Four raw kidney beans will put an adult on the bathroom floor within three hours, and the slow cooker makes them five times worse.

The poison is phytohaemagglutinin. A lectin. The bean makes it so that anything eating it raw vomits the seed back out, which is exactly what happens: nausea within an hour, vomiting within three, then the other end, then a day in bed.

Raw red kidney beans carry 20,000 to 70,000 units of it. Properly boiled, 200 to 400. The difference is a hard boil for 10 minutes, and a hard boil is the one thing a slow cooker never does.

Cook the beans at 80 degrees for hours, the slow cooker's whole idea, and the toxin does not break down. It multiplies. Up to five times the raw dose, according to the FDA's own bug book, in a bean that looks cooked, tastes cooked and goes into a chilli that four people eat.

Britain logged 50 incidents between 1976 and 1989 and then stopped counting, because every one of them was the same story: a bag of dried beans, an overnight soak, a pot left on low, and a family ill by teatime.

The tin is safe because a factory boiled them for you, and the tin says ready to eat. The dried bag says soak and boil, in a font you need glasses for, under a picture of a farmhouse kitchen.

Nobody has ever needed to boil a steak for 10 minutes to stop it poisoning the table.

The bean is sold as the safe protein.

The best sports parents might be the quietest ones in the stands.

No drama.
No gossip.
No blaming refs.
No ripping coaches.
No constant complaining.

Just grateful for the chance to watch their kid compete.

This fall, bring less noise and more perspective.

Underrated life advice from someone who's 45 and been there... Leave a little early. The dinner. The party. The night out. So you still like how it ended. The last hour is rarely the best one. Tomorrow will thank you.

Boys Of Fall would not have been the same without my good friend @SeanPayton. This is Sean giving a pregame speech in Naperville, Illinois where he played High School football. This speech wasn’t scripted. He spoke from heart. Sean is a great football coach but he is a great communicator and motivator. This speech still gives me chills. Sean I am forever grateful. It’s football season everyone. KC

[Hector Resendez - Trade School Secrets @TS_Secrets]

One of my buddy’s sons skipped college and became an electrician at 18.

He was told either college or military were his only two options.

His parents weren’t exactly excited when he went to trade school. Actually they were a little embarrassed.

Most of their friends’ kids were going off to universities. Their son was showing up to job sites at 6am.

By 21 he was making $90k

By 24 he had his master electrician license making over $120k

At 27 he started taking his own jobs on the side for a total of $200k

Last year at 29 his little “electrician business” did $1.8M with 4 vans.

Funny how that works.

His parents used to explain why he didn’t go to college.

Now they tell everyone he owns an electrical company.

We need more 18-year-olds to know this path exists.

Day 229 tagging @mikeroweworks until more parents start bragging about trade school too.

Consider to RT if you agree.

@HawkEmDownChris Lessons abound here.

[Frio Daddio @JoeyRumfield]

I have understood this in my brain for at least 50 yrs, and not ever been able to explain it more plainly than this:

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

This PERFECTLY explains why ‘The Left’ is obsessed with being morally superior

“Did you ever ask yourself why it's always the weakest, least competent, and average IQ people who base their entire identity on morality and tolerance?”

Here’s the psychology behind it:

“Every human being carries the same deep drive to matter, to be respected, to reach something external, whether that's money, status, an attractive partner, or genuine skill at something. In the real world, all of these get measured through competence, strength, and intelligence, and that's exactly the problem for people who fall short on those measurements.

They still feel the drive, but they can't reach the goal, at least not to the degree others can, and unconsciously they experience the inferiority that comes with actual objective inferiority.

To avoid feeling useless and insignificant, they move the target. Instead of competence, the goal becomes being a good person, a goal defined entirely by them that requires no measurable skill, no competition, and no real work to declare victory in. This gets them the exact same feeling of accomplishment without ever having to develop any of the competence that would normally be required to earn it.

That's the path the weak and the incapable take because it's the only game left where they can still call themselves winners.”

You could spend 1000 years trying to come up with a better explanation for liberals and their mindset and you wouldn’t be able to, because this is it

If you fail at everything else, you simply make your entire life about being “morally superior”

The Tulsa (and Oklahoma) Little League scandal pretty much sums up everything that's wrong w/youth sports....and here's a hint...it aint the kids

It was a fantastic show.
The opener was Max Gomez of Taos. He did a fine job as well.

[Diomedes Appreciator @HomericFuturist]

“The curse of every ancient civilization was that its men in the end became unable to fight. Materialism, luxury, safety, even sometimes an almost modern sentimentality, weakened the fibre of each civilized race in turn; each became in the end a nation of pacifists, and then each was trodden under foot by some ruder people that had kept that virile fighting power the lack of which makes all other virtues useless and sometimes even harmful.”- Theodore Roosevelt

My first EQ, I was in a bar in Homer, AK. Glasses shook off the shelves. 100% certain that the guy from Dilley, TX (me) and my cowrkr from Snook, TX were THE most freaked out patrons. So much so that our 4th beers were on the house. Lol.
