Overnight Open Thread (7 Feb 2014)
— CDR M

NBC Tomfoolery

Ah, NBC telling tall tales again. Security researcher disputes NBC's Sochi hacking incident.

There's been a bit of blowback from the report, even from the expert that NBC turned to during its report on online security in Sochi, Russia. To begin with, the team actually wasn't even there, they were in Moscow, and this points to a bigger issue: the hacking that NBC News experienced would have likely been the same regardless of location, as it happened while hitting up Olympic-themed websites and willingly downloading (hostile) Android apps. It had nothing to do with connecting to public WiFi, at least in the instances shown during the report.

16 kick ass examples of Karma's sweet revenge.

Beer And Wine Pairings

Alright morons, you should be getting your Girl Scout cookies soon to nibble on while perusing the ONT. That being said, perhaps you should know your beer and wine pairings for Girl Scout cookies.

Compulsion Orgasmic

Woman wins right to fap at work. Compulsion orgasmic is a condition? Good lord, just about every guy suffers from this.

Brazilian woman Ana Catarian Bezerra, has won the right to masturbate and watch pornography in the workplace.

The 36-year-old accountant, suffers from a chemical imbalance that triggers anxiety and hypersexuality. She is said to need to masturbate for at least fifteen minutes every two hours.

The condition, that requires the sufferer to orgasm to relieve stress and anxiety, caused Ms Bezerra difficulty at work. At the peak of her condition she was having to masturbate up to forty-seven times a day.

This is a landmark trial, which see’s the condition known as ‘compulsion orgasmic’ and the need to orgasm recognized by law.


Somehow, I don't think this will fly in the States but you never know.

Green Shoots

Is it possible for a smidgen of sanity to take root in California? San Bernardino throws out pro-union old guard. Time will tell, but it's a start.

Allowance

So what is the "fair" allowance rate these days for kids? I told my kids they are unpaid interns. They're falling for it for now. I'm sure we'll have to start paying minimum wage for this at some point.

There's been a big jump in the number of parents who are giving their children allowances bigger than $10 or $20 a week, according to numbers crunched for Reuters by Baltimore-based money managers T. Rowe Price, which are derived from its annual Parents, Kids & Money surveys.

Meanwhile, tthe percentage of parents giving sub-$10 weekly stipends fell from 77.3 percent in 2011 to 68.4 percent in 2013, a drop of almost 9 percentage points, according to the survey.

It's a doctored photo: on.tnr.com/1d3F8zz If Obama and Mooch weren't such fascist assholes I'd actually be offended on their behalf. It's pretty clearly intended to be racist.

56 "Is it possible for a smidgen of sanity to take root in California?" It's crap like this that makes you sound stupid. San Bernardino is not a liberal part of the state, even it if might be more Democratic than you'd like. California is HUGE compared to whatever armpit stain of a state you come from, and there are huge swaths of it that are strongly conservative. There are even larger portions that are moderate or swing. Just because the state is politically controlled by the San Francisco bay area-West LA alliance doesn't mean crap about the rest of the state. Honestly, it's like you're some sort of ignorant foreigner.

141 Jenny Hates Her Phone: I'm with you on semi-generous allowances for kids.

I don't want to come off as just another liberal whiner, but my parents were ridiculous. They thought a quarter a week was good. I personally believe this is *one* of the reasons I never really learned personal monthly budgeting all that well and still have some trouble with it. Meanwhile most of my friends were getting at least $5. Bear in mind, this was in the late 1970s.

My approach to allowances for kids: be somewhat generous, say $20 a week (ducks for super-conservative horde members who think that's outrageous). BUT... (a) it can be docked for a bad attitude, skipping chores or just plain bad/defiant behavior; (b) parents get a say in how it gets spent and/or saved; and (c) anything above and beyond gets either a 'no' or a usurious repayment plan.

Thomas Starr King's statue was replaced with a life-size statue of Reagan in 2009, and the Reagan statue is in the Capitol Rotunda to this day. The base of the statue has pieces of the Berlin Wall. If you want to see the statue, visit the link below. To see the Berlin Wall pieces, look for the irregular part in the base of the statue; they are near the top of it.

