That would be plagiarism in an academic / essay writing sense. I can’t write an essay and just insert the entirety of book written by someone else in the middle of it.

No there aren’t. Not at the scale that humanity currently exists. We would literally die even if we just couldn’t make fertilizer. There would be no way to produce enough food for this many people.

Fair, but fishing still requires a lot of work.

Lol without agriculture you would literally end up eating shit and dying.

You can fit text-only wikipedia on a normal Blu Ray as it’s only about 24GB. You can also easily fit Llama 3.1 or any of the other open, offline capable ai models as they’re only about 4GB.

But they don’t bomb, which I don’t understand.

I’ve never once heard anyone talk about them, except to make a joke about James Cameron. Literally never even hear mention that they went to see a movie and it was Avatar. The fact that those movies make money confounds me.

We’re all just different parts of the universe looking back at itself in different ways.

A lot of us sing like Michael Bolton.

If there is min/maxing to be done then by definition our current practices are not best.

No.

Best practices explicitly and always refers to currently best available current practices.

On top of that, in the context of a discussion with an explicit goal, best practices would explicitly refer to how to the best practices for achieving that goal, not some other nebulous context of “best” practices.

Best practice for what oils to use for seasoning, and how to best apply them and get them to form even layers is up in the air.

Best practices are not up in the air. Best practices are to use a thin layer of high smoke point oil like rapeseed oil, baked above it’s smoke point for like 20m. Repeat to create a thicker layer.

What you are describing is min/maxing, and getting more specific from there. Yes, eventually researchers may discover even better oils or treatment plans for cast iron, but right now, best practices are known, reliable, not a mystery, and not hard to follow.

This level of mystery is not true. It’s just a hunk of iron that gets a polymerizered coating of oil on it. That used to be hard to achieve before we had reliable ovens and cooking oil. Now it’s easy.

That’s all there is to it.

They’ve continued to today because some people are paranoid / like to feel special / don’t understand things well, so default to perpetuating rules they heard someone say confidently rather than questioning why that rule was created in the first place.

Lol.

A) yes you do. You’re conflating not wanting to slightly alter your habits with not possible.

B) you can also leave it on the counter or the stovetop. You shouldn’t leave any metal object soaking in the sink for a day. Leave them on the counter and then put them in the sink to soak like 5 min before you start cleaning them.

Can you propose a process that is so flawless that it won’t fail a single time out of 5.5 Billion?

Well yeah, two obvious ones:

1. what you do with chicken nuggets, where you grind the meat.

2. where you train and pay your employees well and have quality control processes and audits to detect whenever something goes wrong.

Now, when a problem happens, I’d agree that Tyson should be on the hook to cover medical costs, etc. This shouldn’t hinge on the definition of “boneless.” Regardless of whether the customer should have known there was the chance of bone or not, their product caused harm in an unexpected way, and they should be liable for that.

It entirely hinges on that definition. Tyson isn’t going to get sued or cover shit if you choke on a bone in a normal chicken wing.

The harm occurred only because Tyson advertised them as boneless when they weren’t.

Unless you are eating octopus or calamari, every piece of meat ever comes with the possibility of bones.

Ok bud, so when I buy a chicken breast, it’s totally impossible for me to butcher and clean it in a way that there aren’t going to be bones in the end result?

You think bones just randomly grow throughout the muscle in impossible to predict ways?

Why on earth, should a corporation be allowed to advertise that they sell boneless wings that have bones in them? This isn’t the government holding someone’s hand this is the government preventing a massive corporation from lying and cutting corners to the point that people get hurt. Like Jesus Christ do you work for Tyson foods, are you sleep deprived, or genuinely just this daft?

If they have the possibility of having bones in them, then they should not be labelled “boneless”, since they are then, you know, not boneless. They should be labelled “sometimes boneless”, or the company should do its job and follow proper quality control processes.

We could also have prevented this situation with government mandated minimum chewing times.

Please do tell us your detailed plan for having the government regulate the chewing time of children?

I’m sure it’s more practical then just banning corporations from making false claims and lying to consumers.

It is the result of someone suing, but I have no idea what you mean with the modifier “just”.

A guy bought boneless wings, ate them, one of them had a long bone in it that he swallowed and it caused a massive infection.

He of course sued, and the Ohio Supreme Court made this asinine ruling to protect the food supplier mega corporation, rather then forcing them to have proper quality control processes.

It’s honestly one of the most mind boggingly stupid decisions I’ve ever heard. An Ohio State Senator introduced legislation in January to effectively tell the Supreme Court their ruling was dumb:

Coral?

Don’t take pics of random people minding their own business and post them on the internet without consent?

I know what you mean, but I get the impression that you and OP are using hate with different levels of intensity and specificity.

This didn’t feel to me like the ‘oh I hate Joffrey and can’t not-see him when I see Jack Gleeson’ type of “hate”.
