Yup, it's a lot of meat. After bones are removed, it's about 800 pounds for the last one. Err... I think? I didn't actually weigh it all.
I should like to try venison bologna. I made jerky and sausages. They are delicious.
Yes, it's similar to venison fat - though I've not noticed any film on my teeth. I've never added beef fat to it, though I have often cooked it in a cast iron pan and used bacon grease. (That may sound odd, but it's delightful.) I usually get a couple of pigs from the neighbor.
I don't do pemmican but I do have many, many tons of blueberries. (I own a bunch of blueberry fields that are commercially harvested. Pics available on request - it's beautiful.) The blueberry fields are located in Vienna, ME.
I've got four giant chest freezers and two freezers that are attached to the fridge. I'm actually going to buy a fifth one when I get a chance to get down into the city. I just haven't gotten there yet, I've been pretty busy.
To add to this, I often have guests. So, I go through a whole lot of food. In theory, it's just my girlfriend and I. However, there's a bunch of parties and guests that show up. Each year, I get a couple of pigs and at least a half a cow. My garden is just about 2 acres - I think. I haven't actually measured it. It keeps getting bigger. That gets harvested and preserved/eaten.
I didn't start off with this as a goal. But, more or less, my food pretty much all comes from local sources - with some exceptions. The exception being things like flour and I've actually considered planting a small field with wheat and another with rye. I already have a tractor, so it's not that much more work. There's a place to get both processed and it's not too far away.
But no, this wasn't actually my goal. It just kinda happened. I'd never actually grown anything, prior to retiring.
Longer, really. My last one dressed out to about 1400 pounds and there's still some left. I have my eye on a specific moose this year (I harvest specific animals, it's that easy to hunt here) and he looks like he'll be about the same. I expect the meat to last a few years. I harvest a whitetail every year (up to about 320#, dressed) and the neighbor's farm supplies my beef and most of my fowl. The rest of my meat usually comes form what I catch fishing. I've got a few freezers that I keep it all in, as well as smoking and dehydrating.
For being retired, I am awfully busy. Still, it's enjoyable and I have a greater respect for what I eat. There's no moral reasons for this, in my case. I just like growing and harvesting, as well as hunting and fishing. I like knowing that the animal I took was healthy and is sustainable, but that's not really my motives. I just like tasty food.
Moose is a bit like a gamier venison. One of the favorite ways is ground moose. It's got a different fat content, so you want to make your burgers with cold hands and maybe put some breadcrumbs into the burger to keep it together better. There's a whole lot of meat on a moose. There's a limit to how many are harvested each year so we enter a lottery for moose permits.
Because I got my moose permit, I'm going to try to grand-slam this year. That's a deer, moose, turkey, and a bear. I've already found the deer and the moose but my bear bait buckets are hardly being hit. I'll end up having to bait down in Central Maine, as well. It just widens the scope and makes it more likely to hit. I'll put them up near the blueberry fields. Bear is best served piping hot. If you let it cool, the fat starts to congeal. So, eat it hot.
The boomers really didn't get much power until later than those years you listed. Look at the age of politicians and then look at the birth years for the boomer generation.
I have fairly decent DSL, as do many of my local peers. I'm outside of Rangeley, Maine - if you want to see how far I am from either of those two stores.
I don't think there's even a local place to get such a device.
My question is about the "most." That seems really unlikely. I've never seen them on display - though I know my daughter owns one. (She lives elsewhere. She asked me which device she should get, I recommended the Roku over the Fire.) She's not very typical, either. She's fairly well paid, educated, and a bit of a geek.
VPNs at the browser level can make sense. Maybe you only want to mask your browser traffic? Maybe you use more than one browser and want one masked? I can probably come up with a bunch of other good reasons.
I am indeed a condescending prick. Though you point to a different thought process. The vast majority of people I spend time with don't actually go to either of those two stores. (See, I told you that you were correct about my being a prick.)
However, they don't go 'cause those stores are quite a long ways away.
Need? Nobody "needs" it. Want? It'd appear lots of people want it. If the user wants to add it, I'm pretty sure that makes it not bloatware. Bloatware is from the vendor. The user adding stuff isn't really bloatware, at least in my thinking.
You're gonna argue for fewer choices... I'm not sure we can have a productive conversation.
Umm... They do have VPN extensions that change your proxy settings and custom new tab extensions. Those kinda presuppose the ability to do both of those things. That's probably, you know, why they allow it.
I'm not sure that's true. It seems unlikely, actually. I'm not sure that anyone I regularly speak with, in meatspace, knows what one is. I know, but I'm a geek.

And they are donut seeds.
I bought, and restored, a tow truck. I have towed one vehicle with it. This is a hole in my life.
This might result in that oft mention divorce.
They are clothing optional, but very hairy.
No, you don't.
I use none of them. I use Windows for my phone. I have zero non-default apps loaded. Then again, there aren't many to load.
Yet, so many of your posts appear to be trying to do just that. Hmm...
I wonder what happened to the Linux kernel fork, for similar reasons?
You write like that, and complain about English fluency. Wow...
No. Tax evasion is illegal. Tax avoidance is legal and smart.

There is lots of taxation in Somalia. You just don't recognize the governments that impose those taxes.
There's a whole lot if government in Somalia. You may know them by the name, 'warlords.'

I qualify for a lot of that, actually. I don't make my own tools. There are more efficient means.
Given that I personally clean the vast majority if my meat, I'm pretty sure it is clean meat. This year, I even got my moose permit. It will be tasty.

That would scare me. They probably should be in a different business.

Well, given his last name, he's probably not going to side with the Nazis.
I'm stoned right now. Hell, I think my feet are on backwards. How stoned do I have to get to cause death? Do I need to catch the gay, first?
