Oh no, no no. It’s seared on the outside and barely warm on the inside. Super raw. Basically you cook the outside just enough to kill pathogens and then get all the inside raw bloody and delicious.

So I am a proponent of delicious barely cooked meat, but only in steaks and other “whole meats”. Ground meat has a HUGE surface area that contacts machinery so it gets cooked all the way through, always.

Absolutely. One could argue that the restaurant went out of its way to provide a customer food request, but many restaurants refuse to cook ground beef at anything below well-done.

Personally, as a Canadian, I would never eat anything less than that for a hamburger, but I cook my steaks near blue at home.

Title feels a bit click-baity, but truly I think the waiver is reasonable. If you want food prepared outside our food safety standards and laws, you should have to waive the right to sue if you get yourself sick and die. Whether it will actually hold in court is contestable.

100%. Exploitation is not limited to one continent or group of people.

Absolutely, the comic was from a piece on Imperialism from Europe in Africa, but a more comprehensive one would show the entire global south dug up.

I would argue that of the three items you listed (bananas, coffee, chocolate) that the main reason those items are “cheap” is exploitation of the workers and economies of the global south.

This is just one popular science article on the topic, and it just brushes the surface of how colonial politics have stripped the global south of resources while simultaneously building capital in the global north.

This single pane comic is the jist of it. A map of the world with Africa excavated and gold piled atop Europe and North America.

Is the exam exclusively on paper or is there a verbal option? Paper exams can be stressful for anyone, so if you find that explaining things to a person much easier, perhaps you can ask for an accommodation to take the exam with a proctor verbally rather than written. Good luck!

Nah, this is sleezy. She will catch on and it will only amplify her fears that she has to be thin to be attractive. Ask of tho so what she wants to do first?

This is a ELI5 response with a high school understanding of human biology. Hangovers are from alcohol poisoning (variable levels), and this poison is detoxified by your liver. The waste is either sent to the kidneys to be processed as urine or to the bowels. Your kidneys require water and minerals to process this waste, and water is the vehicle for excreting waste through urine. When you drink all water and no vitamins/minerals, you risk depleting your supply of those essential elements. So, assuming your water has an appropriate balance of those things, I would think that water with electrolytes or minerals is better than plain water at helping your body process and detoxify alcohol.

Tl;Dr: water with balanced electrolytes/minerals > plain water for hangovers.
