And I’m saying that I don’t like the meat replacers.

Nowhere in any of my comments have I suggested a “meat replacer” even a single time.

This is why I’m snarky with you. Because you keep pretending I’ve said things that I haven’t.

None the less, in my first post I spesifically pointed out that I am not looking for “just remove meat”, which was the point. And your answer was “well these foods are good if you just remove the meat”.

I know what you asked. But no, that is not what I said.

I did not say “remove the meat”. I pointed out that all these meals are vegetarian until you add the meat. None of them are intrinsically meat-based.

This is EXACTLY what I mean when I say you need a change of mindset, if you actually want to try.

However, I find that the modern vegetarian cousine has stagnated because of the need to sell “meatlesd meat”.

I have no idea where you are looking, but nothing could be further from the truth. Vegetarian options have flourished because more people are moving to a meat-free diet.

I have tried a lot of “vegan options”, and as said, I am not looking to turn vegan. That is why I can decide NOT to compromise when it comes to meat.

And of course, you think pretty much every vegan dish is a compromise, and so you will continue to not try. Convenient!

And if you want to convert people to veganism, you need to change of mindset.

Bite me :)

A recipe is a start.

I’ve suggested three already, I’m sorry you have trouble reading.

This is why people who eat mainly meat don’t even consider vegan food.

No, the reason is that you have invented a false history to justify not even trying.

There are entire cultures where eating meat is either a rare occasion, or simply never done, even though they have access to meat and livestock.

People eat what they had available. Sometimes that was meat, many times it wasn’t.

Just one recipe. Is that too much?

A simple vegetable soup is easy and nutritious. Most curries are vegetable-first and only become non-vegetarian by choosing to add meat instead of something like lentils or checkpeas. Vegetable lasagna is decadent and satisfying.

There are near-infinite recipes available of food that is plant-based and tastes good. But you have this list of exclusionary factors where you have decided that various meals “should” have meat, and therefore a meat-free version has made a replacement, and is therefore inferior and you aren’t going to try it.

You don’t need a recipe, you need a change of mindset.

Whatever. Good luck to you.

There are vegetable versions of every “incorporated” meal where all the ingredients are mixed together, like pasta, soup, curry, stir-fry, etc… And for every other meal, the meat portion is easily replaceable with another portion of vegetables.

Going vegetarian really is as simple as “don’t put meat in it”. Just take it off the ingredient list. Meals do not naturally contain meat, so if you don’t add any, they won’t have any. It’s not something to be “substituted” unless you are wanting to mimic a specific meal.

Nobody at Google has heard of the concept that controls at the edge of the screen are harder to aim accurately at.

Interestingly, that’s the exact opposite of how it works on non-touch interfaces. The edges are prime control areas for pointer-driven interfaces.

Slight challenge to optimise a UX for both.

The system doesn’t actually require any collaboration to eventually become a two-party race. It’s pretty much statistically assured if voters behave rationally, but with limited information.

Well, sorta but also not really.

Neither party seems to have any interest in reforming the voting system to something more representative. So in that way I guess you could say they are colluding, but more reasonably they simply share a common incentive.

But it really is the system itself that makes third party candidates basically impossible. It incentivises people to vote strategically, not for the party they want but rather against the party they don’t want. That system is eventually sure to collapse into a two-party system.

Wild how he doesn’t even mention the possibility of voting for a third party.

Why would he? The US voting system makes third party candidates an impossibility. It’s not a viable option.

Salaries in Japan are fairly low. Though that is offset by a comparatively low cost-of-living.

Additionally, depending on when the currency conversions were done, the yen tanked dramatically in the last few years, leading to salaries appearing even lower when converted to dollars.

Immediately has to pee.

Because conservatives do not actually care about reducing the number of abortions that happen. If they cared about that, they would be all-in on affordable access to contraceptives and comprehensive sex education. Which they also, as a movement, oppose.

Conservatives do not care about reducing the number of abortions. They care about punishing the women who get them.

Yeah buddy that’s what getting a loan is. Except in reality, you get them from the bank.

I'm sorry do you expect us to take this seriously?

I genuinely struggle to believe that people can be gullible enough to believe this nonsense.

Is this going to impact their ability to offer region-specific pricing?

I have my complaints about Agile, but a bit different from this list. Teams I’ve worked in have generally tried to spec in quality control measures into story points, to prevent some of the issues mentioned, for example.

My issue is almost always just that the top half of the organisation does not, and will never, conceptualise a software project like agile demands. Business will always want X scope within Y time. And Agile demands that at least one of those to be variable. The backlog represents scope organised by time. Want X features complete? Check the backlog to see when they’ll be done. Want to deliver after Y time? Check the backlog to see what features will likely be ready by that time.

But business will not accept that. They have scope requirements and deadlines to deliver within.

If it’s conspiracy theories in general, and not just the soy thing, then I think you might be taking the wrong approach. Just trying to debunk the soy thing might prove impossible because there is some underlying cause that is making him want to believe it.

Your friend might be being radicalised. By a person he trusts, a community he is a part of, or simply by the algorithm of a website he is spending his time on. In which case, getting him to let go of the conspiracies is going to be extremely difficult, because to do so would lose him those connections.

It doesn’t sound like he’s too far gone though. Maybe reasserting healthy connections will help, and if you can try breaking his media habits.

I doubt I’m going to write much code on a controller I’m afraid.

I am looking specifically for a single device for travelling with. But the built in controllers of the Steamdeck are just a little too goofy for me to give it much serious consideration.

A tablet form-factor Steamdeck? I’d be sold.

If you like the hardware of one of the others more. I think the Legion Go looks pretty sweet. Wonder if it could make a good daily driver even.
