To be clear, please continue to enjoy your food the way you want it. Just know what the words that exit your mouth mean. Life shouldn't be safe, and many of life's greatest pleasures are not safe.

Is it a Canadian beef problem? Nah, it's just a problem with the definition of "safe food". If the food is not cooked to 165F, then any bacteria, fungi, and parasites that are present could still be alive. There are no guarantees that the beef didn't have tapeworms, and since ground beef is usually from multiple cuts, there's a larger chance that a tapeworm has been ground up and spread throughout. It's a tiny chance, but it's still a chance. Steaks are less of a risk, because it's a single cut, and the chef can visually inspect it.

The waiver is stupid, but it has less to do with capitalism and more to do with the legal system. People sue for anything and everything, and I don't blame companies for trying to defend themselves from that. They asked the dude to sign a waiver, because they're afraid he doesn't understand the risks and might sue if he gets sick.

Funny thing is: in this case the guy didn't understand the risks. He thought they were saying their beef is sketchy. What they were really saying is: all ground beef not cooked to 165F could be sketchy. I think he's dumb, because he doesn't know that a medium cooked burger involves risk but has been requesting it everywhere he goes. If he had known what a medium burger is, he would've just said "yeah yeah yeah", signed, and ate the burger like an adult.

I'm not you pal, buddy. (but we might be friends now)

Dude is incredibly stupid, because he's been ordering under-cooked burgers without any conception of what he's requesting for "Bob"-know-how-long.

He might like medium-cooked burgers, but he has no idea what that even means. The food at the hotel isn't less-safe than other places. They just didn't assume he read the fine-print at the bottom of the menu and were the first to inform him that it's not safe.

Yeah, they delivered the waiver at the wrong time, but dude should've already known what he was ordering wasn't safe. I order over-easy, soft-boiled, and sometimes sunny-side-up eggs. I know the risks, and I accept them.

Unless you put an a ton of effort into it, ground beef is only safe well-done. To get safe under-cooked ground beef, you need to discuss your intentions with your butcher and grind the beef yourself. Even with grinding a single, quality cut of beef, you're still gambling.

Also, fuck you, I'm not your friend guy, here's a rocket ship ().():::::::::::::::::D~~~~~~~

lol, I love you, bro.

40 C high for Thompson-Nicola in August so far, so this bodes well for you.

Yeah, this is one of those constant annoyances that you kinda just live with. It doesn't matter that much, because compound words were at some point not one word, and there may be separate words that you use today that will join together during your career. Electronic mail became e-mail became email. As long as the casing doesn't hide the meaning, you're doing it right. Also be consistent. Don't recreate such monstrosities as XMLHttpRequest.

Those glasses are hideous, but the Superhero Burger looks reasonable.

I love that they couldn't get Jim Carrey to do the commercial, so they just kept him out of frame or unlit.

Yet, we need to continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with the women and people demanding the basic rights we take for granted and enjoy every single day.

We must try and save the lives of those sentenced to death by raising the political cost of their executions and making sure that those languishing in prisons are released.

I’m calling on the international community and media to keep shining a spotlight on my country to demand that the regime stops using torture immediately.

Let's hope MLS solves some of this, but there is a certain amount of necessary complexity with syncing encryption keys for groups as people come and go.

I'm very annoyed by issues decrypting messages in private conversations. Nothing is changing, so it should just work after the first message, but no. Random messages can't be decrypted unless I refresh. Very frustrating.

Sounds great!

And I think we can define the a fair win condition thusly: if timeanddate.com reports an average high for a month in BC as a whole or in any regional district greater than 50 C before October 2028, you win; otherwise I win.

The loser donates 50 CAD to a food bank of the winner's choice.

Historic weather links that'll be useful for checking the data (change the URL for the month & year you're checking):

I'm referring to the "High & Low Weather Summary" table. I'm sure we'll both just be watching to see what happens in Thompson-Nicola regional district.

This seems fair to me, because we both of pretty good odds of winning. With how extreme the weather events are getting and how rapidly things are accelerating, there's a good chance that we could see a 5C increase in the high for Thompson-Nicola by October 2028, but maybe not, and any of the other districts could surprise us.

When you realize that you should not have smoked before the presentation /s

It is honestly tragic and infuriating to watch elected leaders rot while refusing to stop governing.

 

I started boiling potatoes and noticed that the starches formed foam of the shape of the pieces on the surface 🤌
