This is a fork or other form of replacement for nix as in the package manager. It does not replace NixOS, but can be used on NixOS and Darwin.

Wirklich? Ich fand immer das vegane Dönerzeug von Aldi (Wonder Chunks Döner Style) recht gut, z.T. sogar besser als das was manche Buden hier am Fleisch haben. Ist halt eher wie Hähnchendöner aber kommt dem gut nah.

Dann muss ich den auch mal probieren. Ich hoffe nur sonst den von dm, der ist OK.

Ansonsten hast du recht, veganer Käse schmeckt oft einfach nur nach kaltem Fett - leider. Ich hatte letztens einen nach Typ Cheddar, der war im Sandwich erträglich. Aber bis der an die Vorlage rankommt dauert es noch.

Ansonsten stimme ich voll zu. Laborfleisch ist mir fast gleich, ich finde die veganen Alternativen echt gut, für Steak mag anders aussehen, aber das ist eh nicht so mein Fall. Aber Käse? Der kann mit gar nicht schnell genug aus dem Labor kommen.

Käse hat halt aus meiner Sicht auch in der Praxis ein interessantes Spektrum als Fleisch. Ein Butterkäse ist kein Gouda ist kein Harzer - und z.B. Roquefort ist dann noch einmal etwas ganz anderes und besonders (ja, nicht aus Kuhmilch, aber ich mag den mehr als Gorgonzola). Da gibt es einfach eine unglaubliche Vielfalt, die ich auch eher als Genusskultur verstehe als Fleischgerichte. Das zu verlieren wäre wirklich schade. Nicht, dass ich sage, dafür sollte die Massentierhaltung erhalten bleiben, aber ich verstehe nicht, warum Laborkäse oft nur eine Randnotiz neben Laborfleisch ist...

Letting the interest rate is usually an instrument used when invest is too low, a growing economy however is a sign of invest going up.

Low interest rates have been a major driver for a lot of prices the last years, especially housing, so I don't mind interest rates not coming down immediately and I don't expect the ECB to do so when the Fed doesn't.

I would like to see banks offer fair interest rate to customers though. There's a huge gap currently.

Der Mann ist mit 54 Hauptmann, er ist also zwar Offizier, aber wahrscheinlich Fachoffizier.

Wobei ich mir so etwas auch bei den Truppenoffizieren vorstellen kann.

Will auch nicht sagen, Fachoffiziere seien irgendwie keine richtigen Offiziere. Aber wahrscheinlich nicht das, was man zuerst mit dem Begriff assoziiert.

Lol ich sehe es trotz leicht anderer Laufbahn ziemlich genauso. War zwölf Jahre als Soldat beim Bund aber halt immer Schreibtischtäter. Mich als "Veteranen" zu bezeichnen fände ich eklig, das weckt einfach Assoziationen, die einfach nicht zutreffen, aber wenn es dadurch mal was billiger gibt Frage ich nicht nach

This however is implying that the distance traveled is the metric to measure against, which might skew data. It plays a role, but in aviation, other factors play important rules as well, like starts, landings, touch-and-gos, bad weather conditions flying hours, (as opposed good weather flying hours which relates to distance traveled) and so on. For military aircraft, even more metrics might exist, like contour flying hours, desert flying hours and whatnot.

If (accidents / distance traveled) was the only important metric, the safest means of transport would possibly be space travel.

Just like our bëpen-böpenmänner.

Even water can have harmful side effects - you can drown, or get bloated, or dilute your body's store of catalysts, you can over-work your kidneys, etc. Granted, water has fewer side effects than most things you could put into your body:-).

Water however is something the body absolutely requires and if it's fit for consumption (e.g. clean, not distilled, etc) has no downsides when consumed in the required amount. There's no metric that gets better without drinking water compared to with. Also, the possibility of drowning in isn't limited to water, but rather a property of all(?) liquids.

Alcohol can be used well though - e.g. half a serving not even every day has been shown to have fantastic benefits, especially when it is red wine and the recipient is male (though it is unclear whether that is any better than just red grapes, although even if not, the latter can get quite expensive). e.g. it can help to alleviate stress, and lowers blood pressure (ofc it can also raise stress if used improperly, e.g. if you combine drinking with driving).

I'm not aware of any such studies living up to current scientific standards, which is why the WHO now states that there's no safe level for consumption. https://www.who.int/europe/news/item/04-01-2023-no-level-of-alcohol-consumption-is-safe-for-our-health note that this is mostly about cancer only, not the other detrimental effects:

there are no studies that would demonstrate that the potential beneficial effects of light and moderate drinking on cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes outweigh the cancer risk associated with these same levels of alcohol consumption for individual consumers.

For studies showing a positive effect, it has recently been claimed that there are issues with how the control group, consisting of people who don't drink, is selected, which this quote on the article hints at:

“Potential protective effects of alcohol consumption, suggested by some studies, are tightly connected with the comparison groups chosen and the statistical methods used, and may not consider other relevant factors”

Because often, the group of non-drinkers contains ex-drinkers who stopped drinking because of the negative health impact from drinking. So you're comparing a moderate to light drinker (selective from the first group) to the average of the second group, which is problematic because of the previously mentioned fact.

Escapism is part of the human nature, and so is the desire to do drugs, the latter not even exclusive to humans. Both are fine in moderation.

Again, idc about it very much, but shifting away all responsibility from the substance and by extension, the profiteers, towards the sometimes uneducated users is just wrong, and creates a stigma for those who are affected by a dependence on alcohol and its effects detrimental to health. A substance that can have these effects just be at least partially to blame.

Oh, there are definitely some things wrong with alcohol itself, as for basically any psychotropic substance. I can't think of one with absolutely zero downsides.

I don't want to say you should abstain from all substance, in fact I don't either, though I don't drink anymore. But current academic consensus is that alcohol is rather harmful compared to other substance (and, in fairness, less harmful than others) and not only is it problematic itself, but also our approach towards it as a society.

Saying there's nothing wrong with it shifts blame to the affected individual. Meanwhile, companies are raking in billions from sales and not being held accountable for the damage they cause.

Ich vermute, das ist ein Seitenhieb darauf, für wen die tatsächlich arbeiten.

Yeah weird in that regard that a car wash can render it non-functional if you forget to put it into car wash mode

I initially thought it was a joke
