It’s what we maligned weirdos call the physical location and the chalky ground itself at “That Thing in the Desert”(Burning Man).It really is a temporary city, so we also call it BRC(Black Rock City)as the area is officially known as “The Black Rock Desert”.There’s NO food (or any) sales allowed,so fresh cooked”giftings” are usually a big hit!

Wild caught or farmed?Cuz wild is the best freshwater fish around,Farmed is mediocre.BTW,my G-Pas exact recipe.He grew up in Arkansas,before the depression.Got by on fish(mostly catfish) and small game.

Spent my life around them.Voracious and unstoppable.They are beautiful and incredibly strong.They really are the fittest to be the dominant species of seabirds.But then , EVERYONE gets shat directly upon by them at some time.For me,eating lunch st the outdoor tables in 4th grade.I threw up, and never heard the end of it.

Never saw or heard of any of those previously.Most of the “Patriot Act” has NOTHING To Do with 9/11, or even National security.Every piece of “fuck the working folk sideways “ideas they had stacked up,but could never even say them out loud.It was all jammed together,and a vote was called before ANY REPS could even possibly read it.W said ,on TV,”A no vote makes you a t’rist sympathizer!”That,and”Citizens United “have had America in a downward spiral ever since.

Legalized and licensed “usury”. Thanks W!You really showed them tu’rists with this one.I’m old enough to remember when there was no”check into cash” and “payday loans”!It was before the “Patriot Act”.

Reply to comment by RabidMortal in TIL: "Popcorn" is not simply a descriptive term, but also refers to a specific variety of corn which has the unique characteristic of being able to pop, while the other five varieties of corn do not have this capability. by greenappletree
The way it erupts and expands was part of harvest ceremonies/festivals as a metaphor for corn fields being productive.

People just don’t realize how badly,and how RECENTLY countless diseases rampaged thru populations before antibiotics and VACCINES.People NEVER died of old age at 35.Close to half of people born didn’t survive to adulthood,just a few generations ago.Vaccines!
