There is often very limited table space and stacking the dishes can be more about making room than server convenience.

That said, obviously don’t be dumb about it. Stack dishes properly and maybe stick the utensils in a cup so they aren’t at risk of falling during transport.

Germany was the worldwide leader in science before the Nazis. We may see a shift to Europe or China if science is actively suppressed in the USA.

Only they are allowed to use that word.

They needed a symbol to spray paint on their tanks to easily differentiate them. Z is simple and it’s not a a Cyrillic letter.

They tag some of their military assets with ‘Z’ for battlefield identification

They’ll still have to pay the tariff when crossing the border back to the USA, unless they want to risk smuggling it.

Age the second one 2000 years and look as good it will not.

Hey cottage cheese on toast is great, that’s my breakfast most days. With pepper and nutritional yeast usually.

Yeah, that’s about what the Broadway tunnel is going to cost for the Skytrain extension in Vancouver.

Edit: Though of course an urban tunnel cut down an extremely busy street is worst-case scenario. That money would probably buy you a lot more rail elsewhere.

The Broadway corridor has possibly the busiest transit line in North America and the per-passenger cost will be quite low, when it’s finished.

0, -7, -14, -22… dangit

I’d expect a sudden inflation, with suddenly expanded after tax income chasing the same or reduced goods due to less imports.

Then SpaceX is forced to adhere to political considerations and budget priorities. NASA oversight and intensely risk averse culture would not have allowed spacex to build a rocket factory, or risk throwing away prototypes for rapid iteration.

They may have some good engineers still?

Not even mad! Impressed.

Dang that is a lot of trackers

Yeah, that’s interesting. It’s right in the name, too. You are caramelizing the sugars, not the proteins.

So the baking soda does speed up what little maillard is going on, so it browns faster, but it doesn’t caramelize faster.

TIL!

I usually do overnight large batch caramelizing so it hasn’t mattered. Big bag of onion cubes in the freezer so I never do it in a pan.

Alkalinity speeds up the Maillard reaction significantly. Baking soda. Magic.

You don’t have to. Turns out, when you give women the option to not shove a watermelon-sized object through their hoohaws at an age when they’re not ready for it, many of them opt not to!

That talking point died decades ago. We have a clear path to reducing our population. Well-off people with access to contraceptives don’t have high birth rates. We can roll back the human birth rate to sub-replacement levels and over time, reduce it.

There will be a problem with increasing population in 2250 or so, but we can cross that bridge when we come to it.

The moral thing to do is to ensure that all humans have access to clean water and food, contraceptives, and comfortable lives. The population will naturally go down and we can stabilize it over time.

I don’t think it can sustain the current population levels, at our North American standard of living. If we could distribute resources evenly, sure, we could keep everyone alive, but energy consumption, plastic production, all that adds up to an ecological footprint of resource use that isn’t sustainable.

World wildlife levels have gone down dramatically. We’re expanding human life at the expense of all other life. The other life on earth isn’t superfluous: it’s an ecosystem that keeps us alive, recycles our waste, provides our medicines and cultural wealth of all sorts.

We can’t keep our wealthy lifestyle and at the same time tell the poor people of the world that they have to stay poor so that we can remain wealthy.
