Turbaconducken (Turducken Wrapped in Bacon)
16 hours ago - via Bookmarklet - Link
"Turbaconducken. That’s right — a chicken stuffed in duck stuffed in a turkey, all wrapped in bacon. Otherwise known as a bacon-wrapped turducken." D: - Jess Lee via Bookmarklet
mmmm....bacon - Paul
The amazing part is that the chicken *and* the duck *and* the turkey are wrapped in separate layers of bacon. Also amazing is that an entire site is dedicated to "Daily Updates on the World of Sweet, Sweet Bacon" - Bill Strathearn
I have to say that is some seriously unattractive food, regardless of how good it might taste. I'd love to see a professional chef try to dress that thing up... - Kamilah Gill
That's just wrong. - Mo Kargas
10 bird roast from posh british chef hugh fearnley-whittingstall http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... - Alex Gawley
@Alex: Wow. I didn't think the turbaconducken could be topped, but 9 birds stuffed into a turkey definitely wins. - Jess Lee
I also read it as bad German transliteration, something “turboconductive”, or maybe Italian, “turba con ducken”. - John Lam
wow, that's all kinds of bad. i bet it tastes fantastic though - Cee Bee

“Idea: Experienced players should offer guided tours of Call of Duty levels, introducing newer players to common tactics, killzones, and advanced strategies. I could totally see players paypal-ing $5 for an hour session in a private game room with 10 other students, while a drill sergeant runs folks...”

...through sniping exercises and claymore-avoidance skills. - Kevin Fox
Anyone know if this kind of thing already exists? With 90,000 players on Call of Duty at any given time, this seems like a worthwhile market for building a team of instructors. - Kevin Fox
I gotta get back into that game -- it was awesome - Shey
wow that's so nerdy. it could help though. i used to get frustrated as hell always getting shot down on cod 4 all the time when i first began - Cee Bee
But if there was this, there wouldn't be any more n00bs for the experienced players to pwn. - Wizetux
Nice to see that *something* exists in this space, though group instruction would still be awesome, and seriously: a short in-game video of them coaching would instil a *lot* more confidence than the cheezy self-portrait thumbnails. - Kevin Fox
$5? I'd probably pay that for certain games. Especially CoD4. - Cyrus Lendvay

35 - The Size of Africa « Strange Maps
yesterday at 2:37 am - via Bookmarklet - Link
"It shows how Africa (30,3 million km²) is larger than the combination of China (9,6 million km²), the US (9,4 million km²), Western Europe (4,9 million km²), India (3,2 million km²) and Argentina (2,8 million km²), three Scandinavian countries and the British Isles" - Paul Buchheit via Bookmarklet
The comments there are a treasure too! :) - Alex
It's as big as all the countries of Africa combined! - Gabe
hotbed of innovation and manufacture within 30 years - Gregory Lent
Alex: spot on. lol reading these comments. A dash of pedantry, a little bit of bigotry, some serious lack of geographical knowledge: so much fun! :) - Mathieu Ayel
beg to differ somewhat with Gregory. It might become hotbed of innovation but not any time soon. Conflicts, political instability, lack of decent governance and underlying infrastructures and institutions will not allow it to resonate in a way to become a hotbed of innovation. In small pockets though, it happens even now, especially in countries like Kenya and Ghana in everything from innovative approaches to private education to inventing incredible devices for water cleaning. - Hayk
Moreover, the size and comparison of African continent with other continents and countries is little more than a nice figure illustrative of geography. - Hayk
30 years, hyak, things will move fast, but i know what you are saying, seems nearly hopeless, impossible .. but the world "vibration" will make it happen faster than is logical (my opinion) - Gregory Lent
Gregory, i did not mean logic. Living on this continent since 1.5 years and seeing their mentality and their potential, I believe that nothing short of dramatic consciousness change, to borrow your term, will turn people on this continent into economic machines of production. I generalize, apparently. - Hayk
me too :-) ... i really have nothing to base this on .. except two things .. the creativity they have with basically nothing, even bricks are rare sometimes .. the way they are doing the cellphone thing is a hopeful sign .. and the other is from african art, every culture made masks with some sort of design feature where the third eye is .. there is an innate plugged-in-ness there, so that when it gets a bit stable, it will flow .. and the gates foundation should only do education, malaria will then take - Gregory Lent
care of itself - Gregory Lent
Also, Africa had this "misfortune" of being on top of all kinds of natural resources which became valued at one point or another. As it said in Blood Diamonds, "every time a precious resource is found on this continent,innocent people die, country is plundered." Pouring money only to sustain lives without any solid self-sustainable policies in education or infrastructure is sort of a band-aid. Tackling malaria is what appeals the most to inner sensitivities of Gates :) - Hayk
Africa is the cradle of our species.. says a lot about how out of touch we have become when we treat our birthplace with such distain. No wonder we're raping and pillaging everything we can. Makes you wonder if the attempts at keeping the African nations as undeveloped as possible is to turn the place into the next middle east when the rest of our resources have been spent. - alphaxion
+1 Gabe - Rebecca Sun
Thinking economy is taking out limited resources is wrong... Economy is added value man made... Today wealth comes from service... picking was thousands years ago, agriculture hundreds and industry last 2 centuries... - jfayel
Natural resources have historically made countries very wealthy. - Gabe

