I got a PS Vita a while back and it’s a fun device, especially set up for homebrew, but it’s super uncomfortable to use for more than a few minutes at a time

Little inputs all over it and nothing to hold on to, I had to get a controller shaped thing to clip it into just to stop my hands cramping up, the bigger devices like the steam deck are a lot more comfortable in comparison

sugar snap peas go crazy, and they’re very filling too

YIIK I.V babyyyyyy we’re so back egglestonheads

The researchers found that cacao plants take up cadmium from the soil, with the metal accumulating in cacao beans as the tree grows. That’s similar to how heavy metals contaminate some other foods.

But lead seems to get into cacao after beans are harvested. The researchers found that the metal was typically on the outer shell of the cocoa bean, not in the bean itself. Moreover, lead levels were low soon after beans were picked and removed from pods but increased as beans dried in the sun for days. During that time, lead-filled dust and dirt accumulated on the beans. “We collected beans on the ground that were heavily loaded with lead on the outer shell,” DiBartolomeis says.

Because of the different ways that cadmium and lead get into chocolate, addressing the contamination requires different solutions.

For lead, that will mean changes in harvesting and manufacturing practices, says Danielle Fugere, president of As You Sow. Such practices could include minimizing soil contact with beans as they lie in the sun, and drying beans on tables or clean tarps away from roads or with protective covers, so lead-contaminated dust won’t land on them. Another option is finding ways to remove metal contaminants when beans are cleaned at factories, Fugere says.

Solving for cadmium is trickier, though it is possible, DiBartolomeis says. Carefully breeding or genetically engineering plants to take up less of the heavy metal could help, though that could take several years. Other potential options include replacing older cacao trees with younger ones, because cadmium levels tend to increase as the plants get older, and removing or treating soil known to be contaminated with cadmium.

Olive oil can be made at home by crushing fresh olives, similar to peanut oil, and sunflower oil, and probably several other plant oils I haven’t looked up.

Hey, glad you want to be a considerate, conscientious vegan! You won’t upset anyone as long as you follow these simple rules:

1. Never admit that you are vegan
2. Never talk about veganism
3. When people are talking about meat, eagerly participate
4. Do not eat visibly vegan food in public
5. If offered meat or cheese, eat it without protest
6. Do not cook vegan food if serving others
7. When you see a cow, remark out loud how you want to eat it

That’s about all you need to know to be one of the Good Vegans. Hope this helps!

pretentious

this is almost year old news

the thing about souls games is that people on the internet insist that the only REAL way to play them is through extra difficult self-imposed challenge runs (summons? resin? pyromancy? you didn’t beat the game)

ignore that and you can temper the difficulty down a lot, though you’ll likely still need a good amount of patience and perseverance, especially if it’s your first time playing

I reject the premise of your question.

Imagine being so devoid of soul and spirit you turn your OS into kubernetes

Graphics cards totally scream when they die too, the smell warns their symbiotic sysadmins to turn off the power

And don’t even get me started on how chalkboards scream when you scratch them, why do vegans not talk about this cruelty

Weird how every time veganism comes up everyone is suddenly deathly allergic to anything that doesn’t scream when it dies

Tribalism is fun

So true bestie! As a vegan carnivore (yes, we exist) it really upsets me whenever PURIST vegans think they have the moral high ground just because they don’t consume animal products. Don’t they understand that if I don’t eat meat at least once a day my brain will violently explode of B12 deficiency? I’m basically forced to eat meat by BIOLOGY, and even if I wasn’t, the cows probably don’t mind living in battery farms and getting killed anyway otherwise they’d say something.

I’m vegan btw.

A t420, but yes

It’s not my main machine but it is my only laptop, and sticking an extra 8gb of ram and an ssd in it was all it needed to become very responsive even for modern software. Unless you’re playing video games or doing some heavyweight media editing projects, those older CPUs and GPUs can cope better than one might expect

It wants to be feature rich, configurable, and flexible

GNOME already has the Apple “we know better than you so it’s our way or the highway” design strategy down to an art

Be the most versatile and usable DE with the best applications

Also works on my machine (14 year old thinkpad)

Counterpoint: KDE is literally the best to ever do it and none even compare

In Bongland these loaves are referred to as toast bread, probably because toasting is all they’re good for.
