Beau I have been trying to reach you via email for over a year now. Don't know if my messages aren't reaching you, or if they are being ignored.
I am facing being homeless because of health issues. I have suffered from CPS, osteoarthritis, PTSD, and now possible cancer. Due to medical staffing shortages, shortages at SSDI, and bureaucracy, it is taking forever to get anything done.
What family I have left turned their back on me, as well as my so called friends. I tried to raise money via GoFundMe and managed to raise $140 Ina year. My friends and family won't even help with that.
There are no social programs for single males. I'm out of time now. I've sold all I had that was of any real value.
I am looking at dying in the streets in the richest country on Earth, that brags about being the greatest country on Earth. 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I so love the Alien video. Still one of my favorites I send to people occasionally. It’s a real face-slapper 🤣🤣🤦♂️
I somehow missed the Alien video last year. Really enjoyed it ["You're pale so you don't need to worry sbout that..."]
Thanks for the link!
Nah Beau her having feelings about me owning a playstation is a deal breaker you have to chill😂🤣
I live in MN and youre dead on about our voting. This is sociallly and politically one of the most progressive places to live in the union but we balance the politics.
These 'strong man' characters are the bane of the world's existence. If we could avoid letting them get to power we might be able to get some peace on this planet. This is the assignment going forward. No more ego driven maniacs in power.
The problem is getting the right person for the job to actually take the job.
The old problemis that those who really want the power often are not the best to wield it.
You must be talking about Hamas!
@@imperialmotoring3789
It's valid for Hamas, Trump, Kim Jong Un, Putin, Netanyahu, - and quite a few others come to mind.
I liked the Klingon proverb for this, "Great men do not seek power. Power is thrust upon them."
GREEN FLAG: volunteers' his time
Huge green flag.
Excellent point!
@@roadswithbeau but do you have any magenta flags?
@@vforwombat9915 Schizophrenia or bipolar disorder as magenta flags.
Best green flag I had was at work, trying to open a locker. Trainer told me, "No need to be gentle, it's not a woman."
Abbott's pardon is shameful and disgusting.
Truly "supporting the troops and veterans".
Were you there? Maybe the "victim" shouldn't have put himself in that situation.
@@imperialmotoring3789 maybe the governor shouldn't have pardoned someone convicted by a jury of his peers.
@@imperialmotoring3789the victim was a veteran that was helping his disabled wife. How low of an asshole are you? That was a redundant question, because we see all the bullshit you keep posting.
Shameful, disgusting, and on brand.
Thank you. “War is a failure of diplomacy” is my view.
Wht Diplomacy could stop a Monster like RasPutin.
What Diplomacy could be used against a Monster like RasPutin.
War is a failure of humanity.
War is a failure of humanity.
Diplomacy is a human achievement. War is a regression.
Any alien spacecraft sailing by Earth probably locks the doors as a precaution.
Bad neighborhood.
"We don't land there."
"Why?"
"They take stuff without asking."
"But... there's no way they can make our technology work for them."
"Won't stop them from trying."
Earth is where poor aliens take their kids on vacation. It's like the county fair instead of DisneyLand for them.

Besides having female authors on his bookshelf
the fact he has a bookshelf counts for something
These days even having a Kindle would work for this Silent Generation reader.
How about books piled on all flat surfaces and cat's sitting on some of them?
@@jaynye4991The best! 😅
Totally 💯
I was thinking has books so I have something to discuss. Funny... I got a Kindle bc I decided I needed to downsize the books... 😂 Still have most of them... eta it sent to soon. Was trying to say, but stopped acquiring new ones quite so fast.
Don’t know a thing about Senator Menendez but I’m amazed at the high speed with which a sitting Senator has come to trial considering all the GOP congressmen and the orange guy who aren’t even being pursued.
The key difference seems to be the Dems, after some reluctance admittedly, have not formed a wall around him to shield from the rules and law.
This isn't his first rodeo.
He is awful and so is his wife.
Senator Menendez took over $500,000 in "bribes" from Egypt and apparently the Secret Service found out, gathered all the evidence 1st, and then turned it over to the FBI and DOJ.
