Are people so fricking stupid, that they need artificial dyes to make their food taste better? Is that how far our American society has come, that we need brightly colored Fruit Loops to make eating them more enjoyable and want to buy more?

I’m in food manufacturing, and with a different company years ago we sold a major baked cherry item. Said item contained red dye to make the filling more vibrantly red. We developed a replacement item with only cherries and beet derived color (since cherries brown somewhat when cooked) and sent it to consumer testing.

The product failed because it wasn’t electric red enough. It takes time to change consumer perception.

My whole family has a set of yard shoes and socks in the garage treated with permethrin. That’s a great protection, and few ticks will make it past the sock.

I keep a border between the yard and woods. Treat yard twice per year when the bees are low (after clover bloom).

Dogs take Bravetco.

You should really try to wait for storm season to be over before starting. See if your contractor can wait until early June.

I do way too much, but it works.

Voltaren is a good suggestion, but you’d really benefit from some Knees Over Toes Guy stuff.

Backwards walking up a slight hill would probably make a big difference for you.

Somewhere around 2017 I found a podcast with one of the original creatine researchers.

Game changer for me was to make as a HOT beverage. Blends the creatine and no more disaster pants.

Mug: Creatine and 4oz hot water. Microwave for 45 sec.

Add something with flavor.

Slam.

Got almost through one tube and broke out like crazy (had been applying to chest, lats, and thighs).

Little bumps took about 5wks to go away.

Want to try the second tube, but I’ll wait till after my next beach vacation

I’ve been aligned to US manufacturing for 17yrs and visited plants all over America. Generally, you can’t reliably staff a plant at any salary. These people can’t pass drug tests, show up at work drunk, and hop from plant to plant capitalizing on sign on bonuses. It’s a societal problem in America that needs to be solved.

Also, any new manufacturing is going to be highly automated. That adds far less jobs, but the jobs are generally pretty technical and far better paying.

Agricultural products that can’t be made in USA, even if ultimately packed in USA. Cashews are a good example, most of the world’s supply goes through Vietnam.

Well he was pretty tight with the gay yacht guy in the last season in his younger days.
