It's not really all of the different to taking upskirt photos with a hidden camera on a staircase and then charging those with no underwear with indecency. This is one of those laws designed to reduce offence to people and going around taking a close look at those a long way away from others who could take offence is a bit pointless and nasty.
Personally I see spelling failures as no big deal when for instance there are so many people around that pay so little attention to the world that they confuse cement and concrete. IMHO there doesn't seem much point being pedantic unless the document is important and expected to be correct.
In case you misunderstood - a real slow cooker only takes time to get to the boil. A solar oven may never get there but still may get close enough to do potatoes or rice but not red kidney beans.
When someone mixes up there/their/they're or its/it's or your/you're I have to stop and think about the sentence, try and understand their intent and try and parse it
Seriously? Is that all it takes to give you trouble? If you are one of many that explains a lot of things and frankly it's a bit depressing.
Yes people have been worrying about that for a while. A frequently used feedstock is gas so it doesn't quite link in to peak oil, there's a bit more gas around than the ultra-convenient liquid oil (not gas, not shale, not tar) that the peak oil problem is about.
It's just a measure that is not being applied correctly if applied to "sports people or gym junkies". It's a rough metric that was never designed to take people with large amounts of muscle into account. They already know they are healthy so the BMI figure was never intended to apply to very fit people.
Thankfully that's an extrapolation error. The "green revolution" of increased food production was in full swing when Asimov was writing his early stuff and Asimov was paying more attention to science than most so noticed. The reduction in family sizes due to prosperity was not so obvious until later. Those European immigrant families with ten children making it to adulthood due to the first generation of prosperity were still alive when Asimov started writing and the smaller second generations were not so obvious.
Looking back at photos the "fat kid" wasn't that by current standards either. And that was with baked goods at the school canteen dripping with fat (cream buns, sausage rolls etc). No carbonated drinks though, which I suspect are a very major part of the cause.
There are many causes of cancer because it's uncontrolled cell growth due to damage and eating the wrong stuff causes some of them. It's like a lottery and the more "tickets" you buy the more chances there are of it happening. Asbestos in the lungs for instance increases the chances massively due to cell damage and later growth with every breath, so a tiny chance with every breath adds up to near certainty over time. Certain chemicals in some of the charred fatty stuff that tastes so good also cause some damage with a tiny chance every time you consume them of the damaged cells becoming cancerous.
The only thing left that we have not found out how to keep from killing us is cancer
There is a lot of other stuff but cancer is a pretty huge category of problems. Curing cancer is probably in the same ballpark as curing every single virus then going after the prions.
you could *smell* the fresh vegetables as soon as you walked in the door. The whole place smelled almost like a garden
As an aside that's by deliberate design which is why the potatoes etc that don't smell as strongly are not as close to the main entrance. Being a place where frozen water doesn't drop out of the sky all that often helps as well. It was cold last night. I may have to shut one of the windows tonight.
Also note the sugar in bananas is not quite the same thing as the white stuff people put in their coffee or sprinkle on their breakfast cereal.
It's actually worse for you (fructose) but there is nowhere near enough of it to matter unless you eat multiple large bucketfulls of them daily. Even blended down to liquid that would be a challenge.
For beans you better know what to buy and how to cook them or you're going to get sick. I forget why.
With dry red kidney beans there is "phytohaemagglutinin" that causes diarrhoea if they are not soaked for hours and then brought up to a boil for ten minutes or more. That's potentially a problem with using a slow cooker which is otherwise ideal for beans and may take hours on high to get up to a boil. I was thinking about slow cooking beans in a solar cooker while camping but that is the showstopper:
Canned beans are a different story but much more expensive (though cheaper than a lot of other things).
A lot of asian food is very cheap to cook but it's a learning curve for most people in the west. If someone has poor reading skills and nobody to show you how to make the stuff it's not likely to happen - plus the stuff that tastes the best isn't any better for you than high fat stuff from the west.
That's because the "small government" dream is not having enough people to catch fraudsters, especially at the big donor end of town. It's never been about spending less taxpayers money. The problem is those who really would die without help are being tarred with the same brush as those who are well off but gaming the system, plus many between the two extremes. Of course there is no quick fix.
What is the Asian supermarket situation like in the US? In some other parts of the western world it's a dirt cheap way to get ingredients. If you are prepared to give up meat (but not dairy) for a while it can be very cheap. A problem for some would be that while a 25kg bag of rice is a very cheap way to buy rice it's a bigger lump sum than an overpriced supermarket 500g packet of rice (or a cheeseburger).
Are you suggesting that the utorrent bitcoin mining malware and similar things are something I made up or are you attempting to distract and change the topic away from malware?
For some reason a lot of people think that but it's modern English without fixed spelling which is why I brought it up. I don't have a hope of reading anything in old English. Thanks for the reply it provides some insights.
I probably managed to permanently drive any spelling bee obsession out of my head by reading "Canterbury Tales" which is in middle English and not modern English like Shakespeare and everything since. The trick, which made it possible for me and I'd say anyone here to be able to read it without a lot of difficulty, is to read it aloud and when you sound the words out the very different spelling no longer matters. It's a slow way to read but you can then understand all the sex and violence that kept the book popular for centuries.
I proofread a textbook back in the day when I hid in academia for a while when manufacturing crashed, but that didn't turn me into a person that wishes to notify people of errors on a site with casual posting such as this.
Reports, books, signs, GUIs etc are one thing. Slashdot posts and informal emails are another.
I was lucky to meet people who worked with the real thing and had some interesting stories before playing that card became fashionable. Cat in the wrong place? Pick up and throw hard versus just getting annoyed. I doubt that there is a single poster on this site that would be considered close to non-functional.

Don't do red kidney beans in a slow cooker THE WRONG WAY by being impatient about it being slow is the very simple answer.
Seriously? Is that all it takes to give you trouble?

Could be ataxia, its quite a problem in Cyrodill.
Only by the BMI which was never meant to be anything other than a rough guide for people who are not physically fit.
Wow, I just looked that up - in the land of Kellog that's still the way to start the day?

Yes, muscle is heavy so the BMI is not for athletes or bodybuilders.

Try understanding fluid flow. Empirical formulas and rules change a lot according to the situation there as well.

With a handle like that - the horror!
