Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

Not open for further replies.
Just cooked a few organic, vegan wontons from the supermarket. They really aren't very enjoyable.
Got no use for peeps who eat gluten-free for any reason other than a medical issue. Use almond flour. Pat yourself on the back. Then beatch about the water crisis in the western U.S. Bah, humbug.

One line from a PAESTA (Pennsylvania Earth Science Teachers Association) podcast is especially worth noting.

"To grow one almond requires 1.1 gallons of water, and to grow a pound takes 1,900 gal/lb. The crazy thing about that is that walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachios, and cashews all use roughly the same amount of water to grow as well, but it is the almond which is in such high demand at this time."

I bought the dumplings because they looked like they might be tasty. Been eating leftover curry.
 
Funny, I feel a new novel is forthcoming from Winslow Industries....

This should be posted in the What did you learn today? thread. :smug:
Don't know about the ones you bought, but this talk of wonton dumplings is making me hungry for Chinese food.

Wanton dumplings make for a better story.
I was just going to say something about this, but you saved me the trouble! :laugh:

Right behind you at the buffet line. Might sound weird, but there's a Chinese-Mexican buffet on 19th Ave, a block south of Bell Ave. in north Phoenix that's really pretty good!
Sounds good, to me! When we go out to eat, it's usually Mexican or Asian. Hmm, a hamachi or char siu burrito just might work...

Anti-cattle protesters blame animals for having a large carbon footprint. They suppress the data on growing crops and importing the water for them. At some point fresh water will be as precious as fossil fuel.

Count me out of all futures where a stillsuit is a necessity.
 
Besides, with any luck, we'll be long gone before stillsuits are needed. :hyper:

Canada apparently has one fifth of the worlds freshwater supply, only seven percent of that is renewable. The US doesn't have far to go to get it.

Then you probably don't ever want to go into space: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed].

Drinking refined pee is one thing. Moisture from anything else biological, no thinks. Water is simply one oxygen and two tydrogen molecules, it can be made. They should be working on the technology to do so on a large scale.

Lest we forget, the informal definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results...
"...maybe these organic wontons won't be inedible this time..."
:D
