A, B, and C are federated. They can all see each other's posts.

New group D shows up. A, B, C, and D all start off seeing each other.

D starts posting anti-pastafarian comments. A and B are pro-pastafarian, and defederate from D.

A and B still see C posts, but now no longer see content from D. I forget if that goes both ways or not.

C thinks they should hear D out and don't defederate, so C still sees everybody.

That's my basic understanding at least. Politely correct me if I'm mistaken!

I feel torn on the issue. I spend 90% of my Lemmy time on here, but the growth feels much slower than many other communities. I'm mostly ok with that. Content is pretty good, but still not much chatter on many posts. I mainly go to World to post to !superbowl, but even with 10x the users as here I only just started getting decent up votes, and I don't want to mod, so I don't feel like starting it here and trying to build an audience again.

Lemmy is probably still going to be finding its legs for another year or 2, so keeping multiple logins is probably the best way to roll for now.

That's really what I look forward to most is an infinite flavor palette. My family hunts, do we've tried quite a number of things over the year. An endless availability of passable antelope or cougar meat that didn't hurt living things would be amazing to me.

I haven't had the chance to try fake fish yet.

Maybe they should go for something a little more exotic, say ostrich or crocodile. Close to flavors people know, but they'd go into with a more open mind. Maybe too novel though to be a lasting success though. I'll leave that to the marketing people.

To get right to the meat of the article:

New School Foods’ process starts by creating a biopolymer gel. This homogeneous hydrogel is placed in contact with a freezing surface and the gel is directionally frozen, resulting in the formation of thousands of directionally aligned, microscopic ice crystals traveling away from the freezing source.

Once the gel is fully frozen, the ice is removed, leaving behind empty channels. These channels act as a scaffold; the channels are filled with proteins and other ingredients (color, flavors, fats) to form the muscle fibers.

This was pretty close to my guess from looking at the pic of the the raw product. It looked like if you'd flatten out a swirled soft serve ice cream cone. The lattice structure should create a nice flakey texture.

Flavor is always the hard part, but I'm not looking for 1:1 replacement there. Actual recipes can always help shape the flavor to your palette. Salmon is pretty distinct, so maybe a generic white fish may work better.

There are always negative comments about it being processed food, but I still think the ecological benefits will outweigh that. Adapting our cooking can offset the near term nutritional issues. Use less meat, real or synthetic. We might not be able to keep our current habits if we want things to improve. We can start compromising now, or sacrifice later. That's my feeling about it at least.

Sadly not shocked by the part of the story that's in the headline. The actual surprises in the article:

1 - He's a state senator now.

2 - The person he slurred was a 13 yr old in front of their mother.

3 -

Tomczyk is quoted as saying, “I have a brother who is a gay guy, and I’ve certainly out of joking and out of spite called him a [slur] more than once.”

What a heck of a guy...

An older relative had me help him with his resume recently. He gave me his email as something like jugman1953@domain.net and I asked if that was what he wanted to use. He apparently collects antique crockery... I told him that may come off as something else. He insisted, so I used it.

I guess it shows what I know, because he got the job. Even a questionable email isn't always a deal breaker.

This is pretty much how I see it. Cash can't solve everything, but it sure smoothes out a heck of a lot of bumps along the way. A lot of people will look the other way if they feel they can get something out of you.

Anyone hard right I know is either a bigot, well to do, or both. When you can have a single income family or you're a jerk, many of these issues don't even make it on your radar. They just seem to not exist or be someone else's problem.

Good to hear! I've been using using Kiwi, but it would be great if I can use Firefox. I would think security updates would come out quicker.

The frustration at Hilary was that it was Saudi money, not that it was money going to the Clinton Foundation, was it not?

I'm not totally up on campaign finance law, but don't most politicians have or be long to these political lobbying organizations?

A quick search basically says the Sanders Institute works to get progressives elected, so that seems a legit use of campaign money, or am I clueless on this?

