"It's the consuming the bacon that's the issue. I can't imagine it being any issue to buy someone else bacon (say, you're covering lunch for a friend, and they ordered a BLT). Heck, I remember an article a while ago where some Israeli operatives trained pigs to guard border towns because they didn't have the "OMG KEEP AWAY" issues that Muslims had with 'em." - Rachel Keslensky

"Yeah, my general attitude is "If I'm in a situation where I intend to use this [X], I don't think anyone cares if it's legal." There's the issue of getting searched by cops, yes, but c'mon... Also, Stingerette is your friend." - Rachel Keslensky

"[They suggest on this page](http://gotech.gatech.edu/plugins...) carrying pepper spray, and I know I've seen folks considering / buying knives (though how legal that is, I don't know...)" - Rachel Keslensky

"I seem to remember the Technique's recall of the event involved a lot more screaming..." - Rachel Keslensky

"I was about to say "Lesson Learned: Stay out of Home Park", but it's ALL fucking marked." - Rachel Keslensky

"... of COURSE he does. It's as Mormon as having three wives!" - Rachel Keslensky

"Devil's Advocate: How much of this is just reinventing the wheel?" - Rachel Keslensky

"There is a difference between "Other religions existing" and "Actually knowing WTF you're doing" in regards to them. One rather pointed reminder came when I was in elementary school... I was out for the High Holy Days and not only did the school HOLD A FIELD TRIP during one of those days, I was also expected to complete some sort of test / assignment the day afterwards which was about the field trip I never went on. As though there was no valid reason I could've possibly had to miss that particular day..." - Rachel Keslensky

"Did I really need more reasons not to like Santorum?" - Rachel Keslensky

"Yeah, yeah, preaching to the choir. That said, I don't assume everyone is on the same page, so to speak, so getting folks who might not be as involved to read this is still a good idea." - Rachel Keslensky

"The difference is this time it's republicans cheating to beat OTHER REPUBLICANS. That changes everything! /s" - Rachel Keslensky

"Isn't that what I just said?" - Rachel Keslensky

"Clearly Snow / the Capitol was looking to MANIPULATE Katniss, not kill her. Look how they [spoiler](/s "used Peeta in Mockingjay"), FFS." - Rachel Keslensky

"Yes. At least that would imply standards." - Rachel Keslensky

"And folks like [OtakuSquirrel](http://otakusquirrel.deviantart.com/) sell molded manes and tails you can mod your ponies with if you insist." - Rachel Keslensky

"They're Toys'R'Us exclusives. Commence rage." - Rachel Keslensky

"I think Ron Paul is focusing on caucus states precisely because they're not WTA. I imagine he could do a lot better in primaries if he thought he had a chance of winning some primary states outright instead of just collecting 2nd place delegates each time." - Rachel Keslensky

"Durka Durka Obama Jihad?" - Rachel Keslensky

"And Ron Paul STILL couldn't win, even with that." - Rachel Keslensky

"It may be a "new thing", but as more and more indie creators come out of the woodwork and decide they're not interested in working on enriching some other company's IP... well, we're already seeing some of the early fallout of that. Granted, Ghost Rider was developed in the 70's, before the main "Creator's Rights" movement, but even so..." - Rachel Keslensky

""Miles" seems to be a location. Siri interpreted your question as "what is the time in location(Miles)" instead of as a math problem." - Rachel Keslensky

"Raise your hoof if you expected Cherilee to admit she likes mares! ... seriously, all this talk of "very special someponies" and not ONE gay couple? really?" - Rachel Keslensky

"I was really hoping she was just thinking "There's no way that potion actually works anymore"..." - Rachel Keslensky

"SatAM Sonic the Hedgehog. You now, the GOOD cartoon, with Robotnik already having taken over the world, those dark black Swatbots, holograms, floating surveillance cameras, roboticization that was proper scary shit..." - Rachel Keslensky

"Well, he didn't get diagnosed over personal hygiene, that's for sure..." - Rachel Keslensky

"I'm predicting Twilight Sparkle's video involves resurrection magic." - Rachel Keslensky

"Already? If true, I predict "Klingon Promotion Special"." - Rachel Keslensky

"Well, in this case it was using a concept we already understand (a book) as little more than padding for packaging. It's not that books don't still have A utility, it's that for their original intended purpose (a vehicle for plain text), we have much better alternatives now. Once you move away from that even slightly (high quality pictures and diagrams, interactive puzzles like crosswords, etc.) books still have a decisive advantage." - Rachel Keslensky

"There's plenty of reasons for this underrepresentation, most of them capricious cultural bullshit, and certainly not reason to state that "women can't program". Programming is a lot like drawing: EVERYONE can do it to some degree. Not everyone can build their own compiler, but the idea that I haven't done so yet doesn't mean that I can't or I couldn't be taught how to. (Actually, I may have done it early on in my CS education; I just forgot that I did. Shows you how important knowing how to do that stuff is, eh?)" - Rachel Keslensky
