Random Open Thread #172
— Maetenloch

Since the last thread was getting kinda stale, here's a new one to gnaw on.

Scientists Working on a Very Critical Project!

To make bacon taste better. They have now sequenced the entire DNA of a female pig:

With the full genome, breeders will now be able to pinpoint the specific genes behind those traits. They will take "pigs that have at least one copy of the favorable version [of a gene] and use that pig to breed the next generation," says Jack C.M. Dekkers, a professor of animal breeding and genetics at Iowa State University in Ames. Some researchers may even use the information to do genetic modification of pigs.

...Tastier pork could certainly be an outcome of this research, too, Schook and Dekkers say. What makes a pig tasty, however, is subject to debate and cultural preference. In some parts of Asia, Schook notes, breeders value fat content more than American breeders do.

Tenderness and meat color are other targets for breeders hoping to improve the pork on our plates.

He who controls the pork controls the universe.

Why Our Carriers Should Be Removed from the Gulf

Several months ago, I asked a retired admiral what sign the United States could give that its patience had truly worn thin with Iran. "Remove the carriers from the Persian Gulf," he responded. At first, that struck me as dumb: The Iranians would depict the American withdrawal as another sign that the United States was weak and in retreat. "Don't worry," he assured me. "Any Revolutionary Guardsmen worth his weight would understand."

Best Breaded Cod Evar?

I'm intrigued and will seek out this Okains. Sounds like it's time for the Pollock lovers to step up their game.

20 RE carriers in the Persian Gulf,some politicians prefer gestures over substance.Putting carriers in the Gulf is meant to show resolve,you know,like putting the Pac Fleet in Pearl Harbor instead of San Diego.

Posted by: steevy at November 23, 2012 03:25 PM (9XBK2)

21 20 The CincPac prior to Kimmel resigned over FDR's moving of the fleet to PH.He felt it was dangerous,and he was right.Like a good officer he resigned and kept his mouth shut though,he did tell his successors about his fears.They thought he was over cautious and were unconcerned.

Well, one can say that Pearl Harbor forced us to show resolve, although it was a helluva way to get started.

With the spineless bastards and bastardesses in our current government, I would expect little more than a really harsh memorandum from the US to the UN if Iran were to take out a carrier in the Gulf.

Thought Experiment for the GOP Leadership:

What would be easier for the party of small government, improving performance among big government traditon Hispanics by 25%, or among limited government tradition whites by 2%? Assuming a static level of support form other demographics, either way gets you to victory.

Trying to get signifcantly more Hispanic votes by jettisoning core principles is going to cost the Republicans more votes among people who share those principles than it is likely to get among people who have been conditioned to view the Republican Party as racist and who don't share those core principles. Is this concept really so difficult to grasp?

The great majority of Hispanics (~71%) don't want limited government; they come from cultures where a dominant central government run by socialist parties is a way of life. Many of them like living in the US precisely because of the entitlements Republicans want to limit. Granting amnesty to 20 million new voters in this demographic would be electoral suicide for Republicans.

Obviously, attracting white working class voters whose interests no one is defending would be immensely easier than trying to out pander Democrats with immigrants. Here is the winning strategy: Propose a freeze on immigration (with the exceptions for O-1s and E-B5s) until the unemployment rate drops below 4%.

This would be a brilliant way to attract working class voters while at the same time legitimizing immigration restrictions as something other than racist. The Democrats would be stuck having to choose support for immigration over the interests of American workers, thus delivering Ohio, Pennsylvania and possibly Michigan to the Republicans.

114 This is weird. it's like a little mini-ONT only at the wrong time. It's a little bit like showing up at your normal night time bar at 6 instead of 10 and seeing a bunch of people eating dinner instead of getting drunk off their ass. But there are few people who are already drinking alot and lurking by the pool tables waiting for the customer base to switch over." And you're like "wait, what? They serve FOOD here?" It's sort of like that. Only better, b/c morons are awesome at any time of day.

209 GGE, society is doing a good job of turning children into adolescents at younger angers and maintaining that adolescence well into what should be adults in their 30s. Hence why we have hipsters in their 20s acting and dressing like toddlers, yet fucking and doing drugs like hippies, while shirking all responsibilities in the pursuit of self indulgent gratification. Perfect consumers, producers not so much. Hence why even with the third world invasion bringing shitty socialist indentity politics with them, we are still fucked. The kids don't want to grow up past the point of achieving adult gratification and into adult responsibility. Going all VDH/Theo Darmapyle: Just like the Greeks, we are ceasing to be free when the only freedom we want is that from responsibility.

287 You morons hurled gay, faggot and queer. We said yeah so what. Now you want the words back? Take them. What do I care. Just remember who misused them. For the best bacon forget the new lean pork. Take heritage hogs, age, cure, smoke and slice the bacon properly.

288 Actually, I have never called a gay person a "faggot" or "queer" in my life and yes I still prefer to older meaning of "gay".

289 You never used it so therefore they don't mean what the do now? I think those are fine English words also. Just remember how their meanings and their polite usage came to be corrupted. It wasn't us fags fault. We just took that and said so what. What do you think about bacon. Should pork be considered a lean meat?

290 That's about one of the Most DUMBASS freakin' gun videos, I ever did see. Word to the wise 'Nettes... I would advise borrowing a long-sleeved turtle neck type shirt, if you don't already own one, first time you make a splodey in yer handz! Anytime, ANYONE tells you that bare-nekkid girls, handling weapons that they will never use, are kinda HAWT, you should DEMAND that they cook 1,080 strips of bacon, on a hot stove, without a loincloth, at a Summer Camp, for The Disabled! One day.

291 Gay has been used to connote "homosexual" since the 1920s, IIRC, though gays weren't really talked about by the mainstream pop then so no one knew

292 "...make bacon taste better"

Is such a thing possible? Oh my, I think I've died and gone to hog heaven.