This is a retrial of an earlier charge. This is not related to his most recent arrest.
"Covid did a number on how much faith I have"
A cynic is a romantic with experience.
_"A cynic is a romantic with experience."_ I like this. I'll be pondering it more fully throughout the day.
Thanks for posting.🥰😊
A green flag I have is someone who not only loves Star Trek but actually understands what it was designed to teach all along.
Re Covid having affected faith in humanity in general and Americans in particular... That's a present-tense one for me. The current blasé acceptance of the continued deaths, baseline-high wastewater levels, endless reinfections, ignoring Long Covid and the people suffering from it, and complete lack of effort or interest in preventing transmission or protecting anyone... Super great sign of what we can expect when things get real re climate change.
I think H5N1 bird flu is going to achieve human-to-human spread before Winter 2026. It has an estimated 55% death rate among infected humans. The world will either adapt and enforce precautions against the spread, or humanity will be all but extinct by 2030.
And the rise of Drug-Resistant Bacteria.
It truly is going to be a return to 18th century standards of living.
The biggest green flag for men is if they have and treat their animals with a lot of love and compassion.
Yes, this.
For me, it's how they respond to cats. Cats understand consent. They don't want petted, they won't let you. If the person gets upset, that's a yellow flag.
@@Dillon-117 I would call that a strong yellow, if not light red flag, but definitely a moment of caution at the VERY least, particularly if it is a consistent reaction and not a once off.
Absolutely this. And if they actively dislike animals, for me that's a huge red flag.
Hmm. This makes me somewhat nervous since Im not much of a pet person overall. If someone didn't have an interest in keeping pets is that a red or yellow flag?
Could we hear more about that sabotage campaign? That sounds like it might be important.
Yeah that'll get a full video soon
@@roadswithbeauThank you. I’ve been looking for coverage and there’s not much. I live in the EU!
@@roadswithbeau I've seen some brought up on other channels. Lotta infrastructure incidences, and quite a few related to power generation.
From the standpoint of a Vet who works as a contractor today, the sabotage campaign is getting unnervingly close to something NATO will have to respond to directly.
@@edbangor9163 I'd be surprised if a clandestine response from NATO members, individually, wasn't already underway.
Man....I've felt the same about humanity and covid. The heartbreak and disillusionment is a lot to process
World of Warcraft had their own pandemic, due to a glitch Hakkar the Soulflayer had.
It took a few weeks to sort out.
Main city hubs were carpeted by skellies, doomsday prophets, noobs intentionally reinfecting the population, and healers oom'ed (Out Of Mana/intellect to heal).
especially from the Politicians in charge and the Press busy on the fear mongering train*.
*literally two days before all restrictions where lifted the German press was still going „oh, maybe very dangerous new variant!!1!“
four days later „crickets chirping“ on any COVID news.
Bet your whole ass that me and mine still take precautions. I had it once, post-vax, and got encephalitis out of it. That was fun. And by fun I mean long covid symptoms for two years, and a long, slow attenuation of those symptoms since. Whee yeah I am just glad that hand sanitizer and wipes are still available.
... only plan netanyahu had was planning to avoid prison...
🎯
Reminds me of someone....
As a little kid, I watched Star Trek and believed that that’s what we would become. A crew made up of all different people who worked together to make things happen. We have astronauts we went to the moon. I thought we were heading in the right directions. Decades Pass and we elected a game show host as President. The more vile and crazy he gets still has people being his cult members. Maybe we really need to invest in our education system.. I’m hanging onto Hope that we figure out before we destroy ourselves.
The education system is so borked precisely to prevent a Star Trek future, to bring about our current situation.
Because that system is designed by the people in power who are only there because we run on an Order of Things that is substantially worse than Star Trek.
If the future occured, they would lose power, so they prevent it.
I believe 🎉
Similar position here. Still trying to figure out how to deal with my shattered perception of the world and the meaning of my life. Since I realized the bait-and-switch, I never really took it particularly well.
