I take full credit for encouraging this

Someone can correct me here, but I believe CICO is false, due to the the difference of efficiency in difference foods and the different people consuming them, leading to significant differences compared to CICO values.

You've reminded me of a very good Norm bit

While focusing on the technicalities of the event is important, the major factor is always the people.

A "fun" fact about Heinz Ketchup, especially considering the brand's history with the condiment, is that Osem, an Israeli food company, had successfully lobbied the regulator to prohibit Heinz from calling it's ketchup ketchup, due to it "not containing enough tomatoes".

What a lot of the journalists and execs miss is that the remote part of remote work is only half the story.

The other half, arguably more impactful, is the process. Geographic distribution mandates certain work practices to remain productive, and those can be highly rewarding and enjoyable to work with. Especially compared to something like agile/scrum.

They'll catch up eventually, but at least in the meanwhile I'm getting paid to help with this.

Don't skip the credits next time :)

Looks like there's no need to wait for Unreal Verse anymore

I see you haven't been on Tiktok much

Compared to the very lucrative job of digging for coal...

Or eat grassfed beef, which is grown consuming human-inedible grass that grows for free, instead of being fed human foods that have to be farmed.

White Oak Pastures even claims to have a negative carbon footprint[0], according to a report by a third party which, if I remember correctly, also authored the report behind one of the vegan burger's sustainability claims.

That is incorrect. Many high quality reviewers make money through affiliate links. For example, In 2020 LTT made 9% through Amazon Associates[0]

I wouldn't take FEMA as the standard. Thankfully, it does not have enough incidents a year to facilitate experience. Instead look for organizations that practice the methods daily even without experiencing catastrophic incident.

A good example is how Walmart was among the first to bring water during Katrina:

Agreed. Talking to a few lawyers until you find a compassionate one is not a commitment. You can hear what he or she has to say then decide after you have more information.

I forgot we all mustn't question the current narrative

That's only a problem if I advise people will go in a certain direction (which is what the original comment did). Instead I suggested people think about their decisions.

I was saying that there could be negative effects, which is evidently true since I have experienced some.

People should check what's good for them instead of blindly following information they got by osmosis. Especially with regards to health.

Or are just aware of the individuality of food.

I am very much in the valley of despair on this manner, but for me individually (and food is indeed very individual), meat consumption leads to a much greater quality of life, with perceived health benefits.

I went fully carnivore and it lead to various health improvements. While I moved away from it due to my foodie tendencies, I currently do consume mainly animal products.

I plan on doing a vegan experiment as well, but I am just not getting convinced by the vegans I listen to, so I need to do more research. As it stands, I believe eating meat that grew naturally (e.g grass fed beef as compared factory farming) is more healthy and sustainable than veganism.

Diversification is indeed the best strategy, but please do not become vegetarian on a whim. Consider the health implications it involves.

There are some things PipeWire makes a lot easier to do.

For example, I have an electric piano that I can connect to my computer and play. I had to install a special software called "jack", because PulseAudio would have me wait before I could hear a note I played.

Jack was not simple to use, but even if you were good at it, there were problems. Imagine you wanted to play along with some music. Well, bad luck, some software do not support jack, and you can't use it together with PulseAudio.

Now lets say I want to stream my playing on Twitch. Again I will have trouble, because the many moving parts in streaming, including video, make it very difficult to output a high quality stream.

Last, when I use DaVinci Resolve to edit and upload my stream to Youtube, I want to record some voice over. Resolve has this function called "ADR", or "Automated dialogue replacement" -- it's a feature they use in film to record the actors on the computer. I could use that to record my voice over, but ADR on Resolve doesn't bother with either Pulse or Jack, and uses something called "ALSA". That means that until Resolve finishes using it, I can't use my microphone!

With Pipewire I just click and it works.

Even when something seems extremely obvious to you, it would be better if you explain yourself rather then assert emptily.

Sure, I am a great advocate of remote work and that's how I work and worked (mostly).

We just need to recognize that it's not for everybody

Remote doesn't really refer to the geography, but the asynchronous workflow. In the manner, many of those companies are far from remote.

Also, remote just doesn't work for some people. This should be decided on a per-company basis

I wrote Emergency Remote[0], and in my experience there are companies which tried to work the same way remotely and got the wrong impression by doing that.

I'm not as confident as the author that so many companies are onboard with remote because of their past couple of years. It's more likely they go the remote way because of employee pressure.

Yep.
