Oxford commas forever. Commas save lives, people!

Taco Bell has “bulked up” their ground beef with soy for years IIRC. Nobody noticed, because their seasoning and actual beef flavor were strong enough to cover.

My problem with Impossible/Beyond is neither is nearly as good as real beef flavor, and I’m saying this as somebody who was vegetarian for over a decade. Boca and Morningstar were my favorites back when I didn’t eat meat, and I still buy the Morningstar breakfast patties because I like them better than greasy meat patties to start my day.

MoviePass and Sinemia got me into like 50 movies. I think my favorite part of that glorious year (less, but let’s round) was when one of the services just stopped working one day and I had prepaid for a year’s service. I reached out to my credit card company and said I got shorted X months of the service. They refunded me the full amount of the prepaid year, so I essentially got months of newly released movies (I’d typically go on Friday afternoons to have fewer people in the theater and the line for concessions) for free.

I should add, the RunPee app saved me so many times I can’t even tell you. Seriously, my favorite app even tangentially related to movies. Get the Infinity Coin if that’s still offered, it’s a great deal for a lifetime of not missing the good parts, especially if you see Christopher Nolan movies regularly.

Space Jesus, not regular earthbound Jesus.

Lemmy is methodone or saboxin compared to the tainted heroin that is Reddit.

I’ll see if I can put in a suggestion over there too. I’m used to r/ApolloApp and r/ApolloAppBeta being the places to interact with the dev, so while I understand using Github for version/issue/documentation tracking and updating, I think using this community for bugs and feature requests is better because it doesn’t send people to another site, and keeping people here then further builds the Voyager community.

I literally tried it by habit, in the Voyager community right after I posted. I’m not old enough to be too set in my ways to change, right?

Do you need color? Do you need scanning beyond using a scanner app from your iPhone (I use Scanner Pro and it’s worth every penny)? You may be okay with a really good B&W laser, ik which case I can more than recommend a Brother. That said, if you need color, I recently bought a Brother color laser printer and no joke, it’s a tank.

It’s not a multifunction printer but when I unboxed it, it weighed noticeably more than the multifunction color laser printer it replaced. Five months in, it’s quick, quiet, and I have no regrets spending the extra money over an Epson inkjet or a lesser laser printer. Oh, and it does duplex, so I use less paper. I legitimately think the case of paper I bought a couple of years ago is the last printer paper I’ll ever buy, and I expect this printer might be the same.

Basically they’ve bought into the idea that the West, neoliberal capitalists to the core, is the root of all evils, so the leaders opposing the West must be good. Unfortunately, the enemy of my enemy isn’t my friend when it comes to geopolitics.

One of the ones I used during 2020 was a biohazard screen from Resident Evil. Another was from Rogue One, with a nice shot of the Death Star getting ready to fire. I think it set the right tone.

I feel sorry for people who don’t drink. When they wake up in the morning, that’s as good as they’re going to feel all day.

It’s like deferred maintenance on dams and bridges. They don’t all fail at once, but the more time goes on, the more things fail. Reddit won’t fail all at once, it will slowly spring leaks and fail.

I’ve been using WefWef and I dig it.

My main complaint with crypto is not the underlying idea of a digital currency, is that people used it as a straight investment like it was a normal stock, they traded it like it was a different currency without understanding currency trading fundamentals, or they used it as a hedge against the USD/Pound/Euro collapsing as though that would gain without taking down the complete grid which is how crypto transactions get tracked against the public ledger. Yes, P2P crypto rejections are possible, but in a collapse scenario they’re effectively useless, even more so than gold and silver, and I’m a big believer that the only true precious metals in a grid down scenario are lead, steel, and brass in the forms of tools and weapons to defend communities.

Gold has value as a transaction medium in some scenarios, but they depend on being able to accurately assay the quality and weight, neither of which lend themselves to quick transactions in small purchases. It’s also super heavy, and since the mined coins are a full or half ounce, in a collapse scenario they’re too valuable for little things, which means massively overpaying and therefore spending the hedge at an accelerated rate.

Crypto and NFTs are money-laundering scams with a lot of technobabble thrown in to hide the truth from normies. I knew it was a scam when one of my friends, who is a smart guy but not a tech guy, bought into BTC because he thought it was clearly the future. I think he made money on his first BTC, and I’m pretty sure he lost on his second and third BTC, and I feel terrible for him because it was with some of his retirement. He’s going to have to work a trade job for years longer than if he’d just put that same money in an index fund, because he got sucked in by the allure of crypto.

I’m not huge on governmental regulation of people’s decisions with their money, but I have a personal rule. If you can’t explain it in a sentence to the average 10 year old or they understand it and it sounds like it should be illegal to said ten year old, it’s not a good idea. It’s easy to explain how a basic investment in a company that makes physical goods can be profitable. Try to explain NFTs to a fifth grader without using words like “profit from nothing” and see what they think.

If the stock market is already artificially high for a few reasons, crypto and NFTs were/are even a step higher in artificial pricing and being a tool for rich people to get richer and hide their money from the few governments powerful enough to dare tax them.
