Eggs are refrigerated in the US because the USDA requires that they be prepared with a washing process to prevent salmonella contamination. A side effect of that process is that the eggs aren't as well preserved without refrigeration because a very thin membrane on the outside of the shell is removed when washed. Some European countries vaccinate their chickens instead, which accomplishes the same thing without the need for refrigeration. Whether one or the other is somehow superior on hygienic or moral grounds isn't a rational question. We use two different approaches to achieve the same thing.

Egg fight!
Whoever I hit will enjoy the cool, refreshing sensation of being covered in chilled eggs.

Happy Thanksgiving to our American brethren and sisterererererereren. And Ender.
I shall refrain from calling you tea-spoiling anti-monarchists for today, and won't comment about your fakon, unless you put it on your turkey then post a picture.
Have a great day friends o7

Is that an image from the new Half Life game, looks familiar
Given that I'm not a fan of the flying experience in NMS, I'll pass.
Here's a cat:
I've sent the image to Sean Murray, so, fingers-crossed for space-cats...

Everyone.
You are being given a fair amount of leeway in this thread.
DO NOT ABUSE IT.

Thanks Ian, I think in our hearts we (hopefully all) probably know we've been sailing close to the wind recently and we do appreciate the 'elbow-room' (e.) that we've been allowed.
As an aside, here's a spaceship I think would be great - can you kindly forward to The Lord Brebus - he seems to have blocked my entreaties...
(I'm pretty sure it should be a Gutamaya design and it's definitely not a cut away laundry bottle... if he questions it, just say it's from Tj...)

Can I have some beeway instead?
How was the movie, Drinky?Can I have some beeway instead?
Let's hope we don't get the highway...Can I have some beeway instead?
It was okay. They played it pretty safe and and the story is basically "30 years after Ghostbusters and young people find the original crew's story and stuff and do it all over again", but I think they did that reasonably well. I would've appreciated a little more originality though.
Made me laugh - and fortunately no coffee or keyboards were harmed in the process! o7
