Either I got incredibly unlucky or the AI cheats. Seems a neat game but getting really unlucky with the rolls is frustrating

Yeah, different cheese work better in different contexts. You wouldn't want a pile of shredded mozzarella for a cheese plate nor would you want slices of deli cheese for a pizza

I like violife for places where I'd use shredded cheese. It's a decent option for pizza and especially for tacos. I just wish it was as rich in protein as animal cheese

Cheese has been one of the hardest things for my partner and I to give up

It's cheap, tasty, and it's a decent source of protein

We're finally getting tasty vegan cheese (Rebel cheese is a favorite of ours) but it's expensive and often is pure fat.

I'm hoping we'll get more innovation in vegan cheeses but in the meanwhile I'm going to keep looking for good alternatives

I'm not sure what you mean by "advanced" but they're really not

An Immense World by Ed Yong had a section on Mantis Shrimp and while their fascinating creatures with a really interesting vision system, their color perception isn't all it's cracked up to be

I'm reciting this from memory so if anyone knows better please correct me:

Mantis Shrimp have compound eyes with three sections: 1) the main section detects movement and is what they primarily use to see 2) the second section detects color. When the shrimp detects movement it will look at whatever it was with it's color detecting section to determine if it's prey or predator. This is a whole separate section of the eye and is unlike how ours function. The reason why the shrimp has so many detectors is because, unlike our eyes, the shrimps eyes don't combine different color receptors to see color. The book likened it to a bar code scanner that uses the presence of certain color combinations to detect what's there 3) one really neat thing the mantis Shrimp can do is see spiralized polarized light. We cannot see polarized light but there's a lot of b polarized light under the ocean so seeing it is fairly common. What's NOT common is polarized light that travels as a spiral. Mantis Shrimp seem to have evolved the ability to create spiralized polarized light and use it to communicate. As far as we know no other animal can make or see it.

In addition, government research in the sciences is miniscule. You could cut ALL of science funding and be no where close to the 1 trillion that Musk claims he'll be able to reduce the budget by

Commonly known as the UN biodiversity summit, COP16 is a meeting of government officials from around the world — likely including some heads of state — to figure out how to stop ecological collapse. COP, which stands for “conference of the parties,” brings together environmental leaders and officials from countries that are part of the Convention on Biological Diversity, a global treaty under the UN to conserve nature. They meet every other year to push forward a conservation agenda.
