Solution; slice the slices yourself. Buy the piece you like and slice to desired thickness. Buying pre-sliced you're paying a union worker who is indifferent in his slicing. Do it yourself. A good knife is an investment. Buying the bigger unsliced pieces gives you more control over choice.
 
Of course I could I could be wrong, as I have no idea what you're talking about. Sliced chicken?

If you want tender, you want more fat. So buy fat slices rather than
thin slices.

Not a valid comparison. Would you, in 2017, want to drive a car, or live in a house built to 1917 standards using only materials and technology available in 1917? I wouldn't. Bottom line, houses and cars built today are so much better in every respect.
 
Same thing for the food. Until the author compares the cost to produce, market, and transport those things it doesn't hold water.
 
A better comparison would be the relative profit margins on those things. But that probably wouldn't fit the author's agenda. So...

>Number 7 is pretty chilling - I might not have thought of it! After all, it's not too surprising when a product endorsed by a celeb doesn't do as well as the creator THOUGHT it would - but this is different. I don't think I heard of the Eiffel Tower scam, either. (That was in 1925.)
 
>Btw, the article doesn't mention pigeon drop scams, but I read about that in a YA novel from 2002 - "See You Down the Road." I read about it again in "Tall Tales, Legends and Hoaxes" by Nat Segaloff, which I'm pretty sure is another title for an earlier book of his from 2001, since both books include the "laying the note" con from the 1973 Ryan O'Neal movie "Paper Moon."

Understand that many of the techniques are used by people who aren't con
artists. #s 3 and 4 are old Dale Carnegie techniques.
 
Slide #1 is a type of con - a click-bait to get you to click on another set of
slides that has nothing to do with the subject. That in itself is an NLP
technique called distraction. People are more likely to follow instruction
while in the trancelike state of being mildly distracted.
 
Politicians are masters at deception. One of the ways you can immunize
yourself to much of that is to read a basic book on Neuro-Linguistic
Programming, such as Tranceformations.
 
Con artists develop a sense of who can or cannot be conned. Look at their eyes
and you'll see their pupils narrow if they think you can't be conned. It can be
fun to watch.

As I mentioned below, I smell at least an exaggeration. This is in part because while the new male contraceptive Vasalgel has passed animal tests and is due to start being tested on men in America in 2018, I STILL haven't heard any rumors that rock stars or athletes are pouring money into it. So why would less promiscuous men be that interested?

Hadoop is a very common and powerful (raised, flat supporting surface) for working with data, but it can be a little hard to get a grip exactly on what it is and what it does. It's a collection of software computer programs that are used to work with big data. Hadoop Training offers full-length courses on a range of Hadoop technologies for developers, data analysts and administrators.

It was (at first/before other things happened) developed in 2009 in UC Berkeley's AMPLab, and open sourced in 2010 as an Apache project. With Spark, developers can write fancy (or smart) parallel computer programs to execute faster decisions, better decisions, and (happening or viewable immediately, without any delay) actions, applied to a wide variety of use cases, (related to the beautiful design and construction of buildings, etc.)s, and businesses. Spark Class room training course provides an introduction to this amazing technology and you will learn to use Apache spark for big data projects. Spark Class room training course is simple to follow and will lay the foundation for big data and parallel figuring out/calculating. Spark technology is based on in memory (people with no modern technology/very basic things) makes it almost 100 times faster than Hadoop and Mapreduce. Classroom Training in Spark are delivered by experts with 100% practical use.

Why? What particular Proctor-Silex appliance are you
interested in?

We have a 4 quart Proctor Silex crock pot that is somewhere between 25 and 30 years old. Still works like a champ. Couldn't be simpler - just has one knob on the front for off, low, and high. No fancy timers, digital displays, or temperature settings.
 
Don't use it much in the summer, but from Fall through Spring it lives on the counter and we use it for soups and stews a couple of times a week. Don't how the current line compares, but this thing will probably out live me.