165 "Who the hell does he think ordered the pogroms, the Tea Party? " Those damn conservative Tzars.... and later soviet atheists worried about any religious group undermining the cult of the state. Most of the early commies were nonpracticing Jews which gt]ot into politics because of the discrimination against them. Once in power they quickly took revenge against the Orthodox church. Once Stalin came to power he didn't trust any "Jewish" members of the communist party, as they had destroyed a church (he had been in seminary before becoming a bank robber) and overthrew the Tzar. What was to stop them from overthrowing the state and cult of personality he desired? So they, as a threat to Stalin's plans, got purged and the larger population of Jews subjected to continued pogroms.

191 My approach to allowances for kids: be somewhat generous, say $20 a week (ducks for super-conservative horde members who think that's outrageous). BUT... (a) it can be docked for a bad attitude, skipping chores or just plain bad/defiant behavior; (b) parents get a say in how it gets spent and/or saved; and (c) anything above and beyond gets either a 'no' or a usurious repayment plan. Posted by: qdpsteve at February 07, 2014 10:36 PM This. Allowances are granted on a sliding scale; it's stated at X, but actions, attitudes, behaviors, etc all have mark-down effects. Plus it's great at teaching the concepts of math! Twin The Youngest sasses off on Tuesday and you calmly look her in the eye and say "You just lost 20% of your allowance" and not say another word about it; come Friday when you're passing it out and you count out her allowance, then pull back the 20%...Math.Lesson.Learned. Learning the hard way sucks, but those lessons stick with you for a lifetime.

196 Allowance should be a minimum figure with the option to earn more with chores that are age appropriate. With two older boys and a girl it turned into a contest who could make the most money in our house. When a nine year old girl beats her twelve year old and fourteen year old brothers it gets ugly.

208 Best example I have seen in terms of fiscal parenting was with a friend of mine. The kids finished school and began to work while still living at home. He charged them half of their take home for room and board, they paid for cars, clothes, everything else on their own. When they moved out, he gave it back to them and said "This is what you can do when you save your money". Great lesson and it stayed with all 3 of the boys.

The salient point though is that document which he has released and claims is his "original" birth certificate is in fact demonstrably fake. No, none of this is going to move him from office, but the point remains that those of us who thought his reluctance to release his original birth certificate smelled from the very beginning (200 were exactly right. There *WAS* a fishy odor emanating from that direction, and the "birthers" were right. Of course, so was Joe McCarthy, for all the good it done him, or us.

That's pretty much what it says at the link, except that it is saying that it is the "original" that was altered back to the state it was in before it got a great big "canceled and reissued" stamp over it. 'Cause back in the day, that's what you did when a kid was adopted before moving to Indonesia and claiming citizenship rights under the name "Barry Soetero". You canceled the old one with a stamp, and reissued a new one with his new name.

It's pretty good on the horizontal, but as an old fart who has actually filled out forms with a typewriter, his vertical thing is much weaker. A lot of times, you pushed the clutch in on the roller and eyeballed yourself onto the line in the blank. That was especially the case for checkboxes. And that wouldn't preserve the vertical spacing.

"Conspiracy theorist" is just the conservative version of "Racist" when they want some issue to go away. It is a strawman tactic intended to stifle debate, and it is a lie. It does not require a "conspiracy" for Hawaii to produce a fake birth certificate and for Obama to present it as real. As mentioned before, all adopted children have a fake birth certificate, and it does not constitute a "conspiracy" because this sort of lying for a noble cause is an accepted and routine practice in our society.

282 It's pretty good on the horizontal, but as an old fart who has actually filled out forms with a typewriter, his vertical thing is much weaker. A lot of times, you pushed the clutch in on the roller and eyeballed yourself onto the line in the blank. That was especially the case for checkboxes. And that wouldn't preserve the vertical spacing. Posted by: cthulhu at February 07, 2014 11:16 PM (T1005) It's the horizontal spacing that is the most salient aspect. Typewritten characters MUST fall in specific spots according to the pitch of the type. In several places on the document, typewritten characters fall in places that are in between where they should be if they were typed in one setting at a typewriter. I've seen other attempted proofs that the document is fake, and many of them are much harder to understand. Lord Monckton's proof is elegant in it's simplicity.

