This. It isn’t the meat it’s the ratio of lean to fat. The problem when making sausage is a big part of making a sausage that cooks the way you want it to is the fat. So if you’re worried about calories, skip the sausage and eat lean meat. If you’re just looking to improve the mix of fats you’re consuming, add olive…

I love Afterlife I have no idea how many hours I work gathering infinitum to build all the best resting places for the dead.

The walrus, with his girth and his good nature, he obviously represents either Buddha, or, or with his tusks, the Hindu elephant god, Lord Ganesha. That takes care of your Eastern religions. Now the carpenter, which is an obvious reference to Jesus Christ, who was raised a carpenter’s son, he represents the Western…

Mixed roots still make my brain hurt whenever I try to parse the Etymology. It’s what I get for being Poly and a word nerd I guess. ^_~

It really isn’t complicated or difficult. We talk, I’m friends with her Dominant, I get along with him. I’m not attracted to him physically or emotionally. So they go and play on their own. If the both of us are into someone well then we see how a trio works, if we’re not into each others others, we just stay inside…

Gods bless you. Just for taking the time to grab mixed root words and make it that entertaining. My brain now hurts but I’m also laughing.

My wife and I are Poly and Bisexual. Currently our relationship is sexually monogamous. My wife has a non-sexual Dominant that she has play nights with, he is her best friend, they go to movies and have little mini dates and dinners.

As someone who identifies as both Polyamorous and Bisexual (tho slowly expanding my personal identification to Pansexual).

Garrett is of course wrong headed, it’s the girls who are lucky to get to be around a bear. Bears are awesome and being around one and not having it crack your skull open for your tasty brains is a lucky day.

As long as the very idea of what it means to be a man still means, on some level, doing all the things they think women can’t or shouldn’t do, that’s where we’ll remain.

LEO’s and Military Police are both trained with the Use of Force Continuum. It is a path of escalation of violence/danger and the appropriate response level. The cop in this case is claiming he was using the appropriate level, the use of joint locks and body manipulations to regain control. It seems from what I can…

As someone who was Military Police, I’m with your friend. Cameras are good FOR the cops as well as being good for the public. There are people who will attempt to injure themselves so they can get their case thrown out or sue for damages. There are cops who use a ‘rough ride’ to punish ‘criminals’ they have arrested.…

I’ll now spend the rest of the day crying that Ghost never got released.

Warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and all in all more comfortable. In the US and Canada however there is a level of rhinohide you have to have in order to get away with it. To do it in the workplace requires not only that but also an HR department that follows the spirit of equality laws rather than the letter.

My problem is Gender neutral is only ever Gender Normative. I finally work at a company that allows me to wear kilts at work. However in my noncustomer facing position (technical support) I’ve been in the field for 15+years, and only in the last 3 have I been able to wear kilts in the workplace. At one company I was…

The major problems with BMI are that 1 it uses a flat square progression. While humans (and other 3D objects) increase at a cube rate.

There’s more to it than the sports, but the SCA has several different kinds of fighting arts, from padded weapons in full armor, through light weapons (like fencing), through archery. It’s great for whole families, there are camping trips to be done, and for those who don’t care for the fighting there are arts and…

As a SCAdian and a fighter in several related but separate groups I say I like it, and I’ve got a friend who just finished his armor to join up and fight with some of the European associations. There are Europeans who dress up as cowboys too, so I think it’s more a fascination with history and I’m okay with that. ^_^

As someone who has been in the same for many years. I was disappointed, their manual of arms seems to be a sloppy blend of sword styles that aren’t always suited to their blade types. I don’t think I saw any pommel or bell strikes that I would expect with those swords. I was gratified to see a few buckler strikes and…

I think this is something actually important. The character is gay, it isn’t crammed into anyone’s face by the game, and all in all while it’s important to the character it isn’t important in the long run of the game.
