I never said you couldn't like it. I'm making an observation that something that was once considered only good enough for the poor, is today considered only good enough for the rich |

my gf's dad was telling me that in hamburg up till a a couple hundred years (? karl pilkingtoning on the timeframe if we're being honest) ago, salmon was poor people food and it was written into houseservants' and the like's contracts that their meals wouldn't be salmon more than twice a week. same deal I guess. Fucking love me some salmon. Don't even really like other fish. | |

no, you did not simply make this observation, you at the very least alluded to the idea that liking lobster makes one a brainwashed sheep. Furthermore, your observation is just wrong. Go to Maine, or any major lobster fishery and check out who is eating lobster, and how accessible it is for the everyday man. It may not be so cheap that it can be fed to prisoners in Maine, but that is only because it is technologically and logistically possible to transport it inland now. Before the advent of modern refrigeration (so that stills could be flash frozen before they started to decompose-- lobster being one of the fastest meats to decompose) and air freight (which allows live fresh lobsters to be flown into the desert) it wasn't a rich or poor food anywhere but within a very close radius to a lobster fishery-- it wasn't, because it wasn't technologically or logistically possible to transport lobster great distances before it spoiled. Now with the import/exporting of lobster possible, the fisheries are being over-fished-- coupled with the over-fishing the logistics are not cheap either. So we can see why lobster, in most places in the world, is something that only the well-to-do can afford on a regular basis. | |

My family has a long history in Maryland with my uncle a crabber for something like 30 years. So I'm gonna have to say that crab > lobster. Let the fools have their tails, more blue crab for me. | |

Pretty much I think you are just being pitifully opposed to rich values simply because they are valued by the rich. | |

Not because they're valued by the rich, but because they're not valued well. |

Ok, well we are walking on some firmer ground now. If this was the point you were trying to make, I think you did a very very poor job of making it. However, I tend to agree that "the life" is not the life I want. I do not want a million dollar McMansion, and I certainly don't want a country club social life. I would like to accrue more wealth though, as more wealth is (probably should say 'can be') a liberating asset. I think what is most important in the pursuit of more wealth is the consideration that the appearance of more wealth should not become the goal. People easily get caught up in chasing this empty goal, which lands people, people who are raking in several hundred grand a year, in debt up to their ears because they are doing their best to keep up with their neighbors who are similarly in debt up to their ears. When this happens you are obviously not attaining more wealth, you are building your own prison. | |

Can anyone think of an example of a perfect circle (or sphere) in nature? I'll send a dollar of ps money to anyone who can give me a definite example. | |

Best I can come up with is wave propagation, but even then, a wave's shape is determined by the medium is propagates through. On the molecular level, it won't be a circle. | |

Stems of plants have crosssections that can be circular. Sunflower centers are circular. Weeds rooted in the ground but blowing around and leaving a trail in sand or something could leave a circular track. | |

How would you demonstrate that anything is a perfect circle/sphere? The best you can do is say it is within some fine measure but you could never demonstrate it to be perfect as you can in geometry. Even constructing a circle under the procedures of geometry won't yield a perfect circle, just something so close as makes no odds. | |

You can't. If you measure a circle and conclude it is perfect, then you just made pi a rational number. | |

well nothing to do with rational or irrational is it? it is just as impossible to prove that anything in the physical world is a perfect square. I think it was Kant who came up with the notion that such abstract ideas can only exist in what he called the realm of ideas. | |

Sad but true, these are the reasonably drinkable lagers available in britain that are also widely available. That's right, Italian beer is actually one of the top picks. Sad times. | |

I have come 360 as far as beer goes. In high school, we would drink whatever we could get our under-aged hands on. I remember crushing a luke warm 30 rack of Red Dogg with a few friends on more than one occasion. At some point in high school, we started to drink mid-grades.. St Pauli Girl, Heineken, etc. Then I got into micro brews, IPAs etc. The more bitter, the better. I would go to a good liquor store and buy something I had never had before every time I went. But now, I have to be honest, I just want to drink something with bubbles and a bit of alcohol in it. I don't drink Red Dog, so maybe not full circle.. but I often will just order a Coors Light or whatever. *shrug* | |
