I think it’s a matter of judicious use. I use a lot of tamari/soy sauce when I cook, but not enough that the food tastes overly of it. It’s the savoriness I want, not the actual flavor. Same with tomato paste - roast it in the oven so

So because humans started exploiting them, obviously we can’t stop. Right.
123.
by bavent 5y ago
Because everything on this planet and beyond exists only for humans to exploit and use up? That’s a very narrow take on things.

I don’t think you’ve had the right vegan food. Some is disgusting, just like some meat-based foods are (fermented shark?). Some can be made really well. I’m not a vegan but I’ve noticed what’s missing in it a lot of them is umami - savorine

I remember having to set up a firewall rule to drop or reroute all DNS queries through my PiHole. What a pain in the ass to have to jump through hoops for a device I paid over $1k for.

I mean, there are? Is the same amount of product being delivered? Does it actually increase when the work week goes down to four days? Have you ever worked anywhere where metrics are tracked?

Can you provide some evidence of that?

Neither do people who make blanket statements about people making blanket statements.

No, they are all individual beautiful little snowflakes, except they converge on agreeing on one thing. Thinking vaccines cause $X and also are vaguely linked to other things that aren’t proven. I’m criticizing them for that one thing, that

Lazy people like me? I’ve tried engaging with anti-vaxxers. It’s completely unproductive. Every single time. When I’ve tried something a hundred times and get the same result, why bother continuing to try? I’m also not trying to have a prod

They aren’t trying to start a productive discussion. Anti-vaxxers don’t approach debates in good faith. They tend to drop long-winded comments that vaguely link together different conspiracies and anecdotal bits of “evidence” but then never

Well that solves that.

> left wing sources The NY Times is NOT left wing, it is liberal. Same with CNN. Also, the Times article says he moved away to get a fresh start. Do you believe a person is ALWAYS a junkie or criminal? I've been to jail. Does that m

> I did not get that. Do I need to know him personally to know that he has junkie and a criminal? Yes, since you only seem to know what right wing media tells you. Rush Limbaugh was also a junkie and a criminal by those standards, yet he

Yeah no thanks. “Junkie criminal” as if you knew him personally. And to think the protests were about a single person - clearly you don’t care enough to be informed. I am of the opinion that you should not be on the side of nazis, ever. Sid

Shinto was in Japan before Buddhism. Zen took on a little bit of Shinto when it came over as Cha’an from China. In most Zen temples, there are a few statues of Shinto deities, but neither is an offshoot of the other.

> Sorry, I could not understand that phrase. Who is getting killed, and what I equate to what? People were out protesting the murders of black men by police, and you refer to them as looters and rioters in your prior comments - along wit

I wouldn't characterize HN as left-leaning. Maybe liberal with a dash of libertarian techbro thrown in. Also to quote you: "I would hope CEO to protect someone saying “be safe from rioters and looters in BLM marches”, but that won

Somehow I just knew if I looked back in your comment history, I would find some racism, and an impressive amount of dead/flagged comments. Take the hint dude, a lot of people think you're wrong, a lot. This doesn't mean you&#

Tell that to my 30-year-old sister - who still has migraines and extreme fatigue a year after catching covid, who was healthy, an avid runner, and had no preexisting conditions before.

It's called "not being as intelligent as you claim to be in your opening comment" I believe.

But ideas of what is “just” change and the justice system is often slow to react. Sometimes things that are technically unjust (banning gay marriage) are allowed. Slavery was once legal. Justice system at the time said so. Also, as an anecd

She’s not a she. Not a he. Disgusting behavior is pronoun-free though, and she is not a good person apparently regardless of her gender identity.

I'm a big fan of mutation testing and I've converted a few other devs I've worked with to it. I use a tool called Stryker Mutator in C# and JavaScript/TypeScript to automate the bug-injection. It adds a little bit of ove

I actually found this a while back and loved it. I get to see perspectives I wouldn’t normally seek out, and to see their arguments for a position I wouldn’t ever see in my filter bubble, so thanks!

Ah so it's the "Nigerian Prince" scam, basically?

I’m sorry, I don’t really follow. Could you explain a little bit more?

I don't buy that. For example - I bought a rowing machine on Amazon. It was the first piece of home gym equipment I'd ever purchased. For months after, other rowing machines were suggested to me. I already bought one, why would I
