    The far left has pushed me (far, far) away...

    Ever since I moved to the Portland metro area, I've been slowly moving to the right politically. It is largely the result of resisting the ultra-left's attempts to claim dominion over every aspect of social policy and beyond. It's become clear that the far left is engaged in a political power...

    Daily Dose of music in Ymir's brain

    Looks like this thread has been neglected. I guess it's mine now. Rain. Constantly. Looks like thunder is coming.

    Reincarnation: Explorations

    To my thinking, non-dual existence is always the case. Non-dual perception, however, seems like a contradiction of terms. Given how entrapped most people are by the motions of their thinking, what most people probably mean by non-dual experience is a relative cessation of thought. The first...

    What celebrities have you met in person?

    I've seen many famous musicians in person; System of a Down, Rage Against the Machine, Smashmouth, The Mars Volta, Willie Nelson. Tons of others, but I can't remember because I was hhh...having so much fun. I once touched Bernie Sanders during a handshake orgy at one of his Portland Rallies. I...

    Reincarnation: Explorations

    My understanding is that consciousness flows through the body like electricity flows through a circuit board. Break the circuit board, and electricity simply follows another path. My hunch is that as we follow our path through life, consciousness is quietly gathering information necessary for...

    Who and what is a Bodhisattva?

    I kind of figured. This topic has piqued my interest. I made a thread about it, so if you're interested in elaborating on your views, I'd be delighted to hear them. I'm sure others would as well. http://www.religiousforums.com/threads/reincarnation-explorations.189903/

    Reincarnation: Explorations

    This thread is intended to explore and examine reincarnation. The thread is designed to be fairly open-ended for discussion with little constraint on the topic. Questions to get the ball rolling: Are we under any control over our next incarnation? If so, to what degree? Is this control...

    Wingsuit Base Jumping [VIDEO]

    Donald Trump charged with raping, beating, and tying up 13 year old girl

    Actually, I was responsible. Had you put together all the evidence, you would've known that. :D

    Donald Trump charged with raping, beating, and tying up 13 year old girl

    These kinds of charges happen all the time with high status public figures with a lot of money. Even at worst, the plaintiff could probably make out with a small settlement just so the defendant can get out of the public eye. It's especially sensitive given that it's election time. Having said...

    Who and what is a Bodhisattva?

    My impression is that reincarnation into physical form is quite beyond anyone's control, but perhaps I'm a little naive. How can one be certain they will not arrive into another meat bag after physical death? I have many ideas related to reincarnation, but I suppose this isn't the place to...

    Trump's Proposed Tax Brackets and National Debt

    From donaldjtrump.com: "With this huge reduction in rates, many of the current exemptions and deductions will become unnecessary or redundant. Those within the 10% bracket will keep all or most of their current deductions. Those within the 20% bracket will keep more than half of their current...

    Trump's Proposed Tax Brackets and National Debt

    With the national debt at 19 trillion dollars, how on earth could the US afford to utilize tax brackets like this? Is it just me, or does this strike anyone else as insane?

    The Open Secret to Moist & Tender Meat

    To be honest, I never even use kosher salt. :D

    The Open Secret to Moist & Tender Meat

    How dare you! I suppose by the time I roll out of bed in the late morning to prepare the pork roast, it has been about 16 hours submerged in the brine.

    The Open Secret to Moist & Tender Meat

    I have never done a so-called "dry brine," which could more accurately be referred to as "curing." My impression is that (wet) brining will improve the moisture of meats, regardless of fat content. Rendered fat will indeed make a meat more juicy, but brining it will make it juicier still.

    The Open Secret to Moist & Tender Meat

    Me too. I used the same brine as the one posted here. By far the most moist and tender turkey I've had.

    The Open Secret to Moist & Tender Meat

    Many food addicts will go to great lengths to preserve and enhance the moisture and tenderness of their meats, but it would appear that still few individuals regularly utilize perhaps the most effective means of increasing the moisture and tenderness of their meats. Brine. Brining meats...
