Transport is issue #1, dwarfing supply, cost, and waste.

It's irresponsible to shoot them anywhere near the head. BSE prions only exist in CNS tissues. By shooting them in the head you run a risk of contaminating the rest of the animal.

Proper slaughter involves using a non-penetrating stunner to daze the animal, at which point you haul it up on it's rear legs and sever the cranial arteries.

Any other method is either more cruel, or risky.

There's just something disturbing about "cricket flour."

I suggest you go look up what a prion is and correct your incorrect assumptions. Mad Cow does not exist because of cows eating meat, only from cows eating cows!

I read somewhere that the primary problem in solving world hunger wasn't cost or supply, but transport.

It's bad enough they are arthropods but they are also bottom feeders.

I have absolutely no idea why people find them appealing.

Why would they have meat in the abdomen? There's nothing in there that requires musculature. Hell some arthropods (namely spiders) don't even -have- musculature, they use hydraulic pressure!

The muscles would primarily be in the thorax where the legs and wings join, in the legs, and in the head (to support the mandibles)

Because insects/spiders are more biological automatons than reasoning/feeling things. You can argue that animals can feel, but the critters we're considering simply don't have the physical wiring to support it.

Is your objection that they are bugs, or that when you think of it, you envision yourself chowing down on raw (or perhaps prepared-but-still-whole) insects?

I'd argue that ground beef doesn't look very much like a cow...

I'd be happy to give NASA a few extra $$ every year for them to "waste" - they don't get enough as it is.

They also said "like you'd take to the gym" as a way of explaining pints, and used cubic feet.

In other words drinking water was the most "understandable" part of it for the audience it was written for, and oxygen and fuel would have just drawn blank stares.

I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.

What does any of this have to do with servers though? These concerns should be the last thing on your list of factors to consider, when talking about servers.

So why haven't they erected a barricade and a "road closed" sign? Hell a "your map is 100 years out of date" sign under that would be hilarious.

I've tried to find some auto parts places before, and Google Maps didn't differentiate the local warehouses from actual places of business.

Fortunately I was intelligent enough to realize that what looks like a warehouse and doesn't have much parking (and tons of truck docks) was in fact a warehouse, and not your local NAPA parts store...
