Out of interest, which would you choose on balance in a scenario in which the lab meat tasted the same, cost the same and came with the same food safety aspects?

30 year pescetarian here. I mean, mainly vegetarian but some fish every so often. I gave up meat at 17 on the basis of no reason whatsoever, I was just a contrary teen who liked giving things up. Down the line a few years I find so many com

This is the myth that the brexiteers sold the nation. And it's pretty much all bulls t. See this thread for a pretty well done and amusing takedown https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1087360379691380736.html

We're basically in the position we were in before Brexit only now it's more expensive and difficult to trade with Europe, it's more expensive and difficult to travel to or work in Europe, and it's stretched the Northern

We notice it here in Cornwall, UK. Most of the time everyone is super friendly, lots of hellos and smiles between people you see in the street, even strangers. Then it's holiday season and the place fills up with visitors - there'

Humans had better stop farting. There's literally no way the aliens will take us seriously if we continue filling up with gas and having to let it out with a comedy sound.

One of the main reasons why excessive mobile phone use (of the sort exhibited by most western humans nowadays) is madness.

Conflating "media" and "content" is the issue here. Facebook is successful because of content. Google+ failed because there wasn't any content. Heading tech up against content in some way is also a silly argument. G

"It’s a no brainer that the search engine giant will be compelled to bring a similar anti-ad tracking feature on Android to keep the mobile ecosystem in sync." Is this a no-brainer? I don't know the intricacies of the industr

I've loved Firefox for years. There's also been a bug that I've never been able to track down: clicking on dropdowns doesn't "stick" and it take multiple tries to select something. Today I finally cracked. I ju

I like it. Friction a bit higher than the method I use now: Telegram Saved Messages. But still cool, thanks for sharing.

Be great to see your search on there. I was admiring the speed and accuracy on the post you put on the other day...

Homelessness breaks my heart. If there's a more poignant indicator of how bad inequality has got, I don't know what it is. In London as in any big city you see homelessness existing next to massive, opulent, hugely flaunted wealth

Thing is, I just don't see the point. There's plenty enough really great tasting vegetarian food already, and meat substitutes if you need that sort of thing. From a sciencey pov it's fascinating but I'm not sure I get t

Sure, and interestingly you've made my point in one way as I was arguing it elsewhere in this thread, namely that more expensive products from companies like Apple are likely to come under more scrutiny from an ethical POV. I do highly

Amen. I'm still in the "why on earth use all that React/Vue/HipsterEtc STUFF to do a simple web page?" camp. I get it for anything resembling an app, I really do - and I'm in awe of the people who can make web

For sure, but you could reasonably claim that higher end manufacturers at least get slightly more attention from an oversight POV. Although not a direct correlation you could probably make some connection reasonably well between expense of

I see no way anyone could make this bit of hardware this cheaply without some pretty nasty exploitation going on somewhere up the chain. Count me out.
