It's done at A home. It's only YOUR home if you're hosting the thing that night. Customers / guests (who fork over a "recommended donation") are eating in a place that is NOT their home.
I don't even know what your second sentence means. You don't make money with the health code. It's something you have to adhere to. You don't get more income by being subject to inspections.
Never spend more than $40 on a knife. Expensive knives are for show. A good knife will last longer than you want it to if you manage to not leave it in the sink overnight and don't try to use it as an impromptu screw driver or whatever. Just get it sharpened properly when needed.
Never buy a ceramic knife. It will chip the instant it hits something hard. The shrapnel can easily maim or blind, and will shred your poo pipes to ribbons if it lands in your food.
I was gonna say, doesn't sound all the "underground" to me, unless the restaurant is literally in a basement.
It's underground in a sense that the meal is generally held in a private home, and there's no permanent location.
At FRANK, your suggested donation (normally $125, payable in cash or credit) will include a welcome drink and amuse-bouche, a multi-course meal, and the chefs’ selected wine (or occasionally beer) pairings. Gratuities are welcome and help us keep the interesting folks around who help coordinate, serve, and socialize. FRANK generally takes place within 10 minutes of downtown Dallas (normally accessible by public transit) at a private home in a comfortable, casual, informal space.
Sounds like a great way to avoid pesky things like health codes, regulation, the tax man, negative reviews, or even having a fixed price people can see and competitors can respond to. I for one would prefer to pay a reasonable, known price for a known meal at a known location with some sort of expectation as to quality and safety.
We actually have very little data to confirm or dismiss whether humans feel pain while unconscious. Did you mean subconscious?
Ask yourself this: Who is feeling things? Then define what constitutes that "who", how it physically manifests, etc. THEN you can begin to work out whether a given "who" feels something at a given time.
I'll resist the temptation to carry on with the bad puns and innuendo, but....
u-tube plonked in water in an elevated bucket, one end outside the bucket.
1) You suck on the dry end. Water moves up to the apex of the tube.
It's atmospheric pressure pushing the water up the tube as your sucking reduces the pressure in the tube.
2) Water keeps moving around the bend, past the apex.
It's a combination of your sucking and momentum that keeps the water moving.
3) The water reaches a point lower than the surface of the water in the bucket. You stop sucking.
It's the gravity (or the water seeking a lower energy state in a gravitational field) that keeps the water moving through the tube.
So all things are having an effect, which makes sense. Atmospheric pressure doesn't magically stop happening just because gravity is having a stronger effect.
Instead of sucking on the tube, totally submerge it so it is filled with water. Now, cap both ends as you place it in position from the higher container to the lower. Remove caps and water is siphoned out. It isn't atmospheric pressure pushing the water out, it is gravity pulling the column of water out.
It's atmospheric pressure that brings that column up to the apex in a pump/suck start. It's atmospheric pressure that keeps the column together - in a vacuum only the water already past the apex would flow down. You need atmospheric pressure to continually lift water up to the apex.
What you propose is sucking on a straw, removing the straw from your mouth, and then having your entire drink spray of of the straw.
I didn't propose sucking on a straw, but inserting the whole straw in the water, capping the ends and then removing the caps after the siphon is in place. No sucking involved.
Think about it this way. What is atmospheric pressure, but the weight of the atmosphere on a surface. The more atmosphere, the greater the weight and the higher the pressure. As such, the lower container in the siphon is at a higher atmospheric pressure. The siphon works as long as the gravity pulling the water mass down exceeds the atmospheric pressure on the lower surface.
It has nothing to do with the atmospheric pressure on the upper surface pushing the water through the tube. It has everything to do with gravity pulling it out.
Filling the tube with water is the equivalent of sucking the air out. You're just simply 100% wrong about gravity doing the work. Draw a force diagram. No component of gravity is pulling water up the siphon to the apex. Momentum has nothing to do with it either. It's atmospheric pressure pushing the water up the siphon and gravity causing both containers to find a common level, if possible. The atmospheric pressure on the receiving container doesn't matter while the tube is evacuated or filled with water.
The reason speed reading apps don't work is because you either know how to read fast or you don't. The average human should be able to read well over 200 - 1000 words a minute, any less and you have much bigger problems, more then an app can solve. This should be the chart for reading speed:
1. Fast: 1000+ words / minute 2. Normal 200 - 1000 words / minute 3. Slow 100 - 200 words / minutes 4. Unacceptably slow less then 100 words / minute.
People who read at less then 100 words per minute have a completely different problem that can't be solved from a simple app on a phone.
1000 words per minute? Next time you pull numbers out of your ass make sure they're not a joke. No one reads anything of value at that speed. You can scan text quickly but you won't actually be reading it. Anyone claiming otherwise is likely trying to sell you a speed reading course, or stroking their ePeen on Slashdot (see half of the replies I'm going to get from alleged super speed readers).

Which is Chinese as far as China's government is concerned. China doesn't even like to acknowledge it's existence. Ran into a fun example the other day - China won't let Microsoft give users the Taiwanese language pack. You can set the system to Chinese (Traditional, Taiwan) but you can't get the actual language pack unless your install has some undocumented flags for being installed/built/sold/OEM prepped/whatevered inside Taiwan's borders.
You have a PC with Windows 8 or Windows RT installed on it. Through the Language applet in Control Panel, you add Chinese (Traditional, Taiwan) as an additional language to use in Windows.
In this scenario, no Windows display language is available for download. However, if you choose other regions that use Traditional Chinese such as Hong Kong SAR or Macao SAR, Windows display languages are available for download.
This behavior is by design. While the Chinese (Traditional, Taiwan) language pack can be found on PCs available in Taiwan, Microsoft is unable to release the language pack outside of Taiwan. For this reason, this language pack is not available on Windows Update and cannot be downloaded using the Language applet in Control Panel.
To resolve this issue, use the Chinese (Traditional, Hong Kong SAR) language pack instead. This language pack is intended for worldwide users of Traditional Chinese even though the region is shown as Hong Kong.
The source of the "ex boyfriend" claim is an anonymous blog post with no sourcing or corroboration, and it's a detail that was completely missing until now, despite plentiful opportunities to introduce it. Since claimed, no one has confirmed it. A troll is throwing up sand.

Earth has been impacted by asteroids in the past, so there's nothing to worry about. It's just a natural phenomenon. Besides, the people saying we should be looking for asteroids are just greedy for grant money. If it turns out the be a real threat, I'm sure the technology to deal with it will magically appear -- with the economy the way it is we can't afford nonessential projects now.
Remember how silly these arguments sound when applied to other potential problems.
You're trying really hard, but all of those sarcastic points are 100% correct. Impacts are nothing new. Impacts are not an immediate threat. People ARE looking for grant money we can't really afford, and if there is a serious threat the technology WILL magically appear when the US, China, and Russia are forced to bring out their secret military toys. Spending money now on projects that likely have a lot of overlap with existing (secret) tech already in use by certain governments IS a waste.
It isn't disturbing because it concerns traitorous scum destroying the nation who are not subject to the rule of law. Do you feel disturbed when a serial killer is executed?
