As long as you prepare the meat in a clean kitchen, and you have some amount of trust in the people from whom you got it (or you grind it yourself), your risk is fairly low.
Korean restaurants often have a dish called Yook Hoe, which is shredded beef with a raw egg and various veggies. I've had it many times and never had a problem.
YMMV, of course; the condition of one's immune system is a major factor. Tolerance to low levels of bacteria such as is found in raw eggs and met can be developed over time.
How do people save money? They record every expense, and then it becomes clear where they can cut back.
So do the same for all the resources you consume, not just money.
Notice every time you use electricity. Notice every time you use fuel. Notice every time you throw away packaging. Pay attention to the waste you produce, and see what you can do to reduce or reuse it.
Realize how little you really need to live happily, versus how much the Great American Consumer Machine wants you to spend.
Use less. Live simply. Let go of what you don't need.
Make it a game. Post your scores on the Internet. Trade tips.
I admire the gleam and solidity of your emotional armor. Not that I'd want to wear it--my life would feel so impoverished, and I've never been a fan of repressed anger--but you have my compliments on its construction.
So all we've learned from this is that, even during this invite-only beta test, GMail must be sending out a hell of a lot of invites
Surely I'm not the only person who has had this thought: Why couldn't Gmail just stay invite-only? It's not like being invite-only drastically limits their opportunities for growth. On the contrary, they get to control the growth of their userbase, and if they want a huge influx of users, all they have to do is give away more invites. They've given me thirteen to give away, for example.
It's also smart because it makes Gmail just a little bit more exclusive. They get to optimize their supply/demand balance, and services like gmailswap help spread the invites around.
Or help yourself. Especially on the Internet, there's a wealth of people giving away knowledge for free. Develop a sense of judgment about which of that is crap and which of it is useful, always keep that sense of judgment limber, and you're set.
It's not that Asperger's Syndrome isn't real; clearly it describes a fairly well-defined set of behavior characteristics, and it resonates with a lot of Slashdotters, as it does with me & my perception of my own behavior.
It's that calling it a "Syndrome" makes people get the wrong idea.
There's nothing special about "Syndromes" that makes them only treatable by the medical establishment. Drugs are one way to go about "curing" them; so is healthy socialization at your own pace. People can have Abuses-Substances Syndrome, Selfish Syndrome, Wealth-Obsessed Syndrome, Hates-Parents Syndrome... all of these can describe someone's behavior, but all of them can be fixed not by drugs, but by helping the person become more mature.
I'm generalizing from my own experience and the assumption that I have Asperger's, but I believe people with Asperger's are not at all "disadvantaged" except insofar as their society doesn't know how to care for them. Given the right conditions, you can really put your intellectual advantages to good use.
Brevity, dude.
Ideas may be a dime a dozen, but it's the most tangible currency I have. You may not think my ideas are revolutionary, just by the very fact that I am here, posting on slashdot, apparently appearing as some arrogant fuck, but I never claimed that they were. Don't judge someone by three paragraphs they write in a comment on slashdot. That's ridiculous.
I hope you don't think I'm an arrogant fuck for criticizing your writing on Slashdot, but I understand if you do.

...would be simply to make tastier food. But I guess this is unimaginable for the British.
