Hot key the button to turn your mic on and off to also pause your music. That way you can listen to your tunes during Mike’s presentation and not bother paying any attention to him.

Not so easy, it's a new thing that some silo has to take ownership of with no added operational budget.

You want a piece of that?

if he likes low murder rates he should be, he is helping. Of course I would claim justifiable homicide. But that probably will be determined by a court of law.

You still have us, but is it going to be enough? As far as I know, you are the only one here with your specific area of knowledge.

That being said, I do like trains and other forms of public transport.

Okay, the new batch of sauerkraut is in the jars and in the basement to ferment. I did one jar with caraway seeds. :)

The curing salt arrived today, so it's homemade corned beef tomorrow.
