#joked with a buncha buddies who are pentiment fans (handshaking over obsidian properties) about how the fallout (heh) of the show is going#to be a nightmare for their social media- esp josh sawyer since he's so active#and it seems I was right but also frankly the best and most correct take of the show out of all of this

It Begins........
#we're finally past last frost date. It is Time.#raided the local nursery today- got a penstemon; cape fuschia; dwarf butterfly bush; a couple herbs; and a buncha random annuals#still need to Weed(tm) but I figured the pollinators would appreciate some more flowers already#already deadheaded and raked and got the big plants in the ground#i wanna get more agastache since the one I put in did well with our winter and its literally called hummingbird mint#and we wanna get more hummingbird specific flowers in here along with the bee/butterfly plants#and some lupines but that means getting up early as sin to hit up the more specialized nursery

"Bethesda/Todd Howard doesn't actually hate FNV 🙄"
They have stated the show is apparently 100% canon and they're using it to retcon the only good Fallout game to come out in decades. It wasn't even enough to ruin West Coast lore post-FNV, they're literally saying FNV never happened.
No wonder Pete Hines resigned back in October; even he thought this was stupid.
Bethesda haters stay correct. Anyone who somehow still had hope for this franchise despite the last ten years, now you can finally let go.
#fallout show spoilers#I don't think anyone of us had this on the bingo cards LMAO#I have seen some people argue they might've shoogled the dates around and this is still supposed to be post new vegas but like#them trying to retcon out new vegas would be the funniest possible thing to come out of the show#Heretofore unseen levels of salt from bethesda#also apparently some of the show lore potentially also retcons out fallout 2 which#the BALLS to go after not just new vegas but the classic games#like they don't think people would rather write off the bethesda fallout content as a whole and stick to 1 2 and new vegas as the canon

This scam made the California University study 124 imported oils and found that over 70% of samples failed the tests.
These failed:
- Mezzetta
- Carapelli
- Pompeian
- Primadonna
- Mazola
- Sasso
- Colavita
- Star
- Antica Badia
- Whole Foods
- Safeway
- Felippo Berio
- Coricelli
- Bertolli
These brands passed:
- Corto olive
- Lucero
- McEvoy Ranch Organic
- Omaggio
- California Olive Branch
- Bariani Olive oil
- Lucini
- Ottavio
- Olea Estates
- Cobram Estate
- Kirkland Organic
Also, test the olive oil yourself at home. Put the bottle out when cold, or in the fridge for 30 min. if it gets solid, it is pure and has monounsaturated fats.

this is a real scandal
Ain’t that a bitch
They selling fake olive oil.
talesofthestarshipregeneration
they been selling fake olive oil from the time of the ancient Greeks and Romans
http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2007/08/13/slippery-business This is a cool article on how they do it now and what they tend to substitute it with.
In 1997 and 1998, olive oil was the most adulterated agricultural product in the European Union, prompting the E.U.’s anti-fraud office to establish an olive-oil task force. (“Profits were comparable to cocaine trafficking, with none of the risks,” one investigator told me.) The E.U. also began phasing out subsidies for olive-oil producers and bottlers, in an effort to reduce crime, and after a few years it disbanded the task force. Yet fraud remains a major international problem: olive oil is far more valuable than most other vegetable oils, but it is costly and time-consuming to produce—and surprisingly easy to doctor. Adulteration is especially common in Italy, the world’s leading importer, consumer, and exporter of olive oil. (For the past ten years, Spain has produced more oil than Italy, but much of it is shipped to Italy for packaging and is sold, legally, as Italian oil.) “The vast majority of frauds uncovered in the food-and-beverage sector involve this product,” Colonel Leopoldo Maria De Filippi, the commander for the northern half of Italy of the N.A.S. Carabinieri, an anti-adulteration group run under the auspices of the Ministry of Health, told me.
In Puglia, which produces about forty per cent of Italy’s olives, growers have been in a near-constant state of crisis for more than a decade. “Thousands of olive-oil producers are victims of this ‘drugged’ market,” Antonio Barile, the president of the Puglia chapter of a major farmers’ union, told me, referring to illegal importations of seed oils and cheap olive oil from outside the E.U., which undercut local farmers. Instead of supporting small growers who make distinctive, premium oils, the Italian government has consistently encouraged quan-tity over quality, to the benefit of large companies that sell bulk oil. It has not implemented a national plan for oil production, has employed a byzantine system for distributing agricultural subsidies, and has often failed to enforce Italian laws and E.U. regulations intended to prevent fraud. The government has been so lax in pursuing some oil crimes that it can seem complicit. In 2000, the European Court of Auditors reported that Italy was responsible for eighty-seven per cent of misappropriated E.U. subsidies to olive-oil bottlers in the preceding fifteen years, and that the government had recovered only a fraction of the money.
I’ve been reading Extra Virginity: The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil by Tom Mueller, and wow, the things that get sold as ‘extra virgin’ olive oil are kind of scary, especially if you have any allergies. Or if you’re trying to use olive oil for health reasons – you’re likely paying a premium for something with none of the benefits you’re looking for.
Also, you could write at least 8 different genre novels about skullduggery in the olive oil trade, starting with a murder mystery and working your way out, because there’s just so much to unpack.
Well, that explains the rash of migraines/respiratory issues I had last month. I was cooking everything in whole foods oil and couldn’t figure it out. If it was cut with canola oil then there’s my answer. Son of a bitch.
(“Profits were comparable to cocaine trafficking, with none of the risks,” one investigator told me.)
YO FUCK THESE GUYS my mom is allergic to corn and some of them were cut with corn oil. We very aggressively research any oil we purchase now.
I tried to click on the original article and got sent to a weed site, but here’s a Forbes article from 2016
Some of these old games go wayyyyy back… :/

The Longest Johns - Hoist Up The Thing 2020
The Longest Johns are a British folk musical group from Bristol, consisting of Andy Yates, Jonathan "JD" Darley, and Robbie Sattin. They are known for performing folk music and sea shanties in the English tradition, and they also compose and record their own music.

This recording, as well as the one used in the bands' Sea of Thieves series "Open Crewsing" would later fuel the sea shanty viral trend, principally on TikTok, in early 2021.
"Hoist Up The Thing" received a total of 76,3% yes votes!

i just had perhaps the most scuffed dungeon run in ffxiv ever
queue into leveling roulette and get copperbell mines with a scholar, archer and a red mage
on the first pull i start lagging like hell then when all the enemies are gone it stops
the party then realizes, our scholar, Cactuar Jeff, is afk, so at this point im thinking "well, i've done this dungeon tankless before so how hard can healerless be"
we get to the first boss and about 30 seconds in, Cactuar Jeff teleports into the boss arena, and I pop off
however, he still doesnt do shit, but remember how he's a scholar?
fortunately he happened to have eos summoned, so he would just teleport into each boss arena and let eos do his job for him, so cactuar jeff gets rewarded at the end of the dungeon for clicking yes 3 times throughout the dungeon lmao
(for the record i think we could've done it without eos but her help is very much appreciated)
#op has a reply saying they didn't know votekicking was a thing so fair enough#reminder for anyone else tho: not only is afk a valid reason for votekick I'm pr sure this is also reportable as trolling#it takes maybe a minute tops to fill out a gm report#remember kids its only snitching if its the cops- if its a reportable offense there's nothing wrong with reporting as often as you like#the tools for community self regulation are there for a reason

This beautiful, impressive home was supposedly built in 1993. If so, they really made it look like a Victorian. Located in Romulus, MI, it has 3bds, 3ba, $699,900. The thing is, you have to try to look past the decor to actually see the house.
