Let me give you the Business Idea for the New Millennium

Baking mixes for people who like weed-laced treats.

They'll be like regular brownie mix or cookie mix or whatever other mix you like, but on the package it'll tell you how much cannabis to put in for the proper effect. Sell them in dispensaries and make a fortune.

Tool-less? These are the tools you absolutely need around the house

1. Cordless drill. Absolutely essential even if you don't plan on doing any drilling.
2. Set of drill bits, screwdriver bits etc. Because you're going to be doing drilling whether you like it or not.
3. Circular saw.
4. At least three flashlights.
5. Good pair of scissors.
6. A good handsaw.
7. Hacksaw.
8. Set of wrenches to include combination (or "end" wrenches) and sockets. Make sure you get both a 3/8" drive and a 1/4" drive ratchet. Consider getting 1/2" drive sockets as well.
9. Three Phillips screwdrivers - #1, #2 and #3 tips
10. Three good flat-tip screwdrivers, and three cheap ones because you're not supposed to pry with a screwdriver but you'll do it anyway.
11. Set of allen wrenches.
12. Folding utility knife and pack of 100 blades.
13. Several pliers. Make sure a needle-nose is one of them.
14. Crescent wrench, at least 8" long. 12" is better.
15. Claw hammer, at least 16 ounce head.
16. Three-pound sledgehammer.
17. 25-foot tape measure.
18. Shovel.
19. Crowbar
20. At least two jackstands.
21. Carpenter's level
22. Random orbit sander

Added thanks to your responses:
23. At least one roll of duct tape
24. Locking pliers, aka Vise-grips
25. Large can WD-40
26. A half-dozen 2" spring clamps
27. Two sawhorses
28. Leather work gloves
29. Hearing and eye protection


After that, consider:
1. Oscillating multi-tool. The one you want is a Fein, but they're expensive as hell.
2. Drill press. You will use this more than you can imagine.

Should I be concerned about my cat?

Won’t go near boxes or bags
Won’t jump on the counter
Won’t chase the red dot
Doesn’t get high on catnip
Favorite sleeping place is on the tile floor

I am not overly sure this isn’t a cat-shaped dog.

Kanye West's new album costs $200

https://pitchfork.com/news/kanye-west-releases-new-album-donda-2-on-stem-player/

Kanye has come up with a media player that costs $200. Apparently it’s pretty slick: you can mix the record to your own tastes on it, doing such things as dropping out the vocals.

His new album, Donda 2, will only be released on this device.

Roger Stone's new and insane plan to reinstall Trump as president

https://www.rawstory.com/roger-stone-unveils-a-doozy-of-a-plan-to-install-donald-trump-as-president/?cx_testId=6&cx_testVariant=cx_undefined&cx_artPos=1&cx_experienceId=EXC93HV4HK4I#cxrecs_s

Step 1: After the GOP takes back the House of Representatives, install Donald Trump as speaker.

Step 2: Wait until the Cabinet removes President Biden via the 25th Amendment.

Step 3: Impeach and remove then-President Harris for failing to promote Ivermectin as an effective treatment for COVID.

Only one question: Just exactly how long does it take for neurosyphilis to become fatal? It seems like he's had it a long time.

That asshole Trump has opened a new Twitter account!

https://twitter.com/ReaIDonJTrump_

Would it be possible for us to show our esteemed former president the love he deserves and report the fuck out of this account so it gets shut down like his old one did?

This guy wants to make "national news." I say we help him...

https://cdapress.com/news/2022/mar/10/elephants-room/

This is from Idaho.

COEUR d’ALENE — The Kootenai County Republican Central Committee has reportedly planned and recruited volunteers to infiltrate the Kootenai Democrats, install an “antisemitic troll” as party chair and funnel money donated to Democrats to local Republicans instead.


This got disclosed because the coup plotters called a Republican who ran for sheriff in the last election to ask him to participate, and he called the paper.

My managing editor spent the entire day fielding emails from Republicans who are screaming about this. The general consensus was, "we knew (Brent Regan) was nuts, but not HOW nuts..."

This poor guy has probably caught...so much hell over his name

I was looking up something about the TV show MASH and typed in "Frank Burns."

The first thing that came back was...
https://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/home/member_information/house_bio.cfm?id=1163

Frank Burns, who was born three years after MASH premiered, has been a Democratic member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives since 2009.
