I usually just put a colander like you'd strain pasta with into a big bowl. Then I scoop out the biggest chunks of stuff before pouring the rest into the bowl. Lift the colander and done. If you feel fancy you can line the colander with cheese cloth to remove even smaller pieces but I never bother.
Use them scraps up folks I promise it'll be great.

Voters can barely comprehend that they need to check the box with (D) next to it. You think they can understand who they are supposed to vote for if we make it so complicated???

Ya it's a bit wacky. They really just seem to be making shit up and hoping that will confuse the voters. You wouldn't want to weaken the Democratic party at a time like this would you???? That's basically trumpism.

Anyway here's my green new deal that will make it illegal to use plastic straws and require you to turn your thermostat down to like 56 in winter.
The B2s used well over 300,000lbs of jet fuel for this mission since just one has a capacity of 167,000lbs. This means atleast say ~500 tons of CO2 released on this one mission to bomb Yeman for stopping a genocide. Not including the emissions from the refueling planes.
A average person releases ~5 tons a year with people in poorer countries (like Yeman) releasing much less. that means one flight to bomb a few facilities released atleast as much CO2 as 100 people would over an entire year.
Anyway Kamala definitely cares about the environment.

His death in the chair reminds me of another time the fascists tried killing him. Sitting in the rubble of your own home daring them to try again. Only took the most over equipped military ever years more to kill one old man. What a badass.

Ya totally. Ranked choice voting will certainly not solve our problems. I do think it's hilarious that Dems always tout it as a solution/reason we must vote a certain way this year but when it is an option they back up real fast.

Well the Democrats say it'll confuse voters so best not
This is it guys the chance to save democracy and finally have the chance to vote for not genocide. I've been told it is not the time to not vote for Holocaust Harris because lesser evil. Until we have ranked choice we simply must have genocide. Finally we can solve it!!! Anyway the local Democratic party recommends voting no on this measure. Oh well.

I once crossbred some tomatoes in my garden. Does that mean I have a right to defend myself against any Zionists I encounter?
I'll be out all weekend in the mountains pulling rock. Usually when this happens something big goes down... Usually related to trump weirdly. Trump shooters, trump covid, trump winning in 2016, Biden dropping out. What's happening this weekend...

