I think people prefer texture when it comes to hot cereals. I like both. I have no problem with both. I mainly eat instant Quaker Oats, however ever now and then Cream of Wheat is nice. My newer jam is steel cut oats with cookie butter. OH MANS.

WTF IS COOKIE BUTTER? Cookies are at leats half butter to begin with.

Nah, that's lunch. Gotta give them time to marinade and really soak up the flavor from the Rum.
I actually ate a fried spider in Cambodia once. I think I'd rather not eat another.
Crabs are basically ocean spiders.
You say that, but when I bite into some crab, it doesn't go crunch and explode in my mouth with spider's hydraulic fluid, and eggs, and various internal gubbins that have a vile flavor and gritty texture, of all things, like the world's hairiest, nastiest grape.
That and the fact I rarely eat crab, either. But that's mostly just because I can't be bothered.
Hey man, have you ever watched a movie called "Coffee and Cigarettes"? It's damned good, I think you'd like it.
It's a wierd dream, but I've always thought about...well, not re-making, and not making a sequel, but basically making the same movie but with different people? But since it's almost entirely improvised, it's not really that, it's a bunch of different people doing the same sort of thing? I don'tfuckin'know. But it'd be cool.
My first real career fair is coming up, and I'm looking for a summer co-op and need some advice. I'm a second-year EE student if it matters, and I have no idea what specifically I want to work on or where I want to work.
Should I wipe basically everything from high school of my resume now that I'm in college? Or should I keep the more important stuff? What about clubs and shit?
Should I bother talking to bigger companies or is it a waste of time because they won't remember meeting me and I can just send them my resume? Also I think I'm disqualified from some because I don't meet the 3.5 GPA prereq.
What's a good policy for excepting Linkedin invites? Do I accept everyone to build a huge network? Or only people who are at least slightly relevant?
When children are asking you how stuff works and it is obviously beyond their scope of understanding, say how a camera works, is there anything wrong by saying "Magic". Like when they ask how the world came about. It would be pretty crushing to just throw science at them especially when they can't understand it, saying that it was magic leaves the door open...for magical science? I don't know but saying that a wizard did it is much less harmful than some dude with a beard.

My father explained this to me once, when I asked for the same - he said that if the student can't at all grasp the materiel, it's a failure of the teacher, not the student. If you can't simplify it to a level that is at least somewhat understandable, then it's on you. However, when talking to a child, you encounter a number of different problems - no point explaining exactly how a camera works with Refraction, optical glass, lenses, CCDs, etc, etc to a three year old, because they simply can't understand, not from lack of knowledge, but lack of ability to perceive the world in the right way.
I'd take the middle ground on this one - magic is a cop-out, but you can't give them something that's too hard for them to grasp, so I'd call it acceptable to simplify things in the extreme. For example, you wouldn't explain refraction and so on, but you could say "Light comes in here through special bits of glass, and that light shines on a little bit inside the camera that remembers what the light was like, which makes a picture."
It's hard to say, when you don't know about the individual kid, though. Some children will get it, some won't.
Anyone else going to watch the Americas Cup races today? If you're into any sports or technology, it's worth checking it out. Especially today, as unless team USA wins both races, everyone is going home, and the Kiwis are taking the cup with them.
I agree with Churba's simplify it to the extreme method but also leave enough room to explain it more if they are still curious. Sometime children can astound you with how much they can grasp. As well you can look for education media, such as The Magic School Bus, that has it explained in a way targeting children.

Speaking as an American, it'd be better if the Kiwis won. Catamarans in an enclosed space does not make for great match racing.

Speaking as a person not named Sail, so not an expert in any way, this year's racing is waaaaaaaaaay more interesting and exciting than in 2010.
It totally is! But it sorta pales in comparison to, like, 2007 and before. The thing about catamarans is the way they maneuver is not very conducive to close-proximity racing, which is what makes match racing so fun to watch because boats are going much more head-to-head. America's Cup should go back to monohull boats and it seems like that's what New Zealand is interested in doing. Racing in a bay is also fairly limiting strategy-wise in a number of ways, AC is usually held on the open ocean. Though it is good for spectating, I should have gone up to watch it.

Or something along those lines. Bonding and education, all rolled up into one package.
"Dad, How does a camera work?"
"MAGIC! And here's how it's all done."
