Interesting food for thought. Do you have the link? I would like to read up on it more.

Kinda funny but my dad could eat like that man in the second story when he was younger. Seriously he was a bottomless pit, however, he was not an asshole and would never attempt something like that with my mother for two reasons. He is just not that way, and if he tried it my 5'4" mother would kick his 6'3" ass. :-P…

Ahh but he said wooden cutting board. Wood is porous so you should NEVER cut raw meats on a wooden cutting board. You need a good food grade polystyrene board that can go in the dish washer and it doesn't hurt to disinfect it with either a bleach/water or vinegar/water solution regularly.

That is a great blog and I recommend it as well. Also if you haven't seen it, watch the Penn and Teller Bullshit Episode on Alternative Medicines. They have a chiropractor on there that performs spinal adjustments on 2 year old children. They do a great job of eviscerating him and while they don't officially call him…

It's kinda crazy how many food items use food grade lye in their preparation.

Oh I agree that there are issues with some of what they do and would never use them as a credible unbiased source. Was just pointing out that they are taking baby steps toward real scientific research and unlike some other autism groups are distancing themselves from the anti-vaxxer crowd. They have a long way to go…

Actually Autism Speaks has distanced itself from the anti-vaxxers. From their website FAQ.

Kinja got me and I responded to scaletwine instead of you by accident but here is what Donkey Sauce is

Well here it is. Donkey Sauce.

That could be a viable option but only if the owner was not present during the experiment. If the owner was present it could create an inherent bias to the experiment.

In regards to the adopting the cats and letting them get used to the environment, this would not yield meaningful data since the cats are in fact used to the environment. Remember any thing you do in an experiment influences the outcome so you want to minimize it as much as possible. And yes even observing an…

Agreed. If it's for a simple pasta dish break out the micro plane and go to town. If you need chunks a flat head screwdriver works wonders. (One only for that job obviously.)

Oh yes my movie theater days. Had the back wall of a stall sprayed with what appeared to be a severe case of explosive diarrhea. Found used tampons stuck to the side of stall walls. Hell I was happy when I walked into the bathroom and the worst thing I would find was a used condom, usually tossed at the mirror of…

Amen to always having some good parm in the house. And no that green bottle of cheese sawdust does not count.

Oh hell yes. Mayo makes grilled cheese so much better. Another good tip is just a little bit of Dijon spread on the inside of the bread. Just tread lightly so as not to overpower everything. Adds a nice twang.

My go to gussied up grilled cheese is sharp cheddar, very thin veneer of Dijon mustard on the inside of the bread, minced onion, and using mayonnaise on the outside of the bread instead of butter. It's amazing. And if I am in a southwesty mood a little ancho chili powder sprinkled on the cheese give a nice smoky…

It's not that they have to investigate it that is the issue here. It's that they must report it.

OMG thank you. However it wasn't just coax that was an issue. Flat Satin cable (AKA phone line wire) was subject to collisions as well. Something I had to fight hard and fiercely with maintenance guys about. They would insist replacing the flat satin with twisted pair 10Base-T cable was too much of a hassle and then…

Sigh you are sadly correct. However if you try to launch an actual science discussion about why peoples beliefs are wrong with actual scientific data then you will be eviscerated. I gave up trying and just occasionally rant now. Not that it makes me much better but sigh it gets tiring. Nutrition is the latest my…

Yes so much this. Moderation is the key. Although I would suggest you put down the bacon wrapped Turkey leg as that sounds dangerously addicting.
