Hmm.. so the white is like the amniotic fluid and the yolk is a placenta...
Honestly if it came out as a nicely packaged chunk of nutrient dense meat in protein water I could see a world where they were a delicacy

    I'm in a similar position with aerospace manufacturing but on the welding side of things, always something a little bit different but also all within the same realm of action and requiring a fairly high degree of precision. And yes , fuck the current big players in the space game, but hard to deny some of the stuff the companies are doing is pretty dang cool

    I'm dealing with what I'm pretty sure is SIBO and am basically currently on a no suger diet, natural or added, and looking at the extreme low FOD map diet of no sugar, no gluten, no dairy for a while. It's really hard to avoid all added sugars, they put that shit in fucking everything and you can't trust the nutritional labels because they can say 0 grams of sugar per serving if the serving size is small enough. (Classic example is tic-tacs, ingredients are basically just sugar, but per serving size they can claim 0g of sugar because the serving size is one tic and one tac)

    All that to say, cutting sugar out of your diet is definitely doable, and honestly I've never felt healthier about my diet as much as I hate how it's being restricted.
    There are infinite ways to combine rice and beans and meats with spices that are nutritionally complete. You probably wouldn't have any issues with veggies either so that opens up the diet considerably.

    I guess, kinda, but the concept of "ownership" isn't the divine right of kings. It's an understanding of possession in relation to the rest of the world and other people. There are like zoning laws and shit like that for a reason, just because you buy a piece of land doesn't mean you can develop it into whatever you want and put a chemical processing plant in a residential neighborhood.
    Just because you bought an apartment and maintain exclusive ownership of it, it's in the context of someone else owning the building, and someone/thing further owning the area that building is in. Ownership doesn't give you any right to alter something in a way that affects the other peoples owned property or possessions.
    Not that I'm advocating that it's right or even a good thing, but essentially the "final boss" of ownership is the government because people can't be trusted not to be petty dicks to each other

    Today I learned.

    Beadle & Grimm’s Pandemonium Warehouse was summoned up by the five founders (including Matthew Lillard of Scream and Scooby-Doo fame) as a mid-life crisis.

    And like any good summoning, it has gone awry and grown into an actual company, only nominally under our control. We are gamers. We love games. We play games. And now we, or at least this thing we have summoned, make loot for gamers like us.

    We hope these things we have created bring you the same joy they bring us.

    The economic research firm's "True Rate of Unemployment" (TRU) seeks to capture the share of workers that the group defines as "functionally unemployed." This includes not only people who are unemployed and looking for a job, but also those who are involuntarily working part-time and who are earning poverty-level wages, or less than $26,000 annually before taxes.

    Other economists cautioned against putting too much weight on alternative measures of labor market health, including TRU.

    "An unemployment rate that would be in the 20% range does not line up with anything we see in the U.S. economy," EY-Parthenon chief economist Gregory Daco told CBS News.

    Daco said several factors are weighing on job growth. "You see ongoing moderation of wage growth, which is reflective of employers controlling costs, and wanting to make sure they have the right talent and the right skills at the right price, and not spend excessively."

    Muted wage growth dampens consumer spending, which drives two-thirds of U.S. economic activity.

    "One company's wage bill is another person's income, and in turn their capacity to spend," Daco said. "When I look at potential signs of softness for the U.S. economy, income growth has been trending around zero, adjusted for inflation, and that limits consumer spending growth. It forces some households to make more difficult choices in terms of where they spend their money and how much they spend, and that slows the overall pace of the economy."

    Sorry for copying like half the article, there's really not much to it. One research group saying if you count people forced to work part time or who are working full time but making below poverty wages as part of the unemployment % the number is >20%. In response they quote one guy saying "nuh-uh" with nothing to back it up, who then goes on to say jobs aren't growing because wages have stagnated and that when people don't have money to spend the economy slows down.
    But there's no way the slowing economy has anything to do with ~15% of the working age population being forced into poverty, no sir that doesn't "line up with anything we see in the US economy" .

    From my experience the numbers left of the colon are minutes and the numbers to the right are seconds. The seconds count down to 0 and then reset to 60 as the minute count decreases by 1 For whatever reason I actually get a tiny kick out of this weird behavior and almost always set my microwave for X minutes and 99 seconds (also almost never 100%power), my favorite part is adding 30 seconds with X:60< <70 so in theory it should be able to just go back to 9x but it always jumps up a minute and adds 30 instead. It knows 99 seconds is silly but still let's me do it.

    Howell told AP that federal authorities “poisoned our community to make cases” in New Mexico. An internal DEA report reviewed by AP detailed how the DEA watched and declined to interdict a fentanyl delivery of 74,000 pills in a mobile home park in Albuquerque.

    Pure water (deionized) is actually really bad for cooling systems because it will slowly dissolve the metals it's in contact with. You definitely want Distilled water (organic content removed) usually mixed with a glycol to improve corrosion protection and lower the freezing temps, with the most common one being ethylene glycol which can contaminate food and drinking water and make it unsafe for consumption

    I've had almost the opposite experience, also decently embarrassing for me.
    Thought I recognized some one from a work trip, we shake hands and they said it was nice to meet me, I asked didn't we meet at X a couple months ago?
    Nope, that was their boss, I'm just bad with faces.
