Absolutely! Despite making a short straightforward comment about my own experiences with the time commitment and cost of veganism, I fully understand that it's more nuanced in my own life, let alone across the breadth of differing human experiences and cultures worldwide.
One of my absolute favourite food products is Felix vegetarian hash
I am genuinely glad you managed to find a cheap and tasty food which can at least help you reduce slightly your meat purchases.
I don't think the second half is true. Despite being subsidized like crazy, meat is still relatively expensive.
It's definitely more time-consuming if you wouldn't be cooking otherwise. At least in my experience if you want to eat something vegan you gotta make it yourself (at least in my home country).
Here's a quote from that article, to illustrate how people saw the Trump government on Israel at that moment:
Every previous US administration has been pro-Israel but made some effort to understand and respond to the Palestinian narrative, says Mr Miller.
This one is so "deeply ensconced" in the Israeli narrative it has crossed a red line, he says.
If so, it will be difficult for it to keep propping up the framework, with unpredictable results.
It is true that key Arab countries seem more willing to sanction a settlement less favourable to the Palestinians than before because they want Israel as an ally against Iran.
But Mr Trump's decision on Jerusalem, and Israel's heavy-handed approach in Gaza, reduces their room for manoeuvre.
Good thing I double-checked to see if someone else made this point yet.
Yeah. Not only that, but the splash screen when you launch the game makes it incredibly clear that it's one guy called Greg (very humanizing) and he's working on it, but he's not some superhero.
people in the UK want lower food prices, but don't want to be part of the EU common market
Yup, it's pretty dumb. But the way the majority feels is that they've had these arguments about Brexit for some many years they're basically done at this point.
And they want more doctors and dentists, but less immigration.
Interestingly, even Reform, the most pro-brexit anti-immigration send everyone to Rwanda party still wants exceptions for doctors, dentists and nurses to allow them to come into the country at will. They are very much considered the exception for immigration.
He's right. There just isn't the political will in the population to reopen the topic of Brexit now. Whether anyone likes it or not, the things British people really care about right now, in no particular order, are:
Inflation
House & utility & food prices
Immigration
NHS waiting lists & more dentists
Train infrastructure.
People can make very legitimate arguments linking Brexit to those issues, but it's not politically viable to open that can of worms again. They just really want their lives to improve for the first time in over a decade.
There's also the fact that a hypothetical end to US aid wouldn't end EU aid. It's definitely not on the same scale as the US due to our much smaller military sector, but that'd likely change in the event of a US shut-down of aid.
In my mind, the most likely results would be:
Short-term: Very dangerous period for Ukraine, they lose some ground, lots of men (similar to the last time they had a crippling artillery shell shortage).
Medium-term: EU military sector slowly ramps up to meet demand, as about 3/4 of central & eastern EU considers this an existential war that cannot be lost at any cost.
Long-term: After the war is over (however many more years that takes), Russia finally negotiates some kind of ceasefire where they can save some face internally and brag about how they "Denazified" Ukraine while going home and accomplishing nothing, EU is much more self-sufficient and therefore buys less from the US, and they aren't seen as a trust-worthy ally militarily anymore. Even if on paper most EU members are still in NATO, they consider the security guarantees of the EU as much more important and serious.
It's not a civil war and I don't think it'll become one. The modern US isn't geographically separated enough to have any sort of cohesive movement locally. There's no north vs south playing out, for example.
Instead, what you have is a slow-rolling coup and social instability.
As far as I understand the decision (IANAL!), the definition of what constitutes an "Official Act" is left intentionally undefined, so in effect you can only claim this ultimate power if the courts like you in order to declare what you're doing official.
This means, if I understand it correctly, king powers for Trump and nothing for Biden. They'd just rule everything Biden is doing as not an official act.
Btw, After staring at it for a while I can kinda switch between red and white at will. Anyone else?
No, that doesn't seem to work for me, but after messing with zooming in, I can absolutely see it's white if I'm all the way zoomed in on the black and white pixels in the can, and then as I slowly zoom out, there's a specific moment when there's enough of the surrounding blue that the can suddenly turns red.
The can remains black and white in my perception as long as I'm sufficiently zoomed in on it without the background. It's a pretty neat effect.
Yes, absolutely. That is a concern that I too share, fellow meat being. We should be vigilant against superior, more capable, and really friendly artificial intelligences.
How do you ever solve a problem if you don't acknowledge it exists?
I'm not from the US, but live in a country that is a US ally with a lot of military bases. The US election effects us. The fact the DNC is fielding an old age pensioner who should be sitting comfortably in a retirement home complaining about the birds obstructing his view against an equally old fascist is deeply worrying.
Technically, yes. Practically, it's complicated. It doesn't really exist within the same ecosystem as other Linux distros.
It's not as different as Android (which is also technically a Linux distribution), but running a normal DE and all the programs that come with it is very clearly still an advanced user thing locked behind knowledge of how bash and virtual environments work.
Wait... could Just Stop Oil have done some 5D chess move here? Force Sunak to publicly claim he cares about Stonehenge just before the UNESCO report comes out?
At every step in the process, it looked to those around me that whatever I was using was going to be used forever. I didn't set any lofty goals
This is absolutely the right approach, even if you were planning to quit from the start (not the case with you, but still). "This is my last ever cigarette" just caused me to delay and delay and delay. The only realistic way to do it for me was one craving at a time ("I'm not smoking for the next hour"), then a day at a time. Handling the hours and days was hard, but once you do that the weeks and months take care of themselves.
Vaping for me was a major misstep. Just caused me to consume more nicotine than when I was smoking.
