Anything to avoid regulating real change right? Why save huge amounts of emissions by mandating slight changes to over the road trucks and commercial users when you can instead harass regular (well asshole) drivers?

Move to Michigan! Our large Middle Eastern and African population ensures you'll always be able to get it from any stand alone butcher and very often at your normal grocery store.

All of the nicer grocery stores in my area (Whole Foods, any of the better stocked small chain grocers, but not Kroger/Meijer) stock a wide variety of frozen 'game' meats. Rabbit, boar, venison, etc. Rarely fresh, but always

I've never seen 'mutton' be goat. Mutton is the name for the meat of adult sheep, lamb is the name of meat from the juvenile sheep. Goat is goat.

Yes. Mutton is the meat of the adult sheep, lamb is the meat of a juvenile sheep. The flavor is different, but in a volume-ish way. If you think of the flavor of lamb as being a 4, the strength of the mutton flavor is like a 7-8. It's

Here in Michigan mutton is not overly difficult to get (lots of middle eastern and african immigrants) but it's a hard sell to anyone that didn't grow up eating it. Lamb (as you said) have a strong but not unpleasant flavor. Mutto

I don’t. I’ll ask her if her sister who is still in country can send her a couple. I’ll update the thread if I get any. It’s a very interesting place, it’s a shame it’s so closed off.

Our old exchange student from Turkmenistan insisted that there was an Apple store in a couple of malls in Ashgabat, but I showed her that Apple doesn't officially sell anything in TM. She sent me some pictures and it was a complete clo

I’ve been up and down this country and outside of the pandemic one certainty had been that if I need to piss and I see a McDonald’s I know I’m covered. This changed during the pandemic since many of their lobbies were closed. But in the las

That article is painfully poorly written. It’s just reiterating the same few points over and over in different words.

The sound on those bikes are directed almost entirely backwards. Which is why you can hear a Harley that blows by you until they get 2 miles ahead, but that same bike is essentially silent while it’s closing on you from behind. It’s a stupi

My grandmother had them when I was growing up. Their adorable assholes. Like fat dogs. They love attention and are very stubborn and patient when it comes to getting their way. Our English mastiff had a lot of donkey tendency--heavy, loved

I think it has to do with a general feeling that we've lost control in our lives. Things we can control and they give us comfort. On a different level I also think its what has led to the rise in violent pornography (among other reason

These entrenched groups can only win by stopping the municipal options from starting. Once they've started using it they'll never go back (willingly) to these big corporate messes.

North Atlantic, Great Lakes, African great lakes, and northern Pacific. Lots of hand waving about improvements but the people who I know that work directly with it and have dedicated their lives to studying such things say the opposite.

My friends who are fishery people (biologists) are all pretty sure we've doomed commercial fisheries in the ocean. It's too late to recover and no one really wants to fix the issues. Enjoy your seafood while you can because they t

Last time I was in London I had the worst time with Uber--I could always get a car, but they could never find me then they'd call me and it was always a mess trying to find one another. I eventually just switched to using the black cab

As a fellow mod, I agree. The people that actually interact with the site overwhelmingly support the protests (look at every poll thats been posted asking for feedback). The vast bulk of users though? They have such LOW engagement with the

I seem to recall it had some parts of the transmission that hung down low and part of the..braking? system that was also very low. Everyone was very upset about it at the time.

Correct. Most F-150s are toys. My family were die hard, dyed in the wool union Ford guys, but they finally, begrudgingly, had to switch to Toyota in the 2000s because they 1) couldn't afford Ford trucks (even bare bones ones) 2) were c

$600,000 to get in on the national debate is definitely the cheapest way to go barring a widespread groundswell of support. For a rich guy thats almost nothing and it guarantees you'll have a national stage to have your say.

It's a gross industry designed to milk big dollars out of clueless customers. Listening to these 'security experts' talk makes me roll my eyes roll so hard that I'm afraid they'll get stuck in the back of my head.