A huge green flag is any guy(or woman) that regularly watches Beau!!!
normally I'd agree, but considering the number of letters he gets from magats and trolls tell me some of them watch regularly, too
Totally 💯
Nah bro, why would you be cool with people who support human 🚦ers?
Covid helped me learn that at least 50% of the American people just wanted me to die with heard immunity, having autoimmune problems became scary.
Yep !
THIS. Most people (still) don't stop and think about what "herd immunity" actually means. We've been in what is essentially quarantine for 4+ years with no end in sight, and the people haranging us about how we "have to give this up and live your life" are the same ones gung-ho about herd immunity, and I'm all....
Heck, North Carolina is working on passing a law that gets rid of the exemption passed in 2020 that allowed wearing masks in public for health reasons.
The election of Trump shattered my perception of our country. That reality crushed the esteem I had for the citizenry of the USA.
I felt that way about Obama. I knew the USA would decline (and it has).
DITTO
I recently spent five years in Europe. Nearly everyone I met had lost a huge amount of respect for the United States because of Trump, and had a lot of fear about what might happen if he is elected again.
That first happened to me with Bush Jr, so by the time the _Orange One_ rolled around I wasn't surprised.
It was the opposite for me.
The election of Trump proved me correct about the United States. As a matter of fact, there were a lot of head-hanging Black People that couldn't look me in my eye as I told them: "I told you so."
Too many people invest more into their fantasy of the U.S. than they do reality of it. And that, to me, is a damn shame.
Green flag watches Beau of the fifth column!😂
Unfortunately, that’s not true across the board, as is evidenced by the number of people who watch him just so they can sling stupid questions at him, in the hope of a “gotcha“!!!! (Of course it never works for them, but that doesn’t stop them from trying!!!) 🤣🤣🤣
A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it. - agent K.
Beware of stupid people in large groups.
🎉 💃🕺 *_YAY!! Red wolf pups!!_* 🎊🎉
Easy! Don't scarem! 😄
O. Not to worry! I _howled_ in real life -- i just translated it to English for the post to humans.
Makes me so happy!! Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during these trying times.
For anybody wondering, here is the proper spelling of the code: Code of Ur-Nammu
Thanks for the info. I loved ancient civilizations, especially in that region.
@@queenboudicca31 Jared Diamond's book, _Guns, Germs and Steel_ is a great read to understand how civilization rise and either succeed or not.
Yeah, great read@@johnsteiner3417
Green flag - a dog that is calm and confident. Doesn't lunge aggressively, nor hide behind owner's leg, friendly, and tolerant with kids, doesn't bark or whine excessively. We judge people by the quality of their dog, and by how well our dogs take to them. Probably a good reason for this. They'll raise kids the same way they raise dogs.
I've always seen that since I was a child. Pets are a reflection of their humans.
The only problem with that is we need to know the pets history, because the best people will rescue abused pets.
Remember to ask how they got the pet and how long they've had them.
Because according to this I may be a horrible person. I exclusively have rescues and usually not the "looking for a nice one at the shelter" kind 🤷🏻♀️ I only ever met one of them before they moved in so it's hit or miss.
While they often turn out great and always improve, they don't always get to a place where they can make a good impression.
I prefer cats.
One of the huge green flags of my now husband was that the very anxious and reactive (and sadly also quite bitey) doggo I had back then took to him like they'd known each other for years. I was SO anxious but turned out they immediately clicked.
Lol, big red flag for me, then. I've worked with one of my mother's dogs for 6 years and she's still anxious, reactive, and barkey. And she's not even a rescue/rehomee. The rehomed dog is a LOT more chill and laid-back.
Bored on a sunday morning and then i see Beau 😊. Thanks Beau and team. (From a Houstonian)
❤️🙏❤️
Good luck to you and yours! Be safe! ❤
hope y'all are ok. hugs
Thanks for the love all. I'm good. Everyone I know is ok too. The city is a freaking mess though. It's sobering how intense that was, basically a hurricane blew threw in a matter of hours
I come for the class. I stay after for the comments.
You bet.
