How come, at least here in the United States, they only sell eggnog during the holiday season?

They sell eggnogg year round in other countries? I didn't know that. Its probably for the best though that they dont do that in the US. The people in this country are fat enough and that stuff is like drinking half and half.
 
Can I eat lamb heart? Is it good for you? My mum cooked lamb heart today... lol.

Yes you can eat it. Its meat, its fine to eat, not the usual thing to eat and tastes different to a normal lamb chop but its perfectly fine.

It's like some people go 'Eww liver, I wouldn't eat that' a lot of animal organs can be cooked and eaten just fine.

I heard liver is packed with vitamins and essential minerals. Also a healthy source of protein. Lamb heart tastes similar to lamb liver, except it's a lot more tougher.
 
Why is that cooking is commonly seen as something for girls but most professional chefs are male? That last part is just my perception from things like TV shows and other media so perhaps it's skewed for other reasons but it seems contradictory. You would think with Gordon Ramsey having a bagillion tv shows there would more cooking related stuff for boys growing up.

Probably the archetype of 'Sally Homemaker' where the women stays at home and makes the meals clashing with sexism in a professional environment.
 
What even is the point of penguins?

They exist so we can point and laugh at their silly little butler outfits while at the zoo. And of course to serve as fastfood for the noble killerwhale.

YouTube question:

I'm a Mac user and Safari is my browser of choice.

Is there a way to get YouTube to just default to 720p videos when 720p is an available quality setting?

Haven't seen anyone answer this yet.

I'm currently on Mac 10.7 with Safari and using this script: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/114002

Configure it right and it'll default to 720p as long as you're hitting Youtube pages. Not sure if the player size scales back automatically (haven't found the setting yet); 320p does look awful stretched.
 
What even is the point of penguins?

They play a role in their ecosystem, just like every other animal. You take them out then there is a domino effect.

If there were no penguins then fish stock would go up, and there would be less of what the fish eat. Up the chain sea lions would have less to eat and reduce in numbers, then their predators the Orca would decrease in numbers.

Then we just end up with more endangered animals for charities to try and save. Nature would adapt as it always does but, what's the harm in penguins?

They are cute and look like they are wearing tuxedos.

The GIF more or less answers my question.
 
So I registered for the site back in college, but I no longer use that email address. I don't want to use my work email, because it's a contract position and I can't access it from home, not to mention they probably wouldn't like me using it here.

I use gmail now. I tried changing it earlier and it was like "Nope." I guess I'll just leave it?

If the system won't let you change it to gmail, just PM a mod explaining the situation and they should be able to help.

Besides resetting your password..what else is the email used for at NeoGAF?

I am in same boat. No access to the email that I used to sign up. I just left it as is.

For getting notifications about Private Messages or about new messages in threads you are subscribed to (If you have the option on)

It's best to have an active email account on your NeoGAF account, in case there is some error or hack that requires you to access your emails to get back your account, hypothetically.

Well..I am out of luck I only have gmail available.

Biryani Chicken & Butter Chicken are both good.
 
Why is -40 degrees the same in both Fahrenheit and Celsius?

Because that is where the 'lines' cross over. This is a graph showing Fahrenheit plotted against Celsius and Celsius plotted against Fahrenheit. -40 is where the two equations cross over. If the striaght lines of two equations aren't exactly parallel, being either below or above each other, then they must be at an angle to each other and will cross over eventually in one place. Assuming the equation is infinite, ie you can just keep putting numbers in, that is to say you aren't using a list of numbers/data and they run out.

Sorry I don't have a better explanation than 'because they do' xD
 
Help me understand how labour laws work. So Girl gets 'promoted' to a higher position filling a mat leave for 7 months. I take her role, for a 7 month contract. When the mat leave mommy returns, company has to give her her old job back or something comparable. What happens to Girl who took her mat leave position? Is she guaranteed her old job back - the one I'm occupying?

In Ontario, Canada btw, but am also curious to see how this is handled in the US and elsewhere.
 
If your eyeball fell out, but it was still attached, would you still be able to see from it?

Technically, yes. But it is nigh impossible to do. The eye is connected to the socket by a lot of things. If you would cut off all but the nerve, you could theoretically get the eye to about an inch of its socket without breaking the optic nerve.
 
Not a stupid question per se, but does anyone know of an amazing video supercut of people drinking beverages in commercials, movies, etc?

I'm thirsty for some juice, but would actually love to watch stylized versions of people drinking non-alcoholic refreshments.

Edit: I am so these kids right now
 
What ever happened to that comet that was to visible to the naked eye? I thought I remembered about a year ago or very early this year hearing news reports that by around September or October a comet would be going past Earth that we'd be able to see in North America without a telescope?

Some media even reported it would be brighter than the full moon, but astronomers say that's not true
 
I'm looking for a song. It's bugging me greatly. I'm not sure if I even like it, it's just stuck in my head. It has this kind of tune. (Ignore the singer and flute or whatever. Just the guitar)

The singer - male - says something along the lines of the below in the chorus.
The more I see the less I knowwww .... something-something [waiting?] for you
Lyrics may be way off. But the tune is there, I think.

Edit. I found it! It's called All For You, by Sister Hazel. Haven't heard it in years.. weird how it just popped into my head.
