I’m vegan, converted about four years ago so I ate meat for decades. I ate impossible burgers for a while after Burger King got them, because there is some nostalgia/novelty in going to a fast food joint.

But I’ve realized that this weird food product leaves some kind of odd taste in my stomach, and not just from Burger King. I’m pretty over these fake beef burgers now, and would way rather have a black bean burger or a garden burger. Those taste light and yummy and don’t leave a weird feeling in my stomach.

Hi Edgar!. One question/feedback that you hopefully take in the positive light it is intended: what is the differentiating factor of this app? How is this different (today) to a shared Calendar? I do see the beautiful UI, but to gain just that I have to overcome the hurdle of not just installing the app and signing up, but also convincing every member of my party to do the same. Whereas a GCal or something like that is something that most likely everyone already has. I'm the type of person who if I'm adding a new app on my phone (and worse signing up!), there's gotta be a good reason behind it.

I love the potential here. I can see adding some unique features, like keeping track of flights / hotels / rentals... adding a splitwise-like "share expenses", etc. I'd like to know what is your vision/priorities for this in the future.

> Some people say you can't tell the difference between Pepsi, Coke, and the diet versions of both, but I certainly can.

I feel sorry for people with such insensitive taste buds.

I can understand not having a preference, but being unable to tell the difference at all? I wonder what other flavors they're missing out on in other foods.

At the other end, yes, there are some sommeliers with very sensitive tastebuds that are ridiculously good at identifying wines.

But I would wager that at least 90% are faking it, or it's all in their head, and the blind taste tests expose them. It's like audiophiles and their need for HDMI cables that cost 4 digits.

Quantity has its own quality :)

...except Franzia, which sucks.

For those among us who have recently been laid off - Bota Box Nighthawk Black is a decent/drinkable red if you're on a budget.

> be kind to people facing layoffs. Losing your job is awful in the best of circumstances; going through it in such a public and charged situation must be emotionally grueling. Be kind.

At the beginning of covid, I got laid off from a company the day after I accepted a new job at a different company. I had a meeting with my boss to put in my two weeks in the afternoon, but I woke up to an 9am meeting with our CTO where our entire team was let go. Since I got let go instead of quitting I got severance and health care for a few months and was able to file for unemployment, which allowed me to take 6 weeks in between jobs instead of the 2 I was planning.

It was literally the best possible scenario I can think of for getting laid off and it still fucking hurt to be let go.

Seriously, please remember be kind to the people going through this.

Soviet Union used to deploy R-9 - a rocket which was "always ready", launching within 20 minutes from the command, while using liquid oxygen and kerosene as propellants.

So, it might be considered, I guess. Even though Starship looks rather from another era...

Yeah that seems odd to me. Chlorophyll largely doesn't do anything with 500-600nm wavelengths, and that's where this LED outputs a lot of energy. If this was a bulb that could switch between red and green that might be useful for dealing with day/night cycles for plants, but this LED seems like it just outputs more green light than normal?

People are quick to point out vehicle crashes where evidence of alcohol is found in the body of the driver, but are there any studies that show how much driving time is avoided due to alcohol consumption?

I know drinking and driving is bad (and so do many others), so for many of us I would wager it keeps us away from driving and many other dangerous activities. Sober me with too much free times starts thinking "lets go walking into back alleys in Mexico or riding motorcycles through the twisties." That's not to say one is healthier that way, though.

What's is level of complexity relative to something like V2 rocket engine that was suppose to be scaled for 2000 per month. DOD can absorb a lot of exquisit missile engines even during peacetime procurement, I wonder if SpaceX is going to get into the weapons game. Almost everything Elon touches is dual use anyways, wonder what it would take for him flip.
