I happened to take a look at your HN profile and realized you don't post much, which leads me to believe this is REALLY bothering you.

I can relate. My grandfather, who had been a math teacher and actually got me into computing way back in the beige toaster Macintosh days, religiously checked his email and practiced his Spanish on Rosetta Stone for decades. I had to update from Win 7 to 10 for the desktop I built for him, and that was a big struggle for him. That would probably be many times harder now considering the sad shape of Windows. It was heartbreaking watching him struggle with one of the few simple joys he had left towards the end of his life.

I'm very sorry you're having to deal with that and your anger is warranted.

Hmm, how do you figure? Just about every source I can find shows slow burning carbs, fiber, and protein rich foods blow fatty foods out of water in terms of satiety. (if you are using a metric other than satiety to represent "fills you up", feel free to correct me)

Agreed, this has absolutely nothing to do with tech

It's not real music if you aren't hand crafting the atoms that make up the molecules of the medium you are vibrating to create sound waves.

I feel like there should be an XKCD for this

If it was, they'd need to get the cops on the horn quickly

No apology needed. We all needed to stop procrastinating anyways :)

We're only massacring the fruiting bodies. The mycelium is just fine and lives on to create even more fruiting bodies. It's like picking apples from an apple tree. The tree itself isn't harmed in the slightest. The only difference is that many fruits are designed to be eaten so that the seeds can pass an germinate, whereas mushrooms achieve this through spore release.

For some of these fungal meat-substitute products, I think you do eat the mycelia (for bystanders, the fruiting body we eat is mushrooms). But I don't think the fungus is bothered about it the same way the chicken is.

That's interesting. Is there a video that shows this process up close at the microscopic level? How long does this process take?

I feel like this might have been shown in the 2019 documentary 'Fantastic Fungi' (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8258074/) - really interesting and fun movie.

I'm not sure this is the best showcase. It doesn't show me any kind of a before and after to demonstrate the 2D-3D process. Also, the interior-view floor plans don't quite make sense e.g. doors leading into impossible spaces, two bathrooms directly beside each other, furniture in odd spots

Plenty of copilots, but clearly no competent captain anywhere to steer the ship at Microsoft.
