There must be fifty ways to dump your stew out...

By -
but I haven't found a single one with which I am fully satisfied.

Throw it in the garbage can? No, because if there is even a small tear in your garbage bag, you will have a mess on your hands.

Dump it in the sink? Then you're going to have chunks of meat and vegetables to cleanup from your sink.

I am about to dump mine into a strainer sitting in the sink. This works okay, except afterwards I will have a pot and a strainer to clean, not just a pot.

    Don't you have a garbage disposal?

      Unfortunately, no. And it's a rental so I'm not going to install one.

    You could always, I don't know, just eat all of the stew.

    I never like to see food go to waste, so if there is any left that I think will go bad, then I just buckle down and eat it all.

    Friends, family, and coworkers have always remarked not just upon how much food I can consume in any given meal, but also upon the speed that I eat it. I can literally pound down a pound and a half of food in just a few minutes.

    I will admit that I usually only eat two full meals in a given day (with a few snacks in between), so most of my meals seem to be ginormous compared to the average person.

      Joe, you could always, I don't know, try cooking for five people plus irregular guests and always plan every dish quantity so none ever gets wasted.

      Or, you might non rompere i coglioni.

Libertarians, My Libertarians!

Cruel to be kind means that I love you . Because, while I think you are mistaken, your hearts are in the right place -- yes, even you, Silas --  unlike some people . This Breitbart fellow (discussed in the link above), by all appearances, deliberately doctored a video of Shirley Sherrod to make her remarks appear virulently racist, when they had, in fact, the opposite import. I heard that at a recent Austrian conference, some folks were talking about "Callahan's conservative turn." While that description is not entirely inaccurate, I must say that a lot of these people who today call themselves conservative give me the heebie-jeebies.

"Pre-Galilean" Foolishness

By -
 I am currently reading The Master and His Emissary , which appears to be an excellent book. ("Appears" because I don't know the neuroscience literature well enough to say for sure, yet.) But then on page 186 I find: "Asking cognition, however, to give a perspective on the relationship between cognition and affect is like asking astronomer in the pre-Galilean geocentric world, whether, in his opinion, the sun moves round the earth of the earth around the sun. To ask a question alone would be enough to label one as mad." OK, this is garbage. First of all, it should be pre-Copernican, not pre-Galilean. But much worse is that people have seriously been considering heliocentrism for many centuries before Copernicus. Aristarchus had proposed a heliocentric model in the 4th-century BC. It had generally been considered wrong, but not "mad." (And wrong for scientific reasons: Why, for instance, did we not observe stellar parallax?) And when Copernicus propose...
