It's organic yogurt, so it hangs with the right crowd.  Maybe it's all the pot those organic farmers listen smoke.  And rock and roll.

See, now you're going to get some strange disease from the organic stuff.

I'm really anti-pasteurization.  Survival of the fittest cheese-eaters.  Hey, didn't the French invent that?!

Oh crap.

Pasteurisation is the process of heating liquids for the purpose of destroying bacteria, protozoa, molds, and yeasts. The process was named after its creator, French chemist and microbiologist Louis Pasteur. The first pasteurisation test was completed by Pasteur and Claude Bernard on April 20, 1862.

Unlike sterilization, pasteurisation is not intended to kill all micro-organisms (pathogenic) in the food or liquid. Instead, pasteurisation aims to achieve a "logarithmic reduction" in the number of viable organisms, reducing their number so they are unlikely to cause disease (assuming the pasteurisation product is refrigerated and consumed before its expiration date).

Great.  I'm going to die.

Adventures in The Philosophy of Yoghurt:

Platonic yoghurt - you know it's the best yoghurt ever, but all you can see in the fridge is its shadow

Darwinian yoghurt - if it crawls out of the fridge on its own, don't pick a fight with it

Hegelian yoghurt - can't decide between two flavours? Mix them together. Sorted.

Socratic yoghurt - are you sure you want it? Really sure?

Cartesian yoghurt - always knows exactly where it is. Or at least, it thinks it does.

Taoist yoghurt - has no labels

Utilitarian yoghurt - plenty for everyone!

If you're listening to the pot in your yoghurt, maybe it was more off than you thought.

Yeah, I'm blaming my inability to cut and paste on an infectious disease.  That's it.  I hope it's not one of those diseases that liquify your brain.

That's what I was thinking ... its gone bad from hanging around a bunch of dirty f*cking hippies.

Actually, if its non-pasturized, the acid in the yogurt that gives it that wonderful tartness will delay spoiling, and while that acid will be very bad for molds, it won't eliminate all bacteria, and of course its the one that are more robust that will have been reproducing. And except for the ph, its a wonderful nutrient soup.

Sorry about that.  Is ET under hostile attack or something?  I keep getting error messages.

You know, there was a valid scientific question in there.  People take yogurt to keep from getting sick.  So how does yogurt make you sick?  

It's like the dirty soap question.

If you put dirty soap in the yogurt, it's disgusting. Obviously.

... attack ... AFAIR, EuroTrib still shares servers, and BooTrib will obviously be one of the targets in the ongoing war to keep them damn libruls from telling people stuff, and stuff.

I don't know if this is related, but hopefully someone here can help.  Currently i have zero trouble accessing ET through Safari, but i cannot get in to the site with Firefox.  Since last evening.  I've checked everything i know how to check, i've restarted several times, i've cleared the cache in Firefox.  Haven't yet reset permissions, don't know if that has any effect.  Hilfe?

No problems with Firefox for me.

What error message do you get?

I get no error message, Firefox just sits there and spins.  Same time, no problem whatsoever other sites in Firefox, and no problem reaching here with Safari.  Last evening i did get some strange error messages.

Hm. The IP address changed. Maybe your firefox is caching it strangely. Give it a day or two to see if it recovers, assuming using Safari isn't a problem for you.

Safari is fine, though of course without TribExt.  But shouldn't i be able to reach the new IP address anyway, especially as i've just cleared the cache twice?

I'd have thought so, but maybe there's something funny happening - I've seen ISPs screw with timeouts on such things.

If this is a clue, i was just able to get in.  before i went anywhere on ET i clicked to Booman, and got in fine.  but can't get back to ET now.

... random trouble getting into various sites with Firefox on Windows downstairs ... but when I moved upstairs, no problems with Firefox (well, technically Iceweasel) on Linux.

So, not a clue. Maybe one of those random internet storms, delaying traffic, and the time-out defaults are set differently for IE and Firefox.
