The Burger Lab: How Often Should You Flip a Burger? | A Hamburger Today
The important answer isn’t how many times you should flip your burger but what cooking method you should use in the first place. Juiciest burgers are cooked first in the oven, then finished on a hot grill or skillet. Brilliant!
Psychology, Bureaucracy, and Commentary
The three things I’m tired of: psychology, bureaucracy, and commentary.
PsychologyBlaming to excuse.
No matter how you understand people, only one thing cures the heart or the head. Unconditional love has nothing to take apart and mends every broken heart, eventually. So if we already know this is the answer, let’s not waste any more time by taking apart questions.
Stop pointing fingers; learn to forgive others. Stop making excuses; learn to forgive yourself.
The word “psychobabble” appears in dictionaries and spell check software, but “psychobullshit” does not.
BureaucracyInstitutional blaming and excusing.
It appears to take a crisis to cure what ails institutions. A few renegades can bully their way through, but they won’t stop to cure the system for everyone else. The people of the system don’t often support efficieincy in the system.
Better to beg foregiveness than ask permission, but only if you have money. Actually, either way, you need the money.
Unforgiveable: Delaying action to tell people what you do.
CommentaryPeople talk about doing, or about what is done. Few do anything original.
Most of what I read, hear, or watch is about something else I could read, hear, or watch directly. Reporters forecast to supplement what they report. Analysts discuss the strategy of politics and sports, or explain markets, science, and history. Later they explain why they were actually wrong. I could watch two hours of trailers, featurettes, and reviews for every two hour movie.
Two thumbs: Most of what I have to say to the world is about what other people do or say.
