  • The history of food is as old as human civilization itself, with various cultures developing unique cuisines and culinary traditions over millennia. Here's a brief overview of some key moments and developments in food history:

    Hunter-Gatherer Era: For thousands of years, early humans survived by hunting animals and gathering edible plants. This period laid the foundation for basic cooking techniques such as roasting and boiling.

    Agricultural Revolution (10,000 BCE): The transition from hunter-gatherer societies to settled agricultural communities marked a significant turning point in food history. The cultivation of crops such as wheat, rice, and barley led to the development of farming villages and the domestication of animals for food.

    Ancient Civilizations: Civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, and the Indus Valley contributed to the advancement of agriculture, irrigation systems, and culinary practices. They developed cooking methods, fermentation techniques, and food preservation methods like drying and salting.

    Classical Era (Greece and Rome): Greek and Roman civilizations greatly influenced Western culinary traditions. They introduced olive oil, wine, and various herbs and spices to cooking. The Greeks also established the concept of symposia, social gatherings where food, wine, and conversation were central.

    Medieval Europe: The Middle Ages saw the rise of feudalism and the dominance of the Catholic Church in Europe. Monasteries played a crucial role in preserving and developing culinary techniques. The use of spices, herbs, and exotic ingredients became more widespread among the nobility.

    Age of Exploration (15th–17th centuries): European exploration of the Americas, Asia, and Africa brought about the Columbian Exchange, which facilitated the global exchange of foods, plants, and animals. Potatoes, tomatoes, corn, and chili peppers were introduced to Europe, while coffee, tea, and spices became more accessible.

    Industrial Revolution (18th–19th centuries): Technological advancements revolutionized food production, transportation, and preservation. Canned foods, refrigeration, and pasteurization transformed the way people consumed and accessed food. Mass production and urbanization also led to the rise of fast food and convenience foods.

    20th Century: The 20th century saw further industrialization of food production, as well as the emergence of food science and technology. Fast food chains proliferated, and processed foods became ubiquitous in Western diets. However, there was also a growing interest in organic and sustainable food practices.

    Contemporary Food Trends: In recent decades, there has been a resurgence of interest in traditional and regional cuisines, as well as a focus on health, sustainability, and ethical food production. Food globalization continues, with fusion cuisines and cross-cultural culinary influences becoming more prominent.

    Throughout history, food has not only been essential for survival but also a reflection of cultural identity, social status, and economic conditions. The evolution of culinary traditions and food systems has been shaped by a complex interplay of factors, including geography, politics, religion, technology, and globalization.

  • Not all bears sleep in winter, you have to be especially careful with them !!

    There are bears that do not hibernate. While most bears traditionally undergo hibernation, such as female bears who give birth during this time and their cubs, approximately one-third of the bear population may remain active even during this period. Middle-aged and older individuals, especially males, continue to move around in forests and mountains. So, if there is enough food, bears do not retreat to their winter dens, and you might even encounter bear footprints in snowy mountains when winter is harsher than we’ve become accustomed to in recent years.

  • —GERMANOPHOBIA/ANTIGERMANISM: EXPOSING ANTI-GERMAN RACISTS. COMMENTS MADE BY GERMANOPHOBES AND TEUTOPHOBES (PART 1)—

    Some people don't understand that a country is inhabited by people belonging to the same ethnicity/race, who speak the same language, share the same culture, history and past, who eat the same typical, traditional, regional, national food and have the same customs, traditions and beliefs (today the ethnic peoples of #Europe are disappearing due to mass and uncontrolled #migration, #miscegenation, crossbreeding, #multiculturalism, racial and sexual #diversity, #homosexuality, the destruction of values and principles, forced #inclusion, same-sex unions —endorsed by the state and the Catholic church—, homoparental adoptions, substitution and replacement of the traditional family, #abortion —consensual murder of unborn human beings—, etc.).

    What the hell do foreign invaders (migrants, #refugees, asylum seekers, expats, exiles, etc.) expect to see/find in countries where the majority of the population is homogeneous, has the same origin, the same idiosyncrasy and believes in the same "god"? People of the same race as them? Mosques, synagogues, Buddhist temples, Shinto temples, Hindu temples? People who speak the same language as them? The same laws as in their home countries? Customs, traditions, beliefs and typical food of their home countries? They're NOT in their fucking shithole countries, they're in THE COUNTRY OF THE GERMAN PEOPLE!

