[email protected] says my MacAfeeTotal Subscription has expired.

I didn't know that I had a MacAfeeTotal Subscription. This is some knowledge that I recently acquired.

There's a link in the e-mail to click for easy renewal. I bet if I follow the link and provide the information needed to renew this previously unknown subscription, I would be overwhelmed with a bunch more of Recently Acquired Knowledge.

One of my car warranties is about to expire.

Victor809 just called me about mine

I bought blockbuster instead of Netflix 🤦

Crows can memorize human faces

Wildlife biologists figured this out by conducting a simple experiment using rubber masks. A "caveman" mask, for example, designated a "dangerous" face while a mask of former Vice President ****** Cheney was "neutral." Researchers in the dangerous mask trapped and banded individual American crows and then released them. While they were careful not to harm the birds during trapping, "it's still a scary experience for the bird," Swift says.

To see whether the crows remembered the dangerous face, researchers returned to the area and walked around wearing the different masks. And when the birds saw the dangerous face, Swift says, "they would alarm-call, they would dive-bomb that person." The neutral face was mostly ignored.

The gender or body type of whoever was wearing the dangerous mask didn't much matter — the crows seemed to key in on the face. Researchers even flipped the mask upside down to see if the crows could still recognize it. "For a brief moment, the crows seemed a little confused, and then they would just tilt their head upside down and then they'd start an alarm-calling," Swift says.

Even crows that hadn't been tagged or banded scolded and dive-bombed the wearer of the dangerous mask. Swift says this suggests the crows "were actually learning from their peers that this particular person is dangerous."

And if you need another reason to be nice to crows, they can also remember faces for years.

corned beef in original New England Boiled Dinner...

"Before it was available in every supermarket in cryovac bags, cooks had to cure their own, submerging the beef for weeks in a brine made from salt and gunpowder (the latter contained in shells known as “corns,” hence the name). "

More people in the world have access to a cell phone than have access to a real toilet. Thus: Chit holes.

People in New England eat gun powder and waste perfectly good brisket.

Mom used to make corned beef and cabbage in the pressure cooker.

So damn good... with taters and carrots... mmmmmm...

Huh. Maybe I need to go get a corned beef brisket, some taters, carrots and cabbage and fire up da crock pot!

mmmmmmmmmmm,gunpowder...=p~

So let it be written... so let it be done. 4 lb corned beef brisket, 6 small golden taters, 6 small carrots, half an onion and a small head of cabbage stuffed into da crock pot. Dinner will be ready at 6pm.

Also doing a couple loads of laundry. I don't have a fancy driving gig like 8track, so I gotta do other stuff to stay busy. :-"

Watching the movie In the Heat of the Night (1967).

Movie takes place in 1966 Sparta, Mississippi. It is a real town, but not the town the movie was actually filmed.

Ironically, it was filmed in another Sparta. Sparta, Illinois.

Always thought a vehicle either had Shocks or Struts.
Turns out some vehicles have both.
Shocks are a 'couple hundred" to replace. Struts are over $1,000.

Wanna know why the price is much different??

Read it. Not sure how much I comprehend it. That said, always appreciate a Brother trying to help.

A situation is never to cruel as long as it is funny.

Watching Blue Planet.

We have very little knowledge of where Blue Whales travel... and no idea where they breed. And they are more than twice the size of any of the dinosaurs... so the largest thing to live on the planet. Now or ever... and they feed on one of the smallest. Plankton.

Strange, but true.

Shawnski.... Pressure cookers and crock pots aren't the same thing.

That's some knowledge you can say you recently acquired.

Dear Gerbski...

I knew that. I don't have a pressure cooker and I was in no hurry.
