  1. Define "processed".

  2. What's wrong with preservatives? If you wrapped the pork belly in spinach and put it in the fridge for a week, would you be concerned about the "preservatives" you just added to it?

  3. What if you soak it in beet or celery juice? Have you ever had a spinach salad? Were you concerned about the large amount of nitrates in that?

  4. There's that word again. What do you mean by processed?

    Interesting. Instant ramen is cooked in vegetable fat before is is packaged and sold.

  6. ...has nothing to do with it. It's a stupid phrase used by ignorant people to describe something that is ubiquitous in food preparation. Even a chunk of venison cooked over a fire is chemically processed. What matters is the macronutrient composition of the food.

  7. ...are a hideous example of function following form. The curve makes it difficult to protect the phone, and do not improve functionality in any way. It's something that needs to go away.

  8. IP68 and a removable battery is very difficult to do.

  9. I'd take IP68 over a removable battery any day. It's very difficult to have both.

  10. Because 18:9 is BIGGER than 2:1. BIGGER!

    Actually they are equivalent. You can increase strength output without increasing muscle mass, but only by improving technique and motor control. Testosterone doesn't affect those.

    Actually, Hubble is operated by the Space Telescope Science Institute, the Webb will be operated by the Space Telescope Science Institute as well. NASA just handles the technical aspects of launch,operation, and maintenance as they should.

    That's great. It's not NASA that should be doing it. NASA studies travel through air and space.

    Imagine how much real spaceflight could be done with the money that NASA wastes on outreach and Climate Change study.

    Yes, but the main spillway is not eroding "uphill". I stand by my statement that the damage to the main spillway does not affect how fast they can release water from the reservoir. All the damage is occurring below the initial breach. Water flows down the concrete and is projected beyond the end preserving the bedrock support for the remainder of the spillway. Flow was kept at 100,000 cfs for days, and all the erosion occurred downslope from the initial breach. They could increase the flow all the way up to capacity, without compromising the integrity of the dam. The emergency spillway is another matter entirely. All efforts should be made to keep levels below 901 feet where the emergency spillway comes into play. The bedrock below the emergency spillway is not stable, and erosion there could very well affect the integrity of the dam.

    I recommend staying away from Krugman. Republicans were pushing for more infrastructure spending in the bill. You can't change history. The ARRA only spent about 3% of the bill on infrastructure, which is why many R's opposed it. You can read about their alternative bill here Suck it.

    Bullshit. The only reason there was infrastructure spending to the extent there was contained in the stimulus was because Republicans wanted it included. Maqybe if most of the money hadn't been used to line union accounts it would have had more effect.

    The erosion on the main spillway had no effect on how much water they were releasing from the reservoir. The reason the water flowed from the emergency spillway was because it rained too much, and there was poor water management while levels were rising.

  19. most notably the JCS and White House Executive office attacks

    What was our response to these attacks? Nothing. Nada. Zip. Only when they "hacked" the DNC and hurt Democrats did it merit a response with sanctions. It well illuminates who Democrats view as the real enemy.
