Vision Test

I used to live with a guy who has trouble with certain colours. When cooking mincemeat he'd ask my help in determining if had gone from pink to brown yet (ie is it cooked?)

I'm amazed to learn that you had trouble getting a driving license: Over here the driving authorities know and understand colour blindness. The prospective driver is required to demnstrate that they can distinguish whih traffic light is on and which is off, but otherwise there isn't a problem.

And about style... I think the idea of style is dying out- or at least changing in western culture, as more and more subcultures emerge, each with its own "styles" and fashions.

being better snipers and seeing better at night are of benefit is the service. but, at 17 i had little experience firing a gun. only twice had i shot anything other than a BB gun, and still got small arms expert. Anyone who went to lackland, know you only visit the range once, and are firing an unbalanced weapon (.22 cal barrel on an m16 stock, iirc). and 98/100 @100yrds was good enough for a ribbon. . may have been another reason for the two choices, both put me in a position for long distance fire. one as sniper, the other at enemy aircraft (not close by any means). so who knows. I was not able to pull full term anyway so it is all moot. really

as for the girl at the DMV, she recieved her corrections from her supervisor. It was not a dmv policy, but her own conclusions her comment was based on. the "hassle" for me was having to deal with her lack of tact and education. (she really pissed me off)

I have that trouble with meat also. i learned to not look at the meat, but the juices. if clear, it done. is tinted, it's not. then I always give it a little longer just to be sure. steak tho, I like it mooing when I stick it with a fork. lol

Cooking? We don't need no stinking cooks!

Just eat it raw!

Mix a little Shoyu (Soy Sauce for you Americans) and some WWWWAASSSABBBIIIIII and gimme a cold beer and I am ready for the Super Bowl!!!

Ahi, shrimp, crab, poki, tako, etc, etc. YUM!!!
(if you don't recognize it, don't ask...)

Maybe a raw tourist or two! j/k

You should have seen the bunch of us a couple of years ago on a trip (business) to Portsmouth, Maine during lobster season. We showed them how to eat seafood. I will never forget the looks on their faces. When they lost their appetites, we ate their dinners too!!!

Slick.

Yeah, sushi and sashimi are really good! But the seafood has to be very fresh, or it's not going to be very good.

I don't know about the raw beef and other raw meats, though. I'm scared that if you eat those, you might get parasites.

[Fyron]

Eating raw beef, pork, poultry, and other non-seafood meats (well... not too sure about insects and the like ) is a really bad idea.

[capnq]

The equivalent of sushi for beef is called "steak tartar". (Sometimes spelled "tartare".)

[couslee]

Nothing wrong with raw beef, but there is a definate quality issue that goes with that. You just don't take a blob of Kroger hamburger and eat it. "tartare" takes a lot of preperation.

Raw or undercooked pork or chicken is very bad.

Never said it wouldn't limit career choices. However, it wouldn't limit it to just TWO choices. I'm blind as a bat and color blind and I had around 60 available jobs to choose from. What would limit job choices would be scoring low on your ASVAB.

[couslee]

not sure what the hell your talking about with that. I was 17.5, and entering with a GED. I do not remember taking a second test for aptitude but do remember them entering the GED scores. My GED scores were that of an "average graduating senior". I didn't not even have a valid driver's license at the time, nor had I ever had one. This was also in 1980, and things may have been changed since then and the time you were in. When I joined, childhood asthma was a disqualification and the reason for my early discharge. that has also changed. now it's not. But you don't know what my scores were, nor are you considering there could be many factors involved in job choices, including the fact we were facing war with Iran. So to imply my choices were limited solely because of test scores, and implying in someway I am stupid is offensive. If only test scores were a factor and I was that dumb, I would not have been accepted by the AF in the first place. If you actually have been in the AF you would know that. Another limiting factor is jobs already filled. They don't train 50 people for one job that is filled, when they have openings in other areas.

I am done with this conversation. And you and your implications and conclusions.

Can you see the hidden 3-D picture?