Very good! Yes -- per wikipedia: "
The Selectric II had a lever (at the top left of the "carriage") that allowed characters to be shifted up to a half space to the left (for centering text, or for inserting a word one character longer or shorter in place of a deleted mistake), whereas the Selectric I did not. This option was available only on dual pitch models."



Unfortunately for his 1961 birth certificate, the Selectric II came out in 1971.

Posted by: qdpsteve at February 07, 2014 11:17 PM (HVI5a) Given that Obama spent years telling people he was born in Kenya, (A Fact which if it had been true, would obviously disqualify him from the office of the Presidency) It was not such an unreasonable thing to demand verifiable proof as to where he was born. His reluctance to present it also fueled the fire. You say it was the wrong hill to fight on, and if so, not the least reason for this was the fact that half of our side decided to fight on behalf of the enemy. I personally don't see the harm in waging broad spectrum fights on every hill. People complain about how weak kneed and milquetoastie we are, but when it comes to putting up a fight, we seldom seem to have enough zealots to wage it.

He may very well have been born in Hawaii, (Most likely place) I think the point though, is that he has thrown up thunder and dreck against anyone who demanded some decent quality proof of it.

323 No, there was no reason not to bring it up, especially considering how slimy Pres. Obama was when facing his early political opponents in Illinois (unsealing divorce records, disqualifying opponents, etc.) However, this was a fight that should have been staged before the 2008 election. Once he is certified by the board of elections, there is not a lot you can do. Once he won the presidency, there was even less you can do. I understand your and other's passion on this, and share it to an extent. However, at this point, it will be something for the historians to look back at with 20/20 hindsight. If we are lucky. There are a lot of reasons to dislike the guy, and at this point where he was born is way down on my list.

335 D-Lamp: fair enough, and of course reasonable people can disagree.

But I would just ask everyone here a question: let's go way off the deep end and imagine that the GOP finds its great conservative hope in 2016, someone who is truly conservative, successful, likeable, and *can actually win* in 2016. I'm speaking here hyothetically of course, but bear with me.

Now let's imagine that one of us here were to find out... he/she wasn't actually born in the US. He/she was born in Canada, or South Africa, or someplace else. Let's also imagine that this information, while found, is still so obscure that it can be reasonably assumed that the liberal-friendly press (but I repeat myself) won't find it.

We all know that if this *were* actually the case with the Dems' candidate, the truth would never come to light. So can you tell me, definitively, that Republicans would reveal the truth about their own candidate?

If you're the one making the accusation, then I'd say the onus falls on you to prove it. So far, the only evidence that exists points to him being born in Hawaii. None exists that suggests otherwise.

355 307 I learned on a manual typewriter. They had carriage releases that would allow you to move the carriage where you wanted it to be. Posted by: DamnDirtyRINO at February 07, 2014 11:32 PM (m0h0I) And it is perfectly reasonable to think someone would do this repeatedly, and in the middle of perfectly aligned text to boot? My recollection of using a manual typewriter is that when you finally released it, it would come to rest within the position of the normal type pitch.

Posted by: qdpsteve at February 07, 2014 07:49 PM (HVI5a)

357 It's the horizontal spacing that is the most salient aspect. Typewritten characters MUST fall in specific spots according to the pitch of the type.

In several places on the document, typewritten characters fall in places that are in between where they should be if they were typed in one setting at a typewriter.

I've seen other attempted proofs that the document is fake, and many of them are much harder to understand. Lord Monckton's proof is elegant in it's simplicity.



Posted by: D-Lamp at February 07, 2014 11:24 PM (bb5+k)


That could happen, easily enough, if you simply pulled the document out of the typewriter, unfinished, in order to work on another, and reloaded it later to complete the job. Look, I am sure there is a lot of fishy stuff about Obama's BC, but none of the evidence offered so far is dispositive. And no offense to Lord Monckton is implied.

