    I have nothing but praise for them.

    Seriously. I pay less than $2.50/month for a personal domain and a hosting package with 5GB storage, unlimited traffic, Roundcube webmail, full support for Wordpress and bunch of other software I can install, at a reputable and very well-regarded hosting provider.

    My email is mine.

  7. In the real world, companies running company towns would severely underpay their workers, and then fleece them on prices at the company stores, hotels and restaurants, the only places that would accept company scrip.

    You have to be real goddamn deep in corporate pockets to even think that would somehow improve worker's rights and influence over the company.

    I grew up in the countryside, I saw plenty of animals being put down and slaughtered. Heck, I even poked at pig carcasses with a stick, for fun. I still eat meat, but I'm not a fanatic about it or anything.

    I think more people should learn and observe where their food comes from. Not just meat, I mean everything. Especially processed food. If they're OK with something, they can eat it. If they freak out, they're free to avoid that food in the future. But at least they've been informed.

    Absolutely. I certainly hope no one eats meat specifically because they want more animals to be slaughtered. We eat meat because we like the taste (and texture and other properties). If that can be replicated in a reasonable way using a vegetarian method instead, I'm 100% for that and certainly wouldn't mind ordering it regularly.

    Minced meat like hamburgers is a good first effort to tackle, because it's much easier than replicating all the features of a steak. Make vegetarian lasagna or bolognese with currently available stuff like quorn or Naturli' or something, and I bet most people wouldn't notice. Burger patties are a bit more complicated, but Impossible Foods seem to have it handled pretty well.

    Replicating roast beef or ribeye or a pork chop is going to be more complicated, but it's an interesting problem to tackle.

  10. Re:We need more of this ... on Impossible Burgers' Key, Bloody Ingredient Wins FDA Approval (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I object to the term "meat junkies", as I don't think anyone is actually addicted to meat.

    For me, I like the taste of a burger. If I can get the same taste without meat, that's great! That's what the impossible burger promises, and I would love to give it a go.

  11. The biggest thing about the Impossible Burger is that it shows you can make a burger that tastes like a burger, without using beef. The target market is not vegetarians/vegans, as I presume they're already well-satisfied with portobello mushrooms and chickpea patties, or similar alternatives. They have plenty of veg* choices that play on their ingredients' own strengths, instead of trying to imitate meat.

    For the people who like the taste of burgers, but would prefer not to contribute to factory farming practices or have other ethical reasons, this is a good alternative. Personally, I don't care if my burger has beef or not, or whether it has real bacon or not. If it tastes like it has beef or bacon (or sufficiently similar), bring it on. I love the taste of a burger, but it is absolutely not a requirement for me that it actually contains beef. If they can give me the same taste without using beef, bring it on!

  12. They were also very protective of their design, and refused to license it, or sell tubes to other TV manufacturers.

  13. Bang & Olufsen used to have a reputation for simply rebadging Philips TVs. Sure, they used Philips tubes, but that was because Philips was one of the best CRT makers in the business. Everything else was B&O designed and built.

    However when it came to plasma TVs in particular, in some cases they literally took a Panasonic plasma display (meant for use with an external control box), glued aluminum trim to the front and supplied their own control box. And charged 5-10x as much for it as the exact same panel from Panasonic.

It's an Eizo FlexScan EV2416W and it just locks on perfectly to the test pattern at lagom.nl that I use for auto sync on VGA-connected monitors.

    I only have two DP ports on my laptop dock, and I like having three monitors. So two on DP and one on VGA is necessary. I know there are DisplayPort MST "hubs", but I haven't had any luck with those.

  17. The nazis actually wanted to end nationalized health care, which had actually been instituted in the 1870s, long before the nazi party. Hitler wanted to do this relatively early, but was met with resistance, so they didn't try to abolish it again until the late 1930s. And obviously, any healthcare during the reich was only available to "pure aryans".

    So you've got it completely backwards.

    So how are the NsDAP and the DNC different? How about in every single goddamn way, you ignorant neo-con shill?

    His crime was attempting to short-circuit the legal protections of the suspect in an ongoing court case. That is contempt of court, and realistically actually contempt for the entire legal system. Something which the legal system does not look lightly upon.

    You may disagree with their decisions, but that is not the right way to change things.

    Tommy Robinson breached a reporting ban (his second offense of this type). This type of ban is typically put in place in order to prevent mob justice and harassment of suspects who are still not convicted, in cases of a sensitive nature.

    Would you want your name and face live streamed to Facebook, simply for being the suspect in a trial, where you may or may not be guilty?

    Tommy Robinson tried to short-circuit the legal system, including the protections put in place for suspects who are yet to be convicted. In other words he tried to impose his own personal judgment on a case in which he has absolutely no right to interfere. Not to mention that this is the second time he's done so, hence the harsher punishment this time. Tommy Robinson is a radicalized extremist who apparently thinks he is above the law. He is not.

    National socialism (nationalsozialismus) != socialism.

    You cannot simply split up the word into "national" and "socialism" and then consider each word separately, because it's supposed to be one word in its native language, where the definition comes from. English doesn't do conjugated verbs, which leads to this silly (or intentional, by idiots) misunderstanding.

    It should be "nationalsocialism", which is distinct from both "nationalism" and "socialism".

    But I bet you already knew that, and you're just being a dumbass.
