That's part of it. The chicken you get from a store is almost certainly a Cornish Cross, which reaches market weight in something like 5 weeks for a fryer and 8 weeks for a broiler. Heritage breeds (read: "real" chickens) take 20-22 weeks to reach maturity. The meat is very, very different -- dark meat is *dark*, far more flavorful, and requires more time / different methods to cook since the muscles have actually been used. CC's mostly do two things: eat and shit. They really don't move around a whole lot.
Anyway, CC's don't really forage a whole lot anyway, so even if they're raised in a manner that they can eat grass, bugs, etc. they usually don't -- they plop down in front of a feeder and just gorge. They're *amazing* birds, but their quality of life is horrible. It's impossible to beat them on feed conversion ratio, though, which is why that's pretty much all you see. There are some other breeds making their way into the market that take 3-4 more weeks to reach maturity but they're still very, very much in the minority.
> If "regular food" is what most people eat, then I think there is a big difference. But if you mean brown eggs versus white eggs, than probably not. The brown shells are better, though, because they're a little easier to spot in the frying pan.
Egg color is simple genetics -- no difference other than the color. Some breeds of chickens (say, a Barred Rock) lay brown eggs, some (like a Leghorn) lay white eggs. Some even lay blue or green eggs. The first egg a chicken lays will be the same color as the last egg it lays -- you might see small changes in tone but that's about it. Every once in a while they'll lay an egg that's just the membrane, no shell -- definitely irregular but usually safe:)
That's exactly my situation -- no OTA, no cable, no cell coverage, shit, not even DSL. Satellite internet connectivity sucks but it's better than nothing. The real pisser is there's gig service about a mile away (big looped pulled in here a few years back) but when Centurylink and Qwest merged they put all the infrastructure buildout in this area on hold, and they don't seem to be in any hurry to start back up again. Centurylink said they had internet service here before I bought this place but, SHOCKER, the bastards were full of it. Even better they closed my install tickets for voice and internet THREE TIMES without letting me know -- no reason given in the tickets, even, just closed. I hated those fuckers when they were Qwest, I hated them when they were US West, and I'm sure I'll hate them when they rebrand themselves again (I'm sure I'd have hated them when they were a Bell but I wasn't a paying consumer then).
The Browning.50 dates to WW I. We *still* use them today, and as far as I know there aren't any plans to replace them. Weapons in this class are simply nowhere near obsolete.
Yep. I reached a compromise where I only buy games on Steam once the game and *all* the DLC for it is under $10. Limits my damages somewhat and I'm still so damned backlogged with games I haven't played the fact that the new whiz-bang GTA 27 (or whatever) is outside that range doesn't really matter. I'll get to it eventually. 'course, I'm an antisocial bastard, so the whole multiplayer aspect of gaming really doesn't matter to me one way or the other; I get that's a deal breaker for some, but hey -- you makes your choices, etc.
Indeed. The last time the US had an air-to-air kill that was by a gun instead of a missile was in Vietnam. Guns are effectively a thing of the past in air combat. Like many articles I've read about the F-35 that paper really misses the mark. That being said, I do worry about the ability to churn out a sufficient number aircraft in a protracted conflict -- simple, rugged aircraft still have their place.
Aircraft, especially those that push the envelope like fighters, are going to wear out. Technically advanced combat aircraft costs are so heavily front-loaded due to R&D that you have to crank out large numbers of them for the unit cost to make sense, otherwise you end up with a $1B bomber instead of a plane that costs half that like the B-2. I think the F-35 will be a great fighter (most of the development issues were with the Marine variant, which is immensely more complex than the Air Force and Navy versions) but we probably would've been better served with a more conventional aircraft along with an increased number of F-22s.
Correct -- the tires I leave on from October to March aren't studded. Unfortunately there are a not-insignificant number of idiots here in the Seattle area (and, I'm sure, in other places) that *do* run studded tires for no good reason at all, so that is still a very real concern.
Kinda like my hammer is really good at driving nails but isn't so good at cleaning windows. Right tool for the job and all that. If your military isn't being used to smash another military you're probably doing it wrong.
You might -- depends on how and where the cut is. There are a *lot* of things you can do that'll be just as deadly that are delayed and difficult to detect; whether you're affecting software or hardware is irrelevant if physical access is requisite to implement the hack. Headline is just a bit more sensationalistic than it should be.
Seriously. I've got a hack that'll disable the brakes on any car ever made. It's called a hacksaw (heh) and requires even *less* access than these guys had.

Committing shit just makes you look like an asshole. Committing good code makes you look like a rockstar.
It's only been around since the '70s.

I dunno. Why is IMDB soliciting reviews for it?
It was also tried 227 years ago. It's not always the machines that get smashed.
Why the fuck would I *want* an app store?
Either find a payphone or a wifi hotspot, presumably. Even when I had a cell phone my average voice usage was typically less than ten minutes a month.

tl;dr fuck Centurylink
Internet, of course -- I can make voice calls using a myriad of apps and devices that way. Besides, there isn't any cell coverage here.

The police (municipality, whoever) had their say when they wrote the check to buy them.

Ah, crap. That should've been a car analogy.
So... it doesn't suck by any definition, then?
...doesn't require batteries.

Don't use a musket, though. Firearms over .50 qualify as WMDs too.
