It’s “just” fatty pork, but its got a lot of preparation options that bacon doesn’t have because of the lack of smoke curing.

Does anyone who is eating bacon in any form really that concerned with the health aspects of it? I love bacon, but keep my usage very moderate.

That isn’t really accurate. The Roman Empire of the several centuries after the Arab conquests had its down period in the 800s, but came back strongly for several centuries from 900 through 1200 during which time they were the most powerful

Every one of the increasingly rare cases in which I find myself perusing LinkedIn, I feel a little bit dirty afterwards.

The idiocy of badly interpreted statistics: “20% of electric car owners switch back to gas-powered cars of electric car owners switch back to gas-powered cars”. This kinda means that 80% don’t switch back. Given the current horrible state o

Mike Duncan’s Revolutions podcast has been the Russian Revolution in 2021 and as always, is very detailed and informative.

Short answer: it isn’t. A good answer to this question could easily be a finance or economics dissertation and I’m pretty sure a bunch of them are out there. Economics and finance are complex non linear systems with feedback. When a rule is

Tubes are probably the one thing that actually can have a real effect on the sound of an amp. The key word there is “can”.

Agreed. I’ve been driven by my M3 many times in one of the specific situations the author refers to (bumper to bumper on Boston’s SE Expressway) - with hands on the wheel to be sure.

Wow. 180% from me. HS: I’d have at least put in a bit of effort to get decent grades. My test scores (ACT, SAT) were much better than my grades implied. I had way too much “fun”. College: a decent small liberal arts program would have been

This is presumably Russia’s response to NATO threats of retaliation if they invade Ukraine.

My M3 since 2019. No issues at all. I wish all my other cars had been so good.

This is fishy. Not that I doubt it did indeed happen, but my experience is that finding non-Tesla high speed chargers on a road trip ranges from tricky and inconvenient to impossible. From that, I conclude that this was a well researched st

Your experience in flying between NYC and Boston on a Friday afternoon/evening flight must be really different from mine. I’ve spent hours in one or the other airport at times waiting for god knows what “equipment” to become available.

Right, and as a long term participant in this realm, I can definitely say that the speeding up is far greater than any cognitive decline I’ve had so far. To be sure - since it’s certainly possible that one wouldn’t notice one’s own decline,

I agree with your theory much more than that of the article. I’m not sure why, but I’ve always had the same theory so maybe it’s just confirmation bias. At any rate, I’m old and I can confirm that the speeding up isn’t just a myth.

Other way around. It is designed to deflate over time like gold. Of course if you mean it’s price is designed to inflate you’re correct.

The author should have pointed out that the historical background of Mercia was much more in line with the Britons (I.e, original Britons like the Welsh as opposed to the Saxons) in their perception of the concept of female rule. Not that M

I feel the need to point out that Nikon has always called extreme closeup lenses micro instead of the oxymoronic macro the rest of the industry uses: https://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/lens/f-mount/#special .

I wish I could upvote this enough times to get it to the top. This is the rational approach to any system of belief in which you yourself can’t reliably confirm or disprove the conclusions.

I don’t think it’s just people “younger than” you who don’t own any music anymore. Statistically, I’m pretty sure I’m older and I gave away my entire CD collection (as I had previously done with my LPs). I ripped the very few that I couldn’
