Plumping is just injecting saltwater into the meat after it has already been killed. And that’s fine, as neither salt nor water are forbidden in Islam. The only thing that could matter is that it’s clearly labeled on the packaging how much percentage the meat is vs how much saltwater was added, as you’re not supposed to be deceptive.

But considering some countries generally lax product labeling laws, I assume you could still get a greyzone, where it could be labeled as “halal-slaughtered chickens” - but the actual product wouldn’t pass a stricter control due to undisclosed brine.

So it’s also likely you have a good grocer, but just know that you can’t automatically trust some halal-stamp if you want to avoid plumping.

I’ve driven a poorly designed car without many safety features for years, and I’ve never flown through the windshield, ever.

Huh, what does halal have to do with this? Halal-slaughtered chickens are allowed to be plumped as well.

It’s because the attention is more important than the oomf for these kinds of people.

If they could easily modify an electric car to make a ton of noise when revving, they’d probably switch.

Don’t worry, it’ll only put a dent in everyone’s index/retirement/etc accounts, everyone other than him and his friends will be holding the bag.

If it hits the brachial artery in your arm, you’re not going to have a good time either.

time your transit from point A to point B, calculate your minimum average speed to make the trip in that time, and mail you a citation when you’re over the posted speed limit?

Norway does this.

What exactly is a stick pen? An image search shows one of those pens with a removable cap?

I’ve tried those before, but the caps always end up disappearing on me, and it felt quite “cheap” quality (BIC Cristal for example)… but maybe there’s some better brands?

You don’t consider the GRU/Africa Corps to be neo-colonialism at the least?

And if we’re still both 32 bits dating, instead of getting married into 64 bits, we’ll have some problems in January 2038…

Only nerds want idempotent build results, it’s so fun debugging slop…

You give them an inch, they’ll take a mile. There’s no real desire to make stuff efficient when people just accept it.

A different example is that if you said 15 years ago that all of your desktop programs would actually be running each in their own individual web browser, people would look at you like you’re crazy. Now it’s somehow normal.

In what way would the EULA/contract be illegal/invalid? The US has a pretty broad freedom of contract. No one has forced you to buy that licensed computer program. You don’t need it to survive. You’re not discriminated against by not being allowed to buy the software instead of a license.

Understand I’m playing devil’s advocate here. I agree that such contracts are morally corrupt, but I’m not aware of anything that’d make them illegal. Only by being truthful regarding the current laws is how we can make change.

I agree, but that’s not how I’d imagine the courts would see it? If the EULA says that you don’t own the computer program, you’re just paying for a license to use it, then you’re not really “the owner of a copy of a computer program”…

Good for Trump that DC is on the list, otherwise he should have trouble voting.

You’re forgetting the 12% exception, but they’d probably need an even larger amount than that.

Dolly Parton or violet, who knows.

I thought we all hated FIFA and are supposed to call it a “commercial break”?

It feels like EU Directive 2014/109 chickened out in comparison to those pics. Especially all the warning labels regarding children or fertility… a large portion of the imagery is almost comedic, showing that your balls will explode, and that babies will mooch your cigs.
