Olietta Stainless Steel Olive Oil Bottle – Item of the Day

The Survival Podcast Posted on by  

Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend. Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is the Olietta Olive Oil Dispenser Bottle. I’ve been through more olive oil bottles than I care to admit, and if I’m honest, it’s mostly because I’ve got butterfingers. My first olive oil bottle was a beautiful ceramic piece that my wife, Dorothy, accidentally knocked off the counter—oops. Then there was the second one, another ceramic beauty, smashed to pieces by a well-meaning … Continue reading →

Today is an episode of Friday Fusions, a series that combines my direction and source selection with the virtual AI hosts in Google Gemini Notebook.

These Friday episodes let me bring you additional content while continuing to produce the four regular TSPC episodes I host each week. AI can make mistakes, mispronounce words or occasionally state something with more confidence than accuracy, so verify anything important before acting on it. The … Continue reading →

Today we are joined by Julie Abels to discuss why making art still matters in a world where AI can generate polished images in seconds. The question is no longer whether machines can make impressive images, they obviously can. The more important question is what happens to us when we stop doing the work of creating things ourselves. Julie’s position is that making art is about far more than the finished product. Drawing, painting and creating by hand develop observation, patience, judgment, problem solving and perseverance. Those are not simply artistic skills. They are human skills that transfer into almost … Continue reading →

One of the real surprises over the years are how much people have love my cooking episodes.  We have talked about cooking fish and game, holiday meals, eating cheap, cutting our own meat and a ton more.  Today I think might just do a bit of all that.
