I gauge how strong Turnip is by how complacent the country is.

Might be a tactic to get people to lose old historic accounts and start new ones. A good way to bump up the numbers is to ban an account but don’t delete the account, and just let it just sit there. Then the banned person is forced to create a new account if they want back in again.

A common theme I read from banned accounts is that they can’t get in again yet no one said the account was deleted … and the assumption is that the user just gave up the account and restarted a new one.

Before modern mass communications, most people didn’t know what anyone said next door let alone the next town. Outside news was filtered through newspapers, radio or just plain word of mouth or reading a book about info that was often years old.

Most people said things to people next to them or who they met in town that day.

It wasn’t until about 30 years ago that we started getting to the point of knowing exactly what people were saying everywhere all over the world in real time.

I keep mine in a very loose burlap bag which my farmer gave me years ago … then I hang the bag on a hook from the ceiling in my basement (about six feet off the floor) where humidity lingers about 50-60% year round … no natural light and temps are about 17-20 Celsius year round.

I learned that hanging is better because everything gets equal amounts of air. If you sit it on a shelf or near the floor, the bottom layer will get damp fast and give no air circulation. My farmer said that he had a few customers complain that their supply of garlic went bad midway through the winter … he suspected that they kept their bags on the floor or on a shelf.

Last year I kept 20lbs starting from about October and I used the last of it at about June the following year with only about three or four bulbs going bad … and bad meaning they just shrivelled up and dried out.

I’m not exactly a gourmet cook, I’ve just been learning how to cook for years. One Italian friend of mine recommended that I should always try to get fresh garlic as much as I can because it is better. Canned, preserved, precut, minced, bottled garlic … or even dried, dehydrated garlic is not the best … not only does it not have as much of a strong garlic flavour, most of it comes from Asia and specifically China where it is produced cheaply and under very shady circumstances.

Watch a Netflix documentary series called ‘Rotten’ … Season 1 Episode 3 is titled ‘Garlic Breath’ … and it details where a lot of cheap prepackaged garlic products come from … namely cheap Chinese prison labour where in some factories, prisoners are not allowed any sharp objects to peel the garlic by hand so they have to resort to using their fingernails, which they eventually wear out and then later resort to using their teeth.

After watching all that … I really took my time to search for a local farmer and pay double the amount for fresh garlic and I just buy the stuff in bulk now because it’s cheaper in the long run.

Sorry … garlic is almost automatic for me at this point when I cook, it’s almost like salt and pepper … I never think of it.

And I’m at the point where I buy about 20lbs of garlic from my local farmer every fall (I just bought my supply a couple of weeks ago) to last me the winter.

The trouble I have with most self made documentaries, program or shows online is CREDIBILITY

I need to know who made the program and where they got the information and what background they have … are they a professional in their field? Did they talk to professionals? Do they have any support, backing or endorsements?

And I need to know a bit about the person or people who made the program … not completely doxxing themselves but a bit of background of who they are and what their credentials are.

Without a bit of background and a bit of info about themselves up front … I’m always skeptical of the quality of the content they provide.

All I have to do is turn on their national news program to gauge just how dumb America is.

This is probably the reason why we haven’t had any alien contact from outer space. Aliens tune into our news networks, see just how stupid we are, especially Americans who are supposedly the wealthiest country and aliens just cringe, turn off the channel, place an intergalactic sign post just outside the orbit of Neptune warning everyone to stay away.

Years and years of training to use your feet to use a handgun … only to be undone by a dead wheelchair battery.

One of my favourite motorcycle images was in Malaysia … a young woman, with two other young women and six children all hanging on to one another and the women in various positions as they weaved through traffic. They all looked so calm and bored that it was obvious that they do this drive like this every day.

… ah fuck it … I’ll just cover over everything with shrink wrap … no one’s going to see this mess any way … yeah, just cover the entire thing with shrink wrap
