Yes, there is a legit startup raising funds going on. I don't want to post the link - you can find it on Google if so inclined.

This is one of those times when you read the headline and it sounds like clickbait (not ragging on you, 'Bama), but it is, in fact, absolutely true. Wink

If that is what it takes to enhance your dining experience, you are dining with the wrong people.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

On the other hand, I'm good with it if it keeps the Millennials fat, happy, distracted, and paying into Social Security on my behalf.

Well, that's not any more useless an idea than the pet rock I suppose, and that guy made millions.

Anyway, I'll stick with my trusty salt shaker, thanks.

Oh, and you can control it with Alexa. "Hey Alexa, tell that bitch Smalty to give me some fucking salt!"
