Yeah, but they come from the same animal, and one would expect that the more fatty parts would cost less...(it used to be that way BTW; it's only been relatively recently that bacon and sausage cost more than pork chops)...

It works that way with hamburger meat; the higher the fat content, (ground sirloin, versus ground round, versus ground chuck) the lower the price per pound...

The price of bacon is

I didn't realize that.

I Loin something new every day...

[Timster]

Hmmm. It seems that I am the only one

[Joe Guy]

Yep... I guess you are.... although you always have been....

Pork Belly, it's a luxury

Chicken keema, it's a taste sensation.

I hate Windows 8. Or perhaps it's Windows 8.1

Either way, they suck.

I hate Windows 8.

If you start counting all the versions one by one with your fingers, you'll get to the right finger then.

[Lord Jim]

I still have Windows XP on my computers...

(In fact I bought a new one about a year ago and paid extra to have the latest and greatest Windows version replaced with XP)

There's a reason that even 11 years after it was originally introduced, that pretty much all new softwares are still made to be compatible with XP...

Despite all the "upgrades" that have followed it, it remains the best, most reliable, and intuitive Windows platform Microsoft has ever produced...

[Joe Guy]

Vista was terrible and I've heard that 8 is bad, but Windows 7 is very good. You should upgrade to Windows 7 because XP is no longer supported.

I've heard much the same as Joe. I've been been thinking on Updating My Bootcamp Volume to Windows 7

[Lord Jim]

Vista was terrible and I've heard that 8 is bad, but Windows 7 is very good. You should upgrade to Windows 7 because XP is no longer supported.

I've heard the same things as you guys...(not just from articles on the subject, but from friends of mine who have dealt with these platforms)

That Vista was a disaster, 8 is worse than a disaster, but that 7 wasn't so bad...

I might look at upgrading to 7, but I take issue with the claim that XP isn't "supported"...

My experience has been that XP works quite well...

[Crackpot]

XP is in that zone between becoming "no longer supported" and being completely useless.

[Lord Jim]

XP is in that zone between becoming "no longer supported" and being completely useless.

You mean much like you?

ETA:

You walked right in to that one...

I could have sworn I had more beer

I so want to post this to Facebook:

I was out running errands earlier today, and I was so hungry, that I bought a slice of pizza at a 7-11, (they now sell pizza at the 7-11's around here)

and it didn't seem to taste awful...(it wasn't great, but I've had worse...)

[Lord Jim]

Just watched a really interesting documentary, America Before Columbus....it raised a question in my mind...

Why didn't the South American Indians breed bigger llamas? They were the largest domesticated animal they had, and if they had just bred a slightly larger type, they could have used them for transport, to pull plows, etc.

They understood the concept of breeding; they must have known that if they mated the ones that were a little larger with other bigger ones that over a few generations they could develop a larger animal that would be more useful...

Why didn't they do this?

[Joe Guy]

Because back then they used llamas primarily to pull fire trucks and they never had more than a two L llama fire.
