It is very difficult to imagine a vegan diet for cats that has enough plant-sourced protein while remaining palatable. Most commercial cat food is far too high in carbohydrates and is usually high in fat. This increases the palatability and

Your core argument has, from my view, morphed from "inflation hurts the poor and downtrodden" to "inflation hurts those with a fixed income". My questions are: Why must widows or orphans or anyone have a fixed income? Wh

I'm sure in the 15th century, I'd be a lowly peasant, barely able to read and blissfully unaware of Earth's shape. I'm not royalty or something in this life.

Thanks, "Covid was NWO population control" is my new favorite crazy-person Covid theory. It now beats the #2, "Covid isn't real but it was created by the Chinese government". Wake up, Sheeple!

The point of a fiat is that it slowly loses value, so wealth holders can't get bigger and bigger just by holding the fiat, they are forced to invest to break even. Bitcoin is not "fixing" anything here, a currency that deflat

This is sort of what GPUs do, since a GPU driver is essentially a big JIT compiler. Branching is very expensive compared to CPUs. Remember that 95%+ of branches of predicted successfully, and CPUs work on more stable ISAs.

Yes, and a part of this context is that Lone Star invokes images of the old state of Texas. When they lean into this, if they are not careful, they lean into some really awful events. It's not the same as the same pun on a bottle of Sn

Hey, as a fellow Lone Star drinker, I really don't think it's possible to separate the noose from its history, particularly in our great state. Sure, it's just a pun, but for many people it conjures a very particular image. T
