  1. Support your local meat market or butcher. Seriously - when you can see your steaks being cut off a big piece of meat you can be pretty certain it's not mechanically tenderized.

  2. Ah see when I buy cars I walk in and say C-A-S-H. Just put aside anywhere from 20% to 50% of your monthly take home. In the space of a year you'll have anywhere from $15K to $60K. Remember the old saying, good things come to those who wait. And even once you've saved up the money, continue to do so. In five years it becomes $75,000 to $300,000 in the bank. In just FIVE years.

  3. Wait, a condo in that you BOUGHT it, you own it yet the building can put limits on who can use your space? Really?

  4. Oh it is much worse than that. I recall in the mid 1990's I had a For Tempo with attendant remote. One day I go into the lot, hit the button to open the locks and a Lincoln two spots down it's doors unlock too. Hit again to lock, the Lincoln locks too. There are only so many codes and keys I might add, for cars. So once in a while it'll show itself. Had I been less moral I would have been able to enter the Lincoln no problem.

  5. Well - here in the U.S. corporations and the courts have adopted the notion that corporations are equivalent to people. The problem is a corporation has one main objective that is called profit. So they;ll lie through their teeth to us. Be skeptical of everything. And the other thing - the vilification of fat accounts for much of the additional salt and sugar. We did that to ourselves.

  6. I can tell you that the electronics on appliances can be made to be more robust. First use high quality components particularly capacitors. Plus you can also make an electronic circuit waterproof. Just pot it. Oh and one other tip - find your brand of appliance on facebook, twitter whatever. They take that seriously - because you can damage the hell out of a brand on the social web.