If only there was beer 🍻
Some wouldn’t believe about aliens, others would sell out the rest of us. 45 and Covid have me understanding human nature and history better than I want to.
For the lady looking for green flags, it’s an old one, but I still swear by it. Look at how people treat those perceived to be “lower status” than themselves. Wait staff etc. massive red flag if they treat them like s**t, but is a massive green flag if they show respect.
As someone born and living in Texas I support the Texas independence people wholeheartedly. They can exercise their desire for independence by leaving America and starting a new state/country somewhere else.
What are the things that scared me the most about covid was that it was basically the tutorial version of global challenge or catastrophe and we screwed it up real hard. We couldn't even manage to wear a mask and separate so aliens, climate change, anything more difficult to deal with not looking good
One of my favorite Farside cartoons is earth splattered on the windshield of the spacecraft.🤣 Helps me keep things in perspective.
I definitely agree with you about the effect of COVID on my faith in humanity's ability to come together for a cause. It was the final nail in the coffin of my belief that we will handle climate change appropriately, for sure.
I'll say it again, Beau. You would be the best person to be Earth's Ambassador. No one else is a more effective communicator.
A good movie to watch about aliens showing up in the US is the 1951 movie, The Day The Earth Stood Still, a real good movie showing how the Shoot First Ask Questions Later thing works out. Very enjoyable to say the least.
Have you seen "Starman"?
Lol on the salting food! That was a classic thing in day-long job interview situations. Your answer that you had eaten there often and knew the food makes a big difference, imho. Also useful example of there are exceptions to most “rules.”
Sir; absolutely put stock in her asking you WHY you salted your food before you tasted it and even more stock in her being confident enough to ask WHY and : your correct answer. Best love story i've heard in a long while.
My reaction was, well, anyone who cooks, especially professionally, has put a lot of time into making sure the flavors coaxed out are exactly as he or she wants someone to experience the dish. So seasoning their food before tasting it could be considered an insult to the chef.
The EX president is experiencing dementia, I worked with dementia patients for over 10 years. There’s no stopping it, and an intervention would be the kindest thing to happen here.
Both sides really. And who is responsible? Both parties. Pox on them all.
Pls don't push this narrative. It's reductive, insulting to dementia patients and more importantly unhelpful.
Trump has been confidently spewing out wild, inaccurate claims fully divorced from reality since at least 1980. If dementia was a contributing factor then he'd be dead by now. Whether it's a contributing factor now is beyond our knowing. His doctors might know, WE DON'T. What we do know is that he was fully capable of and willing to make blatantly false, self-serving claims about himself and the world when he was in his mid-30's. Call it out for what it has always been: naked populism in the service of personal power.
Bringing up dementia may effectively impugn his competence. It may even convince a tiny number of voters. But it does so based on nothing but conjecture with no factual support. And that opens the door to the same being done to everyone else: Biden, you, me, everyone. It isn't helpful. It makes the discourse worse, moving it even further away from dealing with truth. Please stop.
Beau: "I've eaten here like 75 times..."
Mrs. Beau, probably: "You brought 74 dates here before me? Interesting."
😂😂😂😂😂❤
😂😂😂
I feel sorry for people dating today. The key fob ruined the ultimate red flag detector.
Open her door, let her get in, close the door. If she doesn't reach across and unlock your door. Huge red flag. Never let me down.
How about if she hopes you get a flat tire when you show up in your new Model T Ford - and shortly thereafter, you do have a flat tire? My grandfather never got tired of telling that story about he and my grandmother’s first meeting. 🤣😂
You can still open the door with a key fob, And she can still try and open your door for you too. It's about people putting in the effort
Kids all uber today. They don't have cool cars like we did when we were dating!
I always opened the door to my Charger or Roadrunner or whatever I had at the time for my woman, then I would get in to find that she pushed up the armrest and is sitting in the middle seat so she is next to her man!
@@imperialmotoring3789. Ah, for the good ol’ days - when we met people the old fashioned way; with alcohol and bad decisions. 🤣. Stay safe and well neighbour. 🇨🇦🇺🇸
Lol that's an odd one
Yeah, between the presidential election of 2016 and the response to Covid I realized that the rot runs really deep in this country.
