    Where do you buy goat? I realize I probably sound dumb but I dont recall ever seeing goat meat for sale anywhere ive ever been ever. Am I just not paying close enough attention? It's as weird to me as searching for bald eagle meat.

    People ask:

    Is goat meat any good?

    A. The low levels of saturated fat and cholesterol, combined with its high iron and protein content, make goat meat a good choice for anyone looking for a healthy red meat. It's a leaner, healthier choice when compared to equal serving sizes of chicken, beef and pork.

    Also why is it called the Monty Hall problem when it isnt a problem? Is it even debatable? Shouldn't it be called the Monty hall formula or something?

    Quandary. It's a quandary. Or perhaps even a predicament.

    But as far as I see it, its math, with a tried and true formula. Theres no predicament.

    It becomes a predicament, if you pick wrong.

    So 2×2 is a predicament if you pick 5 as the answer.

    No, 2 x 2 is a predicament, if you don't know what 2 x 2 is and your life depends on knowing.

    Well you keep adding shit. What if your life doesnt depend on it ? You said it BECOMES a predicament ONCE you pick wrong. Now you're saying new shit. I can see the predicament in having to pick between two things but there is no predicament in knowing the statistical eternal never changing odds within those two choices. Always pick with the odds in an unbiased scenario like that. Its 100% likely you'll be 66% right every time.

    Shut up Wren.

    I don't know, I've never prepared it myself. It seems common in Indian cooking so you could probably get it at indian markets.

    Lots of things which are problems are non debatable:

    monty hall problem: change doors
    halting problem: it don't halt baby
    problem of evil: god is clearly an evil fuck
    jedi problem: gas chambers

    "I've never prepared it myself."

    Well gorsh darn I never did cook none of that there goat but by golly I recokon you can get some at the injun shoppe, just be careful they don't use none of that eastern witch craft on ya and tern ya into a frog now ya hear?

    thats their evolutionary strategy. non apex animals evolve to be cute to avoid being truned into foods and their cuteness normally appeal to lesser evolved apex predators, while more evolved apex predators evolve with cuteness resistance.

    the world is an never ending arms race of cute/not cute.

    I'm OK with a world where my kind is so powerful that other species adapt strategies to win my affection with cuteness. Maybe this isn't the worst of all possible worlds.

    P.S. on to topic of apex predator-ness, I'd like to point out that my food acquisition strategies have put me a lot further away from ever being hungry than yours benny.
