Not dangerous by any sensible definition. The outside of the steak is hot enough to kill bacteria. The inside of the meat has no bacteria. The difference between medium rare and raw is the risk of foodborne illness.
Yep. Steaks are relatively safe at lower temperatures. Ground meat products are the ones to watch out for a little more... I'd only trust a rare burger as much as I'd trust every individual involved in its preparation to have washed hands at all times.
What kind of 2-bit "internet hero" are you to think that, because your managed managed to reach nature.com, you now know more about DNA and cloning than the chief scientist Semyon Grigoryev, professor at North-East Federal University?
Hey, since when do we on Slashdot let the facts get in the way of a good argument?
I wonder if anybody else remembers some issues of Ranger Rick having BASIC program listings? My first program was typing in one of those, which ended up playing a tune from Bach on the computer speaker. I was really blown away by that.
I made so many typos that it didn't work the first 3 or 4 times I entered it.
Now that I think of it... the Sea Turtles program might have been in Ranger Rick as opposed to 3-2-1 Contact.
3-2-1 Contact Magazine had some little BASICA games and the like in back that you could type up and run... still have a soft spot in my heart the one where you were setting up a sea turtle preserve. After that, I was on to taking a hex editor to Rogue to try to change all monster damage to 0d0. Still didn't beat the damned game.
What "everyday uses" for it are there? That's like trying to find "everyday uses" for classical Latin or Gaelic. No one uses that as a primary language, so why force the language for primary uses?
That's a good question whenever people make an effort to preserve or revive an "endangered" language. One could look at it in terms of ethnic nationalism, where having a "mother tongue" helps define who belongs to which nation. Good examples of that include Modern Hebrew (revitalized from ritual use to have native speakers, largely thanks to the efforts of Eliezer Ben-Yehuda) and Modern Turkish (where the Arabic and Persian vocabulary has been truncated so much that grandmothers can't read the paper anymore, it's changed so much).
Today in Kurdish-populated areas of Iraq, Syria, and Turkey, the Kurdish language is also being used to draw together members of that ethnic group as well. Its use was forbidden in the past in order to try to quell that nationalism.
How does dubbing a movie that has nothing to do with Navajo culture help preserve Navajo culture? Not trying to troll, I am asking honestly. It seems a bit insulting, the insinuation being that the whole of their culture is distilled down to their native language.
Not trolling at all-- that's a good question. My thought is that limiting the use of Navajo to the ceremonial marginalizes it to be used only in ritual form. By finding "everyday uses" for it, such as in movies, people form a much more functional use for the language.
"That pork thing is just to make sure you don't get sick, cook it really well and you'll be fine. Bacon is actually delicious. Also, the little hats... those are to keep you baldies from getting a sunburn. That's it. Don't go overboard with this stuff, guys. Lates, G-D."
I always suspected the hats were to cover bald spots, is there a formal reason for them other than tradition?
Basically humility before G-d. Though I guess bald spots are kind of humiliating in and of themselves.
The white Africans are still considered European, as that's where they (relatively) recently moved from.
That's one of the really intriguing parts of South African history, in fact. To the point that during the Boer Wars, the Afrikaners considered themselves the "native Africans" against the British colonists.
It helps if you're a minority like Elon Musk (African-American).
Is that comment for real???! It also happens to help if you're one of the most successful and insightful businessmen walking the planet regardless of where you come from.
(South) African-American. No racism here, though perhaps a little bit of where-in-the-world-is-your-accent-actually-from -ism.
Had the Montgomery city fathers made it into an economic issue, e.g. by providing seat reservation for the white passengers and then covering the cost of the reservation through subsidies, making a "white ticket" theoretically more expensive and practically unavailable to black passengers, Rosa Parks would be simply accused of "stealing the seat she didn't pay for", labeled as a thief and that would be it.
Cause who's gonna boycott and walk instead of riding a bus to support a "thief"?
Mind you, that ticket doesn't provide ownership of that seat, merely a one-time use license.
Was working with a school that, to combat bullying, instituted a "bully-box" where kids could drop anonymous tips. Guess who used it? Kids who wanted to gang up on others using the power of authority as a weapon. *cough* Totally worked.
Finding a needle in a haystack is easy. Finding one particular needle in a needle stack is painful.
This may well be a better metaphor. I'm sure these reporting systems (and the resulting investigations) will lead to seizures of marijuana and illegal pet reptiles, and because some people investigated will get rowdy, there'll be some assault charges generated as well. None of those charges will involve actual terror plots, but there'll be enough "crime" discovered to justify the system.
The edges of a "kettle" would be the absolute best place for a suicide bomber to strike. You'd get to kill a ton of tightly packed innocents & as a bonus, eradicate quite a few LEOs at the same time.
You don't happen to live near Jacksonville, do you? 'Cause I might need to report that.

Were I not at work right now, I would confirm the hunch than "mammoth" has already been used in a few titles so far.

So, Lucas ripped off the concept of the "Force"? Does that mean they could Sioux him?
Well, wouldn't be the first time being ripped off by the White Man.

Did english have words for space ships, robots and laser beams 100 years ago?
And English even stole the word "robot" from Czech!

I've been using it to sort through your shredded mail for weeks.
I guess that's my bad, for keeping it all in a giant underground warehouse before destruction.
The media are a little different than usual, but this is essentially an attempt to piece back together a 1000-year-old database/mail archive.

You found a way to quote a Tool song in discussion of a Latvian history textbook. Well played, player.
I'm thinking of moving to Finland.
I've got a couple of friends who have recently, and they just love it!

Al-Qabin? I hear they've been collecting supplies for weapons of mass achusetts.

...so they'll just be repeatedly calling their grandchildren and asking how to do it. THIS IS A TOOL OF THE DEVIL.
