Readit NewsWith CitiBike and so many bike lanes it basically already is a biker's paradise. Obviously there could be lots more improvements, but the people who want to bike already do.
Fake meat doesn't really taste like real meat yet, which is one reason why they aren't selling as well as hoped. I think it will be easier to develop fake meats which are indistinguishable from the real thing than convincing the majority of the people to forgo meat without having an equivalent replacement available. Making really really good fake meat is going to be extremely hard, making the majority of people vegan (or even significantly reduce their animal product consumption) without it will be borderline impossible.
I respectfully disagree: while vegan cooking isn’t common for most of us, when you get used to it it’s not harder to cooking delicious and nutritious dishes. It’s also probably easier sanitary-wise.
Just to cite a few:
- mushrooms sauté - tempeh cubes in broth or sauce - dal
With that said, vegan caviar has existed for years make of algae, and it's honestly not far from the real thing.

I’ve a similar view for myself but my GF find it creepy and don’t want discuss it, yet. That’s embarrassing, I don’t want to cause grief by a surprise disparition.
Practically speaking there’s NGOs that can help and even send kits after a (long) checkup. Inert gas asphyxia seems to be a classic as it’s fast, painless and quite cheap/easy.

> this driver was solely at fault because he was speeding, with his foot on the accelerator—which overrode Autopilot—as he rummaged for his dropped phone without his eyes on the road
There’s lots to blame in auto makers « security marketing » and phone addiction but it seems obvious that driving a 1ton+ vehicle while not constantly looking at the road can lead to bad outcomes.
I’m all in for (mass surveillance) onboard eye tracking. Make it optional with 50% bonus on your car insurance and driving state tax. I see many, many drivers every day that are looking at their phone in very inappropriate moments like intersections and line changes.
In my region, the street trees are usually getting sewer water. Residential service in older houses are usually clay pipes with lead solder that the tree infiltrates. It’s not a problem until the clay pops and roots clog it.
It varies a lot by region and jurisdiction. One of the cities near me made the mistake of using riveted pipe from rolled steel to save money 75 years ago, and regularly has catastrophic main breaks as the rivets aren’t as robust as a regular pipe.