Was rot before 2016 , still can't fathom peoples responses to Obama like he was some leftist radical ,his presidency was 1970s republican, including the Heritage foundations health plan 🤔
Beau being the guy who talks to the Aliens first is a great idea.
Yeah, but he would want to pet their dog first…
@@BC25citizen I can relate to that. Dogs are awesome.
@@BC25citizen The aliens would green-flag us all if he did that!
@@sherfromgr 😆 probably so, but I was recalling his recent self-description as “someone whose last words will probably be ‘Ima pet it!’ “
Take me to your leader 😂
When Beau says ''I'll tell you a story ...!'' I sit up straighter. 😀
well… it was a Red Flag, but she did gather all the information before making a decision on it.
He is a master storyteller!! Best day friends!!
I’ve heard the story about salting your food in reference to a job interview. It implied as Beau said, making decisions without the needed information.
Green flag: Have multiple interests.
ADHD: What's the limit?
Autism: Uh-oh
Note: Yes, I know not everyone on the spectrum has only one special interest.
The limit does not exist 😂
Admiral Hyman Rickover, the founder of the Navy’s nuclear submarine service did the salt thing too, feeling that officers who salted their food without tasting first would act the same with nuclear power plants in submarines. He also faulted men for not standing when a women of station entered the room.
Standing when a woman comes to the table or taking your seat before women take their seat is something I watch for in men to this day.
Was Admiral Levine that woman you are speaking of?
@@roadswithbeau " is something I watch for in men to this day."
i don't wanna knock on this too hard, but isn't this a case of, what's your phrase, 'following traditions of dead ppl?
what purpose does standing for a lady serve other than traditional?
and i'm not knocking it at all, so much as wondering why it's something you look for.
@@imperialmotoring3789 The Admiral's wife would enter the dining area before the meal was served and gentlemen were expected to rise from their seats as a sign of respect. All potential officers for the submarine service were subjected to this.
@@Sandra-dt4ec I meant Admiral Levine. Would the men stand for him and would they be punished for snickering?
In his mind no doubt he believes that he won not just Mn, but all states and territories and votes cast were for him.
Trump is insane
We are sorta blue here
I just figured he doesn’t know the difference between Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, and Montana.
Survived many hot, humid summers without AC, with quick, cool showers.
Unfortunately, we WILL see a wet bulb crisis this century in a major population center.
If the humidity is too high, water cannot cool you down.
Also, if your water requires electricity to pump, you're sol.
For dealing with heat without electricity: I live in a part of Europe that regularly gets heatwaves and I don't have AC, nor does anyone else that I know.
Best method by far: use a long thick cotton cloth (like the ones used for drying dishes, or longer). Soak in cold water, wring out, and drape over you shoulders and the back of your neck. You can drape it over your head if you need to be in the sun, but avoid if possible.
It's incredibly effective. And it lets you continue your daily life, albeit slowed down.
Obviously drink more water than usual.
"Best method by far:"
drive north to the arctic circle.
..
oh, your towel thing might be useful too.
also, cellars.
ground is a great insulator.
@@vforwombat9915 I meant best method for immediate use with no cost or needing to own or have access to a particular type of house or property.
Of course the greater your means, the better the solutions you can put in place.
Cellars are great in a heatwave. If you have access to one.
I don't know if "Canadian wells" are called that in English? Lay a ventilation shaft into the ground through your garden horizontally about 1,50 metres deep (depends on depth of frost in your region). The air that comes into the house will have the temperature of the earth. Which should be about 15°C, year round. It is useful in both winter and summer. But it needs a certain length, and it depends on you having the land and the means to dig a trench, lay a pipe and install a ventilation system, or better still, make it so that it functions by convection. Not everyone has that.
But if you live in a 5th floor apartment, or have to work away from home, the towel is still a really good and versatile option, that requires no funds, no complicated installation, and can be implemented with no help and no prior planning.
