Fake-meat does not taste quite as nice as real-meat. But what about, say, a mince that is 25% meat and 75% meat substitute?
Phah!I talians and Greeks, and I'd guess most other old world countries have been doing that for hundreds of years. Italians call them.. er.. meatballs! The British call them "sausages":-)
But so far there has NOT been a good substitute in terms of taste, texture, and nutritional value.
I'd pin my hopes on vat-grown beef before a plant-based option.
I have to disagree. Beef has very poor nutrition, and almost any substitite will work. My diet has almost always consisted of (at least) 95% meat , and have remained healthy, likely due to some hunter gatherer heritage, who could say. Beef, however, has not played a large part anymore.. . Sure I used to love a med rare steak but not much now. I did once find some place that made gluten steaks and strips which were just great, don't kbnow why they didn't catch on. The texture was just right, same as the taste, and I would assume also the nutrition. So I know it can be done.
People can eat pork bellies. The only intrinsic use for bitcoin is...
...to buy or sell pork bellies since it's unlikely that jeweller with your potential engagement ring will accept a pickup truck full of pork. Doesn't fit in the till so well (!)
Sorry, not a bubble popping. It's clearly the same kind of market manipulation gold went through before the top investors spent billions on it. by manipulating the price. This way they ensure that tons of nervous investors will dump their holdings, making them available (remember therre's a limited supply) but as well, the price drop ensures they can buy twice as much before it surges back upwards. If you have any cryptos, HANG ON to them (Not to be taken as professional investment advice, just an honest opinion)
Hey! REALLY not neccessary. The shareholders will do it themselves when profits drop. Unless anyone thinks that someone is actually going to PAY that ridiculous amount. There's one warning though. They may have inside information that these particular vitamins are gtoing to be banned in the near future and are acting retroactively. JUst check out online for what happened to the price of the active ingredient in hoit milk when it was banned from OTC sales (L-Tryptophan)
Doesn't matter.. what just gets me is i still remember the old 1984 ad campaign, and it's a sad irony that Apple is careening headfirst into implementing that very same super controlling behavior. It's pretty clear to me that apple does things that make apple happy, and to hell with the users. They're too locked into the apple "experience" to disentange themselves now, anyways, that switching to a non-apple alternative would mean starting from scratch.This applies to both their devices and OSX machines, as well. I keep saying I'm switching to linux or windows if they keep destroying evereything that made apple great.. but hey, I'm still using it, and lately windows has lost any appeal it might have had, what with Win 7 being deprecated in just 2 years.:sigh:
REally, the post pretty much sums it up perfectly and honestl so there's little to add, other than, years ago, when the bugginess with windows was a real problem, and the endless patches often initiated blue screens of death, i stayed with it only because of all the programs (aka "apps" for all ya millenials, eh?) that were windows only, egven though it looked like windows was on the way out, (before XP, right?)... Now it's OSX i stay with prinarily for the apps, otherwise I'd be on linux or some open source BSD distro. I just HATE gimp.. it's so counterintuitive it drives me mad.... Mac OS has lost everything that made it great. Now it's just another distro that "just doesn't work" on overpriced hardware that can't even be upgraded after purchase. Actually, the best " mac" I ever had was a macintel 10.6 - model escapes me - was faster than both of my macs!
California does have a tendency to get ahead of themselves. They seem to be the first to warn people about danger....
Uh.. that's a *2009* document that was HIDDEN by the California Department of Public Health because they obviously didn't like the results of their research, so "getting ahead of themselves" would *not* seem to be the problem here..
Despite people being called "crackpots" and "fearmongers" for decades about cell and other radiation such as WIFI being injurious, the research proving this, exists and IS out there, just buried. Maybe we just have to wait until all the naysayers die of brain cancer befoire something is done?
There is a whole slew of physical evidence for alien craft. Admittedly it does tend to disappear fast, but it's hard to argue with actual scorch marks in the soil coupled with extremely high radiation counts. There's been lots of cases of this.. And authenticated photos of spacecraft such as the one surrounded by soviet soldiers guarding it, which only came to light after the fall of the soviet union, have to be considered hard evidence since there would be no reason for the Soviet military to fake such and then hide it away for 30 years. And the list goes on.. But "UFOs" ? You can't have "hard evidence" for an unidentified flying object... although there's thousands of videos and photos of them all over the world. Some are just real creepy, such as those silver spheres that show up and are filmed repeatedly in California (I think in LA), and lots more..
Uh, WTF? Flies? And he brought them to you? How, exactly? And how would he have ever taken them to the trash anyways, assuming he were taught to? I mean, flies are pretty small. Sorry, me no comprendes...
Oh yes we were. There is evidence of human existence even earlier than that.... Unless we have really only been here for 6000 years and we are all descended from 2 people, And genetic diversity be damned !
If that were really so then conditions NOW would ALSO equal those tropical ones then. I call BS psudoscience. They're only going by ice core samples which paint a highly inaccurate global picture, for reasons too complex to delove into here.
Amazingly stupid move for Tesla, they'll lose more money from the inevitable lawsuits than if they had kept them on.. Especially when layoffs would have been acceptable (well, not for the affected, obviously). If this is representative of their management smarts no wonder they're going under! (Hey! that rhymes!)
Bitcoin is, IMHO, without a doubt a good investment.. I wouldn't invest into ICOs though. I can't see a single advantage over just buying BTC outright. The coins have the same situation as gold, as the supply will get scarcer and scarcer over time. And you would think every/. reader oughta know this, right? Certainly some of the traders and speculators I respect most are high on bitcoin, and, in fact, other cryptocurrencies, like Doug Casey, and others. Of course he also thinks pot stocks are going to shoot up in value. No shit! I was also amazed that there's actually pot stocks on Wall Street. Who'd a thunk it?
Your signature is just an acknowledgement of payment it is not fraud control.
Nobody's told the cashiers that, yet! Although it has actually been some time since a frumpy and overweeight cashier would peer at me through her horn rimmed glasses, then look at the signature, then look at me again, then studiously look at the signature again, and me again, and after a few more times of this ask me "Is this you?" Seriously!
Better yet, get a monkey in a big winter coat to do it for y'all. Actually surprised nobody else suggested this.. Ah well, I guess that 15 minutes of fame doesn't raise job ops these days if you're a macaque;(
Sheesh! To be really thorough they should add "thought crimes" to the mix. Force everyone to have a brain scan and if they see something suspicious lock 'em up and throw away the key. Heck, why stop there? Test for "future crimes" in fact,, test newborns, and if they're gonna be terrists or other criminal persuasions just hack their tiny heads off! Just *think* of all the money saved in the court and prison system. And if you don't get to test them while they're that young wait till they're toddlers, so they can stand up, and line them up against the wall and execute them military style. THIS is the kind of society you're going to be getting if you keep pushing for your "nanny state"that will fix all your problems. Who was it that said something al;ong the lines of "those who would sacrifice liberty and human rights for a little bit of protection deserve neither". MAybe somebody here knows the correct quote...
Well, I think they gotta stir the pot again since it's become uninteresting to the general populace. Gotta have a new story with "the Russians Did It!". Especially now seeing as they can't go to war with a big bad bogeyman if they're percievad as innocent of all the malicious acts the MSM is trying to blame on the Ruskies!

15% of the world's human population didn't live in permanent structures built in areas that were about to be flooded by rising seas 800,000 years ago.
Actually, judging by the growing list of discovered undersea remains of dwellings, that may not be true either...
And we weren't here.
Oh yes we were. There is evidence of human existence even earlier than that. ... Unless we have really only been here for 6000 years and we are all descended from 2 people, And genetic diversity be damned !
