I’d like to chime in with the recommendation to generally not veganify non-vegan recipes. You are taking a recipe that is designed with ingredients having certain characteristics, and substituting some of those ingredients with slightly different ones. If the original recipe has been tuned to be as close to perfection as possible, then your altered version cannot be as good.

And then again, a recipe designed as vegan from ground up has all the ratios between different ingredients, and the choices of ingredients designed to really fit well together.

My personal experience is that vegan food that is slightly different but takes the best out of the ingredients available can often be better than its non-vegan counterpart. You get better results by at most taking inspiration from the non-vegan foods and then creating something of your own than by trying to do something with altered ingredients.

But of course: This is the way for perfection. It assumes you are a gourmet magician or that you have extremely good recipes available somewhere. It can really often bring you very adequate results to just emulate a non-vegan recipe. I am sorry I am unable to directly help you with that; but I feel it might be useful to you if I tried pushing you a bit towards the direction of making the best of your ingredients and seeing what comes out of that :)
The best vegan foods I have eaten have all been such that you simply couldn’t sensibly make them using any non-vegan ingredients.

Good luck cooking, in any case!

Snowing isn’t possible without clouds, and clouds warm up in the same way a blanket does. It might be something like -20°C on a clear day, which is uncomfortable indeed, but a snowy day seldom gets colder than -10°C, might be more like -7°C or so. Not all that bad, really :)

MySoda answered my email and told the following shops: Marktkauf, Kaufland, Rossmann, DM, Lidl. And they mentioned www.sodataste.com and www.sodalivery.com as further online sources for CO2.

Then, they also mentioned CO2 cylinders by Wassermaxx and Aldi being compatible (beside “basically all cylinders”, with practically the only exception being that most Sodastream cylinders are incompatible), and from the existence of Aldi cylinders I’ll venture to make a guess that Aldi has them as well 🤪 And since we’ve now covered Lidl, Red Netto and Aldi, I’d be surprised if Penny Markt didn’t have the same as well. The dog Netto usually has nothing anyway, so probably not this service either?

Anyway, doesn’t seem to be an insurmountable problem in Germany at all!

What does the lore tell about why the marsupial rat cannot locate the hero by smell?

Is this based on Shattered PD or some other form of PD?

Edit: SPD is mentioned in another post. Cool!

I hate the electric toilet flush handles used in Tesla, but I must admit it did feel impressive when I encountered it the first time. I was hitchhiking and was allowed in a car. The door handle was kind of visible but… not really a handle?!

So, I kind of put my hand near it in confusion and “bzzrt”, it came out of the door, allowing me to open the door. It was a cool experience.
Still not one I’d be ready to risk my life for, though.

This photo was apparently made in 2017.

Israel was already committing a genocide back then, but its magnitude was far lower than in the past few years.

Any idea of which are made by companies opposing genocides and which by the company that actively participates in a genocide?

Maybe it’s good to mention here that this plan was later cancelled, because the Swiss parliament voted against subvention for this train.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Đorđe_Martinović_incident tells: “The collapse of this taboo in the coverage of the Martinović case heralded the growth of nationalism that was to lead to the country’s collapse in 1991.”

Their site exists in German… And they do sell their products in Germany. Somewhere.They do say that you can get new CO2 cylinders “in shops” and that you can use CO2 cylinders of several marks, not just their own, but that’s a bit ridiculously lacking level of information still. I did just write them an email asking (telling…) them to increase their accessibility by telling where the hell their products can be bought. But anyway, they seem to want only 7 € of postage to Germany on their online shop?!
You just need to ask in some big shop around if they would have a system for changing CO2 available. The MySoda site hints in a semi-unclear manner that that should be a relatively common service in Germany. I’d venture to ask at least at the closest Kaufland and Karstadt for what they have for offer.

They do tell here that you can use CO2 cylinders of “most marks”, and mention Aarke, Sodapop and Aga as examples.

Luckily one of the devices later broke down and was replaced by another one. It didn’t come from Sweden, but speaks English instead of Finnish all the same.

I recently got a machine for adding bubbles to water. Cost me 10 € used, including an empty CO₂ bottle which I can change for a full one at any hypermarket by paying 7 € for the content (which enbubblifies a 1-litre bottle about 60 times, they promise).
And then I can mix that with some lemonade concentrate to get cola or sprite or orange lemonade or whatever. Or I can just put a lemon juice on the bottom of the glass, add a little bit more sugar than that amount, and then pour that water with bubbles atop it.

Works like charm and has the added bonus that I don’t need to lug full bottles of lemonade in my backpack to my district that is located unfairly on top of a very mean hill. I can always make just the amount of lemonade I really want, and I can have one glass of this taste and one glass of that. Any juice concentrate works for adding the taste. I found orange juice concentrate that has simply “orange” as its ingredients and makes much tastier lemonade than anything I could buy from the shop.
Plus, the mark’s own cola concentrate is tasty.

And obviously you can always just buy water with bubbles. But then you’ll have to lug it around, which kind of meh. It weighs.

Sorry, got a bit too creative with that one.

Part of the idea was to say that billionaires and trillionaires are extremely good in using their money in extraordinarily inefficient ways. Trickle-down, or whatever they call it…

Well, one could argue that it’s lunch that includes travel as a part of it :)

But good, let’s say that the lunch must be prepared of zero-gravity grown ingredients only, cooked using atmospheric friction, and delivered by parachute right at the table. 100 million might not be enough for this lunch, though.

Spending 100 million on lunch is absolutely possible. What would it cost to organize a lunch on low Earth orbit? And do that so that you are back on Earth as soon as possible, for important employee span business duties.

In the video you can see that this didn’t happen in reality.

They can put anyone in the “detention centers” if they have suspicion that the person is illegally in the country.
Of course the person can show passport or other sort of ID, but the SA goons can just decide they never saw it. Then that person is an unidentified alien in a “detention center” and will stay there until they disappear.

Comms are created on whichever instance you are using when creating them.