Another use of water/cloth - grandmother used to tack wet cloth (loose woven) to full open windows to catch the breeze - sort of evaporative cooling. Doesn't work so well in high humidity areas, but does help in dryer climates.
They have hiking cooling cloths specifically for this purpose, but I expect the cotton stays wet longer.
I'm in America, lol just poor , that's my method, that and blacking out windows.
single guy (older) thinking "i don't own a console yah!" while sitting at my $2000 gaming pc.
I was wondering if my xbox 360 and PS3 counted, but yeah the several thousand dollar gaming rigs probably count on their own.
Unless she's into gaming too.
@@Jcewazhereeh. I think it’s probably a (unfortunately kinda common) personal experience. If you’ve been in a relationship with an alcoholic that resists treatment, you’ll see teetotaling as a green flag.
If you’ve been in a relationship with a gaming addict, same thing. But lots and lots of people drink occasionally and in moderation. Same with gaming.
I just turned 44, i've had consoles and i've been a gamer since i was like 10 years old. I don't understand why people put down people who play games. Why dont people have this same problem with people that own a TV and Blu-Ray player? Whats the difference? Games have awesome arwork, some have great stories, and some are just mindless fun. At least with gaming, some skill/abilities are honed (hand eye corrdination and problem solving skills as examples), what do you gain over staring at the TV. I would rather be actively engaged in playing a game than to just sit and stare at a TV. Yeah i get it too much of either is never good, but you'll hear more people putting down and insulting a gamer much faster than a couch potato that just watches tv.
@@tpp6432the person who said it probably dated a cod player at some point. It's sad that now gaming is ruined for them, but i can at least see where they were coming from.
I'm a single grandma in my 60's, and I thought, "aw...." since I love to game and would hope that anyone in my life would share that enjoyment.
I like that idea of living your life one pay-raise behind. Saving is always smart.
12:30 to the person who just got a raise and wants a lawnmower:
I was also raised in a low income environment. It's easy for me to fall into the "buy the most low cost option" camp. For bigger purchases that should last for a while, I've found better cost effectiveness with a "buy once" philosophy. Spending a little more upfront can save you money on future replacements. If you want to get the best option long term, find a local guy who does small engine repair and ask him what lawnmower he would get. Prioritizing repairability will also save you money in the long run (and keep trash out of the environment.) Depending on your aptitudes and time availability, a small engine repair community class at your local community college could also save you money in the long run. Good luck and congrats on your raise
There's also a ton of video's on You Tube demonstrating how to repair/maintain
things. Also grow things. Most vegetables can be cleaned/blanched/frozen
in freezer bags. For the cost of a few packs of seeds. Any appliance that has
a heating element needs to go in the trash. I found my MrCoffee was costing
me $10/month. lol And the month ahead thing works all by itself. Add up ALL
your bills for the last year including licenses, registrations, Everything.
Divide the total by 52. This amount goes in the bank EVERY week. At the end of the year you should have 1 full months amount of money not earmarked, free.
A month is deemed as 4 weeks, or 12 payment periods. But a year actual equals
13 months, 52 divided 4. This takes some will power, tenacity. But it works.
@guavaberries is right. I've been there too, lived in a tent for about 3 months
at one point. Sucked, but I had to suck it up to get back on my feet. Happens.
I really admire how Beau subverts expectations in his storytelling. He's constantly throwing curveballs. Can't never pin him down.
Not many people would say
"I'm too close to this incident to give a fair input so I won't. But I'll give you the source information so that you can"
A green flag for me - he has a cat. It tells me he has empathy and is devoid of machismo. 🐱💚
Good news - I have a full set of cats.
Bad news - I'm 86 years old.
Have you watched Cat Daddies yet? I did last night then donated to the go fund me page set up for David and Lucky. It is a must see imo...
@@jaynye4991I ended up with 6 cats because I rescued a stray/feral that was in a field behind me living on an old trampoline. I *thought* it was a male since another stray just had a kitten that looked identical to the trampoline cat. Nope. *She* was a female - a pregnant one at that. I also added another cat, so that is 7 now when some guy down the street threw out (literally) a beautiful Siamese fella. Just gotta get the money up to get him fixed. He won't stay inside so I know he is out trying to get the other stray cats pregnant. I try to keep in inside as much as possible but am scared he might spray and then my hubby would banish him forever. I am 62 and disabled and never thought I would be the "crazy old cat lady" but life had other plans...
