Reply to comment by Nwcray in TIL the New York Times, in 1944, Introduced Readers to an Exciting New Food: Pizza by FatherWinter
The modern broiler chicken was only bred in the late 1940s. Undoubtedly, the breeds that create it mated many times in the past, but the farmers thought it was a useless defective monster. Chickens used to be expected to forage around the barnyard, and cornish cross broiler chickens aren't capable of it. They need to be kept in a highly regulated environment, they're constantly hungry and incredibly lazy. They reach maturity in 60-90 days and die of heart failure around one year.
Traditional chickens have about half the meat of a modern broiler. Roosters don't produce eggs, and they to destroy each other through combat, but testosterone makes the meat tough, so they would only be used for slow cooked stew. The really desirable meat was capon, produced from a castrated male chicken, but the testes are internal and the procedure had a high fatality rate.

I have never read a 'two kinds of people' adage that was more untrue.

That’s the whole point of the license - it isn’t public property. It is owned by one entity and licensed to others, based on their proposed use of it.
The flag of a country is, generally, public property.

Reply to comment by JMiLk21 in TIL the musician and songwriter D'Angelo not only recorded a song, "Unshaken", for Red Dead Redemption 2, he also served as a playtester during the videogame's development due to his love of the series by grizzburger
What a powerful game. It seriously ruined my expectations for games, as it feels like nothing comes even close. The characters, the story, the living world where you are but on single part of it. I have a hard time not calling RDR2 the best game, ever.

Yes - I grew up in the rural South in the 1960s. Beef, pork, chicken, and garden produce was the standard fare. I never had pizza or any other ethnic food until I went off to college.

9 years since any new music outside of this one single for a video game. It’s no exaggeration to say that Black Messiah helped change my life, I would do anything for more D’Angelo

Reasonable: having sound judgement; fair and sensible.
To commit your entire belief system to an unjust, malignant, contradictory comsos creator and worship said being multiple times a day to appease its demands is not REASONABLE.
Words have meanings. You are being either intentionally ignorant or perhaps lack the critical thinking skills necessary to understand this concept.

So Muslims in the future will be taught to pray 5 times a day facing the planet that Mohammed was born on.

Voodoo is not really hip hop. And D’Angelo isn’t a rapper. It’s Neo-Soul which was a very distinct genre that he and Erykah Badu helped invent. Couldn’t imagine someone comparing Badu to rappers or something

I think you're thinking of hamburgers. New Haven doesn't typically claim to have invented pizza, only perfected it.

Reasonable: having sound judgement; fair and sensible.
To commit your entire belief system to an unfounded, contradictory, evil cosmos Creater and to also pray multiple times a day to appease its demand of worship is not reasonable.
You are being intentionally ignorant or perhaps lack critical thinking skills necessarily to understand definitions of words.

One of those things you see and don’t think about. I figured they were airplane related, but the technical system is pretty cool!
