Actually it's perfectly safe to eat raw chicken in a lot of the world. It's only when you scale up chicken farming up past a certain point that salmonella becomes an unfixable fact of life that you just have to accept is always likely present. Past that it just comes down to "should people be allowed to eat food I think is gross".
Yeah and if you're henry David thoreu and you're making a nice meal because rosseau is coming over for dinner so you kill and clean your one singular chicken that you have in your one garden of eden forest on the edge of time itself, then sure. Eat chicken tartare and be damned.

If you are not a magical person in a germless otherspace making dinner for two with the world's only chicken you've known it's whole life, then don't loving poison yourself.

Or poison yourself gently caress it if you're eating meat slime anyhow who gives a poo poo

But it was like a tenth the size of St Louis?

Sure. But that's not the right way to look at it.

Galveston at the time had 37,000 people. It was a huge city then, and very wealthy and successful. It was known as the "Wall Street of the South".

The hurricane killed 6,000 to 8,000 people. That's about 1/5th the city's population. It was, and still is, the deadliest natural disaster in US history. The city never recovered fully. (Of course, Houston came to prominence right around then, which further slowed, and ultimately limited, Galveston's recovery.)

That is true for every sort of raw meat dish though, you can't eat poorly raised or handled beef or fish or horse meat either, chicken meat doesn't just magically generate disease, it's just not raised in a way that is healthy.

Good news though, raw pork in the US was always near impossible because trichinosis was so common but in the last ten years we suddenly got super good at stopping trichinosis in pork and now it's down to less than .01% of pigs and will probably be gone soon. So raw pork will be safe enough soon.

Innovis is the one businesses tend to use. Krebs mentioned it as the fourth most important one to lock down.

Generally I would get the report then freeze, but I am just a guy on the internet.

What are you talking about? The distance between Ironstache and Ryan is 5%, roughly equal to one of those little squares in the background. The distance between Ironstache and Undecided is 16, which is three times as much, roughly, and which is blocks difference in height

The human race has travelled far since, those bygone ages when men used to fashion their rude implements of flint, and lived on the precarious spoils of the chase, leaving to their children for their only heritage a shelter beneath the rocks, some poor utensils — and Nature, vast, ununderstood, and terrific, with whom they had to fight for their wretched existence.

During the agitated times which have elapsed since, and which have lasted for many thousand years, mankind has nevertheless amassed untold treasures. It has cleared the land, dried the marshes, pierced the forests, made roads; it has been building, inventing, observing, reasoning; it has created a complex machinery, wrested her secrets from Nature, and finally it has made a servant of steam. And the result is, that now the child of the civilized man finds ready, at its birth, to his hand an immense capital accumulated by those who have gone before him. And this capital enables him to acquire, merely by his own labour, combined with the labour of others, riches surpassing the dreams of the Orient, expressed in the fairy tales of the Thousand and One Nights.

The soil is cleared to a great extent, fit for the reception of the best seeds, ready to make a rich return for the skill and labour spent upon it — a return more than sufficient for all the wants of humanity. The methods of cultivation are known.

On the wide prairies of America each hundred men, with the aid of powerful machinery, can produce in a few months enough wheat to maintain ten thousand people for a whole year. And where man wishes to double his produce, to treble it, to multiply it a hundred-fold, he makes the soil, gives to each plant the requisite care, and thus obtains enormous returns. While the hunter of old had to scour fifty or sixty square miles to find food for his family, the civilized man supports his household, with far less pains, and far more certainty, on a thousandth part of that space. Climate is no longer an obstacle. When the sun fails, man replaces it by artificial heat; and we see the coming of a time when artificial light also will be used to stimulate vegetation. Meanwhile, by the use of glass and hot water pipes, man renders a given space ten and fifty times more productive than it was in its natural state.

The prodigies accomplished in industry are still more striking. With the co-operation of those intelligent beings, modern machines — themselves the fruit of three or four generations of inventors, mostly unknown — a hundred men manufacture now the stuff to clothe ten thousand persons for a period of two years. In well-managed coal mines the labour of a hundred miners furnishes each year enough fuel to warm ten thousand families under an inclement sky. And we have lately witnessed twice the spectacle of a wonderful city springing up in a few months at Paris,[1] without interrupting in the slightest degree the regular work of the French nation.

And if in manufactures as in agriculture, and as indeed through our whole social system, the labour, the discoveries, and the inventions of our ancestors profit chiefly the few, it is none the less certain that mankind in general, aided by the creatures of steel and iron which it already possesses, could already procure an existence of wealth and ease for every one of its members.

Truly, we are rich, far richer than we think; rich in what we already possess, richer still in the possibilities of production of our actual mechanical outfit; richest of all in what we might win from our soil, from our manufactures, from our science, from our technical knowledge, were they but applied to bringing about the well-being of all.
