I think you're right. I was curious, so I looked it up.

The melting point of copper is 1,085°C, and judging from this chart, its definitely getting close:

While it looks scary as fuck, wouldn't it not actually explode unless the gas pipe melted through? There's no oxygen in the fuel, so it can't combust. I guess as the gas heats up, it's also possible the for the tank or lines to spring a leak.

Either way, I'd be nopeing out and calling emergency services.

Yeah, fair, as Naeva also said, that was overly reductive.

Palm oil is still a grey area, though, as is pointed out in the VS quote I posted lower in the comment chain.

Are you asking if it's practicable to avoid everything that contains vegetable oil, as that may contain palm oil? Because, no, I wouldn't consider that practicable. Or at least not any more practicable than not purchasing vegetables from a grocery store.

Edit: Since we're quoting the Vegan Society:

Is palm oil vegan?

In itself, palm oil is a vegetable product which does not need to involve the (ab)use of animals and therefore is suitable for vegans. However, the palm oil and palm timber industries are rife with very bad practices. In the EU, palm oil used in food must now be labelled, but ingredients derived from palm oil in food and non-food products still do not have to be labelled 

So, it is not possible for consumers to boycott palm products. Instead, ending the abuses of the palm tree (oil and timber) industries requires co-ordinated action by consumers, policymakers, vegans and non-vegans together. 

Vegans should also be aware that due to the fact that single-issue campaigns have focused solely on the negative effects of palm oil, other types of crop farming that cause harm to many animals are overlooked. We are working towards a world where animals are not (ab)used for human purposes. We encourage stock-free farming and alternatives to widespread crop clearance and other farming methods which currently cause many animals to die every year. Unfortunately, it is not yet possible or practical for individual vegans to only support vegan farming. However, the consumption of plant-based crops, such as wheat, barley, oil palm and soybeans, causes far fewer animals to lose their lives than eating animals.

Of course it is not actually vegan to clearcut rainforest for food oil

I'm going to push back on this one. Palm oil doesn't contain animal products, so it's vegan. Full stop. I'm not saying it's not bad, or that people shouldn't avoid it, but it's still technically vegan.

All farming causes some amount of animal suffering. If your argument is that the harvesting thereof causes more animal suffering than other oils and that makes it not vegan, the same logic should be applied to vegetables as well. Monocrop and even organic farming causes more animal suffering than veganic farming, so should those vegetables also be considered non-vegan?

This might work for consumer markets, but they've got b2b partners with deep pockets and expensive lawyers that are not happy. Also, the problem is widespread enough that a class action suit would be a pretty big deal. I don't think this'll just blow over.

IMO intell is scrambling to solve a hardware problem with software so they don't have to do a massive and very, very costly recall.

Until they unequivocally show this not to be the, just hang tight.

I think Smith would hate a lot of what's going on in modern capitalism, TBH.

Free speech absolutist, though.

Shocking. Absolutely shocking, I say. It's almost like we've seen this exact pattern a hundred times before.

Yeah, the high end 9 series are (were) great. I'm still using my S9+ and just don't have any good reason to "upgrade". I don't intend to get a phone that doesn't have a headphone jack and memory card slot.

I do kinda miss having a stylus, though, having come from the Note 4 previously.

Za #4, Pepperoni Pizza (sh.itjust.works)

I happened across some store bought vegan pepperoni, and decided I'd do one of the most simple pizzas in existance: the NY style pepperoni pizza. It totally wasn't because I was lazy and it takes like almost zero effort.

My dough caught on the peel as I was shimmying it on to the griddle, so I kinda got this weird teardrop-shaped pizza. Oh well. (:

There's really just something very comforting about a basic-ass slice like this. It's not fancy or pretentious, just delicious.

So I've decided to make pizza every Friday this summer. This is #3, but I declined to post the first two because they contained a slightly controversial brand plant based meat substitute.

This one has vegan blue cheese, caramelized onions, button mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, balsamic reduction and pear slices. I meant to add a bit of arugula, but I forgot. A little fresh basil probably would have been good too.

Oh yeah, I was going to have it last night (y'know, on Friday like I said) but some stuff came up so I had to delay a night.

Feel free to ask for any recipes or whatever! I generally follow Adam Ragusa's NY style pizza recipe, but he's not vegan so if you don't want to give him additional traffic, I can probably answer any questions you might have.

If you have any suggestions for my next pizza, I'd love to hear it! ^^

 
 

I've been learning to cook all sorts of Indian recipes lately. The samosa are store bought, cuz who has time for that. Everything else is made from scratch. I'll probably get around to makeing my own samosas too, some day.

Will post recipes if anyone is interested. ^^

A riff on the classic NY style pizza. Obviously with all the extra toppings, and a cheddar style "cheese", it's not in any way accurate, but it's what I happened to have on hand.

Dough & Sauce:

  • Adam Ragusea's NY Style Pizza v2 [Content Warning: recipe is not fully vegan. It contains cow milk.]

"Cheese":

  • Smoked cheddar style vegan grating block

Toppings:

  • Red onion, mushroom, vegan sausage, fresh basil
