That's why we're old and not gone. A looong time ago, after much thought on the subject, I decided God gave us instincts and man gave us reason. Who do we trust? I remember a movie with Robert Duvall who was an old and very capable guy and said to a potential adversary, "I'm old for a resaon".
I can't for the life of me remember the movie, but he was standing in the doorway of a cabin when he said it. The move was about modern times, late 20th, early 21st century. May have been "Assassination Tango".
They should be proud that something was telling them this is a unique event AND there is something fishy going on…… Call it that good old GUT feeling from experience….. Perhaps the unvaccinated have a better BS detector ( we could re-name the Fauci Antenna).
My take on it was the needle against one with either a 9mm. or .45" bore and the usual Dirty Harry, "Do you feel lucky?" Fortunately we have a VERY good physician who knows how we feel about BS medicine.
Snopes assures me that there's no way cricket DNA could've entered my genome. But I did just jump from my front door to the mailbox in one leap, and I wasn't even trying. That's unusual for a man in his late 50s. It gives me pause.
Seeing cricket powder in an ingredients list of a food I bought would make me hopping mad. But I get it. The real food is getting expensive and cricket powder makes it a bit chirper...er...cheaper.
So much truth here Docs Malone! Just horrifying really but so grateful for you and your truth telling and sharing! We will get through this…..together and with God! 🙏🏻✝️🛐💟
I love Sundays here with all of you, Thanks Dr. Malone!!
Life is practice. Looking back the saying who have I become, comes to mind. As a younger man a possible unkind action done to “get ahead”, “move forward”, or “gain status”, may have been tolerable then. As my youth has long since past I find these uncaring decisions unacceptable. I would say that as I’ve aged, that saying, who have I become, takes on a much deeper meaning. People that continually ignore the harms they do to others will surely not experience growth in character or worse. Asking for or giving forgiveness, is a sure sign of personal increase. I do pray that as my life goes on I am able to acknowledge my mistakes. It’s no wonder that for many of us, as our time here continues to diminish, we realize that God becomes closer than ever in our lives. To die is to be human. These two inevitable conclusions should connect and guide us as we age and mature. J.Goodrich
Yep… everything is meant to destabilize, confuse and separate. The ‘western-world' is upside down and God is shaking it to see who will continue to be faithful to Him and to His Word. "Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen”
Yep!!! My Lovely Bride is V.P. New Energy. She thinks wind is stupid. The major corporation She works just allocated $500 million to research/fund My idea. I’m like Hey, where is My cut🤣. Ed
Edit - Another idea…technology not there yet…How do You store the energy from a lightning bolt strike? Get stuck in My head for a day😁.
I have 4 panels & 2 batteries for emergencies. They need full sun to charge anything, maybe 4-6 hours a day, not just the presence of sun. Solar scammers don't want you to know that.
Since we're rural and have an all electric house with a well that's electric, we'd looked at solar with storage batteries, but took a pass in favor of a propane generator and a 1000 gallon buried tank. Also have a nice creek on our property and the water can easily be purified if and when.
Nealstar, tell me more about your buried tank. Ours is ugly, considering burying it. What do you have to do, anything?, to prevent corrosion of the tank? What is the pit lined with to protect it? thx.
We haven't done it yet, waiting for the weather to break. We're looking at a new tank, they are heavily coated and burying them is pretty common so a casual observer won't know what we have. Hole has to be excavated and usual practice is to set them on a bed of gravel and only have the filler, gauges, etc. visible. We started on the propane alternative over a year ago and have been kissing pigs finding a contractor but are finally with the right people. Don't have a bid for excavation yet as we haven't finalized. I'd imagine from other excavation we've had that it would cost a couple thousand, including the trench for the pipe to the house and the hookup. Since we live in the Rockies, it's complicated by boulders. If you live in the flat lands with that beautiful black soil, it could easily be less. Sorry I can't be more help at this time.
What are the rich and infamous going use for energy 30, 100, 600 years from now if they don't start saving the oil and natural gas for the future. Larry Fink (great name for a fink) has been buying stock in the newer Saudi oil lines. BlackRock also has major shares in the coal industry. They ain't stupid.
Tyson believes cricket protein is the best new thing since white sliced bread! They forgot to ask Jimmy! They have shut down chicken plants to gear up cricket production!
My youngest brother blames Siri every time a text of his doesn't make sense. I had a text issue last week when answering my son's text do you need anything at the store. I text back cartoon of eggs and rice chex. Before I hit send I had to change cheese back to chex. Even that did not work. Son showed up with a bag of rice and a bag of cheese (cheddar). I never put Siri on my phone as it is not connected to the internet in anyway, but it still like to correct me.
Just today, my brother asked me about a "bio-engineered" ingredient in his favorite crackers (one of the many Ritz varieties - toasted chips sour cream & onion) I asked him to send a screen shot of the list of ingredients & below the list, it simply says, "Contains a Bio-Engineered Food Ingredient". I told him to call customer service & ask them directly. Maybe it is this cricket powder?
Whatever works best for each situation. I don’t know the comparative ROI for sheep farming versus vegetable (or other ground crops) farming. I guess location, local climate/ growing zone, soil condition etc. would all factor in the choice.
OK, just got off the erg, ½ marathon, so I may still be in O2 recovery mode (not really, HR is already back to high resting rate), so take this with a scoop of acheta "flour," none of today’s panels pissed me off - not the ones pointing out asinine democrats, leftists, marxists (sorry, sometimes I get all repetitious); nor the ones pointing how "right" I and like minded virtuous voters have been, in fact the first 4, 5 even got a snicker out of me —- much appreciated.
That said, I’m not grossed out over acheta powder/acheta "flour" or the like, so long as it meets the same manufacturing safety regulations as, say, kale or tofu (keep in mind, this takes into account the number of incidents of e. coli contamination over the past couple decades). For a new product, one that will be met with heightened skepticism from the general public, heightened oversight should be the standard, not just as good as…TBH, I’ve even looked in to buying a ½ kilo or so just to slowly experience it. Will it ever replace the non-chirping protein in my freezer - not on the horizon; but, I am a strong advocate for mandating such supplementation for those groups who want to take away my right and access to a well marbled steak or a cedar plank grilled slab of salmon — I say kudos to these people, the more crickets they consume ( 🤔 can’t quite say "eat") the more meat with an friendly face is left for me.
Notice I didn’t give my imprimatur of acceptance where the actual crickets are concerned — I ain’t there yet and at my age, it is doubtful I ever will be 🤢. And that’s Regardless of how much chocolate they use to camouflage it with — there are much better uses of (dark) chocolate.
Cinco de Mayo, y’all. Talk about cultural appropriation: a bunch of inebriated gringos "celebrating" a holiday that was virtually unheard south of the border of until XX needed to sell more suds north of the border.
"Shouldn't all the unvaccinated be dead by now?" Nice meme.
I do not know of a single unvaccinated individual who ever regretted his/her decision.
I thank the Lord for the good instincts he blessed me with every day.
That's why we're old and not gone. A looong time ago, after much thought on the subject, I decided God gave us instincts and man gave us reason. Who do we trust? I remember a movie with Robert Duvall who was an old and very capable guy and said to a potential adversary, "I'm old for a resaon".
Great line !!!!

