On the subject of Micheal Bay, I was surprised he had produced A Quiet Place.

"Produced" can mean anything from "just threw money at it" to "essentially backseat directed" given its Bay I'm going with the former.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.

Poached eggs shouldn't be measured in square meters of surface coated in egg products.

How often do you eat fast food exactly? You mention McDonald's a lot. There's not enough nutrition in those restaurants to sustain a hamster long term, let alone a human.


Err, once a week, or once every 2 weeks.

Most of the time it's either homecooked food (all you can eat meat and vegetables), or food court's food. I usually eat 2 bowls of rice.

As an aside, I seem to remember hearing on the news -- was it an interview with one of the Pythons (Eric Idle?) -- that that's the most popular song for Brits to have at funerals.

I have no idea... when I am hungry, I basically eat anything. Even in the conscript days I was the only one that enjoyed the combat MREs.

Though I admit, there were days when the camp food is just... ugh.




On a side note, another weird dream from a few days back. I was on NS again, and whenever I hit Preview, it actually submitted into the forum.

So imagine my surprise when I was RPing on F7 and I did 8-10 edits for some reason, then I was *warned for spamming* because I was doing multiple posts.

There are a few bad ones, but the ones I have gotten are pretty good! Though, the very thing that I love, others hated. Hated so much so that one guy was caught NOT eating any because it was awful for him.

I guess I was just too tired. Or too hungry. Or just love eating in a forest. :P I remembered waking up at 6 AM (or an hour before reveille) to eat the food.
