  • I haven’t watched network or cable TV in years, so Stremio (properly “Arrr-ified”) is all I need. Works on Android, Win, Apple…

    Music? Any media player, though Bluetooth, to my Bluetooth receiver connected to my awesome 80’s Kenwood receiver, and I’m set. Music through the TV is a non starter for me. Discrete components, and good speakers. I don’t want my music processed 4 times before I hear it.


  • Print shops usually don’t have solvent printers, which are the type used for outdoor signs and stickers. Look for a sign making business.

    If you ask nicely, and explain that you don’t mind waiting until they have a waste space on their print queue, they may charge you very little or nothing.

    The reason for the explanation is to let them know that you know that when arranging jobs in the queue there are often waste spaces that they would discard anyway.












  • 1st. I’m an omnivore. You are too. We are not hevibores. It’s a survival trait. Rats, bears, and a few other animals are too. There is the question of choice, of course. I choose to remain what evolution has made me. That said, I try to eat as much free range meat/fish (I’m still trying to figure out the problem of aquaculture vs intensive and destructive fishing) as I possibly can.

    2nd. Animals are part of a freeding chain, except for a few, like us, Orcas, etc. who are apex predators.

    3rd. I don’t hunt anymore, but I still fish. I feel better if the animal, my adversary, is in somewhat even terms. Call it some twisted atavic logic, but to me it makes it ethically acceptable.

    BTW, I do get a pleasure from winning that fight, but I don’t derive pleasure from the death itself.

    Also, if minimizing the agony means that the animal has no chance, I know what I’d choose, having a chance.

    But that’s just me. However, just as I respect the choice of vegetarians and vegans, I do not acknowledge the rights of others judging me for being what evolution has made me. I do, however , try to be a “better” animal eater.




  • Spear fishing, or any traditional fishing method, forr food, is about as ethical as it gets. It’s a pretty even field. You’re out of your element, and using muscle power, while exerting yourself, while running out of oxigen.

    Trawling and other intensive methods are not.

    Bow hunting large animals, especially boar, which can be dangerous as all fuck, is also fine by me. Shooting small game with fucking 12 gauge, is not.
