Not always. If you want to give a grilled steak a beautiful dark-brown color, rub a little bit of unsweetened coco powder on it before you cook it. It also adds depth to the flavor. It also goes well in chili in small quantities.

If all that you write is true, there's only one question left to ask: why do you continue to use it?

I've not seen the film, but as it happens, I've read the non-fiction book it was based on. If you want to know more about the battle, you might consider doing the same. It's a gripping read largely because it doesn't demonize either side but shows their humanity.

How many Russian troops would storm Stalingrad if not for the _Russian_ machine guns aimed at their backs?

You do understand, don't you, that for the first six months of the Battle of Stalingrad, the Germans were attacking the city and the Soviets were desperately hanging on while slowly being pushed back against the Volga? And, for most of the last three months, the surrounded Germans were being besieged and starved out. Yes, there have been times that Soviet security forces have forced the front line troops into combat, but this wasn't one of them.

Considering that the ransom-ware in question is Windows-specific, using a Mac (or a PC running Linux/BSD) is all it takes to keep you safe.

(But, to use the article's term, "broken".)

What makes you think that the term "broken English" was invented by whoever wrote that article? It's been around long enough that Shakespeare used it.

The whole idea of having to store the spent fuel rods for 100,000 years is based on conflating the concepts of "long-term radioactive" and "highly radioactive." With the obvious exception of Uranium, the two concepts are inversely proportional: the longer the half-life, the lower the radiation and the more radioactive it is, the shorter the half-life. The isotopes that remain radioactive that long aren't very dangerous because they break down very slowly, and the ones that are the most radioactive don't last very long. And, of course, Uranium is an exception because it goes through several different reactions before becoming stable and non-radioactive so that even though it breaks down slowly, each breakdown results in a cascade of radiation.

The Free Parking jackpot is a common "house rule," that applies because all the players agree to it. The bit about four houses is written into the rules and if it's ignored, it's usually because nobody is aware of how it's written. Once you show them the written rule and have them read it, most people will agree that what you're doing is legal. Of course, they might make up a house rule for the future changing it, but that's their privilege.

That's true if, and only if nobody's willing to trade. If you know which properties are landed on the most often and which groups have the best return on investment when that's taken into account (Hint: it's not Boardwalk/Park Place.) you can often swap high rent properties that aren't landed on very often for lower rent locations that people land on frequently and nickel-and-dime your opponents to death because it doesn't cost as much to build them up.

And, of course, there's always the strategy of the artificial housing shortage. The cost of a hotel is the cost of a house plus four houses. That is, you can't go from three houses to a hotel if there aren't any houses to buy. And, as you can't have more than a one house difference in a set of properties, if you have (let's say) three houses on all of the Greens and there's only one house left, you can't upgrade any of them to a hotel. Smart players know the rules, and use them to their advantage.

No, Mr. Anonymous Fool, I demonstrated that not all galaxies are billions of light years away as the OP seems to think. Reading for comprehension; what a concept, and such a shame that you don't understand it.

So what you're saying is that all galaxies are precisely as far away as the Andromeda galaxy? Yeah no.

Stop putting words in my mouth, asshole. There are galaxies at all sorts of distances. I picked the Andromeda Galaxy as an example because I happen to know how far away it is. My point is, for the clue-impaired, that it doesn't take billions of years for light to get here from another galaxy unless that galaxy is billions of light years away, and there are a lot of them much closer. I suppose you also think that it takes billions of years for light to reach us from the Sagitarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy, even though it's only 70,000 light-years away.

Don't be silly. Not only did I eat a very well-balanced diet aboard ship, I didn't develop Type II for almost 30 years after I was discharged.

It's commonly accepted that the most distant galaxies we can currently see are up to about 14 billion light years away...

Yes, I know. However, the claim you quote doesn't refer to the most distant galaxy, but to "a different galaxy," which is both quite different and clearly incorrect as I explained.

Space is so big that BILLIONS of years will pass before we even see the light shining from a sun in a different galaxy.

No. The time it takes for light to reach us from another star is exactly equal to the distance from here to the star measured in light years. (Remember, a light year is the distance light travels in one year.) As an example, the Andromeda Galaxy is 2.5 million light years away, so we're seeing it by light that started its journey here 2.5 million years ago, not billions of years as you so ignorantly state. Please learn something about what you're talking about before you make a fool of yourself. Again.

Damned if I know. I was overweight at the time, but not spectacularly. It may have been traces of Agent Orange in debris clouds that my ship steamed through in Tonkin Gulf back in '72 but I never had "boots on the ground" so the VA won't test me for it. And, I'll admit that at this point I have other issues that are more important, including keeping my blood sugar under control without obsessing on it too much.
