    Dont get me wrong bro, I dont care if they yell at kids too. But yelling to make 1st graders cry does not set a good precedent for further education.

    On the teacher thing, yeah some of them get shit on and it is a tough job for sure. In grades K-6 not only are you trying to teach 20-35 brats but also be a mediator and babysitter. But what I dont agree on is the entire tenure thing. Fuck, I have met a few teachers from my kids that...

    Well it depends where paleo man was at the time. Its a total falsehood that paleo man only consumed meat. If you lived in the mexican desert, you ate cactus, rabbits, legumes. And if you lived in the rainforest, you ate more fruit, which was more readily available. If you lived in the north...

    There is also another fucked up law in some states, not sure which, but when a chick gets pregnant and has the baby, she can put down any name for the daddy she wants, so lets say Bob is a nice rich local dude and she puts his name on the birth certificate. Then the state has to notify the...

    But you have to be keto adapted for that shit to work. Thats the problem, a lot of people feel like shit the first two weeks on keto and they stop. But your body needs to adapt to burning fat as a fuel source, like muscles building the proper enzymes to utilize fat and this takes a few weeks...

    As is protein converted to glycogen when no carbs are present. Glycogen levels are 1/2 that of a carb consumer but you also use 1/4 of your glycogen when under heavy excercise because you are adapted to burn fat as a fuel source. As to performance gains, yes there is performance gains in shit...

    Again I use the knoor bulion cubes and for a big pot I use about 4-5. But those are bigger cubes so if you use other cubes, just add them, taste, and add some more until you think it tastes right. And you can just add salt as well, but again, this just adds more flavor because its concentrated...

    Chicken soup? I make it the old fashioned way my mom and grandma used to make. 1 full chicken split in 1/2 maybe even two if they are small. Put this in big pot of water and boil for like 45 min. sometimes I add in some beef shank or beef shortribs. Then when the 30-45 min is up, strain the shit...

    To add to this even further, can you even buy a SD TV anymore? I dont see them around anymore for sale. Fuck you can get a 40"-45" 1080p TV for like $300 these days. The only places I see SD tvs anymore is in like cabins we rent out in the summer in northern Michigan.

    Deep fried turkey is good. My parents did theirs a few years back, so I borrowed their fryer and did mine and it was all that and then some. I brined mine over night for extra juiciness. Just make sure you dry the fucker of any moisture and lower it down slowly.

    Tenderloin is good when stuffed with some sausage or something then tied back up, maybe even braised in some lovely liquids. Other than that it tends to be dry as shit. Sort of like a beef round roast. If you are going to do some shredding, get yourself a shoulder, you can either do it slow...
