Yeah, okay, that was in really poor taste, but any of you smartasses who deny having a similar thought about it is lying.  :smiley_thefinger:

I bet the explosives taste even worse.  :smiley_bagonhead:

You just know there's at least one Marine out there who has licked a brick of C4 on a dare or while bored on deployment.
I don't know a Marine who has...but I know a former EOD tech who wouldn't confirm he had, but did state that it tastes bad even with Tobasco.

My platoon in the Corps went to train with eod. But really it was just an excuse to blow up an old cement rappelling tower that had fallen down.  We helped them form a basketball of c4. And we flipped this massive concrete structure 100 feet in the air and then it flipped. Huge blast. Fun day.

But when we got back to our barracks. Everyone started emptying their pockets to brag about how much c4 we each had stolen. Lmao. It literally was a small coffee can full. Then these savages started to try to get small bits of it to explode. Guys were stomping on it. And all sorts of stupid shit. Nobody got a lift off. And our sgt (one of the stupid stompers) finally took it all and disposed of it. But one blasting cap and wed have had a field day! Lol.

I dont recall licking it. But im sure we all did at some point. Marines right?!!! Lol.

In addition to higher expense for the farmers will be the higher expense in tracking which meat is CA compliant and which isn't. Greater complexity in distribution systems often leads to greater vulnerability.

The law impacted other types of meat as well. The pork industry is just lagging behind worse than the other types of meat.

Even with stable distribution systems, this will further strain lower income families. Double the cost of all my food and I'll be ticked, but I can afford it. Add 30% to the cost of meat for a large family already on a very tight budget, and they may be really hurting.

Have you seen the price of chicken?!! At least here in cali its gone from 79 cents to $1.79 to $2.50 a lb. Its crazy. A package of chicken costs $9! I couldnt imagine having a large family right now.

There's a nice 2 story craftsman for sale up here one block over from me and 2 blocks from a microbrewery. I'd help ya unload the moving truck and have a big pack of bacon waiting for you.  :drinking01:

Man, that's rough.  Food's up here, but not nearly that bad; chicken's still $2/lb for boneless skinless breasts.  (Up to $4.50 for schmancy organic free-range etc.)

Well, I dunno about a microbrewery, but I know a nice suburban place a couple hours from the coast I could get Moab a line on...;)

Welcome home! We are glad to have you here. Put your feet up; stay awhile.

Folks you are on your own...Plan and act accordingly!

I will never claim to have all the answers. Depending upon the subject; I am also aware that I may not have all the questions much less the answers. As a result I am always willing to listen to others and work with them to arrive at the right answers to the applicable questions.

That's the back up in case the tree is occupied.

My favorite  expression was always " I want to live so far back , that when I see a truck  on the road five miles out . I know I have visitors coming.

I don't get the question.

If there's a sink outside, it's for cleaning birds and such.

If there's no sink, just get some more dirt on your hands to cover the germs.  :icon_crazy:

Okay, but that means you're gonna have to pick it up and fling it off the porch like any other monkey would do.
