Green beans stir-fried with tofu or something are great. Could also try broccoli stir-fried; if you manage to cook them just enough that they still have some snap, they're great.

Asparagus painted with butter, grilled, then served with lemon juice squeezed over them are heavenly.

Spinach I only like fresh so I sympathize.

Yup. We have several-hundred-year-old medieval French recipes specifying 'the juice of the almond' if cow milk is not available.

'Greed is an unlimited resource' absolutely slaps.

So you actually count by segments of the finger, using your thumb as a tapper. Crook your index finger and look at it - three segments, right? (At least for most people) The segment nearest your hand is 1, middle is 2, end is 3. Middle finger is 4, 5, 6, etc. So you can count up to 12 on four fingers.

Then you use your non-dominant hand to mark dozens. Count to 12 on your main hand, raise on finger on your second hand, repeat. So you can actually count to 60 just on your hands.

It ain’t the emissions, it's the land use. About 40% of the USA's land is used for animal agriculture. Another 8% is for literally all the other crops. Stop eating meat, and we could return about a third of the land in the US to nature, or other uses. That's a lot of carbon capture / solar power plants etc.

Alright, everyone post your opinions.

I think Base 12 is superior to Base 10 for human use.

We could get most of the way to stopping climate change by just not eating meat.

Also, I liked Mass Effect 3 more than 1 or 2.

Oh no! This dastardly Europeans wanted to come here and work! How dare they! Deport them!

This country was cooked a long time ago.

So it's an even better use case for high-speed rail, is what you're saying.

Thanks, I hate it.

Oh so they're LLMs, got it.

...thay actually makes a lot of things nake a lot of sense.

Well shit, I'm dumb.

China limits social media because they repress free speech and political association. TikTok and other social media was a huge part of why there was such an outcry over the invasion of Ukraine and the genocide in Gaza. They doubly limit what kids can see because students are often hugely influential in political activism - especially in China, where students were an integral part of both the revolution(s) and Tiananmen Square. China's gov is pants-shittingly terrified of another student-led revolution/crisis/etc and keep a very close watch on what the kids are saying and seeing.
