    Restaurant Steak?

    Aren't you following Keto...? Either way, it takes a great Chef to get the fat on Kobe or any A5 Wagyu just right without overcooking the meat in the process. When done right, the streaks of marbling will be as soft as Foie Gras inside the meat. I Tip: When you're at an ultra high-end...

    Restaurant Steak?

    Hah. Good luck with that. I generally order my steak rare at Ruth's Chris, and ALWAYS ask for it be served it on a cold plate. They have never actually done that. So I now have a ritual where I order my steak and cold plate, but then I also sit ready with the bread side-plate. As soon as the...

    Restaurant Steak?

    Only fatty steaks like ribeye or well marbled Wagyu should be medium rare. Lean steaks like filet or sirloin are actually even better as rare/blue. The cow did a great job on the meat - it doesn't require cooking. Fat on the other hand needs a bit of help.

    Restaurant Steak?

    Custom cooked or off the sword? If it's custom cooked then sure. Off the sword you inevitably get overdone steak. It's a gimmick.

    Restaurant Steak?

    The best steaks you can get come from Kuroge Washu. Especially Miyazaki and Sanuki. Think Kobe, but better. They are definitely worth the premium. Taste absolutely nothing like other steak. However, no steakhouse chain that I know off serves those - I always found them in local one-off...

    If you like value, yes. If you like steak, no.

    Warning to those with credit cards

    I think the relevant part is "at your expense". There is a difference between a business that's upfront in their pricing, and one that obfuscates their pricing by withholding details, playing into assumptions, or making the structure overly complicated. Though all business exist to make money...

    Did you catch it ?

    There will be a percentage of people who are IgG positive that will still be dieing. If it was just important to be alive on the day of the test then you can compare it but most people will find it important to be alive 2 weeks later as well. Reduction ad absurdum: Infect everybody at the same...

    magic drugs against covid-19?

    Reduces fatalities by 30% as well. Am I getting this right? (Dropped from 11.6% to 8% in the study).

    Did you catch it ?

    Indeed good news. Not a complete game changer, but will make a difference in 10's of thousands of people's lives. Based on the report, the mortality rate of remdesivir treated patients were 8.0% vs 11.6% on the placebo. So if the remdesivir study pans out, this reduces the IFR from 0.87% (see...

    Did you catch it ?

    Actually, IFR based on the recent serology study in New York is around 0.87%. Reasoning: IgG takes on average 10 days to develop since infection and be measurable. Medium time to death since infection is 20 days. So there's about 10 days of measurable IgG cases that are still at risk of death...

    Impending, possible meat shortages

    I think the difference though is that meat has always had variable pricing that changes almost daily, where toilet paper has fixed pricing. When meat gets scare prices will double, triple or more, until supply and demand is in balance. The higher prices should discourage a hoarding-induced...

    magic drugs against covid-19?

    The only African country that has done significant testing is South Africa and they have pretty much the strictest lockdown on the planet that I know of outside of the original China lockdown: 1) They are under effective Marshal Law complete with an 8p to 5a curfue with the full military force...

    Oh! You had a 3-wire circuit. Ok, yeah, that's very dangerous. I thought you had a 4-wire circuit.

    Out of curiosity, what's the reason it's dangerous? Back-EMF from the motor?

    That would be like having a designated peeing area in a swimming pool.
