Yeah, but it has a coefficient of performance of 1. Heat pumps pull in heat from outside and can have coefficients of performance over 3 averaged over the seasons. So a toaster is less than a third as effective as heat pumps.

Radioactive decay is not the only way to make lead, and lead is produced in much greater abundance than uranium.

The part that's missing in the post is in looking specifically at uranium deposits and making assumptions about the initial composition of the deposits, since the crystalline structure excludes lead when the crystals form. So if you detect lead contained within zircon, it is assumed to be the product of radioactive decay.

Is there a directory of comunities compiled somewhere? I'm not sure how I would go about figuring out the best place to post something if I wasn't already familiar with a relevant community.

When using butter as a spread it's nice to have some salt incorporated. A salt shaker is very easy to overdo on something light like toast or pancakes.

If they are wholly owned by Cigna, doesn't it seem like they're not necessarily just middle men, but more like designated patsies? Why wouldn't Cigna do this in house, unless they are trying to limit their exposure to liability when this blows up?

Don't try to force things or you'll end up in Spain.

Similar to your third option, cut kielbasa into ⅓" slices. Brown in generous amounts of butter. Remove from pan and brown a similar volume lf sweet onions. Add in sliced cabbage about half way through and adjust your heat to keep everything browning. Stir as needed, but not continuously; leave stuff still long enough to sear, but not burn. Get the egg noodles going. When the cabbage has cooked down enough to be tender add the kielbasa back in and turn down the heat. Season with salt and peper, and a couple splashes lf balsamic vinegar. Be conservative with the balsamic, but it will really make the seared kielbasa pop if you get it right. Then serve with the wide egg noodles when they finish cooking. The wide egg noodles should look more like a wide fettucini, not the short curly noodles that many stores carry.

Isn't that just a crappier version of bulimia?

They were on entirely different planes.

It's all in whether management lets the engineers make a good product or pushes for cost reduction above all else. American made Toyotas are just fine.

A similar thing is true with Chinese made goods. Companies that care enough to implement proper process and quality controls can have perfectly adequate quality come out of Chinese factories. It's just that the companies that were quickest to export production cared more about minimizing every last cost than about quality.

The old mechanics are present, but there's a lot of new mechanics. There's also actual character dialog and story. If you liked the first at all, I think you'll like the second. It adds a lot more than just pretty graphics.
