Yeah, the global hegemon can always do a “rules for thee, not for me” thing. It’s like trying to fine a king for a parking violation.

Honestly, if they make it with upgradable RAM, M2 SSD and GPU you’re essentially buying 1 and getting gen 2 and 3 for 50% off.

How people see the US as “the good guys” is beyond me. The only thing they had going was defending the rules based global order but that is now becoming less relevant in favor of power politics.

Yeah, people don’t want it if they know it has bugs in it. That’s why you have to put it under some alias such as the Latin name under ingredients only. Putting “it has bugs” on the label is pretty much the opposite of what you should do because then you only target like 0.1% of the population.

Later on you could make an “organic” version “with real insect keratin” or whatever.

I read the summary and I half agree. They draw the conclusion based on the insects not being consumed directly but if they would be it’s a whole another ball game.

The thing is that nobody has tried to make protein bars from processed finely ground insects and marketed it as keratin protein bars. Maybe even fried bug-nuggets and just call them nuggets to save money or anything else that is not just directly eating tiny crispy legs that get stuck in the teeth.

If there’s a protein bar with bugs and chocolate that’s cheaper than whey bars I’d buy it every now and then. If it would be sold in a fast food shops in a homogeneous fried blob I’d also try it out of curiosity.

It reminds me of this one. Sure you could make a case for selection based on breeding qualities but that’s a huge investment for just looking good. I think this guys take is more plausible.

I mean, look at the super chonky neck bones.

US culture varies a lot by state to state, YMMV.

I want to get another map which includes rules for guests. In some countries it’s shoes off unless you’re a guest.

Just as a side note that gas power plants capture two types of energy, both the expansion of the burned gas and the heat. This is why they’re now more popular for new builds than oil.

Everything in Debian just works, but people are looking for more features than Debian offers out of the box.

I can see why people would want Debian if they’ve been burned couple of times by distros that move very fast and break stuff.

Like ham and cheese in a restaurant.

Yeah, cooking rice without a rice cooker makes the cooking a lot more intense IMO. I really like the “set and forget” aspect of rice cookers so I can spend more time on chopping and cooking on a pan.

My tip is rice for calories, veggies for nutrition, dry beans/chicken for protein. Frozen veggies can get very cheap.

Potatoes are also super good and allow for a lot of variety. To make something tasty like mashed it does require butter and milk.

Side tip for rice, rice cookers are pretty cheap and save you plenty of time. You just toss in rice, water and salt in the correct quantities and good rice comes out. You can also make whole meals with it by putting some oil and frozen veggies.

For taste spices are key and big quantities of spice don’t cost much per dish. It takes some experimenting but once you get a hang of it it becomes very nice and easy. Garlic/onion powder, cayenna pepper, salt and pepper improve almost every dish.

One caveat is that seed oils are just not healthy so if the budget allows for olive oil, butter or coconut it’s better.

Sounds expensive :/

I’m pulling this from some random place in my head but horses have a strict hierarchy. There’s a head horse that runs first and people became the head horse. This is in stark contrast to zebras that don’t give a shit and cause chaos.

I respect a bro powerleveling his finances.

We’re up to 4% again 5% is back on the menu which will make 2026 also the year of the Linux desktop.

I don’t understand why you’d want to wear these for all activities. I’m very happy plugging in a wired over ear headphones with mic for work and leaving them there.

I’m sometimes surprised of how few people play indie games. I’m playing Neon White now and having a blast.

I want to recommend a bidet shower head. It’s super easy to set up and you use your current toilet bowl and down have to shuffle to another bowl to get the job done.

One added benefit is that if you get a nasty shit you can hose down the toilet with water and in some cases it helps with cleaning the shower.
