This far from Klingon space?

I’m afraid I’m gonna be the counterexample to your theory. I liked most forms of meat; my favorites were chicken, ground beef, and fish fingers. However, once I discovered plant-based (mostly soy-based) substitutes, I genuinely prefer them. I’m still not fully vegan but I’m no longer buying meat because this stuff is so much better. I also prefer oat milk over cow milk and am kind of annoyed I didn’t try it sooner because it’s so much better (esp. in hot chocolate).

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that you probably haven’t even looked for any viable alternatives, because if you had, you would have found they are plentiful already. They’re just expensive because of the government subsidizing animal farming, not because they’re expensive to produce.

Oh boy, this reminds me of this web comic, “Death and the Maiden”. It starts out slow but if you stick with it it’s going to reward you. https://deathandmaiden.com/one/index.html

Sorry, why is this posted to upliftingnews that we still have people who can’t afford basic necessities and are dependent on charity from rich people?

Can one really fault Ukraine for making the decision to fight back when the decision was already made for them?

No-one (but you) said “fault”.

The message you responded to only pointed out that the Ukrainians, too, put ideology above human lives. If you can’t fault the Ukrainians for fighting the Russians, then you can’t fault them for putting ideology above human lives.

Valuing human lives is itself an ideology/viewpoint. A great one obviously, and one I fervently agree with, but once you realize this it’s easier to understand how other people can put other viewpoints ahead of this one.

True but not relevant to the point being made.

Because without it, the DOJ would have no control over you, duh

I kind of wish more people realized how much of everyday computer usage can be simplified with keyboard shortcuts. Take a look around your favorite apps/programs and/or Google for “keyboard shortcuts”, and try to build a habit of using shortcuts for some of the most frequently used commands. It’s very liberating as it gives you a feeling of greater control.

For example, in Windows, did you know that if you pin your most used apps on the taskbar, you can access them using Win+1, Win+2, etc.?

In browsers, you can press Ctrl+L for the location bar (URL) and Ctrl+K for the search box. Ctrl+Shift+T will restore your last closed tab if you closed it accidentally.

Menus can be accessed with Alt plus the underlined letter. The File menu is pretty much always Alt+F. Many dialogs have elements with underlined letters too. We should demand this on the Web as well, as it’s kind of becoming a lost art with fewer and fewer people knowing about it. It only takes an accesskey attribute!

I assume that banning all robocalls requires new legislation, whereas the regulation mentioned here didn’t.

Not really tonight, but yesterday I finished the language puzzle game Chants of Sennaar. Highly recommend!

That is a great analogy. We always assume gravity is the same for everyone, but when you’re as tiny as an aerosol droplet, air currents are a lot more relevant.

The sad truth is that none of us, Jon Stewart included, get to choose. The established elite preselects candidates before the people get to pick them, and they would simply not allow Jon Stewart to run.

The way you equate capitalism with democracy, and then tacitly imply that Che Guevara must therefore have stood against democracy, is American propaganda.

Logic puzzles, esp. variety Sudoku.

I don’t think anyone’s saying that you’re to blame. It’s just that you might be persuaded to help clean up this mess.

It can still easily take hours if it’s a whole movie you’re copying and you’re transcoding it into a more space-efficient codec.

You got the joke just fine. Just replace “wins” with “loses” in your own sentence.
