If you look up sausages around the world, most regions are covered. Historically, from a survival perspective, you didn’t want to throw away any meat, and grinding up less palatable parts is an easy way to do that. Often, that led to sausages, but American Aboriginals often went with pemmican, Scots did haggis, and I’m sure there were other ways in other regions. The only regions I haven’t seen without a historical sausage is Africa, but the Roman Empire had chopped meat dishes, so the idea may have been exported thousands of years ago even if it didn’t spontaneously originate there.

I’m pretty sure that translates in any culture that eats meat and has gone to war. There might have been an isolated village of vegetarians sometime in history who would have been confused.

8600 from 4 dealerships in 3 days, or 12 dealership-days. So, about 700 per dealership per day on average. The 1200 in one day is likely the max, which is typical for these kind of statements.

Yes, keep on reminding people how much better Canada is. And, unlike oil, this kind of better can’t be exported by invading.

I’m not sure of the availability guarantees, but Oracle and other cloud services have free tiers for low CPU/RAM/storage needs. If the availability guarantees are there, this could be an option. It works fine for FoundryVTT and hasn’t cost me anything for the last couple years, and I don’t imagine your projected needs would outstrip Foundry’s.

Took me three tries to figure out what was happening, then I was sad.

Ah, so you’re edit in the original post was justified because they started it. Is that how morality works? They started the mud slinging, so it’s okay now?

I did read your posts, and commented on others, and I agree with your stance. I’m pretty sure JFK did, to. It’s basically the corollary of, “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution impossible.” So what peaceful solution do you propose to solve the healthcare problem in America given the state of your government for the last number of decades, and is it really a peaceful revolution if thousands are administratively killed in the process? And is that better or worse than killing a few people in the streets who have amassed obscene levels of wealth by promoting those deaths to make that happen a little faster, whether that be due to legislation or sudden policy reversals due to newfound altruism?

There are no easy answers in morality. This is why philosophers have written so many books about it.

You keep acting like I said the majority think something so they must be right. Yes, I think if you were living in those examples that you should take a good look at why you believe differently than the majority and be able to defend it. No, I don’t think, even in those situations, spouting off on people disagreeing with you without giving an adequate defense of your position and merely that they’re hating because of your differing position is useful and is going to convince someone of your stance.

And I didn’t say it did. But when a bunch of people say you’re doing something shitty, it isn’t a bad idea to take a few moments and ask, “Am I?” And coming back at them for saying it is never a good look, even if you’re right.

How is pointing out that Healthcare United had the highest claim rejection rate in America, known for its profit-based healthcare system, political assassination? “They’re making me look bad by pointing out the things I say, do, and believe!”

No. I downvoted because I believe you’re wrong. I said if you get piles of downvotes, maybe you should engage in some self-reflection, because maybe you’re wrong. I never said you’re wrong, and this is one of those areas that isn’t black and white, so assigning right and wrong is only reasonable to leave as a personal choice. That said, I also think it’s very wrong to put forward your opinion and then be offended when others do the same, whether it be through comments or up/downvotes.

I rarely downvote, and even more rarely downvote and comment, but I can assure you that downvote was wholly organic. Perhaps if you feel like you’re brigade all the time, you should engage in some self-reflection.

A common fault is to believe only those who can do have the vision to see what should be done. Sometimes they’re even right. You can hear complaints of shortcomings or you can hear suggestions for how to improve a product. And, especially in a volunteer role, you can choose if you want to do it or not.

And? I want more than my parents had. I want my kids to have more than me. How do you think that is going to happen?

She could be Canadian. Keep your wits about you and watch for signs…

Pretty sure there was a TV in every home and they were surveillance devices

I had a teacher tell me women couldn’t get hemophilia because it’s a sex-linked gene. True enough, but it’s on the X chromosome, and what do you suppose happens if a woman has that gene on both of them… I lost points on a test because of that.

This was before the internet, so I couldn’t easily find answers to prove he was wrong.

Then get out of technology and start reading posts in buy it for life.

In my lifetime, about the only rechargeable battery the average person had in their home was the one in their car. Now we’ve added 4 new major battery chemistries to the commercial space, some with multiple variants within them and all with improvements throughout their lifetimes. This is what science and technology looks like. The results you’re looking for would be magic or wishful thinking.

My work was using some MS-based account system, but I don’t know if this was stock or something they modified. When you had to change your password, it would tell you if your new password didn’t meet the password requirements, as usual. What it wouldn’t tell you was what those requirements were…

So yeah, the requirements the system won’t tell you about would have to be the worst one i came across…