I have a few accounts, but mainly stick to Beehaw at this point. It just feels different in a good way.

It seems to have died down now, but there seemed to be much hate for it for a week or so after the great Reddit migration. That was originally what got me to try it though.

Very true, I should have specified places we'd generally consider world powers. If we're doing apples to apples comparisons between the US and Niger or Honduras, the battle would already be lost.

Too many people seem to want to "win" at any cost. What they feel they're winning, I couldn't begin to guess. The rich jerks are still going to be rich, the poor ones poor, and you all get to live in a fascist hell hole.

And it's not like that type isn't known for turning on their own team too, so in the end, almost everyone loses. What percentage benefited from any of these authoritarian regimes? If it was ever over 10% is be pretty surprised. It's a pyramid scheme that takes lives.

I would think adding railways to places would take a long time, cost a ton of money, and without enough population it doesn't make sense. I don't know what specific area of the world you are thinking, but most of the world is pretty empty outside of major cities, and most of them probably do have rail service.

I have old rail running right behind my house that people always want to start using again. It's in pretty rough shape so the eyes is it's easy to expensive to get it up to spec and the amount of public interest is too low that it become unfeasable.

Buses on the other hand, can get plopped down instantly wherever they will fit on existing infrastructure. They can go where the demands is. You can have a spare one on the lot. I'd think it's easier to become a bus driver than a conductor. And ultimately if you need more buses, just but another, and if you decide to scrap the program, sell the bus and you have no useless remaining infrastructure.

Overall I'd it had the choice to take a bus from A to B or rail, I'd probably choose rail I'd the pickups and drop s were the same, but again, that's also much harder to do with a train. There's room for both, but here I think trains make more sense for longer distances and buses for local.

Serious question, would Jan 6 be allowed to happen anywhere else?

I'm glad people, even if only private citizens so far, have been charged and convicted, even if it's just a slap on the wrist. I'm hoping very much that at least some officials are held responsible as well. We can't expect any leader, any public servant, any police officer, or even any citizen to redirect the law if we don't hold people equally accountable.

We also need to announce to the world that we won't tolerate certain behavior. We can't go around acting terrible and get upset when all of a sudden someone decides to partner with Russia or China instead. If we want to be a respected partner with other countries, we have to respect ourselves and hold everyone accountable equally.

We have 2 Tecware Phantom RGB at home that have been great. They have a decent number of options and we'll under $100.

I just use the RGB for backlighting, but SO had the pudding caps and they look great if you're into that. The software hasn't been too bad for us either.

I'd rather it be people than bots. If it's someone posting an article of something they're interested in, I don't necessarily need an initial comment from them, but if I post one, it's be nice to get a response back from OP.

Especially if it's something non-US I like learning how things work on other parts if the world. I didn't really want a US take on world events when I could get it from someone there.

I'd be interested to see conversations like this, possibly in it's own animal rights community. There are many things related to this.

Ethical farming and ranching practices

What animals do you feel are ok to eat or get products from

Animal personhood

Attention for less popular or stereotypically cute animals

I feel our role is an omnivorous one. I love just about all animals but creepy and cuddly. But I also eat meat. I want to learn to eat less of it. I do hunt, and I feel less guilty of that than buying supermarket meat.

Nature I feel is beautiful, but also sometimes cruel and brutal. With human intellect, we have some ability to break some of the cycles of nature. We can choose what we eat and how we get it. We can farm and make food from nothing. We can convert foods to different foods or invent brand new things. We can be friendly with other species. Our food culture is evolving along with us, and conversations need to be had to progress.

Shoe horn is underrated. I always used to wear out the lasting of the shoe (where the back of your heal goes) but not since using the shoe horn. A dollar store shoe horn helps save me hundreds on shoes.

We've been happy with the VIOFO A129 Pro. Not very expensive and good quality video on both cameras day and night. There are lots of day/night comparison videos and the VIOFO beat a lot of cameras that were much more expensive.