365 Well, that sucks. We don't have an ice maker in our refrigerator. It was a way to save money at the time as we noted that the ice maker in the old unit had gone unused for years. But the refrigerator alcove in our place has the hookup for feeding an ice maker.

Today, at some unknown point, it started leaking. Fortunately, I was cooking tonight and noticed what at first appeared to be a spill. Then I noticed the mat in front of the refrigerator was all wet on the underside. I pulled out the fridge and discovered the valve for the ice maker feed was dripping steadily away.

So now the whole house is without incoming water until it can be fixed. I wish I could claim the skills to deal with it myself. The 24 hour Walmart in Canyon Country probably has everything I'd need for a temporary repair, at least.

Unfortunately, John McCain had a bigger eligibility problem then did Obama (Not in fact, but in perception by the public) and I suspect they had a "Gentleman's agreement" to ignore each other's eligibility issues. Of all the damn luck. We pick the ONLY candidate who couldn't challenge Obama on eligibility. At this point, there is no more political purpose to looking into Obama's past. The only benefit now is to demonstrate who the rubes were. I still regard that as potentially beneficial.

376 The accusations of racism can be funny though. Long story: Around three years ago, my company decided we were going to expand into California. We are based in Kentucky. The owner sat everyone in the company down one day and explained what was going on. During the Q&A session one of the guys (Who is black) asked him with a completely straight face "Are there a lot of Mexicans out there?" The owner (as well as the rest of us) kind of looked at him and tried to push past it, and the guy repeated it. The owner finally said "What do you think?" The entire room broke up laughing. However, of course, another guy (also black) yelled at the guy "You are a racist!!" So it is about a year later. We sent a small group out to help the new plant get started. I was sent out to help set up the lab. So I am on the smoke deck one night with a guy from back home (who is black.) One of the other employees walks up. We all say hello. The guy from back home goes in so it is just me out on the deck with the Hispanic guy (I having decided to have another cigarette.) He looks at me after the other guy left and says: "So you're all from Kentucky?" I kind of smiled and said, "Yeah, from Loouisville." He looks at me and says "There a lot of black people there?" I could not help but start laughing.

If the valve is mounted on a plate, remove the plate and see if the valve is on plastic tubing. If it is, pull it out of the wall, fold it over, and wrap it thoroughly with rubber bands. That should do it.

Can't really tell. It's very low to the ground and lacking in light to see by. I was main;y concerned with getting something under it and then turning off the main feed to the house. The only thing I could find that would fit under it was a frying pan. Turning on the kitchen and downstairs bathroom sinks full blast deprived it of water pretty quickly.

If we can get a guy out to fix it tomorrow it won't be too bad. If we don't need to flush too often. I suppose we can turn the water back on if necessary for long enough to refill the toilet tank.

If the feed tube is copper (and your not going to use it) Cut it bend it 180deg (a tight u essentially) and pinch that 180deg as tight as you can with a pair of pliers. Should seal it well enough to turn your wter back on. Also if it is a stab type hook up there will be a valve at it's source.

416 TFG was born in Honolulu

Come on, in 1961 a pregnant college student is going to fly halfway around the world on some rickety planes to give birth in a shithole hospital in Nairobi? It's also unlikely that Barry Sr would bring her there to give birth to a mixed race baby and show off his white wife to his ebony black family. Africans aren't all that enlightened about interracial relationships now, and they certainly weren't in 1961

It's not the where that Jugears doesn't want the public to know, it's possibly the who listed under "father"

It may be either "unknown" or "Franklin Marshall Davis"

439 If you're the one making the accusation, then I'd say the onus falls on you to prove it. So far, the only evidence that exists points to him being born in Hawaii. None exists that suggests otherwise. Posted by: DamnDirtyRINO at February 07, 2014 11:47 PM (m0h0I) There is a little bit that suggest otherwise, and it is circumstantial. Stanley Ann's Aunt happened to live in Canada, and later in Blaine Washington. (Just across the border from Whiterock Canada.) For the circumstance of a young white girl getting pregnant by a black man in 1961, it wouldn't have been unreasonable to send her off to live with a relative till the baby was born. August 19, Stanley Ann Dunham was in Seattle. I am told that it would have been unusual to have allowed a two week old infant to fly on a commercial airliner in 1961, but that doesn't necessarily prove it didn't happen. There's more, but nothing really compelling. In any case, like I said, the one running for office ought to prove he's qualified, not that we should have to prove he isn't.

