Last night when it slowed down to 15mph forward speed, (more time over the hot ass gulf) the forecasters said right way that it would most likely make cat 4. Earlier in the night it was moving at 18mph.

I got almost no rain out of the storm. It's all east of me. I did have a couple three pepper plants leaned over. I'm sure some limbs came down, but I haven't been anywhere but the garden this morning.

Glad to hear your safe man, i was surprised when they announce it went Cat4, me personally i was thinking Powerful Cat3, as in usually cases our hot ass gulf water changed that just like it did us a couple of years back...

Michael blew up on us. When we went to bed the night before they were saying strong cat 3 with out outside chance of cat 4. Next morning it was a cat 5 when it came ashore in Mexico Beach. We've never had water temps like this, so the models have a hard time guessing.

In Ireland during the Great Famine, a curse from the British, when things got really rough and they had eaten everything around that could provide a single calorie, even the dogs and the children's hamsters, they finally were left with no choice but to eat the cats.
This was they very last resort, because you see cats are revered in Ireland, sorta like a cow to a Hindu.
I know that it sounds pretty fucked up, but you have to do what you have to do, just like eating corned beef every March 17th.
It is still done to this day in some hamlets and each family had their own favorite means of preparation.
Some boiled them with the hair on for a special flavor, but do not over cook or kitty will come apart in the pot and that is not good.
Our family cookbook has a few recipes for cat, mine being braised with some shallots and garlic, crushed, a yellow turnip and 1 large white onion.
You also will need a handful of truffles if you want that engorged feeling.
Saute the veggies but roast the turnip and add to the peeled cat that is already simmering in it's own juices and a 1/2 bottle of a good Merlot.
Don't be cheap on the wine, your going to want a lot of it to really enjoy the tabby.
Cook for around 1-1 1/2 hours in a cast Dutch oven at a simmer until fork tender and your done.
Simple yet elegant
Right?

Hayes blasts ‘deranged’ GOP climate plan: ‘Hurl ourselves into the fire’

10,909 views Aug 30, 2023 #msnbc #republicans #climatechange
“The strategy is literally to just actively hurl ourselves into the fire. Let a thousand hurricanes bloom. It is deranged—but it is the consensus view of the Republican Party,” says Chris Hayes on “Project 2025,” the right-wing think tank plan to gut climate policy.

I'd try Dog if given the chance but I'm not sure i could try cat.

You North or Ireland? I was lucky enough to go to Ireland and Northern Ireland in the early 90s. Expensive place (i was backpacking) but i loved it. The people were so friendly. Had no trouble getting lifts hitch hiking.



Just came across a camel recipe. ;)

Lab work and future possibilities, a link to the paper is in the article. We are looking for possibilities attainable in a decade I figure and with the volume of capital flowing into the field, if this can be exploited, then things could happen, the pace of events in the field has accelerated quite a bit. There are significant breakthroughs every week in the battery field, a reflection of the high volume of R&D being done globally by tens of thousands of people. There is a lot of money to be made and everybody sees the writing on the wall for fossil fuels.

Redesigned zinc-air batteries ‘better’ than lithium, say Australian researchers

Researchers at Edith Cowan University in Australia have redesigned zinc-air batteries and have found the technology to be preferable to lithium-ion batteries – even for electric vehicles.