Went to a library today to return a book and grab some more. They always have a few books out that they're selling extras of or whatever. I've got some excellent books there before rare oldies and odd little things. Today there was a book I really wanted but it was $170. I thought it said $17. I was so excited. Oh well. This book is online but it's not the same.
Sorry for the slight delay for day 3. I was far too tired yesterday to even post. Anyway day 3 started well. By that I mean I laid in bed an extra hour before going to the convention floor. Once I got there it went downhill pretty quickly. It was busier than ever today with the anticipation of trump showing up. One thing getting everyone excited was Trumps promise to "free Ross" and the "free Ross" shirts flowed like wine. I was offered them many times. A breath of fresh air honestly.  Rumors among the attendees swirled as well about who else might show up. Would it be Harris, Elon, maybe even Barron Trump. One element of the show that I haven't mentioned to much was the focus on BTC mining and Energy. Whole area of the show floor dedicated to shipping containers full of computers that do can helpfully use up alllll your extra energy. Huge computing power dedicated to this.  After walking through a few boxes full of pipes and computers I decided to run through the art gallery and merchandise stalls again because despite there being more attendees today it was less busy. Almost the whole attendee ship was in line to get into Trump today. The main security line snaked hundreds of meters through the whole convention hall. He wasn't supposed to be on for 4 hours yet at this point. This lack of people actually walking the floor gave me opportunity to talk to some vendors who showed me their delightful wares. The Tuttle Twins is an animated show aimed at the young boys and girls to explain "Delayed gratification, Bitcoin and the Dangers of Communism". When I told the vendor my wife was pregnant and we wanted to start bitcoining them young his face lit up. I only threw up in my mouth a little; only partly because of the horrendous animation playing on the TV behind him.  There was also Bitcoin board games. Aimed to teach all your non bitcoiner friends how to bitcoin in fun and exciting ways. As a lover of good games I must really say for all the money some of these people have they put no production quality into anything. They all looked like shit and I had no interest in sitting and learning about blocks and lightning nodes via cardboard for 90 minutes. There was also the base58LARP... I dint dare LARP but apparently its world famous according to the sign.  And of course there was more great art. See the header image for one such elegant tapestry. If you listened to Hell on Earth this piece really highlighting how bitcoin is exactly like the Protestant revolution might be of interest to you.  If all the art, commerce, and rampant extraction of the earths finite resources to smash a few numbers together got you feeling a certain sorta way you could stop in for a hit of IV hydration. sit down and hook up baby. An oxygen bar was also available in the industry area.  After hearing an announcement from a philosophy professor at the University of Wyoming establishing the Bitcoin Research Institute (new theory dropping soon guys don't worry) it was Trump time. By this point the line had only gotten longer. Now truly winding back and forth across the hall unpredictably. A wall of people would appear as if from nowhere and vanish the next second as the line shifted. Lucky I knew where a second security checkpoint that had almost no one at it (aside from a dozen or so SS agents taking wide stances and starring straight ahead) was. Plus it would take me to where there was free cold brew ("grown in El Salavdor, bought with bitcoin, and roasted in America"). It was probably for the best that the cold brew nozzle was clogged as my diet truly was only coffee these days. The crowd was standing room only in the main Hall. Ron Paul was up onscreen talking about who the fuck knows what and Armed Secret service members patrolled the crowd looking for sloppy roofs.  Finally the conference organizer gets on stage and gives a little speech announcing that Bitcoin2025 will be in Las Vegas and thanking the 8,000 people in the room to see Trump. He announces that up next is president Trump to huge applause. "Who better to lead the Orange Party than the man himself DJT!" this line provokes the man behind me into a hysterical laughing fit. Literally bending over and slapping his knees. I can not move away it is too crowded. The organizer goes back stage to get Trump and comes out a second later and says trump isn't ready before running away from the confused murmuring. By now the rumor's that Harris will show up have died down only to be replaced by rumors Musk would appear live on stage with Trump. Even the Official broadcast they cute back to to distract everyone from Trumps absence are saying a "Special Guest" is in the building!  after 20 minutes the speakers stop playing the worst music you've ever heard and everyone gets quite only to have an announcement that someone needs to make there way to the exit immediately. 20 minutes after that we are all told it'll be another 20 minutes. Finally an hour late Trump takes to the stage. He stands awkwardly in the center of it while everyone cheers for him as his song finishes. There is no Musk. No special guest at all. Pumped us up and left us hanging.  Honestly Trump was boring. He seems to have no sauce. Rizzless. Desiccated. Lame. RFK had a smaller crowd but louder cheers. However I will highlight a few funny moments: --You'll be passing the market cap of silver pretty soon. Maybe gold sometime. Pretty good pretty good. --BTC is an accomplishment of human achievement, Love and relationships --China is dominating us. "We want them to dominate folks but we want to dominate more" --"I'm gonna give you so much electricity you'll be saying no more electricity please please mr president no more electricity" --"I'll fire Gary Gensler Day 1" This gets the loudest cheer he managed. So he does it again. He just says it again for another cheer. --I'll start a crypto guidance council to regulate bitcoin and all the other cryptos that are "very very good also" ---BTC doesn't threaten the USD the government does. Of course many Bitcoiners explicitly say this will destroy all fiat so I found it amusing. --The military has not gone woke folks. They were very very good for me. --The Gov will get more bitcoin and hold all bitcoin it gets never selling it --The geniuses in this room ("well not all of you are geniuses. Some of you") are the modern day Wright brothers and Henry Fords. it lasted 45 minutes. On the way out of the hall i got a good look at the RFK RV I had only glimpsed from the distance a few times all week.  After waiting for trumps motorcade to go by to the cheering of all I can make it back to the hotel. I begin to feel a bit sick. Wonder if seeing only 2 people with masks the whole time has anything to do with it. Or maybe it's just the coffee based diet (I did get my free coldbrew eventually). Whatever the case its over. I can recuperate. Bitcoin 2025 Las Vegas is 10 months away. I can probably come with an excuse not to go by then. On the other hand I'm a sicko and love torturing myself so if the invite comes again will I be able to stop myself. I'll be in my backyard smoking weed if anyone needs me.