Check out pictures of his maternal grandfather in his youth. Ignoring the tint, the resemblance is very close in a few I've seen.

It seems apparent Obama doesn't want the full details of his birth to come out. I bet if you gathered some DNA samples from his supposed Kenyan half-siblings, you'd run into extreme resistance trying to get a sample from BHO.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at February 07, 2014 11:50 PM (pFqpP) And you think that it is reasonable to suspect that such a thing occurred? Oddly enough, another Hawaiian birth certificate given this pitch treatment doesn't show such anomalies, but you are right.

Posted by: DamnDirtyRINO at February 07, 2014 11:55 PM (m0h0I) Let's see. 1961 Hawaii government probably had a lot of US military surplus for office equipment and furniture since it is expensive as hell to ship all that stuff over, so the typewriters were probably the worst of the lot that the US govt had, but the best the Hawaii government had.

483 I just looked at D-Lamp's link to the PDF birth certificate at American Thinker. Karl Denninger at Market Ticker analyzed the hell out of that when it was first released. It is a laughable forgery. Even *I* know enough to flatten the layers on an Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop file before saving it as a PDF. That's right: I, myself, could have made a more believable forgery that what the White House itself released to great public fanfare. Since I do not believe that Obama and his minions are mere incompetents, I can only conclude that the release of that "birth certificate" was a giant FU to the American public. *** And who exactly coined the word "birther" in the first place? I'd really like to know. The term "truther" was already in widespread use before then, referring to those pathetic individuals who asserted that the 9/11 attacks were some sort of elaborate conspiracy. The use of "birther" to describe people who had perfectly legitimate questions as to Obama's qualification for high office would seem to be a sort of pre-emptive guilt by association.

I honestly think the mismatches are attributable to the non-flatness of the scan of the form in question. it's clear that the upper left corner was curled and it's not unreasonable to suspect that the perceived distance differences are a result of the projection of a 3d paper onto a 2d scan.

A lot of reasonable people have been undeservedly tarred with that brush. The most likely explanation is that Obama was born in Hawaii, but the most promising alternate is that he might have been born in Canada. There is some circumstantial evidence to support such a theory, but nothing truly compelling.

"Great Lakes Record Ice Cover".

And beneath the cited NYT piece is another, from WUWT, pointing out that 2/3 of the contiguous US is currently under snow cover.

I wonder if the author of the "End of Snow" piece is out tonight on the slopes ,enjoying the deep powder under the moonlight?

Second, if they had anything in the way of serious evidence, it surely would have come out during the 2008 campaign. I've no doubt some friend of the Clinton would have ponied up a lot of cash for such evidence.

The only way I can see this not putting an end to the whole issue is if the Clinton campaign were presented with the threat, "You shoot our guy down and your entire term of office will be dominated with riots that make the days following the King verdict look like a Lakers championship."

Stop it! You're making me hungry!



One of my wildest culinary adventures was going to the Culinary Institute of America's "Greystone" restaurant in Napa, looking over the menu, and telling the server that I had expected to see a tasting menu. He said, "hold on", went away for a bit, came back and named a price. We waddled out of there three and a half hours later.....



The CIA is a premier top-quality cooking school. We figure that the deal in the back was that anyone who needed to make up a lesson missed in the previous year could get it approved by the master chefs and served to table 12. It was amazing! Our server was training for Sommelier and did wine pairings.

