OT: Anything Goes 41

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

One thing I always wondered with eating game meat, don’t you have to worry about diseases/viruses/bacteria/etc…in that wild meat that is most likely not going to be found in higher quality store bought meat? Seems like the gamble would be high especially storing it and prepping it yourself.

Otherwise very little problem with hunting. I’ve been wanting to do it for a while. It seems like an important experience to have, killing an animal yourself and eating it. I’d imagine it’d make me better appreciate that something that was alive is now dead just so I can enjoy a burger or a halibut filet.

As long as you're processing/storing/prepping the meat properly, the risk shouldn't be that high. Maybe higher than store bought food, but I don't know how much higher.

Thankfully, I do this with people who have been doing it their whole lives, so they help me out a ton.

There are times when say the disease where they slowly bleed to death from a virus from a mosquito bite that is something to be careful of. It wipes the herds of deer out. And chronic wasting. But we send a sample to DNR to check for that as they want to know if it is around. You are pretty safe.

Have you ever driven by feed lots? It’s a terrible life for the animal and they have to treat them for disease there often as they are packed together. It is good to know where your food comes from. 99% of the people don’t. Like many fruita and veggies are made ‘ripe’ by pumping ethylene gas into storage as they are picked well before ripe. Not bad for you per se but something to know. All plants already have that in them already but food for thought.

This morning I did my first ever Black Friday in-person shopping.

Never done it before, and I will never do it again.

Was in line for a great grill on sale. Two guys jumped in line and ended up getting the last two right before me.

People are too big of assholes for me to ever want to do that again.

I went with friends when I was 15 or 16 and saw someone punch someone over an Xbox One. We were at Best Buy and my buddy got one. Never went again.

I wouldn't have minded punching the dude who cut in front of me and got the last one, but I figured nothing good was going to come out of that.

Never been interested in doing black friday other than online stuff.

Me either, but this grill was on sale for $300, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try to get it.

Would have loved seeing you go viral.

I've never done black friday either. Never understood people subjecting themselves to that or waiting in line for hours on thanksgiving just to save a couple hundred bucks on meaningless consumer items.

This is usually how I approach it. But I've been waiting a pellet grill, and I couldn't pass up the chance to get one for $600 off. But I learned my lesson. It'll never happen again.

Just bought a new tv. Hopefully it’s easy to setup. Admittedly I f***ing suck with technology

It's cake unless you're mounting it yourself.

Vermont winter sunsets are pretty awesome.

Still easy. Stud finder, a drill, and a mounting kit off amazon. Thirty minutes tops.

Easy for some people. Probably not so easy for people who don't know what a stud finder is.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Mounting it will be no issue. More worried about setting the damn tv up.
