Oh , I buy this, to some extent. As an omnivore…. I’ll never give up eating meat, but I do love some meals that are “accidentally” vegetarian.
Hot take on Indian food: one of the world’s greatest cuisines but when I visited, I found so many restaurants deprioritized even chicken so much that it was just not worth it. Enjoy the meals, enjoy what they do well without trying to push different preferences
I’ll probably regret going there ….
But could this be a scenario where the cheapest chicken tenders are good? Is there any fiber to whatever they use for filler?
Oh I’ve heard that. Idiots starting with a grain of truth on characteristics of “insoluble fiber” and going off into la la land
Or capsaicin. I hate when plants produce that, LoL
I’m having trouble translating how big your cabinet is …… given the list of equipment similar to yours (nas, switch, router, ports), how many mini-pc’s fit?
Buy ya gotta admit their point that streaming still costs way less than cable …… assuming you’re subscribing to what you want rather than try to recreate
When I first switched, the math said I cut my costs in third while getting much better internet service and three streaming services
The math is still positive but much less so, however streaming services attempts to alienate me are succeeding - I only subscribe to one streaming service and am considering giving it up. Enshittify away and see what that gets you
I pay for Netflix family plan but since Netflix has decided my kids are no longer in my family when they are at their moms or at college…… I no longer need that. Clear cause and effect
I’ve had nothing but good experiences with Amazon itself. When I’ve had bad service, it’s inevitably a flipper selling something they don’t have expecting they can then buy it at a local sale. But when that sale has ended or they can’t find one to generate enough profit, they claim “shipping delayed”. Eventually Amazon cancels and I’ve always gotten my money back, but I feel scammed and no one seems to read bad reviews anymore
Arguably carnivores have already cut meat intake, at least red meat, to greater impact than vegetarians.
While I’m going by anecdote rather than data
Basically one fewer burger a week by 100 people has more impact than one person not eating meat at all
The arguments are usually that fish aren’t animals or more clearly insects aren’t animals, similar to how plants aren’t animals even if they react to damage. Very easy to argue.
I’ve seen arguments that whatever sentience fish may have, it’s too low level to be aware of pain. I don’t buy that but clearly fish have a simpler central nervous system than mammals. Also easy to argue.
An incremental step would be making it more expensive through taxes or regulation. A possible improvement rather than sitting on an impossible ideal
Everything I want in one place, with a decent searchable ui and next day delivery? Sometimes I try to get away from that, but that’s a whole lot of convenience you’d have to avoid
Over the weekend I went to the home center for a part, even asked for help finding it, and the guy looked it up and said they no longer carry it. I used the Amazon app in the parking lot for literal seconds , and the part arrived the next day.
No need to pull down pants to go faster on the slides
Wait, is this really a thing? I’d never do it for fear of injury, and didn’t believe there was a “pro”
I liked the idea that any space elevator might be built elsewhere, such as mars. The lower gravity makes it less impossible, the lower population reduces the impact of catastrophe, and you are more likely to have space based trading and supply once you’re outside earths gravity
there’s been little progress toward creating the unfathomably long carbon fiber tether
When space elevators were first discussed, there were no materials that could possibly be used. Now we have carbon nanotubes that may be strong enough. That’s huge progress.
But yeah, the political issues will prevail. If we can’t even agree enough to build California high speed rail, think of the impossibility of a major infrastructure project several orders of magnitude bigger and more complex, several orders of magnitude more costly, and where a failure is essentially a weapon of mass destruction affecting hundreds of millions of people.
Just like every other manufacturing industry where China has come to dominate, a big part of their strength is also developing the supply chain, suppliers and to foster competition. There’s an entire web of industry to support car building and scaling demand to make it work.
Or you know, the government could just match Chinese industry subsidies
The problem is we did. The last 2-3 decades had billions in subsidies toward battery technology and battery electric vehicles. Then they got canceled. Then reinstated. Then canceled. At this point Chinas biggest advantage is being able to stay the course
“How long until you’ll be able to compete?”
On the surface, this could be entirely legit, not worth the outrage.
I can easily believe
Even before you get into what you think of this specific manufacturer and whether they’re really ready for self-driving, this is a “normal” process
I’m more worried about regulations defining what self driving needs to be capable of and tests to qualify it
Whether a cyberCab is capable of safely self-driving is a different question from whether a self-driving vehicle is required to have a steering wheel
Maybe hail. At least one of the times I saw hail. It was a clear and sunny day without a cloud in the sky
Or a wall of rain. Once when I was a kid it was a race to get home: a wall of rain was coming through and I tried to make it back in time to stay dry
Thanks
