  • Steak is safe to consume at lower temperatures. The interior of the meat is mostly free from bacteria, so while you still need to cook it, it’s not as important. 120f internal becomes 130ish internal after resting as the heat on the outside migrates in, which results in a perfect medium-rare piece of beef.

    Do NOT do this with hamburger, however. Grinding beef up mixes all the bacteria on the surface into the inside so you’ve gotta cook that shit to 165 °F.









  • I think a good doctor would provide this explanation to the patient. Be like “Okay, let’s get you fixed up! The medications and techniques we use change if you’re pregnant, so can you tell me when your last period is?” Only takes a second. Doctors should be aware that women often feel ignored and mistreated in a medical context (given the body of literature and studies demonstrating such), so like, they should work to correct that issue. It shouldn’t be difficult to do. It just requires a wee little bit of empathy.
