Am I the only one who thinks that thoughtful consumption of dairy products is acceptable as long as we show respect to the animals we raise for our benefit?

I love milk. I love dairy products. I love meat and other animal-derived things. I detest the disrespectful way that animals are treated in Factory Farms. That doesn't mean that I have to stop consuming the things that I appreciate, it just means I need to be more careful about who I buy these things from, and how much of them I consume.

Does that make me loony? Really?

Oh, also, "Here are our picks!"

The article is correct in its intent, albeit confusing.

Radiant heaters heat via infrared radiation. Only infrared-opaque material will absorb it.

Air? Infrared-transparent. No heat is transferred to it.
Your face? Infrared-opaque. It'll get nice and toasty in front of one of these.

They're somewhat directional too- Like a lightbulb. so you can point them toward whatever area you expect to be occupying.

Yes, they'll also heat up the walls, floor, and furniture, but you're still being efficient by avoiding heat loss to the air.

I could probably eat 3 or 4 lbs of chopped liver in one sitting. I'm sure my cholesterol would love me.

My mother's recipe uses gribbnes and shmaltz, and it is the most delicious thing I've ever eaten.

> VACUUM MUST... NEVER buy a vaccum without
> a HEPA filter.

That's incorrect.

HEPA filters by definition filter 99.97% particulate 0.3 uM in diameter. Particulate smaller or larger is not defined.

Because of conflicting forces, 0.3 uM is the most difficult size to filter.

The problem is that most of the mechanical connections (including the ones surrounding the filter) aren't tight enough to prevent the same size particulate from flowing through.

You end up paying more for filters which don't last as long or do any more than any other vacuums.

If you want a good vacuum, check out what they're using at your local hotel. Those are generally excellent.

What do you mean by that?
The reason titanium is used in orthopedic prostheses is because it's bio-compatible and very strong for it's weight.

So wait, were the cups made of Jell-o (gelatin) or agar?

Isn't this list very strongly skewed by the amount of each individual food we eat?

If people eat 50 times more potatoes than oysters, How does this make oysters riskier?

This list needs to be normalized by the rate of consumption. I want to know (outbreaks)/(million units of food eaten)
