains yeast. Therefore, using our moldy bread to cover wounds is not recommended. Our bread contains numerous chemical elements that, instead of aiding in wound healing, could worsen the condition and potentially lead to more serious pathologies. Additionally, Egyptian bread was manufactured using clay pots baked on hot ashes, while our bread involves machines that, despite hygiene efforts, may harbor microbes or bacteria.

    I got interested in how to make my own modem medicines because there’s a nonzero chance I’ll need to know how in my lifetime, so learning how hard it is to refine was a great disappointment.
