That's not pink because of Himalayan salt

That's pink because of a questionable life choice I am making

Damn, I think this is an insanely delicious thing, especially when you make it like this just for yourself.
By the way, because of how addictive some tasty thing can be — especially when it’s actually pretty healthy — I’d probably end up eating about 2.2 pounds of it a day.
 
I think I’ve developed some kind of problem.
I don’t play video games that often — maybe an hour or an hour and a half a couple of times a week.
Lately it’s been even less, and sometimes I don’t play games at all for months.

And you know what?
I’ve become absolutely terrible at online games. Like, really bad — everyone just beats me.

Recently I tried playing Arc Raiders on a friend’s recommendation.
Well… I sucked there too. Badly.

The only way I could win a gunfight was by saying “Don’t shoot me” in voice chat or using something like that.
I’d say it, and then just shoot people.

Is that a shitty thing to do?
Yeah.


But I’m so bad that I literally can’t beat anyone honestly.

I even got killed by a 13-year-old kid when I tried to trick him the same way.
He walked up to my character, started mocking me, and yelled something into the mic.

I don’t play online games anymore, because even little kids beat me.


Damn…

🥺
 
I was making a lot of venison and beef jerky for a while when I first got my smoker. I also grow several varieties of hot peppers like ghost, Carolina, Scorpions, and ect. I just got a cheap 20$ blade coffee grinder and dedicated it to chopping up the peppers. It worked good, especially on dried or smoked peppers. It pays for itself by if only once it saves you once from wiping your eyes or god forbid going to the bathroom with that stuff on your hands.

I have a voltage conversion transformer and a Delta wye transformer between them. Pretty well isolated.

So I dropped 10 grand on a "phaze perfect" voltage regulated three phase inverter phase converter to feed it delicious tasty utility grade pure sine wave.

If this doesn't work, we're looking at maybe needing to move out of the compound and into a shop in town with access to better power options.

A 5,000 square foot workshop in Mooresville runs about 1 million.

Is it bad that I'm now dreaming about CPK? 7 this morning I'm jarred wide awake. Nathan, did you ever get and connect batteries to that UPS? If not, when there is a power issue, it will want to transfer to battery to maintain the power to the load. But if there are no batteries it will have no choice but to switch to internal bypass (if it has one) and pass the utility power directly to the load, or just trip out and shut down.

I think I'm beginning to develop some kind of an anxiety disorder
