Having worked in restaurants for years and been to multiple health and safety classes in multiple states, I call bullshit.

Washing chicken spreads bacteria all over everything wherever it's done: the walls, floor, ceiling. Do you sanitize the ceiling after you do this?

I've not met a single "boomer" that does this.

I know not a single American that does this.

I've only heard of it from elsewhere.

I really don't like Gordon, but I'm full on with him in this case. It deserves his "Fucking hell!"

(cough cough) Note their name - "gullible"

They got me too until I read their next comment. Haha

Yea, there was a short series a few years ago with a cute blonde (hey, she gets guys to watch).

She visited a lab and demonstrated very clearly why washing chicken is a bad idea.

And how much difference soap makes when washing your hands, especially after handling something like chicken.

She also covered a bunch of chemical uage from the Victorian era.

Wish I could remember the show name for you.

Hahaha, so he does!

Please tell me you write opinion pieces for a living, and where I can find them.

Except decaffeinating coffee really messes it up.

You'd be surprised how hard it is to find manuals these days.

Manufacturers have taken to:

  1. Not printing them at all

  2. Hiding them behind paywalls with exorbitant prices

I've never met an engine that doesn't need valve adjustments, even with hydraulic lifters.

Now the adjustment period is far longer today, like in the 100k miles range.

Just be glad you rarely see shim/bucket adjustment these days. Boy was that a bitch.

Very good point about Agile.

As an end-user (that is, the IT staff that will be deploying/managing things), I prefer less-frequent releases. I'd love to see 1 or 2 releases a year for all software (pipe dream, I know). Once you have a handful of packages, you end up with constant change to manage.

I suspect what we end up with is early adopters embracing the frequent releases, and providing feedback/error reporting, while people like me benefit from them while choosing to upgrade less frequently.

There are about 3 apps that I'm a beta tester for, so even I'm part of that early-adopter group.

Interesting stuff how the mechanics of different gun designs comes into play, and how out-gassing control is a consideration relative to use-case.

Thanks for the info - while I'm great with mechanical stuff, I only have a basic understanding of gun mechanics (which is amazing, like so much engineering with 19th century and earlier origins).
