The democrats should not have dressed so provocatively!

but there isn’t a “Big Vegan” industry with deep pockets to financially support astroturfing.
Well then who keeps sending me all this free tofu with envelopes of cash taped to it whenever I upvote a pro-vegan meme?
Yeah, I actually got ducks for eggs soon after I purchased my house. But after getting the little dudes (in the mail) and watching them grow into full sized birds— I was reading and learning as much as I possibly could about how to best care for them. But this sort of research leads you down the path of agriculture literature. And the more I learned, the more it disgusted me. So my birds are full-time pets. I don’t eat their eggs, and I’ve tried to cook them and feed them back to the hens, but they don’t eat them. So now I just give the eggs away to my friends/family so they don’t have to purchase eggs. My logic is that doing this reduces the overall demand for factory farmed eggs.
(I have 4 hens and one drake. They are the most spoiled ducks to walk this earth.)
I am a mighty hunter of the most dangerous game: tofu.
Yup. Learning about animal agriculture was what made me vegan.
Same thing that happens to all the male broilers: meat grinder>dog food.
“Certified humane” doe
Not the person you asked, but in my experience, when I travel I will go to grocery stores often. I personally love seeing what grocery stores are like in other countries, so that ends up being quite a fun experience (for me). But more importantly- it lets you stock up on stuff that you can eat. You have to learn what foods are enjoyable for you to consume cold, or with minimal prep, but in the end it’s not too difficult.
Yeah… we’re gonna need a source on that. In my small town there are zero libraries, and about 200 fast food joints. I’ve never lived in a city with more than a few libraries, and those with more than 1 are college towns.
The difference is scale.
Looking at just one animal we eat: pigs. Widely known as a quite intelligent animal.
In 2019, 1.3 billion pigs were slaughtered. That’s “billion” with a “B”. So every day that year- 3.5 MILLION pigs are killed by humans. Every. Day.
This is an instance where I think the folks at nobu casa (paid branch of home assistant development) could dedicate some resources to hardware. Instead of the prebuilt SBC stuff like HA-blue, or yellow or whatever. Create an esp device that just has a reliable microphone, and crank them out. I’d buy one for every room in my house!
I’ve got an esp army in my greenhouse that runs wLED, and one of them has a mic for doing the sound reactive display stuff, but it’s running wLED, not ESPHome… I wonder how easy it would be to just slap a digital mic on some of the other esp things I’ve got floating around?
Nice, I like that Time article better. It reinforces the GINI articles analysis: middle class folks wages didn’t go up with lower class wages. I think that’s sorta a good thing? Ideally the top 10% would not grow, but the bottom 90% would. But help getting to the bottom 50% is definitely not a bad thing.
Also, I never said the income inequality growth is Biden’s fault. But more that it’s the reason all these articles about how good the “economy” is doing might not be seen in the same light by people who are still struggling.
We can do better, and I think closing that gap is everyone’s goal, but the methods to achieve it can vary wildly.
Thank you for the sources. Some comments:
Thanks for this. I guess I should have expected that answer. Bluetooth in general already tests my patience, so I’m not sure a new project revolving around things that already piss me off would be a smart move for my already rising blood pressure.
I’ll stay tuned to that protocol though, as it could probably help me in some other less complicated projects I’d like to tackle.
I’ve never heard of someone doing something like this before, but it sounds like it could have some pretty cool downstream applications (thinking Bluetooth speakers)
With your setup would it be possible to pair your headphones to your phone (iPhone in my case) and be able to pass audio from different computers to a central one that my phone could then relay to my headphones?
I often walk around my house/yard while listening to something playing on my laptop/desktop. And if I get too far from the source, it breaks the Bluetooth connection. So I usually end up having to drag my laptop around the yard with me. A much nicer solution would be to have my phone on my person, and use the wifi to keep connected to my “audio source” without needing proximity to the actual pc playing the sound.
Ah, that’s fair. I guess I just need to commit to one path and just start developing habits. Thanks!
What’s your flavor? My brain is going mushy, and I stress myself out constantly by worrying about missing appointments/deadlines.
Don’t get my hopes up.
If halo infinite had been a well balanced Battle Royale game… I’d probably have thrown away everything I love due to overplaying a damn game.
I’m just so sick of multiplayer shooters. The repetition didn’t seem so bad when I was young, but now it just numbs my brain.
But BR is the perfect combo of “my squad vs the world” that you get in a PVE coop, but also the rush of beating real life opponents that makes you keep coming back.
Warzone is all my friends play now, but it’s gotten so stale that no one really pushes to squad up too frequently.
Sorry for the tangent rant.
Eh. I get your sentiment, but there’s a pretty big difference between “edible” and having a certification from the FDA claiming “generally regarded as safe”
The better question is: why is kokum butter not GRAS? It’s sold everywhere. Has no one filed with the FDA?
Thank you!
I did some digging and found this follow up article about the whole ordeal:
Takeaway: the rules got changed a week earlier, and the fake cheese company didn’t switch to their coco butter version of the blue cheese. (Coco butter is GRAS).
I thought it meant ‘once every other carb’…?
