the OG Nazis were dumb as bricks lmao. Weird nerds with massive egos half of which believed in magic.

vegantheoryclub has both a home cooking (beware the rules re recipes), and a recipes community. There is also a discord linked with lots of pinned and extremely yummy recipes.

You are absolutely welcome to have a look, and you will not run into moderation issues unless you promote carnism. For example: wow that looks great, I’m going to have it with lamb" is as welcome as pissing in someone’s face, but asking for recommendations, tips, or suggestions is completely fine.

I really don’t know why carnists have such strong opinions on vegan spaces.

Lol, every vegan I know which includes a chunk of my own family went vegan because of militant vegans.

I see lots of carnists with no intention of going vegan talk about how militant vegans are bad but I have never actually met someone who is vegan and stays vegan that found wishy washy people motivating or inspiring.

I made exactly the same point to the university when I wanted to open a quantum research lab studying really big distances (see quantum leap) but they said it would be confusing and stupid to accept ignorant people’s definition of technical terms.

I think nuclear war is maybe a better option. If we nuke the usa several imbalances are corrected:

1. turnabout is fair play
2. nuclear winter buys us time
3. radiation might help new live forms that can handle living in an irradiated, heat blasted, wasteland evolve

That way we can keep the oceans.

water gas is a particularly intense greenhouse gas :p

Seconding? No firsting.

Um just search lab rough or synthetic rough online. It’ll depend where you’re located what a good deal is. Aliexpress, eBay, gem dealers around you etc.

e.g. if you live in the terrible empire: https://www.gemsngems.com/product/lab-created-blue-sapphire-rough/

The latter, it’s tiny stuff atm. Industrial. May find ways to improve growth.

It’s in the article lol.

No! good question though, but it misses a detail of their molecular geometry/energy structure.

They’re both allotropes (different forms) of carbon but the way they are arranged atomically is different. Like soot is basically just random balls of carbon (??? bonds), graphite is rings bonded in a plane (3 bonds, a single layer of which is called graphene), and diamond is a network that extends in 3 dimensions with each atom bonded to 4 carbon atoms.

When you grind them up you are more making smaller and smaller shards of the base material than changing it’s energetic structure, although at the edges it is changing. If you grind pathologically I suppose you would eventually reduce it all to soot.

The physical properties of stuff is in part altered by the surface configuration when we get extremely small, but in general we just consider the bulk as even tensie tiny fragments of stuff are thousands (tens, hundreds of depending on geometry) of atoms, of which only a handful have different bonds at the edge.

If you give me your address and pay shipping. Although if you want sick gems the coolest thing you can do is buy rejected lab rough (grade inferior for lasers and shit), and then take it to your local lapidary club and facet it yourself.

I faceted this into trillion but it’s too dark to have much brilliance.

Before synthetic gemstones were trendy and they were truly worthless I bought 5 massive sapphires for like 3 dollars each.

They’re on my desk, I see them every day. Every time I play with them I muse about how not so long ago people murdered each other for gems so large and so perfect. Now that anyone can have them though, they’re toys.

Gems were always about status, nobody aside from nerds every wanted them because they were beautiful, or because their physical properties and fascinating. Showing how much ‘better’ you are than someone else was worth more than human lives.

I don’t think new methods for making diamond will really help anyone, the nutters will just find new ways to flaunt their power.

Why do people think Python is ducktyped? The syntax is quite explicit, just because x = 5. is shorthand for x = float(5) doesn’t mean it’s doing weird mutations. The closest would be maybe that something like:

x = 5
y = 2.
z = x * y

works (I think) but that’s not exactly a wacky behaviour. It’s not like it ever does the wrong behaviour of casting a float to an int which can erase meaningful data and cause unpredictable behaviour.

I mean you can (and often should!) give functions/methods type signatures ffs.

As a trans woman who wears jeans and Ts and feels more at home in a machine shop than a stitch and bitch (although stitch and bitches rock) the narrative that feminine coded behaviour is a necessary and/or sufficient condition for being a trans woman is deeply damaging medicalised bullshit.

Don’t push people to perform cisness or transness, just let them discover themselves.

Once again you come down on the side of facts with admins behaving as reactionaries over veganism.

Here is a press release for the protest as proof I did not post any actual animal abuse.

https://www.peta.org.au/news/peta-barbecues-a-dog-in-a-sydney-shopping-mall/

It’s a photograph of a PETA protest posted to vegancirclejerk which endorses this sort of protest.

The image specifically has the text “vegan” in it, and the dog is a prop.

Given this instance endorses animal abuse for the purpose of food, what are the grounds for the ban? The vcj admin can remove the post if they feel it goes against the community (it doesn’t), people post bodyparts of animals to this instance all the time.

If footage of vegan protests is against the rules, that should be made explicit.

actually if you go to !lemmy.vg you can see my post still up. Not banned from lemmy.vg on their instance.

Positive, however I cannot post the proof.

Apparently! I cannot post the evidence that it was a dbzero admin.

However I can tell you that they

a) did not understand it was vegan content (says in image)

b) admits vegans are right

¯_(ツ)_/¯
