teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
I hate shameless knockoffs. I searched Amazon for "yummy can" -- an As-Seen-On-TV potato cooker. It pulled up some selling for $20 and some selling for $15. So I order the cheaper one. I get it home, and the description on the box asks, "What's yummy and comes in a can," so it had marketing language like a genuine name-brand Yummy Can. But something didn't look right. So I go to the listing and find out that the $15 ones are a cheap Chinese knockoff. But with the description on the box, they're obviously trying to fool you into thinking it's an actual Yummy Can. So I returned it, part because the actual Yummy Can is only a few dollars more, and there's no way to tell if a clone is a good one or not. That, and I was just a bit peeved.
So I go to Menard's to return a fan I didn't want. And on the clearance shelf is Fresko brand sunflower oil at a decent price. I use sunflower oil for high-heat cooking because refined sunflower oil has a high smoke point. So I read the label and it just says "natural sunflower oil" under ingredients. So I tried Google to see if I could figure out whether this is refined oil or not. One of the first hits described the oil as having a high smoke point, and looked to be a major brand of sunflower oil. The only problem is that sunflower oil described online was branded "Fresco" with a 'c', not "Fresko" with a 'k'. I'll bet dollars to donuts the similarity of the brand name was no accident. Honestly, you have to be a detective these days to avoid getting ripped off with cheap clones. ![]() (July 29, 2025 at 3:33 pm)Fake Messiah Wrote:(July 29, 2025 at 12:43 pm)The Valkyrie Wrote: Heading to work.

I've been searching Amazon for new music. I'm lucky if I can find a band that I like 10% of their songs. No one's as good as REM

Watching the Twins lose yet another baseball game. It's hard rooting for a team that loses more often than they win.

My day was fine up until 5:00. Then, thanks to traffic delays, road construction, buses leaving early, and buses arriving late, a trip that was supposed to take an hour ended up taking an hour and forty minutes. I picked the wrong day to schlepp home a three-pound fillet of salmon.
