It would take very little incentive to make me agree not to publicly criticize some small business. But it would take more than that.

We already have butter free of cruelty and violence that tastes and functions just the same. You don’t use it because you don’t give a fuck about cruelty and violence to vulnerable individuals living in atrocity. I don’t use it because it’s still not good for you.

It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that appropriately planned vegetarian, including vegan, diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. These diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, and for athletes. Plant-based diets are more environmentally sustainable than diets rich in animal products because they use fewer natural resources and are associated with much less environmental damage. Vegetarians and vegans are at reduced risk of certain health conditions, including ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, certain types of cancer, and obesity. Low intake of saturated fat and high intakes of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, soy products, nuts, and seeds (all rich in fiber and phytochemicals) are characteristics of vegetarian and vegan diets that produce lower total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and better serum glucose control. These factors contribute to reduction of chronic disease. Vegans need reliable sources of vitamin B-12, such as fortified foods or supplements.

Animal ag doesn’t produce food, it consumes it.

Wait, what is dust doing to my precious clothing? Should I be alarmed? I’m going to be until you tell me otherwise.
- Comment on Black Holes 3 weeks ago:
You are describing a Schwarzschild black hole. I am describing a Kerr black hole.
Schwarzchild black holes may not exist in reality, though it is thought that rotational energy could sometimes be removed from a Kerr black hole through natural processes resulting in a Schwarzchild black hole.

- Comment on Black Holes 3 weeks ago:
It is, and you won’t believe what happens!
- Comment on Black Holes 3 weeks ago:
okay what does infinite density mean in avant-garde mechanics?
- Comment on Black Holes 3 weeks ago:
Keep in mind that all the cliches about black holes are about non-rotating black holes, which don’t exist in reality. In reality, a spinning black hole has a ring singularity, not a point, and behaves much weirder and even less intuitively than the hypothetical non-rotating counterpart as it smears out spacetime into taffy.
- Comment on Black Holes 3 weeks ago:
All of the rest of the physics seems to check out, though
You know, except for the actual singularity

There are no naked singularities

What’s he getting away with, exactly? The value that we get from him dwarfs whatever you think he’s getting out of us.

That’s the nicest thing anyone ever said to me.
- Comment on Gamers have you ever been in a game competition or something similar? 4 weeks ago:
In the 80s I went to a public event featuring the California Joy Stick; “Joy” referring to the brand of dish soap. There’s probably a more common name for it. It’s a device made of a large fabric loop on a stick with a nut for holding the loop open. You dip it in a solution of water, dish soap, and glycerine, and then open the loop to the breeze or walk with it. You can create bubbles tens of metres long, and wide and tall enough for a person to stand inside. I’m surprised it isn’t still a thing people do, you could easily make one.
There was a bubble making competition. Most of the competitors seemed to be quite casual, but most of them found it fairly easy to be competitive.

- Comment on What do you think is the largest number a human can actually grasp / truly comprehend? 4 weeks ago:
There’s also conflation with the number of “chunks” we can hold in mind at a time, which is often estimated at about seven things. But that doesn’t mean we don’t comprehend what eight is.
Numbers are DEEP. You can’t just know things about a number, you have to discover them empirically, experimentally. Every number has essentially infinite properties and you can’t know everything about a number, but you get a familiarity with them. Still, even the simplest numbers have the capacity to surprise in the right context.
