No, but i absolutely want you to remind me.

Yes, but you know how Kubrick was. He made them film on location.

It's just unnecessarily huge. I've never seen so many gas pumps in my life. Or so many toilets. It's honestly absurd and made me feel existential dread. It's like everything wrong with America all in one convenient pit stop. I couldn't even enjoy the wall of jerky. Bathrooms were nice, though.

Sorry, i guess i kinda buried the lede there, lol

yeah, mycotoxins (ie: toxic byproducts from fungi/mold decomposing your food stuffs) don't always get broken down during cooking. So, while cooking according to standard food safety specs may have killed the mold, their shit is still everywhere ready to fuck your shit up.

Not to mention that you have to survive an infection before it matters that you immune system learned to detect the infectious agent. Yes, the first inoculation techniques were literally just minor exposure to the infectious agent (eg: grinding smallpox scabs and blowing the resulting powder up the nose -- wtf). While it technically worked, the mortality rate was still pretty damn high, just not quite as high as ya know getting smallpox the normal way, and thus really only used when a serious outbreak was occuring. We've gotten so much better at making vaccination safer and more effective, because we now know so much more about what is actually occuring biologically and know to use attenuated virus or just the benign protein coat alone to achieve results. Why would you ever want to go back to scab-snorting (or toilet licking, apparently, lol)?

Luckily, it's a linear relationship and they gave us the temp change per slap. So, if we assume the chicken has thawed in the fridge (40°F) and we want to reach 165°F for food safety, we only need

(165 - 40)°F * (5°C / 9°F) / (0.0089 °C / slap)
= 7803 slaps

Although, to be honest I think this would only work for a spherical chicken in a vacuum, as otherwise you'd be losing too much heat between slaps. And even in a vacuum, you'd lose some heat via radiation... So really, you should stick a temperature probe in there and just keep slapping until it reaches 165°F. Don't even bother counting.

Sorry for the silly units, I only know food safety temperatures off the top of my head in °F.

I want a physical keyboard again. I cam't type on these damn tochscreen buttona. They're too small and i canct tell which keya i'm toiching.

I have always used an ad blocker in the browser, but i recently jumped on the DNS blocking train and it's like a whole new kind of awesome on my phone in particular.

They address your point in the article. The protections you speak of, that workers fought hard for, do not always or often extend to pregnant mothers.

I heard her talking about it on NPR earlier today. She did get her kid back, but it was a whole fucking ordeal she and her family should have never had to go through in the first place (and thank god she had the resources to fight it)

Also that Seinfeld episode.

There are some times when i believe i'm only as old as i feel. And there are other times when i realize i'm actually just Abe Simpson with an onion still on my belt yelling at clouds.
