  • It’s a film of goo. If you’re in a kitchen of a smokers house and a tea kettle or boiling pot goes for a bit, rusty drips will form on the ceiling and down the walls. There’s a filmy goo to it if you get it on your hands. It’s a piece of what needs to be cleaned then painted over, sometimes multiple times, to lock it away.

    I guess if there’s no context for it, then it’s a mere sepia tone or some such.

    I could not find a listing for this paint of yours.


  • Smoking.

    Do you know why all the wall paint and curtains of the 70s and 80s never included pristine white? Yes, that’s why. I’m convinced the choices of golds, oranges, and browns were just giving in to the inescapable film of nicotine tinge on everything, everywhere.

    To this day, when I see “cream”, “ecru”, “chiffon” or any other creative name for not-quite-white, I think of nicotine stains.

    Restaurant smoking was the worst.

    I’ve never, and this is likely why. Growing up in that acrid awfulness was a great deterrent.

    It’s like this. Your front door is left open and while, magically, no one can touch or take anything in your house, strangers are allowed to enter at will and eyeball everything, see all your bills, your kids stuff, your laundry, dirty and clean, etc. How would that ever be ok? And yet we say this is ok electronically every day.




  • It’s good to see focus on the two men behind the curtain instead of the orange distraction. That 1A speech was very very scripted, nuanced, and scary. More smoke and mirrors. The only piece of Trump I saw in it was the “require a court order to remove/ban a social media account”.

    Sadly the only original, unfiltered through other YouTubers vid is posted by RFK. It even has big green crayon all caps, bold letter subtitles.

    Look to Elon and Vance. They’re the bigger threats.

    Both are meh compared to home. Dough is flour water yeast. Touch of corn meal for roll out. Add time. That’s it. Cheap and easy.

    Reclaim the Pizza Hut crust of 30 years ago by preheating a #8 or larger iron skillet with oil in it, carefully dropping in your rolled out crust, making sure it has a nice edge, and building your pizza. And your crust won’t taste as sugary as subway bread.

    You have money to spare, pizza oven for the thin crust.

    Dominos is better these days if you have to choose.
