The meat is flavorless, like cardboard. I'd much rather have a homemade
hamburger, with good meat and I've never been able to make a patty that
wasn't thicker than TWO of the fast-food ones.



As far as I'm concerned, they are two very different things:
hamburgers and fast food hamburgers. They are so different that an
example of one shouldn't be compared with an example of the other;
it's almost like comparing fried chicken with lamb chops.

I find a lot of things (including biscuits and ice cream), where the
fast food (and grocery store) versions are very different from the
homemade one.

[snip]

My hamburger recipe:

Sufficient ground meat for the number of patties you want, approx 4oz
per patty.

For every 4 patties add
1 medium whole egg
2 tablespoons oatmeal
Celery and green/red peppers chopped fine to suit (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup)
Dash or two of garlic powder
Dash or two of chili powder
Salt to taste (about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon)
Any other spices? You decide.

Mix it all up, let sit for about 1/2 hour for oatmeal to soak up juices,
form into patties, and broil or barbecue.

Enjoy.

That sounds awesome! The only changes I would make would be to increase
the pre-cooked size of the patties to at least 6 ounces and skip the
egg, oatmeal, celery, green/red peppers, garlic powder, chili powder,
and salt. Those things turn a hamburger into a small meatloaf.


LOL! A good way to put it!

No, he said "double double", so the double is doubled.

It's about how you order coffee at Timmie's. So it's different where you

If I ordered coffee I tell them WHAT I wanted doubled, as I don't want

Actually requiring potential victims to move away is denying their right

unwilling people's lungs.

Think of it this way: smokers are happy to sit with other smokers, and with non-smokers. But non-smokers will only sit with other non-smokers. That makes them bigots.

I'm been a non-smoker for the last 40 years or so. Even now, if I am
with a smoker I get pleasure from the fumes. It's because Nicotine
addiction does not go away.



My experience is very different from yours. I've been a non-smoker for
49 years, having smoked two packs a day for the previous ten years or
so. For the first five years after stopping, I loved to smell other
people smoking. But that pleasure vanished long ago; I now hate the
smell of cigarette smoke. My addiction is long gone.

Here's a funny story though.

I was in line at a convenience store, and at the register, asked the clerk
for a carton of cigarettes.
A voice behinds me says "You really shouldn't smoke".
So I turn around, see this beast of a woman in a pale blue scrub uniform,
and say "yeah, I know".
I turn back towards the register, and once again Ms. Sumo opens her
sandwich cave and says to the back of my head "I'm a nurse, and I see the
effects of smoking on people all the time".
So I turn back and say "Last I heard, being 150 pounds over-weight wasn't
too good for you neither."


LOL! Good reply!


Some non-smokers should just shut the hell up.


My wife's sister, who was a heavy smoker, died of lung cancer at the
age of 49, about 30 years ago. For the next few years, my wife would
go around seeing people smoking and telling them they should stop.

Fortunately she doesn't do that any more.

That's true mathematically, but people often use the words for two
separate doublings (no quadrupling).

They shouldn't.

The same way I used to know someone
who had a house with 1 and 2 halves bathrooms. It was ONE full bathroom
and TWO half bathrooms. Definitely not two wholes (if you think its 2
wholes, show me that nonexistent second bathtub).

That's not the same. "One and two halves" clearly shows there are 3 objects of two different sizes. A mathematician wouldn't try to add them together, any more than he'd try to add x to y. I could have one and two halves apples, meaning that an apple had ben sliced in half and would go off quicker. But a double double doesn't differentiate between one double and another.

There are many cases where you can do arithmetic on numbers, but that
doesn't make sense with the actual things. For example, two mechanics
work at the same garage. One has 20 years of experience. The other has
30 years. NO ONE had 50 years of experience. 20 + 30 = 50 makes sense
mathematically, but has nothing to do with reality.

Except many companies will say "we have 50 years of experience", or at least "50 years of combined experience" or similar. And it does make sense. 20 + 30 does equal 50 years of experience. Those two mechanics have probably learned as much as one working for 50 years.

Odd, I've never been a smoker but I've always enjoyed the smell of it. However when I do smoke a cigarette because someone offers me one, I get no kick from it alt all. There seems to be no point to it whatsoever. If you want to feel happy, drink alcohol.