    They should know that if they come to #Germany, they'll be surrounded by millions of Germans who OBVIOUSLY speak #German, who eat pork (pork-chops), potatoes and sausages, who drink beer, who love football, German cars and German women, who have similar physical features (due to our race) as well as similar or the same behaviors/attitudes/characteristics/traits typical of our nationality and culture.

    If you hate Germans so much, why the hell are you living in Germany? Stay in your home country so you don't miss your language, cuisine, laws, customs and traditions or move to a country that is similar to yours. Germany was NOT founded and developed by my ancestors for a horde of anti-German racists from the third world to come and tell us that we're "nosy", that we're "terrible drivers", that our food "sucks", that our language is the "worst sounding language in the world", that older German women shouldn't dye their hair (I remind you that older women in your countries dye their hair blonde, wear blue contact lenses and lighten their skin to "look" like older German/European women), that our rules, policies and laws are "ridiculous" and that we're "racist".

    Would you say the same if your country was invaded every single day by thousands of Africans, Middle Easterners and South Americans? If your culture, customs, traditions and beliefs were replaced with the "culture", customs, traditions and beliefs of people who hate your country and it population? If you had to deal on a daily basis with foreigners who insult you, beat you up and/or attack you just because you have a different skin colour? It's very easy to give your opinion and call us "racist" when you're not facing a population replacement ( #TheGreatReplacement ) and a planned genocide ( #WhiteGenocide ).

    On the other hand, I also think that the best Germans were killed in #WWI and #WWII, however, there are still Germans (descendants of those great men and women who died in both wars) who inherited not only their blood (lineage) but their character, willpower, mentality, courage, strength, dignity and pride and that we keep fighting despite having everything against us.

    I hope this Germanophobe has left Germany for good and never come back. We Germans don't need anything from invaders like him or any other.

  • So the now former Doritos spokesperson, Iván González Ranedo, has identified herself as 'anti-capitalist' and 'Marxist' in interviews, and claimed in one video to be for 'the abolition of [and to] destroy and annihilate the traditional monogamous nuclear family.'

    Doesn't this sound familiar? Like the Manifesto of BLM?

    We recognize that let many of our customers down.
    AT&T sent a letter to employees on network outage that occurred on February 22. The Large swathes of the U.S. Including San Francisco, Houston and Chicago.

    An incorrect process while working to expand our network, not a cyber attack.
    Making it right.

    Founding and Early Years (1877-1900):AT&T traces its roots back to the invention of the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876. Bell and his associates founded the Bell Telephone Company in 1877.

    In 1885, American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) was established as the long-distance division of Bell Telephone.
    AT&T became the dominant force in the U.S. telephone industry through the acquisition of regional telephone companies.


    Monopoly Era (1900-1984):By the early 20th century, AT&T had established a virtual monopoly over the telephone service in the United States.
    The company faced antitrust actions, leading to the Kingsbury Commitment in 1913, which allowed AT&T to maintain its monopoly but subjected it to some government regulation.
    AT&T's research arm, Bell Labs, became a major center for technological innovation during this period.

    Breakup of the Bell System (1984):In 1984, the U.S. Department of Justice, in an antitrust action, ordered the divestiture of AT&T's local telephone service operating companies. This breakup led to the creation of seven Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs).
    AT&T retained its long-distance services and equipment manufacturing, becoming a separate entity from the local telephone companies.

    Post-Divestiture Era (1984-2005):After the breakup, AT&T faced increased competition in the telecommunications industry.
    The company expanded into new areas, including computer manufacturing and financial services.
    In 1996, the Telecommunications Act was signed into law, further deregulating the industry and promoting competition.

    Rebranding and Mergers (2005 Onward):SBC Communications acquired AT&T Corp. in 2005, and the merged company adopted the name AT&T Inc.
    AT&T continued to grow through acquisitions, including the purchase of BellSouth in 2006.
    The company expanded its services beyond traditional telecommunication, entering the media and entertainment industry through acquisitions like DirecTV (2015) and Time Warner (2018).


    Recent Developments (2020s):As of my knowledge cutoff in January 2022, AT&T continued to evolve its business model, focusing on media and streaming services.
    The company launched HBO Max as its flagship streaming platform, offering a wide range of content.
    Ongoing developments in the industry and corporate strategies may have occurred since then.
