Sephiroth. His look is basically the most generic bishy anime character you can make, his entire backstory can be boiled down to “mommy issues” and his motivations are the standard villain “destroy world/become god”. He’s just so bland.

My thought is some sort of rosemary heavy crust with whole wheat bread crumbs instead of graham crackers, a garlic and onion flavored (and sugar free) cheese cake and then standard Philly cheese steak filling for the topping. Add in a dollop of cheese wiz on the top and some sort of balsamic/worcestershire reduction drizzled onto the top.
That… could work?
I mean, it’d be a real challenge. But some sort of savory cheesecake, with a savory crust, topped with cheese steak fillings and I could see it being… okay-ish. I don’t think it would gain mainstream appeal, but I could see it being some sort of local delicacy that all the locals say is delicious but also a acquired taste.
IIRC it’s because they classified the bong water as the controlled substance. As such it’s treated as if she were smuggling a half pound or so of meth rather then bong water that tested positive for methamphetamine.
Eh… I dunno. You’d be comparing the power consumption of the laser etching machine to the energy cost of shipping oil to make the plastic to make the label, shipping the raw plastic to a facility to actually print the labels, making the adhesive, then (probably) shipping the labels and adhesive to the packing plant and then adding in the power of the machinery to that actually sticks the label on.
I have no real numbers here but I could see zapping a avocado with a laser being the more energy efficient one.
Death to non-compostable produce stickers.
God I hate those. They constantly end up in the compost despite my best efforts. God only knows how many of them are part of the soil in my garden now.
Link works for me maybe they fixed it?
If you want to search for it yourself it’s “Live-attenuated virus vaccine defective in RNAi suppression induces rapid protection in neonatal and adult mice lacking mature B and T cells” by Gang Chen, Qingxia Han, Wan-Xiang Li, and Shou-Wei Ding
And once again God fucks everyone over because he can’t stand not being the most special boy ever.
That opens up the possibility of vegan cheese, butter, etc. but as true dairy products.
There actually are vegan dairy-ish products out there. Several startups have inserted the gene for casein (the main protein in milk) into yeast. So you just harvest the casein, add a little bit of some sort of fat and sugar and you have something that’s 99% the same as milk, and can be used in the same sorts of processes.
The only product that I’ve actually tried was some Brave Robot ice cream, which was well… ice cream.
Two things really.
Tradition. Alcohol has a long history in European culture and by immigration the United States. It’s common to have a glass of wine or a beer with dinner, the rich will impress their friends with the extravagant alcohol they drink serve, you take a glass of wine at communion… heck at one point weak beers were drunk more than water, because at the time nobody knew what made water safe to drink but everyone could tell if beer smelled rotten.
Production. Marijuana is easy to grow, but it takes a lot of time and space to produce. Alcohol on the other hand you need something with sugar and some yeast or starter. It can be fermented in some corner of the basement or even a cupboard. It’s so hard to control the production of alcohol even in prisons there’s usually somebody fermenting pruno somewhere and that’s one of the most controlled and monitored environments. It’s really hard to prevent people from brewing some form of alcohol because it’s about as easy as making bread.
When you combine these two you end up with the disaster that occurred when the United States tried to ban alcohol during prohibition. An easy to produce intoxicant with a large market was suddenly banned, when people started looking for more organized crime stepped in to fill the void.
Pyracantha, they’re in the rose family.
The berries are sorta edible, sorta poisonous. Basically they took the “cyanide in apple seeds” trick and cranked it up to eleven, so you don’t want to eat the fruits. However you can boil the fruits to extract the juice and make a jelly out of it.
Unfortunately, they still have your comments saved in a database somewhere for LLMs to work on.
Hmm…I bet they use the text from edits as training data too. Maybe you could poison the results by hooking a edit bot to a random text generator?
So from what I’ve gathered from the internet it’s apparently considered weird, but Doritos (usually spicy nacho or salsa verde) dipped in cottage cheese. When I’m depressed I’ll scarf down half a bag of chips (and about a third of a tub of cottage cheese).
The funny thing is that some medieval bricklayer made a conscious choice here, he could have put that brick paw-print down and made a flawless floor. Now, here we are getting a chuckle out of some unknown bricklayer’s little gag centuries later.
My response is usually “Sure, I can always use an alibi!”
