Thank you, that's very interesting. The spread seems to be so much larger than in Europe.

Thank you for responding and putting up with me. :) You are right, visiting India and having a look would not provide data to base policy decisions on or anything like that. I didn't mean to imply that. It would be enough for me to for

Yes. Any centralization/single point of failure developing on the internet is a bug.

This is hilarious. I love the humor of our neighbors to the east. :)

Thank you for that link, very interesting! For some reason it hasn't occurred to me to Google the guy who Pollan admires so much in the book.

Interesting. I think it would be even easier to see whether the article is lying or not. Just go to India, visit many different regions and have a look what the shops and restaurants frequented by locals sell. In my opinion, there is no poi

Damn auto complete. That should be "you can find a ton of videos".

I read The Omnivores Dilemma and share your believe that this kind of farming seems fine. I don't know whether this would work for feeding the entire planet. Right now, farms like this are an exception anyway. In my experience, only co

Is it really? So this article is wrong? http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-43581122 And when you say vegetarian, do you mean vegan? I don't know what real Indian food is, but the Indian food I have seen (a

Sorry. It didn't seem so bad to me, just a bit too much pathos maybe, as I wrote. I didn't want to spend more time rewording my comment. Of course the second paragraph is only my opinion. Just ignore it if it bothers you.

I learned how bad the conditions are in animal factories and I don't want anything to do with it. If you look at these conditions and feel no compassion for the animals, then I won't try to change your mind. I also don't cons

You mean eating only plants is not in our nature and it might be harmful for us? That should be relatively easy to validate by observing a lot of long time vegans. Eating soy beans is not in the nature of cows or fish but we smart cookies m

The problem with healthy eating is that you get five opinions when you ask two experts. However, you can't find a ton of videos on YouTube with plausible sounding explanations why a plant-based diet is healthiest. Just watch those and

Not all land is the same. But I don't think it's about land use. It's about water usage, soil and water contamination, deforestation, greenhouse gas emission and the inefficient conversion of plant calories to animal calories

by passiveincomelg 8y ago
To me it would be ideal if plant based food was the default and animal products an expensive luxury. Not unaffordable, let's say a dish with meat costs about twice as much as a vegan dish in most restaurants. But I would already be per

Are the numbers in the article assumptions?

Yes, and the browser should be enough in many cases, but the holder of that information tries to force their app on everyone. One of the most annoying examples of that for me is accepting a new connection on LinkedIn from my phone. I want t

I complain about low salaries for permanent positions all the time, but you can definitely do better than 45k. A programmer with a few years of experience should be able to get 60-75k without too much trouble.

They always find some loophole. Often it's some kind of construction work like "improving isolation". AFAIK the rent control laws also don't apply for furnished flats.

Find a hammock in Nicaragua. Worked great for me. :)

I think we will become numb to it like we became numb to war, hunger and all the other atrocities happening in many places at the same-ish time.

"Some kind of meat", yes. I can't imagine it to be of high quality, so hesitate to call it "proper". AFAIK the main noticable difference is whether the kebab is made of ground meat or not. The latter being more expe

Are you saying CAFO meat is more expensive than grass-fed?

It's a little further east than Ukraine et al but I absolutely love the Taiwanese dumpling chain Ba Fang Yun Ji Dumplings ( https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g13808671-d101... ).

From the article: "But it’s not just the taste, large portions or affordability – costing anywhere between €4.50 to €14." I haven't seen a 14 Euro Doener anywhere, but I'm sure they exist. But 4.50 is definitely not the

Agreed, nobody reads code. Also nobody considers "debuggability" when picking languages/libraries/frameworks/etc.

How is that "parasitic"? Participating in investment banking, surveillance capitalism, weapons manufacturing and lots of other fields where these salaries are payed are much worse for society than sitting on the beach (IMHO obv).
