Corn and beans go together quite well, give it a try!

Oh, no need to apologize, I fully agree with your overall view on AI data centers, and your observations of how politicians don't even nominally stand against climate change anymore. It's just become very blatant very rapidly, and it's easiest to see with data centers.

The way people prioritize different causes for climate change and environmental issues does frustrate me at times, so I appreciate the reply :)

If anything, it's climate change and failing systems due to late-stage capitalism, followed by some form of fascism or other authoritarian system, aided by AI to stay in power.

Electricity use from AI data centers on a global scale isn't impactful enough to make that much of a difference, it's more of a local issue, at least at the current rate. Water use is entirely negligible outside of the surrounding area, animal agriculture uses more than a thousand times as much as all data centers combined.

For baked beans on toast, I recommend adding the following to your beans:

• paprika (1/4 - 1/2 tbsp)
• a small amount of ground pepper
• sriracha sauce (optional, amount depends on your tolerance/preference, I like to use roughly 2-3 tbsp)
• garlic powder (1/4 - 1/2 tbsp)
• soy sauce (0 - 2 tbsp)
• depending on your baked beans and if/how much soy sauce you used, add salt to taste

Feel free to experiment with the amounts and adding some other stuff, would love to hear your thoughts if you ever give it a try :)

Subs for almost everything, including things like donghua or live-action stuff, it just always feels way better to me.

The only exception I can think of where I preferred the dub is Dragon Ball. And I've seen Princess Mononoke in Japanese, English, and German, and enjoyed all versions a lot. Outside of anime, also SpongeBob and The Simpsons in German, but that might just be bc that's how I grew up with them.

thank mr skeltal

now imagine this: both are possible

doesn't the sum of all 1/x head to infinity?

Yeah, but since this jumps from 1/2 to 1/4, I assume the next step would be 1/8, then 1/16 and so on, making this 1/2^x

Best internet connection in the entire neighborhood.

it was going to make me start from the beginning each time

that's actually not the case, after the third gauntlet room there's one of those giant drill spikes you have to hit that falls and breaks through the floors below, letting you skip all 3 major gauntlets, only leaving the short 4th one

regarding runbacks, imo they're fun, so sure, they take time, but anything in a game takes time to do. And all but one of the runbacks are less than like 40s long, I see them as a phase 0 of boss fights, and greatly enjoy them. They also change things up so it's not just permanently fighting the boss itself the entire time. My caveat here is that the movement system being fun adds to that a lot, so in things like the 3rd person Souls games, if it's just a long sprint, it's not as interesting, whereas Silksong has one of my favorite movement systems in gaming, so I even looked forward to the runback when I died against Last Judge.

It really wouldn't. If a corporation reduced their production of for example red meat, another one would simply scale up their production, because the demand of the market would remain unchanged.

Also, there's already more than just a "small percentage" of people who have dropped red meat from their diet. All vegetarians, vegans, pescetarians, and people who eat meat but stopped eating red meat due to the environmental impact add up to several percentage points, which is absolutely measureable and impactful.

We made an unspoken promise to the animals we domesticated: If you provide for me and my family, I will ensure your line never fades from this world

It is unethical to abandon that promise, and the extinction of a species may be the single greatest wrong mankind can commit.

Dozens of species go extinct every single day, in large parts due to deforestation for animal agriculture. Acting like keeping a handful of species we eat from extinction is somehow noble is silly by contrast. The concept of a species is a human construct in the first place, individual animals don't care that their species (which isn't even natural, we bred them like this) is kept going.

If you compare the health of wild animals to domestically cared for animals, you will obviously see that domesticated animals are healthier and have greater opportunities for enrichment and happiness under human care.

It's not about if those animals live under animal agriculture or in the wild. The animals in the wild already exist, the ones in captivity wouldn't exist at all, if we didn't breed them.

Yes there are vile humans who torture and keep animals in miserable conditions, and they should pay consequences for their cruelties and greed

Don’t you dare paint every farmer with that same corporate battery farm brush.

Most animal meat nowadays comes from factory farms. Worldwide it is roughly 90%, in the US it is 99%.
