i like to soak the chicken in a brine beforehand, keeps it moist and tender (though the skin isn't always the best that way but whatever, it's skin)

yeah the reason that the cushness isnt going anywhere is the same reason you'll never have too many good writers - its almost pure thinking and thinking clearly and well is very difficult which is also why writing is so drat hard

Enderzero posted:

that's a good point but those countries also seem to have trouble generating enough workers who can think precisely and creatively. im not a believer in american exceptionalism but there does seem to be something to a larger percentage of americans being able to function independently. in college the chinese and indians in STEM had huge study groups of cheating - there were a few really smart kids up top and then a whole bunch of intelligent kids who nonetheless were unable to complete basic coursework. that may be a cultural thing which could change over time though. it just seems the geniuses are evenly distributed, but the people in the tier below that are disproportionately american. so i guess you're right, the question is when that 1/10 as productive number is reached

I'm pretty sure the bootlickers here are the ones blindly claiming local laws that prevent you from renting out your own home are somehow just.

the fact that a city near a major fault line and with scenic views of two active volcanoes is attracting a lot of tech people/yuppies is a plus in this thread, right?

here's a gizmodo article on why the guy who shot the lion isn't that bad and in fact poaching is good in the long run because without poachers there is no demand for animals so they'll go extinct