Posted by: Epobirs at February 08, 2014 12:51 AM (bPxS6) None ever got as far before. Charles Evan Hughes was Questioned on his birth circumstances, so was George Romney. Apart from that, none had ever gone around telling people they were born in a foreign country before, either. When someone raises suspicion, it is reasonable to think authorities should act on it.

Being born in another land isn't under his control (obviously I think that provision is of great importance though) but fibbing/bragging about having been born somewhere else? That's a personal character issue with TFG himself. It alone should be a big enough red flag for the American public to reject him.

It was beyond good, it was awesome -- they'd put a few things on each plate, and the plates were stacking up. When the server came, we had him explain each thing to us....then we'd have each one and savor it [usually another plate would show up during this], and the BH and I would compare thoughts about it [and another plate might show up]. Thank God none of them were full-sized, 'cause we'd have 'sploded.




They don't allow first-year students to cook for the restaurant -- it's something like: first years bus, second years prep, third years sous-chef, and only the students who are about to graduate actually cook -- and they are being watched over by master-chefs who critique the quality of their output, the efficiency of their methods, maintenance of hygiene and safety, and their presentation.

No, the diners don't fill out cards. The master-chefs are doing the evaluations, and they're looking to graduate people to work in top restaurants -- you can get as many demerits from being slow or fucking up your workflow as from serving something that doesn't taste right. Working in the restaurant is training -- how orders surge and ebb, how you can be cruising along with steaks and chicken and have a lone venison order cramp your style, how much you can rely on other people and how much you can't, and how moving something from the left side of a burner to the right can break hygiene.

632 I'm getting the impression that you aren't applying your theory to the actual evidence. I look at it and I see no reasonable way to fit your theory to the fact of it's existence. Well that's nice. The white sheet which the measurements are on is a photograph of a scan/facsimile. Not like there could be any lens distortion there. If one starts measuring from the right to the left of the image, the "half space" appears between "Hussein" and "Barack", not "Hussein" and "Obama". So that indicates an imprecision somewhere, and shows that the grid spacing is subject to a bias based on the location of the text used for a baseline. Look, there are tons of reasons to despise TFG, but using confirmation bias is not a good one.

645 Look, there are tons of reasons to despise TFG, but using confirmation bias is not a good one. Posted by: dudenolongerinsantacruz at February 08, 2014 01:47 AM (PGXA That's very good advice. I'm thinking you might take a swig of it as well. I honestly cannot fathom how you can attempt to explain these very obvious discontinuities on " lens distortion ". Look at the misplaced "X" right beneath the "B" in Barack. Notice "Barack is perfect, but the X is distinctly wrong. Look at the "A" in "August" while "Hussein" and "Hospital" are in perfect alignment. The word "None" lines up with the grid, but directly up above it, the word "August" does not. It just seems to be asking a lot out of a sloppy typewriter to be so discriminatory in some cases, but not others.

737 I like both chicago and NY style pizza. I like them both because they are unique, and to me there is no such thing as bad pizza ( well not counting the one I got in a general store in Maine where the old women pulled out a rolling pin to spread out the dough). There is a town around 1/2 hour or so north of chicago called mundelein, and whenever I'm out there I hit this place called Bill's pub. The pizza there is fucking incredible. I grew up on NY style, and there is a ton of good NY style by me but that double crust bill pub stuff is just frigging insane. You want to eat it till you explode. You need a knife and fork to eat it, which was something I wasn't quite used to, but I wouldn't care if I needed fucking chop sticks. I crave that pizza all year long.

I'm not saying this because I flew over at 30,000 feet -- I did a bit of boots-on-the-ground investigation last May. But I'm specifically looking to be a little bit further out than the usual transplants in the Containment Area. I can get more acreage there; I can live more cheaply there; I can do things more freely there, and I can have more opportunities to contribute to my community there....but not if my neighbors are going to start plinking at me.



Incidentally, the BH has successfully set up a branch of her tech support department in High Point. On her very first visit there, before it was set-up, her rental car's tires were slashed in her hotel's parking lot. After she'd hired everyone in and set things up, her supervisor had a run-in at work with an employee who lived in the same apartment complex that he did.....and his tires were slashed overnight some days later. WTF is with tire-slashing in the Triad? Is that shit common in all of NC?

