Funniest snake oil theories

The impact of the monsters they breed are having a terrible effect on wild stocks including Sockeye Salmon in Canada. When will we ever learn, when it's far too late?

Why is it then, in 2010 we had one of the greatest Sockeye spawning runs in history?

Watching the Salmon Run of the Century at the Adams River, British Columbia | The Barefoot Nomad

Sockeye returns hurting on Fraser, Skeena rivers; pink, coho, and chinook salmon surge on B.C. coast

Salmon populations are cyclical and the species don't have the same cycles and are subject to a variety of stressors and understanding of these is utterly deficient.

There is a great deal of snake oil being peddled by various people about volatility of salmon populations most of it lacking significant scientific work.
 
That's good news! I don't conduct scientific experiments on fish stocks, I am aware of scare stories about various stocks though.

I got that info about Sockeye Salmon from a documentary I watched a few years ago. They apparently showed Bears starving because they would not eat the North Atlantic Salmon which had replaced the native Sockeye.

The media clearly cant be trusted on anything, even the weather forecasts here are rubbish, I just look out of the window these days, yup wet again 🙄
 
Clearly NOT a country dweller!😉

DO NOT cut in half!:no:
You cut off the head - with a knife - to get the purest oil.

(Cut off the tail end and you just get sh*t....no onder so many stupid people are anti snake oil......they use the wrong type!):spin:😀


We don't have many snakes of the traditional kind here, just Adders and they are rare. The more common Banker Snake has much more oil, but it's vastly overpriced and liable to leave you with bad debt 🙄
 
And some do suffer, reading their comments, every time they put music on the noise, interference, digital artefacts cheap cables every listening session is a torturous event leading to many happy hours of tweaking to try and solve some imaginary problem.
Myself for a serious listening session I follow a set procedure:
Boot the kids out.
Gag the missis.
Imbibe a generous quantity of Carlsberg Special View (Tennants Extra for our Scottish brothers).
Put on the music and drift away🙂
 
Ah but marce, how can you ever expect to hear the 'improvement' an upgrade mains cable can make if you dull your senses with that stuff. You need a minimum of a 21 year old malt whiskey 😉

Audiophillia Nervosa, watch out it's contagious!

There must be enough to make a documentary by now -

This sad and lonely man claims to be able to hear the difference between an oak cone and a pinecone, he is now beyond reason or help :spin:
 
After months of our drinks with da' cheap **** in whiskey cokes......The other day my brother-in-law scared up some sweet-rum .............I could taste downright sugar content......
My wife has some homemade Tia-Maries.........it's still setting in the freezer some Dozens of years old.
Thawed out you could make out the aroma.........

Trouble with that is each time waking up in the dungeon the next morning, ball-gagged, and the Mistress putting on a surf rock record.
Not complaining, but somewhat exhausting.

Extendedly aged meat is also becoming popular in the supermarkets here.
we had some well known supermarket names food scandals
(old meat; technical salt sold as kitchen salt made in poland,..."bio" food$,...)
they re-processed old meat. getting rid of fungus first - put it vinegar - making a meatloaf. (lots of spices for sure...)

I was quite adventuresome in China and survived, the wife won't go back (most likely the possible rat in the cheapo hot pot).

28 days seems to be the norm for dry aged beef here, the most I found was 140 days. In olden times I had a butcher that dry aged until 2-3 inches of black wiskers formed, quite tasty. He passed away at 55 unfortunately and was quickly dismissed by all the vacu-packers as an eccentric.
