Sending $30 From NYC to a Thailand Tesco Lotus in Under a Minute for 20 Cents
This happened a few hours ago. In spite of my project to create a self-sustaining business project I cannot do alone, I’m still involved daily in the mundane needs of the family. Once it happened, I laughed and went to the pool for a while. I came back to write about it. I was prepared……...

The Banality of Blue on Black
This is a bit tangential or a further integration on yesterday’s post, Get Away From Everyone Trying To Help You. I also have a mini-update at the end about the start of my fundraiser for a family. There’s a song I’ve been a fan of for quite some time, Blue on Black, by Kenny Wayne……...

Get Away From Everyone Trying To Help You
This should probably be another in my paid-member series Permanent Crisis is the New Normal — Prosper Anyway. Since my heightened purpose these days is to absolutely make my fundraiser for the Thai family deliver, I’m putting everything out there publicly for a while. I’ve included a handy linked-image in the sidebar. I’ve written an……...

Top Gun: Maverick 2022
I unabashedly adore Tom Cruise and freely admit it. Just one and a half years my junior, he has delighted me with his filmmaking for a good portion of my life. He and Opie Taylor are perhaps my favorite filmmakers. Neither of them ever do shit films and these days, that counts for a lot….…...

I’m Helping A Rural Single-Mom Family In Thailand
I will make this short. I’ve begun a GoFundMe campaign and yes, I know what they did to the Canadian truckers. It’s no fault of these two girls, their mom, aunt, cousin, or grandmother who all live under the same roof. Nonetheless, GoFundMe is just the best platform for this. It’s simple charity. Many of……...

My Interview With Ex-American Sean Ring
Most people understand what the term expat means. It’s someone who lives outside of their country of citizenship, typically by choice; i.e., not particularly applicable to military or corporate employees stationed in another country. As military, I lived in Japan for five years and then France for two. It was a station, I was not…

Yesterday was one of about 4 Big Buddha days per year in Thailand. I dunno. It’s not quite like Christmas in the west; perhaps it’s more like lower-keyed Easter. Thais will make a trip to a temple, always gifts in hand…like flowers and food…for the monks and The Buddha. It’s basically a showing of reverence……...

A Fresh Look At All Cause Mortality Lately
I grow weary of both reading about Covid and vaccines, and posting about them. Still, when something a bit novel comes along, I find it worthy to unpack it. What I’m going to do here is a TL;DR post (too long; didn’t read). That is, I’m going to take a very long, complicated, stats and……...

There Is No Junk Food
I typically have 2-3 posts in draft these days. Sometimes it’s because ideas come in on top of each other so I want to at least write a few sentences or paragraphs to get started and not forget. Some of them are for the next in one of my posts series I’m doing. Other times……...

Elon’s Golden Helmet
There’s a phrase an old friend of mine used over 30 years ago to signify what we might call bulletproof today…now reduced to the name of a silly coffee drink that makes a meaningless distinction between butter and cream. What he meant was that through swaths of history, someone comes along and changes a lot……...

Trying To Zero In On T For Men
Admittedly, this hasn’t been the greatest blazing post-series I’ve done. It’s curious to me why it hasn’t been. Perhaps it’s because I find so much of the bro-science wanting. There’s only a single post to the series so far since the hook intro: What Caused My 40% Testosterone Increase? #2 — The Sexual Mind. This……...

Condom Culture To Mask Culture
It should seem obvious. Let’s talk fundamentals. There is an obvious necessity for protective gear. It’s all over. It ranges from stuff that guards a tender human body from radioactivity, chemicals, or biological agents…to dishwashing and cleaning gloves. There’s lots in-between. So here we are in clown-car world. This, too: As the French Revolution led……...

How Prohibition Was Done Right and Roe vs. Wade Was Done Wrong
I have this rather giddy sense that the double-edged sword of social media and global media is that people are more inclined to actually understand the issues in terms of the American civics in play. I could be wrong, and making signs and demonstrating in public is all anyone wants or needs to do. But……...

Abortion, SCOTUS, Roe vs. Wade, and My Take
The leaked majority draft opinion obtained by Politico puts the US Supreme Court in a very awkward position. So awkward that if the final decision were to change to upholding Roe vs. Wade and its subsequent nods at it, then it would smell of the court being heavily influenced by potential civil and political outcomes……...