Bibbi has an endgame. Genocide.
Terrible endgame, it never works anymore. Just too many people.

In the book "Childhood's End" alien ships hover over capital cities. One country launches a missile at a ship ... hovering over a rival's capital.
"The State Department recommends against travelling to Terra, a planet known to harbour both terves and terrorists."
All I have to say about the extraterrestrial thing, is that I find it very hard to believe that the human race is the best thing that the Universe has come up with!😂!
It wasn’t a red flag because you had a legitimate reason for salting first. And apparently a very consistent chef.
I have a feeling I could learn just as much if not more from listening to Mrs. Fifth Column as I can from listening to Beau.
I love that your wife asked about seasoning food before tasting. I grew-up believing it was an insult to the cook.
Mrs Beau's test was only wrong because you did in fact know how the food would very likely taste. I also see such signs of a closed mind as potential flags -- maybe little orange flags.
I don't generally go in season my food places, but diners like waffle House generally don't season breakfast items for whatever reason. I automatically go in and season my food
There are a lot of senior citizens who are customers at that sort of restaurant. They can always add salt to their plate but if the customer is on anti hypertensive medication the added salt beforehand makes them at a worse state than pre-limiting the salt.
First thing, if you're curious if something online is credible, if it's on FB, it's not credible.
Ryan McBeth has some good videos on how to spot disinformation/fake-news.
Thank you for this information.
Ryan Macbeth has a bias against any kind criticism of Israel I have found. And war hawks as if he was directly receiving Israeli lobbying money himself. Some of his DIP videos were literally DIP themselves when it comes to pro-Palestinian politics. (Deceptive Imagery Perception)
Bottom line is he has a pro Israeli bias - and direct connection to defense weapons contractors that contract directly to Israel. He is part of the MIC problem….
More people are leaving the aviation maintenance field than coming into it. You will be able to go wherever you want for very good pay. Especially, if you're good at it.

Women authors like Ayn Rand?
The salting of food before tasting it was a reason for Henry Ford rejecting one worker over another according to popular mythology.
Lols on Rand 😂😂
A former co-worker followed your financial advice with raises and promotions. He was eventually able to get to the point where they paid off the mortgage and then could live off his wife’s teacher salary. He ended up retiring as a department head in a 500 employee sized company and was banking his salary in excess of $100k. He retired a couple years early but could have realistically retired at 55.
Oooh that’s brilliant
‘Green flag’ for me-applies to any gender identity-ability to admit having been wrong…
🎯🎯
Green flag: A man who does the dishes willingly, has a great sense of humor, loves animals, plants, and is good with children. Playing the guitar is a big plus. Been with mine for 25 years.
Thanks
Good morning yall.
Morning!
Texans saying they want to secede is like toddlers saying they want to shop for and cook dinner. they don't have the tools to do it themselves, but it's the way they've chosen to express displeasure.
Regarding your comment about COVID and faith in humanity in the context of alien arrival: I share that opinion. There’s an old video game called “Plague, Inc” where you play the role of a pandemic trying to kill off all of humanity. It’s tragic that a game with so bleak of a premise is more optimistic about the reaction of mankind than what actually happened when SARS COV-2 reared its spike proteins.
Beau o'clock!
Many humans have a hard time believing they are not the most important thing in the Universe.
You noticed that too?
You noticed that too?
these direct and informative Roads sessions are so full of info, I watch them many times over. Thanks, Beau.
