Amazon basically solved this problem for me: they locked me out.

I’m laic.

What beliefs a person holds to themselves is indiferent to me. And it should not matter to anyone. Relationships are a negotiated endeavour, from both parts, where everyone gives a little to reach a mutual understanding.

Unless a person subscribes views capable of leading to individual, personal and socially harmful and regressive thought and action, it does not matter.

Removing the religious view from your question: would you date a vegan, not being one? Would you date a non vegan, being yourself one?

Zealotry goes both ways. Both the believer and the non believer can entrench themselves in their views so deeply they become fanatics.

So, they’re lazy.

Under pressure for what?

It has already been stated that the import of food items, in detriment of the higher EU food standards, will not be negotiable.

Two simple examples: chicken and beef.

For beef, it would be as simple as stop pumping cattle with steroids and attest the origin of the animal, two things american rancher are unwilling and often unable to do. Argentina and Brasil sell meat to the EU. Isn’t the US as capable?

Stop washing chicken with chemicals (likewise, eggs), treat the animals properly, with good sanitary conditions, no steroids, and it will be fine.

But the real issue is that the EU already produces enough beef and chicken indoors. And meat consumption has been in a sharp decline. No one will buy what they don’t.

Besides these two, it would make a difference if the US stopped using artificial food colorings, with proven bad effects on health.

There are more issues.

Beet root boiling water is a very stubborn dye to wash off too.

Was that lamb properly cleaned? Sheep and goat have glands throughout the body that need to be removed in order to make the meat more palatable; it’s still edible, just unpleaseant and smelly.

I personally prefer adult sheep or goat. The meat is very though and oily but slowly roasted, with strong herbs, it breaks down and becomes tender. The fat in the meat is superb to cook root vegetables in.

Nothing against horse; unusual nowadays but it helped a relative of mine to ward off a serious malnutrition, leading to low blood iron levels. Game meats are game meats. I personally enjoy boar but not being a hunter makes it hard to source such meats.

Nothing wrong, per se, just non sensical.

The animal does not have much to eat, the meat is though and very fatty and heavily scented. Also, unless it is “fat”, it is not edible, leading to badgers in the area becoming leaner and more muscular.

Allso, it’s a protected species.

People eat badgers in my country… stupid people will eat anything.

We could just regulate tech companies and outright ban some practices but since we apparently don’t have time for rational solutions…

Well thought out sabotage can be written off to causality or involuntary human error.

Not giving notice of lay off is an abusive work practice and only shows how far we’ve allowed work conditions to degrade.

And that practice itself can be highly dangerous, if we consider a person can be midway into a complex task that can turn extremely difficult to follow by another: waste of time, resources, energy and money.

I do know they enjoy eating eggs from birds nests and other small animals are on the menu. But murderous?

Small acts of sabotage are easy to write off to causality, if well planned.

Stupid question but what is stopping the software engineers to poison the well?

Insert malicious code, self destructing functions, have entire batches of code lost or corrupted, hardware damaged, etc?

Cute as these animals are, considering their invasive status, I expect culling efforts.

I stand corrected.

Never used it for personal ends. But I’m curious to see if all the companies using as a work tool will divert from it.

Signal.

And IF I learn how to run Jammi, it will be my default communication application.

Considering the actions currently being perpetrated against children (and women, elderly and civilians) by the the nation at the zero position, being in the negative range of that scale sounds pretty good.

Considering the zero, I’m fairly comfortable the average human is pretty well situated in the negative numbers of that scale.

I took it as a good humoured take ad I answered it in the same fashion.

I could, in fact, draw the entire thing on paper. Technical drawing was taugh to me in school and I took quite well to it; I still like to draw today but more as an artistic expression.

Although I wouldn’t consider what I make as artistic under any light.

But my original still holds. Yes, I could. But I would have to make everything from scratch every single time we wanted to try an idea.

Not really practical.

I’m going to look into LibreCAD and FreeCAD. Seem to be the most promising solutions.

I could but it would be a hassle to draw from scratch an entire blueprint every time some idea came to us to improve the space. Hence, the digital option.

So, old but not that old.