757 742 Actually low pH is good. It means the acidity is high. A quick check showed that most commercial mayo is between 4.2-4.5 pH. The big one you watch out for is Botulinum. The bacteria that produces it cannot grow below 4.7ish. The food places I have worked have usually used 4.5 as a hard ceiling and never allowed any product to be shipped above that threshold. The only time I have ever seen it hit was with a run of ranch dressing in dipping cups. A new tech was running the line and ok'd it to run. Thankfully I reviewed the records and put the product on hold and we eventually destroyed all of the cups. Costly error on her part. The reason for the concern is that pH meters are kind of ... inaccurate depending on the product. Especially if it has oil (which both mayo and ranch do) as it has a tendency to gunk up the probes and cause them to be somewhat inaccurate. So while 4.5 could be safe, you could be closer to the dangerous 4.7 level than you think you are.

781 783 One thing about mass produced food- it is pretty massively tested and regulated. The regulation thing is kind of a paper tiger though. In 12 years I have seen maybe 3 snap FDA inspections. This was partly because I have mostly been in the acidified foods, so our risk is low. I have heard meat and dairy manufacturers have many more regular snap inspections. The other thing to realize is most food companies run on very, very narrow margins. A big food scare can put you out of business very quickly if you screw up. They pop up every couple of years with someone doing something stupid and then everyone clamps down and tightens up their programs when it happens to the other guy. Like that peanut butter thing a couple years ago. I say you do not want to know about your food mostly because of the ick factor than any food safety/health concerns.

782  @ 783 [cthulhu] -- I'm guessing there's plenty of Amish communities around there where you can take beef on the hoof for processing. And once you get that first porterhouse in your belly, you'll be OK with the cattle part of it.

As for the chickens -- well, there are worse things you can do to them.

I'm with you, there -- I generally figure that the food I consume is "safe" enough. And, frankly, most of the time I read "organic" as "bacteria-infested" rather than some sort of amulet of authenticity. But when you look at the meat industry, there are several disturbing things that jump out -- like the wild overuse of antibiotics, mislabeled cuts, ground beef that is mixed between hundreds or thousands of animals.....

787 http://tinyurl.com/pnsul85 I wonder how well an opening ceremony in Germany would be received if it had Nazi imagery included during it's history of the host nation? I hate to see the white wash of communist history.

788 792 Agree completely. Every lab I work in, I always ask upper management if I can hang a sign saying: "We don't make the shit you eat. We make sure the shit you eat doesn't kill you." They never want to do it for some reason.

789 >>>It's this cool widget I got from Merovign, where you can select people (by hash) that you'd rather not see. It's a greasemonkey script, so you have to add that first, and then there's a script that maintains a list called "SCoaMT peeps" [yeah, it's built by a moron] that disappear in your browser.

Sounds interesting. Anyway for me to get a copy? I use greasemonkey, but just to get rid of some annoying blinking text on one site right now.

791 I wonder how well an opening ceremony in Germany would be received if it had Nazi imagery included during it's history of the host nation? That'd be illegal in Germany, soooooo yeah. Although I'd imagine the Germans would do something like in Springtime for Hitler, what with the womens wearing beer and pretzel dresses.

I believe that it is probably the one that you get when you "search user scripts" for AoSHQ (gets you five possibles) and choose the most popular (533 at present). That's not how I got it, and I'd scan the code before installing, but it looks like it.

Incidentally, has anyone else been noticing that the price of food seems to be declining? I'm thinking that the recently-passed Ag bill may have had some sort of "keep food costs low until after the elections" thing in it.

821 Corn prices are down from over $8 1+ years ago to around $4.50 or so now, and since that is a big driver of meat prices those two should be in decline. This doesn't apply to beef however, as herds are at record lows right now so a tight supply.
 
Soybeans are down from their 1750 highs to around 1300; wheat down from 9 to 6; all within that same 1+ year timeframe.
 
What? You haven't seen food prices declining by 25-50%?
 
Imagine that.
