I do but we didn't get many birds until just recently. Hopefully next year we'll see more of them. Right now they pop up around the feeders scavenging for leftovers. The tits don't like them much so they're rather shy.

For me robins are rather rare. I hear one occasionally but I rarely see them. Blue and great tits on the other hand have taken over my backyard (with my help).

Within 200m I had falafel from two different places. One tasted like woodshavings and paper towels (I kinda suspect a paper towel really did get in there, it's usually just wood shavings), the other one was Lebanese, and it was the tastiest, most amazing falafel I've had in my life. Homemade is great, supermarket is ok when I want a quick wrap but kinda meh.

Depending on where you live. Over here the prices of plant based milks retained their prices for the most part while dairy surged. On top, big retailers (Kaufland, Lidl) released their own plant milks that go for as low as 1.20€ per carton. Pretty good stuff too!

Now you got me excited! Going to try it out. Thanks!

I got two stainless steel ones and I love them to bits.

A bit off topic but my blender died. Can I make plant milks with a stick blender-powered chopper? It's not within my budget to replace it right now.

Looks so clean! Love it!

And what exactly makes humans superior? In a couple of hundred years we did what millenial cataclysms couldn't do. The human superiority will be in the fossil record as a microscopic toxic line. If anything we're the worst species that has ever emerged on this planet.

Snakes in many cultures are seen as the embodiment of wisdom. They also stabilize rodent populations for example and are hunted by raptors. If snakes disappear tomorrow, there goes your human superiority. See also Mao's war on sparrows and the millions starved after showing their superiority over the tiny birds.

I understand no argument would change your mind on the matters, especially on the Fediverse, but I really hope you read about this from different angles.

I sent them to my local craft store. They're a small local business, ran by a retired couple, that sells art and stitching supplies. The husband makes custom frames while the wife does the consultations and sales.

Woo looks good! You're doing work over there.

I started a couple of full coverage pieces. Sadly I'm only about 20 stitches in with the main one and I don't have anything to show yet. Maybe next week!

Great article to start the day. Thanks for sharing.

Eh.. it might. Harvoni and its relatives are a cure for HepC. They charge about a lifetime's worth of liver treatment for a 3 month supply after which you're most likely cured. Over here one course of Harvoni is worth over 110 average monthly supplies of Humira (a rather expensive biological blockbuster RA/Crohn's drug). Insulin costs 5-10 times less depending on the user... I'm comparing apples to orange but you probably get the idea. Chronic illness is profitable but curing it yields a higher margin as your patient will likely survive the full course.

If/when it hits the market the pricetag would be about a lifetime's+ supply of insulin probably.
