The bits of meat that go into hamburger are the leftovers after the cuts they really want to sell are removed. At best, it'd have a downward pressure on the price of dog food. At worst, it'd mean that in order to get the same price for each head, they'd have to charge more for the other cuts (but less for the hamburger cuts.)
It would lower the price of hamburger, at least, and you could have Kobe-burgers without feeling indulgent.
My diet is very Fish, Grain, and Veggie based and THAT gets me strange looks.
Well.. maybe if you didn't go out of your way to make people know you were ordering vegetarian, people wouldn't be uncomfortable about their non-veggie diets around you. You're not going to get strange looks just by eating those things. (except maybe Ostrich, on account of it's "exotic" perception. But it is pretty delicious, isn't it.)
There are a precious few vegetarians in this world who really do keep to themselves about it and avoid proselytizing. Most of the rest think they don't, and don't even realize they actually are doing it. Non-vegetarians almost never even talk about their "decision" not to not-eat meat. We don't even have a "-arian" word for it.
I guarantee that if you go out of your way to not appear to even be a vegetarian, that you will be able to avoid the temptation. For instance, at the restaurant, don't ask, "do you have anything vegetarian." Just order something from the menu that happens to be vegetarian. If you're unsure, find a way to ask them without your friend hearing (call ahead, ask on the way to the bathroom, whatever.)
Definitely don't ever make stupid remarks like, "It's not my place to force you to be healthy." There are plenty of healthy diets that involve meat. In fact, it's a lot easier to have an unhealthy diet as a vegetarian if you don't put any thought into it. And a phrase like that is exactly the kind of proselytizing I'm talking about. You don't think it is, but it sure sounds pretty smug to everyone else. If someone says gets apologetic about ordering steak, try to be genuinely surprised that they even knew you are a vegetarian.
Now, you might be thinking, "I'm not going to go out of my way to avoid making my friends uncomfortable about my diet. They should just deal with it." And they should. But that doesn't matter if they don't/can't/won't. And if you are thinking that, you've just learned something important about yourself, too.
Some of the evidence is underwhelming and very poor, indeed. I've seen links here in slashdot to bird studies that claimed speciation occurred on the basis that that minor physical attributes (colors, mostly) were resulting in birds of the same species choosing not to mate after events in human time-scales physically separated the populations for a time.
Certainly that could be a first step, possibly a necessary step. But it is not sufficient to the claim of speciation.
The point is that most people arguing about it really don't understand evolution. They latch onto it with all the religious fervor of misplaced faith. And ironically, these adherents to some kind of "atheist" white labcoat cult use it as a bludgeon to bash the religious. So, it's no surprise that they try to fight back with nonsense like ID.
Ignorance is should not be ignored wherever it is found. Especially if it occurs in or around scientific fields.
About your sig: If someone doesn't trust ssh, which has popular open and closed-source implementations, and been reviewed by many, why would they trust some home-grown alternative with a significantly smaller base of eyes?
No, that's not how half-lives work. Or, it's half-how.
But any individual item has a 50% chance of failing in any given month if the half-life hypothesis is true. It asymptotically approaches one as you increase the time period: i.e. it has a 75% chance of failing in any given two-month period.
Further, if they fail like half-lives, and you replenish the item (through replacements), you would expect the failure rate to remain constant: 50% of the population of keyboards failing every month. Some of which being new keyboards, of course.
More importantly.. 30 day manufacturer's warranty? wtf? I don't think there's a single product in the local electronics mart with less than a year. Maybe 90 days, minimum, and for like a cheap flashlight or something, not anything with silicon as or more complicated than a microcontroller.
Smaller molecular weight typically preferred for space thrusters, due to the higher exhaust velocities for similar amounts of energy or momentum imparted. p=mv and E=mv^2 and all.
Which in turn means higher specific impulse.
Which in turn means greater delta-v budget for the same mass.
The price for pushing fewer molecules at higher speeds? Lower thrust at the same power level. But if you've got "unlimited" energy (solar) or "nearly unlimited" (RTG), you can take afford to take the time.
In fact, there are transfers calculated that take less time, despite taking longer to get up to speed, due to the greater delta-v.
Since double-ionzation is much more difficult than single ionization, different atoms have different work functions, and there is a limit to the electric field you can practically achieve, charge:mass ratio is a design constraint.
1) it's a state by state rule. Not all states are doing it. 2) there are provisions such that the buyback is reduced if more people take advantage of it 3) they don't pay you. They simply credit you for the appropriate amount of kWh. If you're below zero at the end of the month, they still don't pay you, and your bill won't actually be zero.
It doesn't matter how much you tone down the bitterness, it will always taste like burnt cherry pit tea. Unless you've got a terrible sense of smell, it's always going to smell better than it tastes, even if you like the way it tastes.
But yah, sweetened, creamed coffee is an abomination. If you're going to turn your coffee into a milkshake, then you really don't like coffee. You can get "coffee syrup" for that that tastes a lot better.

