  • Used to belong to a Homebrewing forum (beer, not computer servers), and they had monthly post about someone wanting to infuse their beer with tobacco. Which is where I learned that it will kill ya dead. Tobacco can be used externally to reduce swelling, chew on a wasp sting will prevent a lot of it. Or if you’re looking for trouble late in life I guess you could smoke it also, though that one seems a great deal less compelling to me.

    Re-iterate - Don’t eat any food made with tobacco, it will harm you at the very least.




  • Nationalism vs Patriotism

    Nationalism - identification with one’s own nation and support for its interests, especially to the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations.

    Patriotism - the quality of being patriotic; devotion to and vigorous support for one’s country.







  • Trade is good, being completely reliant on another country to deliver the things you need is bad. Especially if you have no idea how to make the things you need. What’s doubly bad is relying on a country that says they want to be ready to go to war with you in three years.

    Trade is good, but we need to know how to make the stuff we rely on daily. If WW3 were to start, and we were to get cut off from our trading partners, we need to know how to make the things we require to continue to exist. I don’t think the video is trying to convince us to never buy another foreign product. I think it’s telling us we need to retain the knowledge that is required to make things in the US, so the country doesn’t grind to a halt in the event of an emergency.
