No, it's an old slogan from the educational bit of the show: "And now you know, and knowing is half the battle." Thanks to your post, I understand that cactus leather isn't made just by skinning and tanning the prickly little beasts
And now I know. I love the image of rows of folks skinning prickly pear cactus the way shearers shear sheep. (Six shearers sheepishly shear shy silly sheep. I was never good with tonguetwisters featuring s.)
Well, they finally got Uncle Homer. My company issued a press release today written by... ChatGPT. I did some editing but that was more to justify the perceived inadequacies of AI more than any actual flaws in the content. Shit, it saved my marketing team a few labor hours to be redirected elsewhere so... stone the crows?
I guess I won't mention the flock of wild geese that wandered a little too close to one of the kitchen doors a few years ago. Only one of them ended up on the menu. The rest got away. And, yes, that is a true story. Chef took it out with his pistol. This was in New Hampshire where public gunshots aren't a thing.
" ... is your friend", especially "Google is your friend". If you don't know the answer to the question I asked, just say so. I know who my friends are.
I don't know the answer to the question you just asked. I didn't even see the question. Are we friends now?

I’m equally annoyed at both Republicans and Democrats these days. The political situation probably shouldn’t annoy me, when all I need to do is tune out all the bs (read: news) and go on enjoying life. I’m a Libertarian - and don’t lean either way (I’m too liberal for the right; too conservative for the left). Now, I get particularly annoyed, when I get into the “I am right and everyone else is wrong” mode - or, when I think that Trump and Biden both suck. It may be true that the polarization and division in this country is out of control. Well, I can help fix it. I can love my neighbor, go to church, go to work everyday, engage in my hobbies and do some community service. I happen to believe that we all make the world the way it is. I can’t help fix it by complaining or calling others stupid. Maybe the thing for me to do - when I get annoyed - is remember what Jesus Christ would do. He was all about love. “Let him whom hath no sin cast the first stone.” I’m a sinner, too and have absolutely no business tearing others down - even Trump and Biden. The situation shouldn’t annoy me, as long as I focus on Christ. Go America and keep the faith. - Grogu
It's bad enough when you don't recognize the names of almost all entertainment industry folks in headlines and stories (this headline may as well be Sanskrit for me: Miami Heat's Jimmy Butler teams up with Tiafoe to take on Alcaraz, Sebastián Yatra in tennis charity event), but you know you're getting have gotten old when you've never heard of two-thirds of the quarterbacks in the NFL.
Not knowing entertainment and sports personalities may be less a function of age than of disinterest. If I didn't idly read magazine cover headlines while waiting in line at the grocery store, I might never have known Charlie had finally been crowned king of England. Of course, I did feel a shift in the universe when Elizabeth died, so might've drawn the obvious conclusion.
I’ve been disconnected from pop culture for a long time, but I might have to finally watch The Office so I can get all the “Looking for the Jim to my Pam” references on people’s dating profiles
While they are entitled to their beliefs. What they are saying has led to things like the crusades, and terrorism. Religious beliefs are a good thing. Fanatical religious beliefs are a source of evil in the world. A look at the history of the Jewish people, shows many clear examples of the evils religious extremism can foster. The inquisition, with its convert or die mentality is one example. And spawned a group who professed the Christian faith in public, yet we're recorded in history as the secret jews.
One can't win arguments with anyone who is convinced his or her ideologies are right and good. Calm, reasonable people can be every bit as inflexible and willing to inflict their ideologies on others as fanatics are. They just do so in a more sociably acceptable manner than picking fights in public.
Sure, but only ideologues follow it suicidally without flex, context, or common sense. Believe whatever you want--i got no beef with that--but filtering everything through it like some kind of monolith is just dumb.
