It's not difficult normalize the capsaicin content in the process of extraction, therefore there is nothing inherently inferior about taking this direction. Most herbal extracts specified that the active parts are normalized to X% +- a bit. Green tea extract would be a good example.

You could perhaps argue that synthesis is cheaper or whatnot, but you must compare the abundant farmland and no shortage of people to grow them vs having an insdustrial plant and appropriately trained personnel, and so forth.

Cheaper, possibly less infrastructure needed (in terms of refining capacity, etc)

Also sends some wealth out to the farming areas where these are grown.

I was really sad to find out that my apt doesn't get enough sun to grow these :( They are really tasty.

Murderous Marmot

I guess I have the panties of perplexity.

Teatimer's nice, and I've used it to good effect on various machines, but it seems to kill startup performance and eat a ton of memory. Have you seen similar?

well because hurf durf if they cared they wouldn't use windows!

I really like the look of those things; just wish they didn't bypass some of the iPod's functionality (EQ and possibly "sound check" iirc)

Not that I blame DICE for this, i think it's just how the ipod is made.

Sortof. The the "richer" people are largely still just middle class and many are barely getting by as it is; now they are being locked into insurance, and due to other nuances of the bill (raising coverage age for "children", ban on pre existing conditions, etc) premiums will almost certainly head for the clouds.

Being funded out of paychecks doesn't mean it still can't expend more than it takes in.

(Salon blocked at work, will be quite interested to read the article when I get home)

I had guessed it was something like this, thanks.

The hate and racism isn't a particularly new turn for that demographic though.

OR MAYBE they've been at it all along :tinfoilhat:

People who oppose things "cause it's socialist!" really hate to be directed to all those things.

Have you seen the photo of a "keep the government out of my medicaid" sign floating around?

btw, don't some HSA type accounts not have the "use it or lose it" clause?
