![I've found out how to make gourds edible - 2021/02/05
Over the last few weeks I've been experimenting with gourds almost nonstop looking to find a way to turn them around for a profit. I've come up empty. But out of hunger and sheer boredom, I did find a way to make a moderately edible dish out of your standard, thanksgiving table, ornamental gourds.
Here's the recipe:
* Cut all the knobs and warts off the gourd with a knife. Then use a potato peeler to take the skin off. This is really difficult and doesn't need to be perfect, but the less skin the better.
* Fill a large pot with 8 cups water, one cup apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup salt, and a bay leaf. Stir. Bring this to a rolling boil and add up to four gourds. Put a lid on the pot and boil on high for three hours.
* Remove the gourds and place on a baking sheet. Cut them in half and sprinkle them with generous amounts of salt and paprika.
* Broil on the top rack for 30 minutes, flipping half way through.
* Remove and cut into cubes. Serve over rice.
RHODIUM IS SKYROCKETTING!! INVEST NOW FOR ULTIMATE PROFIT!! - 2021/02/01
This post is an image showing the price of Rhodium increasing suddenly.
Commenter 1: Y'know that old expression, "Buy low, sell high?"
Investing at the top is how you lose money, not make it.
OOP: Wrong. It will only go up. I expect it will reach 40k by mid-April.
Commenter 2: That may be, but Rhodium is a fickle bitch
People following metals for a while know that Rhodium makes these moon shots every once in a while and crashes just as quickly.
There was a run up at this time last year, and it crashed in March.
I see it testing $10,000 again before it goes to $40k.

I have just received Uruguayan citizenship and I have some questions - 2021/01/27
Hello Uruguay! My mother (wife to a Uruguayan man) has claimed her citizenship, and because of that I now have it. I have lived in Oklahoma all my life, but I speak Spanish quite well and know some of the Uruguayan culture through my stepfather. Right now I am in a not very nice situation with my finances and I want a fresh start, so I plan to move to Uruguay in March. I have never visited your country, and I am a little worried about the transition.
- How is Melo? I have acquaintances in that city, so I'm thinking of living there at first.
- I don't have many strengths, but I have worked for a year in a supermarket. What industry has the most opportunities for foreigners? He preferred to work in the fields, or at least outdoors.

How is the legality of informal beekeeping? - 2021/03/04
I'm from the US and you can keep bees here without many rules. My cousin has some beehives in his garden and they produce a good amount of natural honey. I am moving to uruguay soon, and I want to become something of an amateur beekeeper. What I want to know is if there are any regulations or whatever regarding beekeeping. Thank you!

unbelievable, makes me so furious. the lying filth at DHS claim she “used her vehicle to block in agents, honking her horn,” and that she “struck an unmarked government vehicle” as agents were departing. they sideswiped a car then dragged its driver into the street, it's plain as day in this video!
NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.
Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.
She was later released with NO CHARGE.
A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

That didn’t take much.. I am now a Trump Stroke Truther
Very convincing thread arguing the President had a stroke that is being covered up.
I am not saying that a stroke like this is disqualifying for the office of the presidency, not at all. Neuro recovery is a remarkable and individual thing.
But like, it is very clearly what's going on here.
