I assume different production standards and health codes, as well as societal customs, to start. Also, if the meat used is high-quality and there is no cross-contamination with other products, the risk should be low. I presume he isn’t buying a bulk pack of 80/20 ground beef at the local Edeka.

Steak tartare is (usually) pretty different from ‘raw hamburger meat’. Tartare is (should be) beef tenderloin (a/k/a filet mignon) that is hand-chopped — not a chuck roast (if you’re lucky) that is machine-ground with a multitude of different cuts of unknown derivation. So, if you get a high-quality cut of beef and…

Still, having Clinton lose to Trump was the best thing to happen to the Democratic Party.

If your vote for not-Hillary was to“send a message” to the Dems because you want them to get better/more connected/more progressive:

That sounds delicious. Hatch, I presume? And do you do anything to the chile before stuffing in the burger? Maybe roast it, or at least take off the skin?

The problem is, for the most part, the ONLY Christians one hears from in the political realm are those who use their religion (1) as a shield to discriminate against the ‘others’ (whether it’s LGBTQ, Muslims, Jews, African Americans, etc.), or (2) as a sword to impose their views on others (e.g., anti-choice). While I…

Agreed. I don’t answer numbers I don’t recognize, so the only way to know if they’re real or not is to search them in Mr. Number or wait to see if they leave a VM (and then check the VM). With no VM, I’d have to answer every call — or miss calls I actually do want to get.

Good lord, you’re a fucking moron. No, that’s not remotely what I wrote. Maybe when you’re laid off from your union position, the local can pay for reading comprehension classes for you.

So, RtW laws being held constitutional by state SCs = RtW laws will be held unconstitutional by SCOTUS??? OK, either you’re clueless or you’re unwilling to see the writing on the wall. So enjoy your union membership while it lasts, because it may not last long.

A button-down shirt can have a straight, spread or tab collar, each of which would use collar stays. Or it can have a button-down collar, which obviously would not require stays.

Twenty-seven states have enacted RtW laws — how many have been ruled unconstitutional? I’m not an expert in the area, but a little Googling reveals that the law in Indiana was upheld by the ISC. The Wisconsin version was struck down at the trial level, but is being appealed (the appellate court already stayed the…

Perhaps without these terrible trade deals union membership will grow, which will then give labor back the power they have been losing for years regardless of who was in the Oval Office.

A judicial system is only as strong as the parties’ acceptance of its rulings and agreement to adhere thereto. The judiciary doesn’t have its own police force. It used to have the US Marshals, but they’ve reportedly been put under control of the US Attorneys (i.e., the executive branch). Without the Marshals and…

Your President himself called it a MUSLIM BAN, you dolt. You can try to spin it another way all you want, but that’s exactly what it is. It isn’t a complete Muslim ban, because he still allows the Muslims he likes into the country, but it’s still a ban. Get your head out of your arse.

It IS the responsibility of the US Marshals — or at least it was. Since Herr Drumpf took office, the Marshals have reportedly been instructed to take direction from the US Attorneys, NOT the judiciary. Without the Marshals, if a litigant chooses not to obey a court order, the order is literally unenforceable. So, the…

Exactly. Ten meters is less than 11 yards, so it’s basically a first down. And on a football field, it doesn’t seem that big of a distance. But standing it up on end and holy schnikies, it’s like you’re jumping from the top of the Eiffel Tower.

Kenji did mention he learned it from José Andrés, who is, you know, a Spaniard (and a damn good chef). So ... maybe it’s only insulting to you?

But the egg-thrower couldn’t have known she was a Trump supporter! It doesn’t matter that he was correct — it only matters that he didn’t have verifiable proof of it. (Because, as we’ve learned, verifiable proof is *very* important to Trump and his supporters.)

She worked for GWB before law school, was the president of the Federalist Society at Stanford Law and clerked for Alito at SCOTUS. I put the odds that she would’ve voted for anyone other than DJT at approximately 0.00000000000001%. Getting pelted with an egg by some asshole just allowed here to come out of the closet…
