No one is creating 3d printed meat to scale and even if they were 3d printed meat costs 10-25X as much as natural meat. (If someone figured out a way to make it to scale and cheaply it would be a literal industry changing event.) The guy is an IT VP who has no idea how the canning side work.

About 99.9% of you who pirate books live in an area with a public library, and that library almost certainly has some sort of digital ebook platform. Go get a library card and a Libby account and just wait your six weeks for your free copy to borrow like the rest of us.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

I just realized the thing that set back social democracy in America a hundred years was Hunter Biden not inviting media elites on his cocaine benders and sharing his hookers and I will spend the next 48 hours staring at the wall.

Glad this story is finally public but also incredible that it is taking media so long to dig up what is essentially open knowledge in these communities rn.

Measure ULA supporters, including the oversight board, claimed that the transfer tax has already "created 10,000 union construction jobs."

UCLA professor Mike Manville looked at the basis for this number and found out that it's bullshit: each “job” represents 19 potential future work days.
How did an ‘implausible’ claim about jobs created by LA’s ‘mansion tax’ get cited by watchdogs?
A committee tasked with oversight of the city’s controversial tax said it has created 10,000 union construction jobs. LAist tracked down the claim’s origins.

A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF!

Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!

Other than some time off every year for Christmas, Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne have delivered a new Oglaf comic, skewering fantasy tropes with absolutely not safe for work humor, every week since 2008...

This is actually a pretty standard and unremarkable move, as evidenced by Justice Jackson issuing it.

But most people won't believe that for several good reasons.

#BREAKING: Justice Jackson has issued an "administrative" stay, temporarily pausing a district court order that would've required the USDA to continue using contingency funds to pay SNAP benefits.

The stay expires 48 hours after the First Circuit rules on USDA's request for a stay pending appeal.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

I thought he was just a guy from LI who didn't want to have to live in NYC under Mamdani. I was wrong, he's from NYC. He has financial ties to Israel and no firefighting experience (he was appointed last summer and uhm a lot was going on). From wikipedia.
