I remember watching that P4A a few years ago. The bean thing was hilarious. And then Lemmy did a version of it… talk about meme synchronicity. Pretty great.

Sure. How much weight does that have when Sacramento decides to run a water pipeline from Capilano to eastern Washington or whatever?

God we have trouble enough with Toronto thinking it’s the centre of the world and ignoring BC. We’d have zero influence in Cascadia.

If anime can be child porn, so is this. Gross.
- Comment on I know I get excited when I see NFLD mentioned 3 weeks ago:
I get unreasonably excited when I see Vancouver, as Vancouver, on TV. It’s everywhere, but only rarely as the setting.
Family Law and Continuum are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head. There was a Brent Butt sitcom a whole back.

- Comment on Beyond Beef? Impossible Beef? I Can't Believe It's Not Beef? 3 weeks ago:
I quite like both Impossible and Beyond burgers. Honestly, better than a lot of the shitty fast food Styrofoam “meat” they try to pass off.

No visible mold. I’d pour off the hooch, put it through a couple feeding cycles, and see how it smells.

- Comment on If I wanted to bury a hard drive for archival purposes (e.g. Country becoming Dictatorship), how to keep the contents from being damaged and where is the safest place to bury it? 5 weeks ago:
A raid6 array across a collection of separate disks might do it.

Not difficult, or even expensive, to find a working 20 year old machine with a 3.5" FDD. Also I work at a library and we keep a couple of well bagged USB floppy drives around for profs who occasionally need data retrieval. Hasn’t happened in a couple years though. We also have an old Dell for 5.25".

Trying to avoid microplastics. I have yet to find a scrub brush that isn’t plastic bristles. So i use dishcloths.
- Comment on In racoon we trust 1 month ago:
I am more or less neutral on most recycling. Separating metals us a good idea, glass pretty neutral (it’s basically a rock and expensive to crush and recycle - much better to reuse). Separating plastics is probably worse than useless.
Separating organics, however, has immediate benefits. It’s so nice having trash that doesn’t stink to high heaven, and it almost eliminates the raccoon and rat problem. Municipal compost is one of the best public investments imo. Yes, it can be gross, but it concentrates the gross and makes it much simpler to deal with.

Make bigger coins. Toonies are still useful.
- Comment on Real milk proteins, no cows: Engineered bacteria pave the way for vegan cheese and yogurt 1 month ago:
Sometimes! Lactose is not easily fermentable, so it leaves residual sugars and a unique silky feel. Mostly in darker beers, like milk stouts or chocolate porters.
- Comment on Real milk proteins, no cows: Engineered bacteria pave the way for vegan cheese and yogurt 1 month ago:
Lactose has a specific mouthfeel in beers, so I buy it would change cheeses dramatically.
