Fake 'meat' made from ingredients such as quorn, soya or veg is no panacea, but after getting used to Quorn mince, minced beef now tastes a little, erm 'metallic', or at least strange in some way. For those who don't like the taste of liver, it's a little like that, though less extreme.
I don't want to have the taste of meat. Nor do I want the slightly cardboardy taste of current "veg meat" foods (though it is improving).
Instead, I want something which combines the best aspects of the flavours of both real meat and fake meat.
Only fake meat can even attempt to reach that solution, or at least can offer a far bigger variety of flavours than real meat could hope to offer.
Information is not racist in itself. If it turns out that gene research shows that some types of people are more intelligent or more creative than others, so what? Should we censor that? Heck, even people WITHIN a particular culture tend to be more intelligent, faster or stronger than others within that culture. That's not under doubt, but it's how we can act on that information that determines whether it's racist or not.
I just use one plate/bowl/spoon/fork/knife for myself, rinse them each time after use and only bother with multiple dishes/cutlery when visitors/family/friends are round. Saves space, looks tidier, and when you include the fixed time costs, is probably around equal or better to using a dishwasher.
For years and years, I've put up with ads. Yes, I heard you guys talk about AdBlock here and elsewhere, but I've always learnt to ignore them, even fairly distracting ones.
Then came the really "in your face" ads with automatic audio, giant sizes, and irremovable ones which obscured content. Irritating, but not a deal breaker. I've got a thick skin, or so I thought. I can deal with all that crap, especially if it helps pay for the site's bandwidth (though I never bother with ads personally, at least not consciously).
End of story right? Oh no,.... they just had to go further didn't they.
Then came the ones that suck up all my CPU, losing me money in electricity, heating up the CPU (so I can't have the fan quieter), and generally causing the PC to slow down. I like to open up many tabs in my browser, and this easily eats up the CPU in all four of my CPU cores. Same with the two cores on my laptop.
Since I realized what was happening more clearly, I now hate the ad networks of course, and also hate the CPU management in Chrome and other browsers (Shift+ESC is oaky, but no maximum CPU limit for each process?), and you know what? I even hate Windows for not allowing better/easier CPU management/priority of the processes. Yes, no ability to throttle the percentage of CPU used for a process, let alone be able to define the limits independently for each process. And yes I know there are various apps, but not having this feature by default is insane, and so typical of the mindset at Microsoft.
I installed AdRemover for Chrome (higher rated than Adblock by the looks of it), and have never looked back.
A design problem would concern me more. That would show they have more fundamental issues with the safety of the rocket. A quality issue like this can be overcome more easily, and is at least the vendor's fault in part.
Before you immediately say 'no', I would be very interested to know what the distribution actually is in this case. It may closer to normal than you think.
We can still have booms and busts since the probability can veer towards either extreme but not be guaranteed. But it may still be the wisest position for the knowledge known at the time.
If it was really based on mass delusion, then you should be able to profit from it greatly. Chances are you're not better than most at predicting how the stock market will go.
The 'minor annoyance' multiplied by millions of people makes this more serious than bank robbery, and even more serious than murder if you're forced to put a price on a life.
Promotions and tours are great for songs with words and people who are prepared to get up on stage and move about in a funny way with a microphone to their month.
You're forgetting the countless incredible pieces of music which is instrumental/synthesized only.
If you apply that logic generally, you could say Microsoft tried to kill Windows by trying to force Metro upon everyone..Net is the good part; Metro however can dive off a cliff.

I remember comparing chips cooked in vegetable oil versus the leftover meat fat. The oil versions tasted far purer, without the weird taste the other chips had.
The bottom line direct from NASA is that there's a 12% chance every decade (or 72% chance every century if you do the math) of a direct hit from the sun. Such an event could send us back to the middle ages, or at least cause widespread destruction and panic (no water, electricity, transport, etc. for days, weeks, possibly months, and all or most computer circuitry, including SSDs (though not optical media) would be frazzled).
I'm going to temper that apocalyptic-looking premise with a quote from that NASA article which may provide a little... comfort.
The worst geomagnetic storm of the Space Age, which knocked out power across Quebec in March 1989, registered Dst=-600 nT. Modern estimates of Dst for the Carrington Event itself range from -800 nT to a staggering -1750 nT.
So, that's 'only' up to 3x as bad as an event that happened in 1989, and we seemed to have got through that okay (their power was cut for 11 hours apparently).
Maybe even NASA is over-reacting a bit on this then..... But like CO2 emissions, it's best not to take the chance. It is possible to protect the grid to a large extent if the world cared enough the risk. I think we're talking in the range of $billions of investment to save $trillions of damage when the inevitable happens (definitely a question of when, rather than if).

Careful, at this rate, we might have to put a price to a human life (or even the human race) which is not very PC.

Does livestock account for more than 50% of the CO2 emissions? If so, then meat-eaters owe us some cash too ;)

Goodbye ads forever.
Wow, I think we've found someone who breathes big data!
Ah I see I was whooshed. Surprised I missed it tbh.
Except when it's absolutely essential to force power off occasionally.
In most cases a 1000 ms operation.
That seems terrible that we have to wait for a second, even assuming we're talking about NAND rather than RAM-speed here.
You're right. One is for people who don't care about efficiency, quality or speed.
A design problem would concern me more. That would show they have more fundamental issues with the safety of the rocket. A quality issue like this can be overcome more easily, and is at least the vendor's fault in part.
Before you immediately say 'no', I would be very interested to know what the distribution actually is in this case. It may closer to normal than you think.
Don't forget that only 24fps is needed for super smooth motion!
You're right - it's twelve, not seven.

Here's a video of aforementioned lava: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Looks dangerous. At least with normal lava, you can walk on it if you're quick enough.
Decent chords and chord combinations and intricate rhythms count for a lot you know.
And for music which isn't performed but sequenced?