I started Bitcoin day 2 by taking a small amount of mushrooms so "not everyone at the conference seemed like an asshole". Ultimately I don't think that worked it just made my tummy ache. Day 2 was no longer industry badge holders only so it was massively more busy. Really the first day in a way. First of all there were way more pigs and rent-a-pigs. 2+ private companies, locale PD, TSA, and secret service off the top. Plus of course a few "totally not cops" wandering around not suspiciously at all. This made the line into the main stage area so long that you would find its tail randomly in the middle of the convention floor hundreds of yards away from the security checkpoint. The vibe today was different as well. With so many more people the level of grift has lowered. Now not only were there bitcoiners trying to sell each other new wallets or advertising yet another mining resale service but just regular type people. You could tell by the way they looked around with vague confusion yet obvious hope. Many people are drawn to Bitcoin for an alternative to whatever isn't working. I can't afford my groceries any more and these bitcoiners say they can help let's check it out sorta deal. There were many keynotes and talks today. As yesterday they ranged from mind melting libertarian screeds to intriguing bits of tech talk.  Phill Zimmerman, inventor of PGP, gave a short talk about why the US is fighting against E2EE. Pretty good besides his need to keep saying "the US is doing this, obviously china is doing it more"  It was also a day of political speeches on the main stage. All MCd by this guy:   The human rights foundation spoke about people needing to check their financial privileges and argued that Bitcoin allows those in disadvantaged areas to potentially transmit value sans government approval and banking institutions. Perhaps the most compelling talk of the day and at least attempting to make a True case for crypto.   By now though I had only drank 3 cups of coffee, including some free Bitcoin coffee (not made by robots which were broken today whenever I walked by), and nothing else. My stomach was loving it. Unfortunately I was looking masc today and wouldn't you know it at Bitcoin 2024 the men's bathrooms had long lines and the women's didn't. Didn't want to argue with libertarians about gender so no quick women's room run for me. In the afternoon the main stage had senators Tim Scott and Cynthia Lummis. Who spent the whole time just saying each other's names repeatedly. "If the government controls the money then they control us" says two senators to standing ovation.  20 minutes late they finally shut up and allow the giant Snowden head to dominate the stage. He gave perhaps the best talk of the day and essentially begged everyone to take his warnings about the lack of privacy on BTC blcokchain seriously. Lots of clapping and yet the block chain remains insecure. But that's what he's always done. Begged to be taken seriously while everyone pretends to care but does not heed him. Declares the US to be (becoming) the "Land of the fee home of the slave" to end his speech.  Between every speech ads play. This trailer for "God bless bitcoin" was incessant. Don't worry the animation remains shitty  Next was RFK jr. Now this was when the crowd really got wild. Absolutely jam packed audience. Nowhere to stand but the far back of the giant hall. [He declares his Bitcoin policy](https://hexbear.net/comment/5179516). He declares himself the first Bitcoin president And says it's strange that since the fall of the Soviet Union America has gotten less free. A paradox he says. LOL. He ends his speech with something like "I'm not red, blue or even purple. Those are the party's colors. I consider myself orange. Trump may have orange hair but I have an orange heart" crowd goes fuckin insane. Finally it was Russell Brand and the CEO of Rumble's turn. They just spent the few minutes I was there going back and forth about how awesome each other is.  I couldn't handle anymore so I stumbled out of the convention hall to try and find some food away from the conference. As a final goodbye for the day I saw the Cyber truck Bitcoin edition from the header. I've seen more bazingamobiles here than I have anywhere else ever. Most aren't quite so ugly just the normal amount. I'm so tired. Tomorrow surely will be great. They've banned large bags and backpacks from the whole convention for the day. Trump will be there at 3 rumors persist that Harris will show up. The lines will be longer. These photos are big maybe i should shrink em for tomorrow.
Day 1 I was on edge immediately as I was told no bears were allowed upon entering. It was also industry day (why do I have an industry badge I don't know just for this extra day I guess)  I soon realized I was in a fever dream of libertarian 4channery when I strolled through the Bitcoin Art gallery and saw the paintings.  The vendors hall was just as feverish. The panties for Bitcoin booth was especially... Revealing. However the busiest booth was the BTC trading cards. And of course the multiple booths dedicated to not paying income tax. There were also robots making coffee. Of course for each coffee robot was a man standing behind it waiting for it to fuck up and need help. And of course everyone is very hype that trump is coming... As you can see in the main pic. no time has been wasted by the bitcoiners after the trump attempt. During registration I realized there are also Whale passes. These things are insanely pricey and get you nothing but "The Deep" a tiny lounge area. And some special seating. Guess the price of these fuckin things... Main passes cost ~$700 industry passes ~$4k... ::: spoiler spoiler Whale passes ~$20k ::: Obviously a discount if you pay in BTC. so that's a steal then. Check the map for all the sweet perks being a whale gives ya.  Talks during the day ranged from boring nothing about how great BTC is, to a few interesting technical talks, to having the most ghoulish people imaginable on stage. A black rock exec for instance and minister from Dubai. This talk was followed by libertarian excellence. "Why is black rock here these people are rent seeking scum" true my friend maybe examine why your perfect coin is so infected with them. Maybe push at your ideology a little. Definitely got the biggest crowd reaction though and most enjoyable personally since they almost said true statements. Later we went to a podcast live show in a bar. On entrance we were greeted with what the lady at the door said was the most beautiful ice sculpture she'd ever seen. It was no sculpture of lenin I was disappointed to find.  Easily the funniest part of the day. They had a comedian come up and roast the hosts. When his jokes weren't just "you gay" or "who here is a n*****?" he was pretty good at roasting bitcoiners. There was also a hotdog eating contest. One guest just loved bukele. He had the biggest cowboy hat I ever saw. Overall day 1: 10% technically interesting, 40% libertarian madness, 50% fever dream. Ready for day 2 let's go.
There's so much great art here at Bitcoin2024. Help I'm in hell

