Oh for fuck's sake, just throw the case out. Even the kashrut isn't that strict[*].
That aside, my local BK sells the Impossible Burger, and it's pretty good, imho.
[*] meat and dairy must have less than one part in 60 of one in the other, and only then by accident -- any more, or deliberate, is considered mixed.

Dig into eBay or other auction/used sources, look for the 2001FP. They're old as shit now (from 2003 I think), but they have good specs anyway:
20 inch diagonal (4:3, like a monitor *should* be), native resolution of 1600x1200, good brightness/contrast [1], multiple input types (DVI-D, VGA, Svideo,
I use three of 'em, and am quite satisfied (coding, Blender, and general puttering around).
Maybe they're not as good as whatever is the new hawtness this year, but they're good enough, and cheap (around $85 used in good condition, when I bought mine).
[1] Pay extra attention to the lighting quality -- older units may have a sort of shadow at the top that spreads downward over time (years), a bit like oil slowly spreading over the surface. No idea what that is, but it doesn't have any effect on the performance of the screen, besides being a mild shadow.
[2] The hub is mediocre, but it works well enough. Its main deficiency is that it works only when the monitor is switched on (rather than having a dedicated always-live power rail, or drawing power from the input from the PC).

Let then go crying back to 8chan or whatever
I've been here since just after this site got started (different username back then), and the signal-to-noise ratio here has always been mediocre at best, but meaningful discussions weren't too difficult. These days, it's in the toilet, because the owners have made very little effort to curtail the garbage (assuming this AC issue is just a bug).
You know as well as I do that because of modern data mining, "AC" is no more anonymous than "fooblargh4736473", but a gibberish username like that at least provides some modicum of accountability to everyone else here.
Oh, and hurt feelings? scum? Some of us are capable of holding a meaningful discussion without resorting to personal attacks. Your post just proves my point.
APK, ASCII art spam, goatse posts with the random wording, the constant anonymous attacks against select people on here
Besides, everything you could post before as AC, you can still post as a pseudonymous account.
If it's permanent, I say goodbye and good riddance to AC's.
Um, no. All it means is that it'll take longer for human mortality to reach a steady state. Your supposition assumes that humankind will stop dying of all other causes i.e. disease, accidents, murders, etc., and assuming that third-world baby factories won't get their shit together.
Plus, after looking up some stats, 1% of Earth's land is taken by cities, about 36% for agriculture, livestock, and all other human activities, and 29% of the surface is uninhabitable. The remaining 34%? Forests and shrubbery. So yeah, humanity has room to grow.
Because it's biblical, so surely it *must* be a good target. Somewhere in there, it was declared that humans shall live to a maximum of 120 years (I forget where exactly, maybe in the aftermath of Noah's flood).
Of course, our modern reality is not described particularly well by a thousands-of-years-old collection of personal journals of questionable authenticity, let alone constrained by it. According to Wiki, Jeanne Calment made it to 122½ years old, makign her the oldest person on record, whose birthday could be 100%-verified.
Foreword: Whatever its cause, I think climate change is a serious problem, and humankind is the only species on the planet that is capable of solving it (even if that involves putting nature to work on the problem, i.e. planting trees or bioengineering or whatever).
Ignoring the reduction in land area caused by rising sea levels, isn't it supposed to take a few decades for the actual climate to be a major problem, and several more to reach biblical proportions? As in major problems by around 2050 and Brazil goes all Mad Max by around 2100?
I thought animals, in general, tended to react to climate changes on the scale of just a few years? I.e. gradually migrating away, toward more appealing regions as the average climate shifts (to say nothing of how animals react to issues like a heat wave, large-scale flooding, or forest fires).
For that matter, as the phrase goes, "nature abhors a vacuum" -- so wouldn't an area abandoned by migration tend to be either taken-over by incoming animals that find the abandoned land appealing, or just by whatever didn't leave?
I mean, even the Australian Outback, Death Valley in the southwestern US, the Sahara Desert, and the hottest parts of the Middle East, all have some native wildlife, and I'm pretty sure climate change isn't going to make those areas any worse than they already are.
We all know the "boiling frog" thing is a myth, so, without RTFA, I can't help but wonder: just how fast is "fast enough"?
Secondary to that: ignoring for the moment ideas of morality or ethics or whether it's our fault, why does it matter one iota if one or many species become endangered or go extinct? That's happened many times on this planet, yet life still thrives here.
You clearly do not want a child to operate a CNC lathe (or any heavy [machinery]),
Yes, you do, depending on your culture and your definition of "child". With proper instruction of course.
Back in ancient times, we called that arrangement "shop class".
I started tinkering with computers in the mid 1980's at 11 years old, and was coding within a year.
It takes way less skill to manage a modern Linux desktop than to code or work a lathe. Notice the key word there: "modern".

They have one advantage: A site can spawn as many of those as it wants, and they still stay on the one page. Close the tab and bye-bye interstitals. Can't really do that with "regular" popups.