I don't recall being dead, but I'll check.
Ever see that white light a the end of a tunnel?
My take on it was the needle against one with either a 9mm. or .45" bore and the usual Dirty Harry, "Do you feel lucky?" Fortunately we have a VERY good physician who knows how we feel about BS medicine.
Neither do I, Ned!
I loved the Tranny one with Al, never saw one until about 10 years or so ago. About the time they closed all the asylums...
thank you for the warning about cricket powder. I just ordered flour and hope it is not in there!
Great selection as usual.
Snopes assures me that there's no way cricket DNA could've entered my genome. But I did just jump from my front door to the mailbox in one leap, and I wasn't even trying. That's unusual for a man in his late 50s. It gives me pause.
Or, perhaps, paws 🐾🐾🐾🐾
That is some kind of a big leap alright
You're being silly cause crickets don't jump that far, but grasshoppers do!
Me thinks Mr Lord is doubling up his nightly (light) blue pill with his acheta bars-- extra blood flow.
Seeing cricket powder in an ingredients list of a food I bought would make me hopping mad. But I get it. The real food is getting expensive and cricket powder makes it a bit chirper...er...cheaper.
You're killing me with laughter! 🤣
Cricket powder is not cheap.
Maybe not, but my guess is that it must be cheaper than real food else the greedy corporate food processors wouldn't be using it as filler.
So much truth here Docs Malone! Just horrifying really but so grateful for you and your truth telling and sharing! We will get through this…..together and with God! 🙏🏻✝️🛐💟
Yeah.. I wish Dr Alexander would get off his anti- Malone rant…. I think he’s jealous….
And probably much more... devious and psychopathic come to mind.
True That!!! Ed
I love Sundays here with all of you, Thanks Dr. Malone!!

The sunflower vs solar panels was poignant and too real. A red pill more need to ingest.
Reports keep coming out that wind/solar cannot provide the needed energy and yet they keep taking te sources that can off line. Stupid
Yep, although I believe it's a lot worse than stupid.

Thanks for all the detail. When you get 'er done, it would be nice to know more.

My bet: gas powered turbines will be implemented to make up the difference; for investors Solar Turbines (Catepiller subsidiary) might be a good bet.
Spot on, Drs. Malone 🐶 Thank you both, especially for the Acheta powder warning.
We used to say, "this is not cricket" to mean "behavior that's not fair, honest or moral:".
Now Acheta powder and Snopes say "this is not cricket" 🙈🦗🙈🦗 (double-speak!)
And when we call or write our representatives about what's happening, what do we get?
Yep, crickets all the way down...along with turtles all the way down...

Autocorrect, right?
It happened to me initially until I wrangled the AI grammarian into a position of submission - take that Siri (Ha! Toxic masculinity, bring it on)
My youngest brother blames Siri every time a text of his doesn't make sense. I had a text issue last week when answering my son's text do you need anything at the store.

Here it's my keyboard. Treacherous devil. If I can't edit it has a field day.
putting anything in quotes solves the problem: "chex"
You have a highly refined sense of whimsy.
Yikes!

I told him to call customer service & ask them directly. Maybe it is this cricket powder?
I wonder what it would take for people to just say the heck with this, I'm removing those solar panels and planting crops so my family doesn't starve?
In fact some have planted ground crops underneath solar panels to get double benefit from the land. This practice began not that long ago...It is getting serious attention in several quarters. https://www.wired.com/story/growing-crops-under-solar-panels-now-theres-a-bright-idea/
Most solar farms run sheep under the panels. They “mow” the grass and can be sold for meat.
Whatever works best for each situation. I don’t know the comparative ROI for sheep farming versus vegetable (or other ground crops) farming. I guess location, local climate/ growing zone, soil condition etc. would all factor in the choice.
Chirp, Chirp, chirp.
