It's PanDENmonium! [Off Topic Chat]

Just a quick question lads, I didn't make a thread because it's a yes/no answer... Is agricultural science a recognised science? Like where I need it, can I use it? Thanks!

No it's not! Why would we have an innate need to eat meat when we can't even digest the stuff?

Clearly I am the less educated here, what do you mean by we can't digest meat? Do our bodies struggle to process meat?

My understanding was that we have adapted to eating meat, like our incisor teeth(Aren't they the ones that are meant to be good at cutting through meat?)
Plus some nutrients are hard to come by elsewhere.

And lastly, Bacon. That is all.

We can't digest raw meat, our teeth, digestional tract and immune system just isn't cut out to deal with it. We can tolerate cooked meat, but high consumption is linked to many health problems (although reports about that are hard to put into context when so many people have crap diets anyway).
Also while meat itself has vitamins and important trace elements, I have to wonder how many of them actually survive the cooking process. Many vitamins are sensitive to heat, and microwaves can destroy many of the ones that aren't.

I probably sound like biased vegetarian, but I honestly don't care if people eat meat or not, I just dislike when people use false information to justify their meat eating ways :pac:

Bump up the cooking/recipes thread with some nice vegetarian recipes! I have one for a nice stir-fry and one for spinach and ricotta tortellini, but I'm always looking for more.

I'm sorry, but I just can't believe in a world where a chicken's menstrual cycle is tasty by sheer coincidence.

As far as I've heard it's only recognised as a science in Ireland but that's it. So it's of no use to you outside of Ireland really......Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Geography trip to Howth. Doesn't know where Howth is. Only the vaguest idea of how to get there. Can't even say it properly. Fun day

He hits the nail right on the head about it.

There are some drunken self proclaimed "clondalkin gangstars" on my bus, sitting at the back, because they're shmad ou'. They're shouting about how happy they are to be going to Arklow for St. Paddy's day, and one of them claims there's going to be a massive rave in the main street. I have a feeling they've never left Dublin.

Also, one of them has just proclaimed that he doesn't sleep, because "sleep is for de English".

Edit: They're drinking champagne. Champagne.

Invisible Children Co-Founder Detained

A co-founder for Invisible Children was detained in Pacific Beach on Thursday for being drunk in public and masturbating, according to San Diego Police Department.

Jason Russell, 33, was allegedly found masturbating in public, vandalizing cars and possibly under the influence of something, according to Lt. Andra Brown. He was detained at the intersection of Ingraham Street and Riviera Road.

So yeah, I'm definitely over my fear of shellfish anyway. Playing with lobsters in work will do that. The first one moving when I picked it up gave me a fright and I dropped it, but the rest were grand.

During a lockdown you can't access add-ons to disable it. BULLETPROOF.

I think it mostly works because when you're procrastinating there's a part of your brain that wants the instant satisfaction and will contrasting be telling you "oh just check this, just for a second, now check this! And this and this!" when you make it harder to give into that part of your brain, the more sensible part has time to convince you to get back to work.
Of course if you're determined to procrastinate, blocking website isn't going to be much help, you do need some self control for it to work :pac:

Cold Turkey is great for blocking websites, there's pretty much no way around it at all; once you've decided how long to block the website for it's gone. I should know, I cracked after a day when I tried it, removed the whole program from my computer before reading that doing that automatically blocks the websites for a week, then when the week was up and it still wasn't working so I had to e-mail the guy who made the program and he had to guide me through getting everything to work again (admitting my complete lack of self-control was quite awkward and embarrassing too). So yeah, if you're as weak as me, it'll do the trick.

I see how they should work, but I think I'd be pretty set on procrastinating :pac:

I'm tempted to try it since i do have a lot of work to do, but I'd so end up spending more time trying to find a way around it than actually doing the work I had blocked it to do

you can use a proxy to get around it ? I'd probably have cracked too and either swapped my hard drive or totally reinstalled windows. I need to battle my procrastination at the root cause - me

Hmph. When I was young, mortgages were only for Protestants and the bourgeoisie. And buildings were known as "trees" and recession was known as "the gold standard". And......