To the person asking about the additional income: 1st, DO buy the lawnmower because getting something like that is going to both be a useful tool and scratch any itch to spend more. 2nd, gradually invest in things that will help you save more, earn more, or protect you better. For example, paying down a mortgage/ car loan (less spent overall towards interest), home improvements like increased insulation/ more efficient and/ or stronger windows & doors, more energy/water efficient appliances (reducing utility bills long term), improvements that will harden your home against weather extremes (check for any that will lead to discounts on insurance). 3rd, learn about sinking funds/ savings buckets and fill them. 4th, invest in the future such as your retirement, future education for family members, your health, etc. 5th, use at least a small portion to help/ bless/ improve the lives of others, especially since you know what life is like on a tight budget.
Repair the floor from termite damage, and redo the bathroom so that we get rid of the built up mold and have a fan installed to hopefully prevent more mold in the future.
Also a new roof will be needed soon
It looks like Alitto is trying to throw his wife under the bus.
It looks like he is a coward and just doesn't want to admit the truth.
Alito & Thomas. Wasn't me , the wife .
Minn. since 1972 been 💙💙💙💙
Did you see that meteor arrive over Portugal?
Absolutely splendid sight. 🌠
"Welcome to Earth. Sorry about the mess."
Cool! Jan Negrey (frequent commenter on Beau’s channels) is in Poland as well. 😊
A "green flag" that my wife once said took me out of the "date once category" was that when we met I didn't drive a Corvette or seem to be going through a mid-life crisis.
Red/Green flags are definitely largely person-to-person. Heck, a woman who doesn't own at *least* one gaming platform (Xbox, PlayStation, PC, Nintendo) is a 🚩 red flag 🚩 to me. One of the biggest green flags I came across with my then-woman now-wife is the fact that she is also a Gamer herself. 😁
Aside form the obvious stuff, relationship parameters really *is* individualistic to the person.
Exactly.
I’m with you Beau - the level of distrust, and polarity during and after Covid was not on my bingo list. I was really let down when some people in my life, people I thought had common sense, showed they had very little common sense. The allegiance to that dumb red hat didn’t help either. I’m not young, but I hope I see a turn around in this country. I think it’s going to take a generation. 😢
Truth.
Budget guy: read Your Money or Your Life. I’ve used a system for decades. Paid off the house five years ago and paid cash for the last car. You’ve got a good head on your shoulders, I know you’ll do great!
Paying off your house is considered by financial advisors to me a poor investment. If you put that money (assuming you are paying a reasonable interest) into growth stocks or growth mutual funds you will have more money in the long term. Paying cash for everything else is always the best way to go.
I paid it off 9 years early. I’m now saving $2000/month. And I don’t have any concerns about rent increases. Paid less than the price of rent for a VERY long time. Not sure who these financial advisers are, but you can keep them. I pay cash for just about everything now. Have a nice day.
8:32 he's actually just a bear in the woods - green flag
He is a bear outside the woods 😂😂😂
Time to reset the bar Beau. Mines at my ankle and I am happier for it. When things go right it's a pleasant surprise. When things go wrong, well that's just normal, so no big deal.
Thanks!
17:19 "Don't Look Up" nailed this basic idea.
Getting too hot? Take a cold shower and stay in there until your skin is starting to do the goosebumps thing and you are beginning to feel seriously chilled. Do not dry yourself off, let the water evaporate off of you taking more heat away. For fifteen minutes or so the world will feel wonderfully warm. For as much as an hour later you'll feel 'comfortable enough'. After another hour or three, repeat. (Make sure the drain is closed while you are showering, having your feet in 'not as cold as it was' water will still be losing heat.
I really like the "one raise behind" adjustment for lifestyle tip.
The rule of thumb I've used is to increase my retirement savings by a portion of the percentage of the raise; if it's a 5% raise, I might increase my retirement savings through my employer by 2% and it's both going into a fund that will help me later, and I won't "miss it."
As a recovering poor kid, that change is nebulous; I don't know what it looks like day to day to live with a 5% raise, so it's like "free money" for that extra amount going into savings.
Thanks for taking us along this road.
Good morning
An old quote I heard a long time ago… (pardon the language)
‘Fighting for Peace, is like fucking for virginity’
If you start the fight yes. If you are the victim is different.
If you go to a guy's house and he doesn't have books, don't stay.
A useful heuristic for determining if an event is supernatural:
It is not.
