As the linked article explains, there is no such thing as a Massachusetts hot dog. There is a New England-style bun. You can grill it or steam it and you can put whatever you want on it. I lived in Massachusetts for 47 years and cooked in restaurants for three summers when I was in school (including Friendly’s, where…

Author of what? [Kinja’s so broken, even the writers get hosed by it!]

Sure, linking to Zeynep Tufekci’s thread on this (she’s written some amazing stuff on the pandemic). It’s not that the MIT study was bad it was just miscommunicated.

Just a note: even indoors distancing still does matter. There was one MIT study that was badly communicated that made it seem like Covid would mix  equally in the room but that’s generally not true. The distance is likely greater than 6 feet, and distancing doesn’t matter as much indoors, but it still does matter.

Agnostic Atheism and Gnostic Atheism are two separate things - the belief that there is no god without knowledge vs the claim to know for certain that there is no god. The vast majority of people who are atheists are the first one, as well as a lot of people who say they’re agnostic. It’s no more a religion than the…

You’re deeply mistaken if you think this guy is a not-rich guy lol

Lying about a stock with the intent to change the price of that stock is unethical.

Yup, and it goes even further than that. You literally could not produce pepperoni and salami without nitrates and nitrates; you would just be left with a tube of semi-dehydrated botulism.

Chemically speaking there’s no difference nitrites and nitrates that come from natural or synthetic sources. It’s still NO2-/NO3-. 

Uncured bacon comes from vaccine deniers.

It’s subtle, but this:

“Obscene and violent content and those breeding unhealthy tendencies, such as money-worship and effeminacy, should be removed.”

What most people fail to realize it’s that our litigiousness isn’t a function of greediness, but a symptom of the puny and paltry regulatory state in the U.S.

Inner thighs. She was holding it in her lap. I did see pictures at one time and they were horrific. Did a search - don’t look at these if you don’t want to see a badly burned person and their private bits.

The guy he hosted a podcast with (the ‘bean dad’) is a raging anti-semite. Jennings defended him by claiming “he’s always pro-Israel though”, which in itself is anti-semitic.