What I don't get is why mass is quantified in pounds and not slugs [wikipedia.org].
Pounds-mass predates slugs. Of course it helps that the concept of "pounds" also predates the concept of a distinction between weight and mass.
And why don't metric-using folks quantify their weight in newtons?
Because people don't measure their weight. They measure their mass. How much that mass happens to weigh at sea level or somesuch is unimportant, since it's the total quantity of matter that composes you that is the health concern.
But what is curious is that metric-users do use the idea of "kgs force" for things that are force measurements, when a perfectly acceptable newton already exists.
Well.. it's a good thing we've got a Republic, then...
I'm sure that they said the same thing (with a smaller number, of course) in 1861. After all, how many republics or democracies had even existed before then? (I know it's at least one of each, but the number is small until the modern era, in which the US was one of the first.)
Africa is no more a "continent" than Europe is. It, Europe, Asia Minor, Asia, and India are all part of the same land mass.
So he'd be a Eurasindiafrican American (we smartly divided our continent into "north and south" so you can still refer to it properly without resorting to portmanteau)
Don't you think that those that voted YES have a right to be offended by your accusations that they took bribes?
I have no desire to read the entire standard, but if the descriptions we've seen here on slashdot are representative, I submit that many here would suggest that they should be far more offended by the suggestion that they didn't.
Where you think a station falls in it's bias is more indicative of where you are than where they are. But, they leaned quite a ways to the left the last I checked. Which admittedly was an episode of Bill Clinton chop-pointing at an old woman while telling Monica Lewinsky* that he did not have improper sexual relations with said old lady.
*a story which, you might recall, was broken not by the major news networks, but by a blogger commenting on a story the major networks were sitting on.
You probably think Fox News is extreme-right because of the commentary division, which actually is quite right-wing. (except Bill O'Reilly, who I am convinced is actually a caricature of a talk-show host from the point of view of a left-wing commentator). But the commentary division is not the news division.

Are they doing moon bounce with a dipole?
That's a quarter the capacity of a moderate nuclear power plant.
Well, it works for real, physical property. Witness the first thanksgiving story, the fall of the soviet union, the plight of General Motors...
When men control the fruits of their own labors, society benefits from an abundance of such labors.
So, why shouldn't you expect it to work for intellectual property, as well?
Where is your counter-example? Or are you too busy declaring yourself to be "rubber, not glue" to think of one?
Indeed. They really should've done it ten years ago. At a time when five years ago was more than four years over the horizon!

Well if you check the PE, it's now down around 40, so I think you could make the argument that it has been growing it's way out of its bubble.
You could make that argument, but I fully expected a burst, so, I guess I was mistaken.
Wish you hadn't posted AC, though, because now you won't get notified of my reply.
Refuses? are you sure it's just simply that they haven't thought of a solution yet that doesn't make that or another problem worse?

Ah, but how many baseballs can you carry on your spacecraft?

there are many kinds of efficiency. You must always remember to be most efficient with the thing you have the least of.
