I know so many people who get frustrated with hobby tools and then quit the hobby, when if they would've bought something decent to start off with, might've kept interest. The price differential is a lot less if you buy used, but

Chickens make hardly any sense right now, as they are quite efficient at turning feed into meat. The big wins are in expensive cuts of meat from large, popular animals... i.e. beef and tuna.

Nope. For the same reason I know many people who voted for Trump, and then didn't after four years of him. They just didn't care to spend more brainpower on the issue than they already had. Most people have better things to do tha

Law firms know this, and get around it by delegating everything they possibly can to paralegals and junior staff while representing much more hands-on involvement by senior, experienced staff. Sorta like software outsourcing, actually.

No, I can't envision this. Surface texture alone will not tell you if meat is cooked. There is no getting around the temperature probe. Now, simple color matching models are used in some fancy toasters on white bread to determine brown

You mean some radars inability to detect stationary obstacles. Clutter rejection has a lot of more sophisticated algorithms to apply with greater compute power to throw at the problem.
