“Provided that the surfaces of cuts are adequately cooked, the consumption of underdone, intact muscle tissue poses no microbiological risks as such tissue from healthy animals is generally sterile (Gill, 1979).” C. 0. GILL 1979. A Review Intrinsic Bacteria in Meat. Journal of Applied Bacteriology 1979, 47,367-378. …

Because their poultry is less disease-ridden and more freshly killed they’re able to. The fresher the kill (and obviously the less it carried to begin with) the less likely salmonella has cultivated to a dangerous degree. Basically, they handle chicken far differently than we do here.

Different bacteria die at different temperatures, both hot and cold, but from what I’ve read it is likely only parasites killed by flash-freezing sushi-grade food. Most bacteria can survive it, but they’re put into a very slowed state when frozen. Basically, think of it like the mold you find on an item in…

I already explained why it should be included below. There is over-double going out into these programs than what is coming in from the taxes currently being taken. As our population is growing, not shrinking, and as those systems are not single-payer, and as the payment out increases due to cost of living and…

I came here to suggest the same thing, but I expected to already find it. Also, mine was to be a suggestion, yours feels like it’s born of experience, which makes me happy since I was going to try it myself.

You need to look at the expenditure vs. income. This is like saying you only make $300 a month, and pay $500 a month rent and that’s perfectly fine. Taxes accounted for $1.13 trillion of the Social Security and Healthcare funding, as that was the amount collected from those taxes. Then roughly $2.35 trillion was…

This is the total spending, which is what I fully intended to share. There is discretionary vs mandatory spending. Discretionary is what the budget is all about, yes, and, 55% of it is military spending (that’s actually what I had shared first, until I realized I grabbed the wrong one). However, this is the overall…

Oh, I agree with what you’re saying. Hell, some of the spending done in the US is confusing. Like billions of dollars for a wall. That same amount could give every citizen more than I make in a year, straight-up. But no, we don’t have money to spend on healthcare and infrastructure, etc.

EDIT: Sorry, grabbed the wrong image. Military isn’t as high as most people think, overall. The ones who do think it’s insane in comparison to the others are only looking at discretionary spending. Yes, 609 billion is still a lot, but SS, Unemployment, Medicare & Health are over three times as much in spending as…

I’m a huge fan of the styling and comfort of mine.

Yeah. Just knowing it bothers me for some reason, likely because I feel I’m being tricked. Not due to any aversion to the ingredients or anything.

If it were clearly forewarned in the manual, or opt-in only, etc. instead of only mentioned in passing on a random support page on their website, then I could blame the user. But it’s not. It should be give head’s up that this is a possibility, and therefore it is a security problem. Notice I’m not saying a…

I think you misunderstand. If we had ever set up 1-click options, or left them enabled on the account because we had use of them elsewhere, Alexa could order things. It’s an integrated system many people use in other parts of Amazon, and adding an Alexa it doesn’t give you the option to turn it off, if 1-click is on…

I’m getting really sick of trying to read transcripts of what Trump has to say. It’s always so rambling and random. My father talks this way, and it drives me insane. There’s a lot about Trump that reminds me of my dad. I wouldn’t have voted for him, either.

Na’ah, Alexa can straight-up order things. It’ll tell you the price and ship time and everything. They do, as you say, offer free returns on those orders, but to me that’s still a hassle if someone wants to be a jackass. Seems like a significant security issue in my opinion. We have one, but don’t have 1-click set…

That sounds obnoxious, personally. I get the point of Google Home, but as it’s supposed to be your assistant, I’d think it’d be better if it was keyed to you, and/or your family members, not just any rando who walks in. I could see people being assholes and just shouting out at Alexa, for example, to buy a bunch of…

Not really related to the story, but I think one annoyance I’ve found thus far is that Google’s ads set off Google’s voice-activation devices. I mean, obviously there’s no good way around this, you want to show people how easy it is in the commercial, and when Google hears “OK, Google” it should respond, but I had…

I mean, it’s not like it makes a big difference, logically. Maybe it’s some part of me that doesn’t like the fact that I’ve been tricked into thinking the fries themselves tasted the way they do, but all along it was the grease? But that’s true of everything, peanut oil adds to the flavor of things fried in it in a…

Preferably a NAS device with RAID hardware in it that mirrors everything onto multiple drives. The more drives, the more security overall, but at least two would be good. That, or cloud-based services to backup your data, since they basically use the same type of system to ensure they don’t lose your data. Then you…

Everyone raves about them
