Why are burgers so bad for you?

It's not that it "has feces in it". I realize most food has foreign matter of some sort, and if you look at the whole ecological cycle than everything is just piss and shit and sunlight and water. I am not opposed to meat, and I frequently eat non-organic, non-grass fed stuff, if that's...

Why are burgers so bad for you?

No, not usually, but sometimes I shop at stores where the only options for certain produce are organic, so in that case, yes. I'm not poor enough to think that a Big Mac or Carl's Junior burger for ~$3 is a "good deal" because I don't fucking care and the thought of the raw ingredients plus...

Why are burgers so bad for you?

Do you think the McDonalds/BurgerKing/Carl's Jr. of the world buys better quality meat than that? I eat beef all the time. I eat steak often, and for burgers I'll do either buffalo burger patties or grass-fed beef. I just don't eat fast food burgers, because, as you said, its not ground...

Why are burgers so bad for you?

It's not so much that as it is that ground meat really isn't strictly 70/30, it's 76/24 or some such, combined with parts of a cow that are 50/50 that were most likely covered in fecal matter and had to be hosed off. Effectively, you're eating shit. It may be cooked shit, and it may be a...

4 stitches in my hand cost $452

I wrecked my bike, got taken to the ER, and two stiches to my lip and three to my cheek was $7,000. This effectively means that my surgery after my insurance paid 90% of it still cost about what yours did.

Vacuum selection help! (YAVT?)

Do you have any options for getting a non-bagless (bagged, i guess?) vacuum? My bagless one leaves a dust storm in its wake when I empty it :(

How do I install hardware wall lighting?

Yea, I'll talk to her. But I'm, at this point, trying to plan and figure out if this would be even possible. Thanks all for the advice. I should definitely proceed with Caution!

How do I install hardware wall lighting?

Just installing a couple of these totally new. The overhead lighting is relatively dim and there's a good space on the wall for three of those lights that I linked to above. Even if I don't go with that particular model, all of the ones I'd consider are hard-wired because I don't want a cord to...

Something like this comes with a hardware installation: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00088984 Let's say that I wanted to mount it in a segment of the wall with a light switch already on it (so I know the necessary wiring is already a bit accessible) - how hard is this to mount?

One thing I never understood about OT: That everyone thinks engineering degrees are > *. WARNING: LONG POST W/ RANTING

This is the best summary of what I intended to say. I'm not going to piece-wise respond to the posts that tell me i'm wrong, etc. etc. - but these few sentences right here sort summarize my general idea a lot better than I, myself, could have.

And I work for a company that is notoriously litigious and spends hundreds of millions of dollars on legal fees anually. I agree with your post 100%, but that doesn't change the fact that IP law is still fairly boring and not terribly interesting. Yes, it pays well - really, really well - and...

Yes, i really meant just EE. This was a more or less unedited post and I will change the title to reflect my final claim. It's not that I think other engineering fields are more useful or better, it's just that I don't have enough experience nor know enough people to really comment on them.

No, I don't see a lot of true finance people or true lawyers in P&N. Yes, there's LegendKiller, but beyond that, who actually works in finance? P&N is by and large armchair economists and lawyers, not real ones. Real finance people don't come to forums like this (LK exempted, because I do...
