In violation of the very concept of these rules, here they are.

Duuuuuuuude, your not supposed to talk about "Fight Club."

I prepare it myself. It's safe enough.

I don't eat whole steaks raw. I cook those for a couple minutes.

Lots of people eat beef tartare. It's a dish made of raw ground been and seasonings. If the cow was healthy, the meat was stored and prepared correctly, and the person consuming the dish has a healthy immune system, then there shouldn't be a problem.
People do the same with raw fish sushi.

I was going to mention beef tartare. Beef sashimi is also a thing now. I don't care for it personally, but it's not uncommon for people to eat raw beef.

Interesting.

In my work, a computer is a tool. A tool operated by educated operators. Whether or not the operator can get the tool to perform a certain task or if the task should be performed is the question. Add hardware and programming. Is it worth the cost? Is it better, cost efficient or desirable to make the computer able to complete assigned task?

Trains run on tracks that are being more computer controlled. At a point, there is no need to have an engineer (train driver) sitting there since they are just there for the ride. Problem occurs, full stop and send a fixer out.

Airplanes only have a couple of things to run into. Mainly the Earth but other airplanes also. We have drones. We have the ability to automate. The pilot is there only in case something goes wrong. Computers are programmed for steady state operations. Abnormal or upset operations are a lot more challenging to program for. We are slowly getting there as the price decreases and speed of processing increases. Lot more risk when a plane falls out of the sky and stops compared to a train stopping. Should we discuss cars?

Yes, we need talented people to program, design, install and troubleshoot.

I happen to prefer devices actuated by physics rather than electronics, but all in all the sentiment is rather the same, as a generic view. To me, such devices are indeed a tool; but a tool whose beauty in itself combines to form a gestalt with functionality that I'll never tire of watching in operation.
I enjoy functional simplicity. The pursuit of ever-greater efficiency and cheaper cost is a worthy one, yes, but is it as deeply satisfying? I would hazard a guess that I am far from the only one that feels the answer is "no." Simplicity is also not always something I define from endpoints. Sometimes it's held in the way in which systems relegate a "task" (held abstractly) from each singular part to the next.

Obviously I do not believe you.

Oh ye of little faith.

 

[RUNuts]

Oh ye of little faith.

what about those of us with no faith?

 

[Sapphire Sebright]

... Oh, I'm all caught up. When did that happen?
Well, anyway, happy Friday, everyone.

Poor things... it's not their fault, though. I'm not planning to get them again. I have Chanteclers this year, so that I can hatch my own meat birds. For CX or other technological "miracle" breeds, you don't have to raise them that way unless you're in a hurry. You can feed them in the evenings and let them forage the rest of the day like your other poultry. It's not as efficient, not as quick, but much more humane, I think.

I know it’s not their fault and I do feel bad for them and that is why in the future I will not support the franken-chicken industry. Kinda like how some people feel about certain dog breeds, pugs as an example. I fed 2x a day and I put the food far away so they had to move. We also were going to see if we could breed our own meat birds. We have a few nice sized, broad cockerels out of a barnyard mix that we were going to experiment with. Time isn’t an issue for us, healthy birds are what we are aiming for. I was just saying to the SO that we should do a comparative nutrient analysis between CX and a normal chicken. Like a real scientific experiment. I just don’t know who would test the meat. Perhaps we could pay a school?

wanna fight about it?

Sucks to be you. You'll come around eventually.

I think somebody did an analysis of homegrown heritage breeds once. I don't remember where the thread/information is now.

@BantyChooks

I saw where someone posted a pic of you over in the Honey Factory thread.
