Help, government we are dying without corporate welfare and bailouts!!!! We need you and appreciate how much you do for us!...15 minutes later Whateva government you can't tell me what to do, I do what I want, you don't own me.
I get what you are saying but you are saying it the wrong way. "No product is five star perfect" was your contention and I think that's silly considering it is extremely subjective and not really what people have in mind for the rating system. That's why the actual reviews of the product have a lot more meaning because any rating system like that is based on the subjective nature of peoples view of what a product the "love" is and what a product the "hate" is. These rating systems are met to be taken in aggregate so if there is no fake/suspect reviews in mass the system works because a 5 star product with a lot of reviews you should expect the product to work perfect and never have any problems for anyone who ever reviewed it. But there really is no perfect 5 star product on amazon with any volume because even if the product was perfect and they "loved it" it is still subjective.
Anyway, the star rating system is just a bit of a guide, anyone who is taking it as the final word is a fool.
"Product exactly as listed in perfect condition, actually exceeded expectations."
What should that be? 5 stars does not mean this is the best product known to mankind. It means it is a good product that meets the description and specs of that product.
I do agree a 3 star or less review is a lot more informative because you can find out more about what/why/how things go wrong, but a lot of 5 star reviews are very helpful in showing what is good/great about the product.
That is all. The NSA isn't what you see in movies. It's just a bunch of drones doing "their jobs".
Snowden should tell you all you ever needed to know about how ultra awesome the CIA/NSA are. The only thing that makes them look competent is that people are terrified to cross them.
Ever been to one of these? It's basically a 'ticket' casino for very small children. I don't know why/how everyone is okay with this. I am not talking about skee ball where the tickets are just kind of a bonus for doing good in an actual game that existed without tickets. I am talking about the games that are basically a kid version of the casino wheel games:
Because beef tenderloin is usually regarded as the best cut of meat and it's a ridiculously complicated preparation? I would agree that most Americans find the simplest of cooking tasks complicated but let's have a looksee at classic beef wellington:.............."Preparation Make the duxelles Heat the butter and oil in a 10-inch skillet over low heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring often, until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms, stir well, and raise the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have cooked down to a thick, almost black mixture, about 15 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Stir in the parsley; then transfer to a small bowl and cool completely. (The duxelles can be refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 2 months.)
Begin the Madeira sauce Bring 6 cups of the stock to a boil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat and boil until reduced to 2 cups, 20 to 25 minutes. Add the Madeira and continue boiling until the liquid is again reduced to 2 cups, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (The sauce can be prepared to this point up to 1 day ahead. Finish the sauce just before serving the Wellington.)
Make the crêpes In a large bowl, whisk the flour and salt. Make a well in the center, break in the eggs, and add 1/4 cup of the milk. Gently whisk the eggs and milk, gradually incorporating the flour. Slowly whisk in the remaining milk to make a smooth batter. (The batter can be covered and set aside for up to an hour at this point.)Melt the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Swirl the pan to coat with the butter; pour the excess butter out into a small bowl. Whisk 1 Tbs. of the melted butter into the batter. Reserve the rest for greasing the pan between crêpes. Increase the heat to medium high and pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet. Swirl so the batter thinly and evenly coats the base of the pan. Cook until the crêpe is spotted with brown on the underside, about 1 minute, then flip and cook the other side until lightly browned, 30 seconds to 1 minute more. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan off the heat as necessary. Transfer the crêpes to a plate, separating them with sheets of parchment, and cool. You’ll need 4 crêpes.
Assemble and bake the Wellington Remove the beef from the refrigerator about an hour ahead so it has time to lose its chill. Pat the beef dry and season all over with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat until very hot. Sear the beef until it is evenly browned all over (don’t worry about the ends), 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the beef to a baking sheet and cool.In a medium bowl, mash the pâté and the duxelles with a fork until they form a soft paste. Lay 4 crêpes on a clean work surface, overlapping them just enough to give you a 13×13-inch roughly square surface. Dot the pâté mixture over the crêpes, then use an offset spatula to spread it evenly across the crêpes’ surface.
Place the tenderloin in the center of the crêpes and carefully wrap them around the filet, pressing and molding them into place. Trim off any excess crêpe at the ends.
If using store-bought puff pastry that’s packaged as 2 sheets, fuse the sheets together by slightly overlapping them and lightly rolling over the seam until adhered.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to a 13×16-inch rectangle (for store-bought puff, roll in the direction of the seam).
Transfer the wrapped beef to the center of the pastry and tuck any crêpes that have come loose back into place. Bring the pastry up around the beef, smoothing out any air pockets. Brush some of the beaten egg along the bottom edge of the seam and then press gently to seal; trim off any excess. Seal the pastry similarly at the ends.
Lightly grease a large baking sheet with the butter. Lift the W
Operate at a (near) loss until you have a near monopoly (or at least a huge barrier to entry) and run out all of the competitors then raise the prices and boil that frog slowly.
It's just the new-ish way of doing things, uber, walmart, etc, etc. They all play this shitty game.
Well congrats you are the unicorn who knows for a 100% fact that no one in the world has any personal information about you stored on their phone or elsewhere. I figured in this day you would have to live in the forest and never make contact with anyone to achieve that goal but here you are. The rest of us have family and friends and even acquaintances who may do this unbeknownst to us. Also data mining companies pretty much have all of your information anyway from decades of public records and 'PII for profit' companies.
Now I will need to park 75 spaces away from the door, after the handicapped, then the 'family' then the 'charging', then the compact. May as well just walk because I am closer to my house than when I started.
Actually...Hey...wait a minute! What a devious plan.
Thanks for a more unbiased account. An AC above posted some links and from what I can gather all it proves is that they are saying "it wasn't our systems that failed!". Hardly what the parent was trying to imply. Yes it would be a serious mess if two systems tried to take over car controls.
Of course they would need to "disable" one system to enable another. Phrasing sure can show bias. I am sure the 737 I am flying on today has 'intentionally disabled safety systems' along the way. Should I be concerned, I mean if I leave out context that means there are no more safety systems.
Do you have the article that shows how disabling those systems to use others in their place caused this accident?

Actually...Hey...wait a minute! What a devious plan.
Well at least you qualified it with "*he* can get".
Correct. All companies everywhere try to get out ahead of litigation as soon as possible.
Thanks for a more unbiased account. An AC above posted some links and from what I can gather all it proves is that they are saying "it wasn't our systems that failed!". Hardly what the parent was trying to imply. Yes it would be a serious mess if two systems tried to take over car controls.
Well then it doesn't look good for any company ever when there is a possibility of a lawsuit.
This is SOP for anything every regarding any type of liability when it comes to lawyers and insurance.
Of course they would need to "disable" one system to enable another. Phrasing sure can show bias. I am sure the 737 I am flying on today has 'intentionally disabled safety systems' along the way. Should I be concerned, I mean if I leave out context that means there are no more safety systems.

This isn't your facebook feed, you can't just post that kind of stuff without some sort of proof to back up that claim.
