Yeah I should have clarified. Steaming meat in pastry forgoes the Maillard reaction so it ends up as a roll of bland ingredients that have been "wasted" in the sense they didn't at all live up to their flavor potential.
Ok so Beef Wellington is made with an actual BEEF muscle and hotdogs are made with PORK and pork fat pureed and jammed inside a casing. Beef Wellington is topped in mushrooms and mustard then wrapped in a wheat-flour pastry, while Corn Dogs are just battered in a sugary Corn Slurry.
Have you had tenderloin beef? Have you had pastry? You know what it tastes like and no, you're not missing anything unless you think boring unseasoned bland meat is good. Personally I'd rather have a great sear on a slab of meat lightly salt/peppered and get on with life.
If it is brand new I don't think I'm going out on a limb to say you likely purchased it on a credit card.
Many people don't realize that a 'standard' credit card feature is 30-90 day lost/damage/stolen protection. So I would look up your credit card policy and see if it's there and if you could take advantage of that.
edit: oops wrote year not day lol. Also might as well add in that I've used various "cardholder benefits" before. Like the +1 year on warranty, which I used on a Costco laptop once. Costco doubled the 1 year mfg warranty to 2 years, and by buying on my CC I ended up with 3 in total. When the motherboard died 2.5 years in I got a full replacement which obviously ended up being from the newest line and better than what I had!
What I find the most depressing is the fatties have invaded the scientific discussion. Want to literally scream out-loud at nothingness out of sheer frustration??? Listen to that "Maintenance Phase" podcast... it is literal mental illness and her own personal Cognitive Dissonance playing out in front of the listeners in realtime, portrayed as informational.
I love the expression! Sounds close to "out of steam" in English which is used similarly... nothing underlying has changed but the enthusiasm or "special something" is gone
4000+ hours in (edit a strategy game) as I used to be the top streamer until the publishing company fucked me around. 3500+ in Diablo 3 as I was able to Leaderboard with a solo Monk... LB'ed and didn't earn any XP in groups... all solo!
It's a very interesting question, and I can't speak to the science but I can speak to my personal experience.
Going back to childhood I always remember the adults insistence that I decide which is my handedness yet knowing intuitively that I could favor either side, and they each had an advantage.
I played left wing in hockey, only because there was never enough left-handed players, so I just pretended I was left-handed.
When I would play little league baseball, coaches would shout at me saying hey, don't you bat the other way?! To me I just naturally, almost randomly picked a side according to how I felt about the pitcher.
When I played snooker semi-professionally, I shot right handed, but not because my right arm had more finesse, but because my left arm was better at providing rock solid stability with fine control, and because my right eye is slightly stronger. In my life, I played perhaps 50 games of billiards left-handed, out of perhaps 20,000 games total. And I can pick up and play left-handed with ease... You would think I'd been shooting that way my whole life.
I use my right hand to write, but when I skateboard, I skate "goofy foot". When I destroyed my shoulder and it was a piece of meat hanging off my body for 6 months, I picked up a pen in my left hand and within 3 days I was writing at the same grace I could in grade 6! Within a month I was actually writing better than right-handed. It was still chicken scratch so I'm not sure what that's worth lol
I know that I am right-handed by choice because there's a difference in the knuckle/tendon of my left thumb. It makes it impossible to move from certain positions on the "circle" to others without first moving to a transitional spot. And I have more dexterity with my right for that reason alone.
I always wanted to play on P2 of the Street Fighter II cabinet.
I can tell you don't cook.
