    Eating a pink burger is begging to get food poisoning.

    wat

    Chopped meat has a tendency to grow some funky shit, in general.

    One can somewhat escape this by having their own mincer and dead cow in a freezer. But if you're making meat in any sizable portion for a restaurant, unless you clean it each and every time you make a serving, chances are some funky shit will latch onto it.

    Yet all the people eating medium burgers aren't coming down with a case of thew dead.

    EDIT: I'm not saying that you can't get a good well done burger, I'm saying that a place that won't cook lower than well is going to have low quality meat.

    when did setting become universe?

    you can change your setting by wandering over to the other side of town, but you don't get to change the laws of physics whilst doing so

    but not everything that gets called universe changes the laws of physics

    and some stuff that does rely on special laws doesn't get classed as universe.

    For example, I've never heard someone say "The Greek Mythology Universe" or "I want to visit the Mermaid-verse". Merverse?

    it implies a conceit of some alternate but coherent external metanarrative

    a setting has a princess. a universe has a hereditary monarchy, which generates princesses. in settings, you don't worry about where the princess came from or what happens after she marries the prince

    Eating a charred burger raises your risk of cancer because carcinogens.
    this is probably untrue and based on a news story I have horribly misremembered.

    Every time we have this discussion someone does bring up that.

    Only a curmudgeon actually chars their burgers! Sear, then cook on lower heat.

    Yet everyone and their mom sits there on like "high" on their stove smashing their burger down with their spatula and wondering why they have a dry pile of ash.

    Carl's Jr. Chars their burgers.

    It is the only fast food place i refuse to eat at.

    It's true, but assuming you cook the burger properly, most of it should die, esp the dangerous stuff like e-coli. The rest my body can handle. This is a fair price in exchange for a burger that has the flavortaste explosion of medium rare.

    actually, the way you want to cook a burger is by flipping it over a whole lot

    unlike a steak or something, where the fat is rendered by the heat, the fatty juices in a burger try to escape the eat, so they bubble to the top

    so after a few minutes, you want to flip it over and repeat the process again until you get it to the temp you want it

    Nope I was right.
    Cooking food at high temperatures, for example grilling or barbecuing meats, can lead to the formation of minute quantities of many potent carcinogens that are comparable to those found in cigarette smoke (i.e., benzo[a]pyrene).[7] Charring of food resembles coking and tobacco pyrolysis, and produces similar carcinogens. There are several carcinogenic pyrolysis products, such as polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, which are converted by human enzymes into epoxides, which attach permanently to DNA. Pre-cooking meats in a microwave oven for 2–3 minutes before grilling shortens the time on the hot pan, and removes heterocyclic amine (HCA) precursors, which can help minimize the formation of these carcinogens.[8]

    Your body is really good at fighting off cancer. I am having a hard time recalling the exact frequency, but it's supposedly daily/weekly how often you "have cancer."

    I'm torn on Lookouts etc

    Because like- theres a lot of cool ideas but then theres also like "oh okay so we have the same old girls are protectors of the forest thing again yayyy"

    The thornwatch is a neat idea, and the idea of a bunch of little kids learning how to survive in magical evil woods through kids games but the daughters left a weird taste in my mouth, even if the art was amazing (except for the panel with the druid where he is all "no tears, not on your birthday". her face is so bad there)

    While I was in the souf this weekend I went to a Hardee's for the first time in my life.

    Burger seemed p good for fast food.

    BUT...

    That may have had less to do with the burger and more to do with my recent activities.

    So...

    I dunno.

    You have to flip BEFORE it bubbles out though. If you wait too long on each side, AND flip more than 3x, you end up with a hard lump of dry meat.

    If you absolutely have to cook meat rather than eating it raw like a real man, then you'll want to skewer it on a giant spit and roast it over a blazing fire.

    You'd actually be surprised at how often this would not be the case. Sure we can suppose it, but most people aren't.

    I mean, in America anyways. Anywhere else making hamburgers is basically hell.

    Oh man I also met the Redneck Steve Irwin this weekend.

    He looked just like Irwin and he wore shorts and a button up shirt (the same shirt everyday in a different color) that looked like steve irwin's clothes.

    But instead of an Aussie accent he had a southern drawl.

    And instead of observing animals he liked to shoot them.

    Indeed.

    Just saying the name of the burger I ordered made me feel like my arteries were closing.

    It was quite the feat.

    Right.

    It just seems that everything these days is called a -verse without even noting whether or not it has the properties of one. Just a de facto synonym for setting.

    I'm pretty cool with it, don't get me wrong.

    Just curious.

    I think dragging gender politics into it a wee bit silly. None of it is all ideal and nice.

    Heavy implications that the lookouts aren't just what they seem - doesn't seem like it's just a way of teaching the boys of the village the skills they need, what with the comments from those older men that one of the boys was meant to die. Sacrifice, in a way? So not just keeping the village safe through what they learn.

    And how much they vilify the thornwatch, who seem to be opposed to that.

    The daughters, too, have a bit of a "sacrifice" aspect to it. The forest takes what it demands. It is after all called "the tithe."

    See, Foucault isn't even a left wing critic though. Many of his fears he shares with extremely conservative critics. For instance, he would probably be very suspicious of the government taking away firearms under the aegis of creating a safer society.
