Don't forget his infrastructure and healthcare policies. He'll unveil them any day now. I predict two weeks.

Grayjay has been staying on top of it. Had several plugin updates lately.

He is only the candidate because of DEI. It would be discrimination to disqualify him based on his advanced age. Damn DEI.

My parents used to keep bread in the fridge and I hated it. It always sapped the moisture from the edges and made it stale. I don't know what kind of bread you buy, but mine stays fresh for a very long time on the counter.

Imo, freezing bread is the better option if you want to preserve it for long periods.

I've used Pandora for years. Granted, they don't have all of the features of Spotify. But, I think their algorithm is better and my price has never changed.

Cakewalk has been around for decades. It was a popular paid daw in the late 90s and 2000s. It became free a few years ago. Haven't used it lately. But, used it a lot many years ago. It was a top daw back in its day. I hear it's still pretty good.

I own several guns. I used to have a concealed carry permit because I traveled alone for work with expensive items. I let it lapse after I changed jobs. After sandy hook, I considered getting rid of all of my firearms because American gun culture started to disgust me. I mainly shoot air guns for plinking now. Haven't shot a firearm in years.

Now that maga has become such a presence, I'm considering getting a carry permit again. Gun culture still sucks. But, we can't let the crazies be the only ones who are armed.

The thing is, they don't know their being lied to. I think the big issue with many conservatives is that they are conditioned, basically from birth, to believe fantastical things as truth, without evidence. I.e. Bible stories as fact. Yes, Gabriel was swallowed by a whale. Of course Noah had all of the animals in the world on his boat. They learn to accept things at face value as long as it sounds good to them. This requires no critical thinking.

This is how you get otherwise intelligent people who believe right wing myths like high school kids identifying as cats and requiring litter boxes. They will believe anything as long as it confirms their biases. Belief = truth. I believe it, therefore it is true. It's this simple to them. You can present all the evidence in the world to counter any one of their ridiculous conspiracy theories, but they will never change. Because, to them, belief = truth.

From the best Floyd album, imo.

I'm sure it will release right along with his healthcare plan.

Amazing rendition of 'You Keep Me Hanging On' originally recorded by the Supremes.

When I first discovered Iron Maiden, I was initially drawn in by their powerful galloping riffs and melodic harmonies. I had never heard a voice as powerful as Bruce Dickinson’s or as raw as Paul Di’anno’s. I was hooked from the moment that I raided my brother’s tape collection and discovered the magic of Iron Maiden. However, it is the imagery invoked in their lyrics that I truly came to appreciate. In Where Eagles Dare you can envision yourself engaging in a fierce firefight as you infiltrate a nazi fortress. With the Flight of Icarus, you witness the demise of Icarus, first hand, as he arrogantly flies too close to the sun. To Tame a Land has a bunch of cool Dune shit.

But Quest for Fire takes on a subject that is seldom tackled in modern music. A time when the Earth was new, a mere 6000 years ago, when man walked among the dinosaurs. Imagine a time where life was cheap, food was scarce and, at any time, you could be ambushed by a cannibal tribe or tyrannosaurus rex. This was the way of life just a few short millennia before the birth of Christ.

There was but one element that could give you a great advantage in this uncertain era. That element was fire. With it, you could brave the bitter cold, defend yourself from cunning packs of velociraptors or fry some steaks. Loss of this precious tool could spell certain doom for your people. Who will restore the flame when the last ember dies? Who will return the life-saving warmth to the tribe? Who will embark on this quest for fire?

Ken Ham says that Quest for Fire is the most important song written, next to Amazing Grace. It details an important time in the truth of creation that is often overlooked. Iron Maiden brings it to us in a melodic package that helps us understand the struggles our distant ancestors endured in this savage time when the vigorous rubbing of sticks was taboo. Today, we take the element of fire for granted as It is the mere strike of a match or flick of a lighter away.

Have a seat, put on your headphones and listen to Quest for Fire. Witness the story of the dawn of our creation. Travel back in time by way of Iron Maiden’s greatest epic. Embark on your own quest for fire!

I know that 'Home' is the feed for all of your subs. But how do you just see a list so you can visit an individual sub?