Spring is arriving. I wish to be outside doing basically anything. Some late season snow showing or skiing, some hiking, climbing and camping. Instead I gotta sit here and work to make money. Totally stupid. Anyway that's all just feeling the call to the mountains.
If you're only reference for terrorists are movie villains this makes complete sense.
Anyway obviously Hamas are a bunch of deranged freaks for taking some stimulants before going into battle. Unlike our wholesome IOF doing peaceful and cool drugs. Proves once and for all that psychedelics don't actually make you a good person. I wish a very traumatizing trip upon this occupier when a rain of missiles begins flying.
A strange little bit of the Internet I bring to hexbear. Getting drunk on the holy Spirit hits different when you're on shrooms. I distinctly remember a giant Israeli flag on this page previously when I was looking for somewhere to get spores from years ago but that seems to have been removed. Anyway this has been a PSA don't buy spores at mushrooms.com

Poor ole Canadian pilots bullied by the aggressive Chinese.... Off the coast of China. They were just allegedly helping to blockade out a Chinese ally. Nothing aggressive about that.
No I won't explain how it's nuanced. You tankies thinking people being free is "good" is the real crime.
This is the event that unites chuds and libs in their hatred again.
That's right I have a beef with plastic climbing holds
Was at a concert and in between tunes caught "...these days this might be problematic but I think...". What were they talking about go.
