Totally agree, it’s crazy to have your 2FA and password manager be the same application. You can actually disable 1Password’s 2FA and tie a different 2FA. I’m not sure if it’s just a business/teams feature, but we are able to require everyone at the company install and use Duo as their primary 2FA as part of their 1Password activation.
There are a long list of illnesses caused by vitamin deficiencies, including Scurvy, Rickets, magnesium deficiencies and iron deficiencies (as well as others). These can be life threatening too, so survival is very much a question that should come up.
> The author mentioned his uncle who just ate bread, butter, and cheese for every meal, and I’m not sure how you can even survive off of that. Surely it’s lacking something important with no fruit or vegetables.
Exactly, wouldn’t you end up with scurvy from the lack of vitamin C?
Every extra tonne of CO2 does cost $196+ (I’ve seen credible estimates as high as $400), but through offsetting you could verifiably ensure that more tonnes are avoided for far less.
As a crude analogy, if there is an oil spill (causing $$$ of damage), it would still be cost effective to plug the next oil spill for $.
Don’t get me wrong, the ideal scenario would be to not cause the first oil spill at all (in this crude analogy), but given that this seems impossible in our society, an offsetting tax on plane tickets could be a highly cost effective lever instead.
Apparently the meat is made using Foetal Bovine Serum (which requires the slaughter of cows), and chicken cells (which do not require the slaughter of a chicken). [1]
So technically a vegan would not be happy eating it. I'm however curious about the ratio of slaughter to end product (e.g. is it one slaughter to 10kg of end product, or one slaughter to 1 tonne of end product), since that may sway some vegans/vegetarians.
I guess it depends on where you draw the line? The chicken isn't killed, but I assume it's anesthetized, and surgery is performed on it to get the biopsy sample.
Is that cruel? Do you refuse to eat any product that came from that biopsy?
Yeah, and then the chicken is sacrificed after the biopsy because the techs are only certified for non-survival surgery where survival surgery would require an actual vet
> you might award carbon offsets for replacing a coal plant with solar, when that would have happened anyway just because the economics worked out better
It depends on which organisation verifies your offset, but the big three (Gold Standard, Verra VCS, and United Nations), all require _additionality_. That is where you have to prove that the offset financing is making the project happen, rather than market forces.
It’s not a flawless process, but in many cases offsetting is helping to accelerate the transition away from carbon intensive emitters.
I'm not sure David Irving can be called a scholar or a valid source considering he has been firmly debunked, and lost his libel suit because he lied and made up sources.
To quote one of the expert witnesses at his trial:
> Irving (...) had deliberately distorted and wilfully mistranslated documents, consciously used discredited testimony and falsified historical statistics. (...) Irving has fallen so far short of the standards of scholarship customary amongst historians that he does not deserve to be called a historian at all.
Oat Milk, even the very best, is syrupy and thick. I think most people looking for a latte without dairy are better off seeing the Milk Alternative’s flavors as their own thing rather than trying to replicate a dairy latte. There are a lot of upsides to be found if you stop chasing an impossible goal.
Notably, I found that a Soy London Fog is actually single-handedly a better drink than a milk London Fog...but it is different and if you are chasing a milk product you won’t find it.
Completely agree, I'd probably say my favourite latte is with almond milk, but I wouldn't call it a dairy latte alternative since it has a radically different flavour.
I found the same thing with yoghurt. Instead of trying to chase after a dairy alternative (like Alpro - which is a close flavour but wrong texture), I switched to coconut yoghurt. It's not going to fool anyone into thinking it is dairy, but none-the-less I think it is a superior switch in.
Huh, Oatly tastes really close to dairy milk to me, but some of the other oat milks I've tried are fairly bad. There's a huge variance. I don't think "syrupy" is a way I'd describe any of them, though, except perhaps the higher fat barista blends?
All plant milks taste like dirty sugar water to me. I've tried Oatly and found it slightly less sweet than others, but still not particularly good. Nothing about it is milk-like to me. It was as watery as all the others, I don't understand how the grandparent can find it "syrupy and thick".
I disagree. I have access to several different brands of oat milk, and some of them are sweet, some are not. The neutral ones declare less sugar than Oatly and they don't use any noteworthy amount of salt to balance things out. The brand I prefer declares sugar content at 3 grams per 100, which is a bit less than the nominal amount of lactose in cow milk. I of course understand that these two sugars' GI profiles are different, I'm just pointing out that there is such a thing as neutral non-viscous oat milk.
Personally I agree with that statement (for oatly), having tried every alternative milk including cashew nut. If there’s a specific brand you recommend I’m happy to try.
