@Will: Incorrect, you are assuming HFCS is primarily fructose, but it's not. It's typically 55% fructose, 42% glucose. It's a little heavier on the fructose, but not by much (and so is honey I might add), and since it's sweeter than sucrose technically you could use less per volume (not that most manufacturers do). The biggest problem by far is purely the volume of it on the market.
Don't confuse High Fructose diet with High Fructose Corn Syrup. You absorb basically the same amount of fructose digesting cane sugar as HFCS - the problem with HFCS is that it's so cheap (and heavily subsidized) that there is way, way too much of it in our food. The important part is to drop all your sugar intake in your diet - for many reasons.
Keeping in mind that ethics are entirely subjective, and this is really nothing more than personal opinion.... personally I see nothing wrong with it. The way I see it, if the individual isn't entirely lucid when they make this choice, and are already so desperate as to go this route to begin with (without concern for the long term effects or even immediate consequences) - they are going to make one of two "bad" choices anyhow, and the one has a more dramatic long-lasting effect on others and society. If they are lucid, then they are well within their rights to make this choice anyway.
In short I agree with the sentiment expressed on their web site: "If you can not trust someone with their reproductive choices, how can you trust them with a child?"
Now, just how reasonable that all is is also depends somewhat on how the entire process is handled to begin with, and that I don't know.
I don't know if the mayor realizes, but in the eyes of the rest of the world, attributing a construction project to the success of your political structure is one of the most blatant and overused lines of bulls*** in history. Thanks for making us look stupid, again.
@Jolly, you can't detect added detail beyond 30fps, but there is a noticeable difference in the "feel" of the video as you push towards 60fps, particularly in scenes with fast motion. Anybody who has ever built their own PC gaming rig can speak to the difference. It's subtle, but noticeable.
"never be considered"? Somehow I doubt that. It's a serious sacrifice, but it's not like it can't be done. The only thing holding people back (in most countries) is the age of the children involved.
Note, as a former first tenor well attached to his privates, I am not encouraging this in any way, just saying I can see this happening. :)
Like I'd trust anything coming out of palmer - they can't even make a passable chocolate, it's more like brown wax. There are other companies out there that not only make chocolate, but some that offer solid chocolate bunnies - and they don't get any complaints about broken teeth, because their customers are generally not that stupid.
Pudding doesn't travel that poorly - we just have to be specific (i.e. bread pudding) to differentiate from the creamy desert.
In the US, biscuits and scones are similar, but not the same. Though the recipe is similar, "scone" is generally reserved for sweet scones only, while biscuits are savory, and the texture can vary depending on ingredients (flower or baking soda, how you treat/cut/drop the dough, etc). And to the poster above, lard is not required, much less typical these days, we usually use butter as well.
When I was little, my parents took me to a park hunt, and as I was filling my basket, some other kids came over behind me when I wasn't looking and stole all the eggs out of my basket - repeatedly. I ended up with two eggs, and was so pissed my mother never did that again.
Even without the parents, egg hunts are just lessons in greed - stick with the family ones, then you can deal with the culprits when it's done if needed. That or at least warn them to keep their basket in sight at all times and be ready to fight for your prize. :)
"For a large, modern aircraft like the Airbus A380, that means that an extra $472 of fuel has to be burned on a flight from Sydney to London."
Based on the million/year figure, this is per flight, not per person (472 * 2 ways * 3 times per day * 365)
The Quantas A380 is outfitted for 450 seats.
So you are talking a little more than a dollar per person.
Which makes this entire conversation completely stupid, and the suggestion clearly based on the whims of a very petty individual. This cost is already covered by the most minor of hikes in fares - there are much bigger issues to deal with for the airlines, and more realistic and serious issues to deal with when managing grossly overweight passengers (and not just the tall ones because they weigh more).
I love these since a polish friend introduced me to them, but living in the states it's hit or miss if you can find an import store with all the flavors when you have a particular craving. :)
If you think "ethical" is checking a live trap regularly and releasing them, then that's fine. If you think it's more ethical to kill them quick, use a normal or rotary trap. It really doesn't matter except to the individual catching the mouse, because there's no point in arguing it with someone who feels differently.
In short I agree with the sentiment expressed on their web site: "If you can not trust someone with their reproductive choices, how can you trust them with a child?"
