It may work for some/most fish but not all.
Buy a piece of actual wild salmon and a piece of farmed. Just looking at it you will see WAY more fat in the farmed variety. Salmon is already very fatty and the farmed variety is .... almost nasty (does depend on time of year).

Now making something where the quality matters. Sushi with farmed salmon is .... interesting.

The problem is not cause by some label or eating wild animals. Endless greed of corporations and the new status symbol of "daily evening dinner with meat" may be the root.

... it's pointless trying to force the egg company to campaign against itself via mandatory labelling.

Where do you shop? I have the choice between BIO, free range, caged and eggs from torturted hens.

I am glad to see that manufactures have started to put labels on their products telling me where their eggs come from. I am avoiding products that will not tell me and spend a bit more for products that do.

GMO is similar. While the practice may not be bad, the business model of those companies is. I want the products label as not to support endless greed disguised as the act of attempting to feed the world.

Again what is the big deal with the wheel click?

In X, highlight to copy text and click the wheel to paste .... done.
You need to practice this for 3 minutes to ensure that you don't scroll the wheel while clicking.

To the OP.
A wheel with click offers more functionality then a mouse without a wheel. Not sure what you work on all day but I scroll most of the time and only wheel click .... maybe 30 times a day.
Using a Logitech B110 here, cheap as fuck but works well.

Sadly, though, not all carriers offer to disable voice-mail.

I have the same problem. My provider keeps torturing the shit out of me when I look at other service offerings. Wish there was something I could do to improve my service ... maybe I need to come up with a new word or action.

How about "switch" .... sounds interesting.

What's the polite way to continue?

I know this is a very tough problem but you could prevent this by turning the feature off.
This is one of the first things I do when I get a new phone or switch providers.

Voice mail off and caller ID on, done.

Comment Hope it works better then my wallet (Score 5, Interesting) 110

Paid extra for an RFID blocking wallet. Tested it out the next time I had to pay for lunch with my RFID card.
Placed wallet on reader, card is somewhere in the middle, beeep, thanks for you payment - fuck.

My wallet is a "Protact" with the A written like a German AE. 100% rip off, hope these pants are better.

Your body would thank you for it!
Eat one every now and then instead of one every day. You spend the same but will value "the one" much more.
The better ingredients also make for a better product which in turn improve your experience even more.

I still remember Hershey from my time in the USA. I wouldn't call it chocolate ....