Worst cheese packaging ever
7 hours ago - via Bookmarklet - Link
I'm not sure what's worse, that they're calling their product "pasteurized process cheese food" or that they're headlining it as "Gouda style" with a "Gouda-type flavor." In case you're wondering, according to the ingredients on the back, it was actually Cheddar. - Tom Stocky via Bookmarklet
"Gouda-type flavor." Wow. - Bret Taylor
They took the idea from a failed Taco Bell campaign, Mexican-like food. - Eban Crawford
Note that it's called "pasteurized process cheese food", not "cheese", which (according to FDA regulations) means that it must contain at least 51% cheese (and probably contains exactly 51%). - Tudor Bosman
LOL, the fact that it is actually cheddar just makes this even funnier. - Kenton
Cheddar?!?!?! As a cheese lover, this is offensive. Glacier Ridge Farms should get their food processing license revoked. - Anika Malone
+1 Bret - exactly ... funny sh*t - Susan Beebe
it's the "Velveeta Effect". Everybody sing: there's no single cheese like velveeta, because velveeta is more than one single cheese. Like colby, swiss and cheddar, blended all together for a taste that melts with ease! - Morgan Haley
@Morgan: I'd be more comforted if I knew for sure that the other 49% (per Tudor) was just other cheeses ... - Tom Stocky
i think it means this is not cheese and can't legally call itself cheese - Joelle Nebbe
i like the 'like' and 'type' labels...sort of like the people that say they live 'beverly hills adjacent' when they live in the middle of crappy hollywood - Morgan Haley
I'm pretty sure I've eaten one of these on an airplane before. Anything remotely resembling a cheese flavor: FAIL - Jeanette Martinez

Big 3 Bailout - Average Wages for Detroit vs Japanese Transplants
16 hours ago - via Bookmarklet - Link
"For Detroit, [bankruptcy] means release from ruinous wage deals with their astronomical benefits (the hourly cost of a Big Three worker: $73; of an American worker for Toyota: $48), massive pension obligations, and unworkable work rules such as “job banks,” a euphemism for paying vast numbers of employees not to work." - Jess Lee via Bookmarklet
Like for the overall idea, not for the political name calling etc. - Erica Baker
I don't know precisely how the proposed bailout is structured yet, but it definitely gives me a scary, icky feeling at first glance. And while I do think that labor costs are *part* of US automakers' problems, it's obvious that they're far from the whole story. - Joel Webber
It's also worth noting that the article's author is Charles Krauthammer, who's hardly a useful source of unbiased information. Some of the commenters go so far as to suggest that US automakers would be fine if it weren't for CAFE standards, which is pretty absurd given that they also apply to companies that are doing just fine. - Joel Webber

FT.com / World - Pirates seize another ship in Gulf of Aden
3 hours ago - via Bookmarklet - Link
"The latest example of piracy came as a Saudi supertanker, seized by pirates on Monday and laden with an estimated 2m barrels of oil, was confirmed to be anchored off the coast of Somalia....The tanker is about three times the tonnage of a US aircraft carrier, making it the largest vessel ever seized by pirates. The attack also took place farther out to sea than before, signalling that the pirates have become increasingly bold, organised and able to adapt their tactics, experts say." - bob via Bookmarklet
"It is estimated that the tanker was holding more than a quarter of the daily exports from Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest oil exporter. The oil would have been worth about $100m (€79m, £66.5m) at Monday’s market price but is probably of little interest to the pirates." - bob
"Cyrus Mody, manager at the International Maritime Bureau, said the pirates would probably look to move the Sirius Star to the coast of Somalia where they would anchor it and begin negotiation with the owners. ... “I think they will demand good money because it’s a brand new ship,” said Andrew Mwangura, of the East Africa Seafarers’ Assistance Programme. “I think they have hit the jackpot.”" - Paul Buchheit
I think the coast of Somalia would be a great location for a US aircraft carrier, much better than the Persian Gulf. - Tudor Bosman
