The machine I have is so easy that I ended up getting two. I just pour a quart of UHT milk in each one, don't bother boiling, add yogurt starter, turn on, put great thick yogurt in the fridge 9 hours later.

Do you know why that is? Is it the quality of the culture on the store bought? This also happens with me, however, the 2 rounds that I get from it are very good, thick, creamy yogurt, so I assume it has to have live cultures. Maybe I'm

Well, he wasn't a dog behaviorist, and he's not required to know how to adequately deal with vicious dogs trying to tear apart little ones. Stabbing the pitbull saved the other dog's life.

I've been around many alsatians, and many pitbulls (never had one, but many friends have). Given equal training, equal education (or whatever you want to call what some people do to their dogs), most pitbulls will be different from als

Change 'engineering' to 'law', and you have a similar situation in Brazil. There are 1,500 law schools in the country. Most graduates today never end up practicing it.

You're saying like its one way. Why aren't you calling for the U.S. to stop the heavy subsidizing of its agriculture production and allow it to compete freely with other countries crops who want to export to the U.S.? Or should fr

There are machines that do this. Prety expensive though. Maybe too expensive for a uni's department where there won't be enough work to justify the machine's price?

I wonder what will happen to gas prices by then. Will it be feasible to still drive daily in one, or just an hour of fun driving on the weekend?

Sure, just as when I lived in a big crowded city I never really encountered anyone who was more than mildly annoyed by graffitti, trash in the street, minor vandalism (broken street lights, etc), and even petty theft.

You know, this is true even in countries where (my luck) old editions of chess books are printed without updating the notation to algebraic. Turns out people buy and read the books, but when they talk about chess, they use algebraic. PS. it

Off topic, but you know the person doesn't play chess when (this is very common) they think that a chess master can spot a mate-in-1 and nobody else can. Mate in 1s are fairly easy to spot if you've been playing chess for, let

I didn't know that. I thought the PLBs would have some feature to prevent accidental activation. But then, people have to pick up a phone and dial a specific 3 digit sequence to call for emergency, and the thing is abused too often, so

A ham radio is good to have, but in many remote places will be useless if you can't reach a repeater. I would definitely take a PLB and not rely solely on my HT if I was going somewhere remote.

If you don't want to pay a subscription, a good option is a Personal Locator Beacon (commonly abbreviated to PLB). Another advantage they have is that the batteries last for 5 years or more, and usually send a stronger signal (this was
