I expect diamonds to fall off entirely in the next decade or so. Their (natural, later artificial) scarcity and (manufactured) tradition was all they ever had.

It obviously isn't because of 
, and I don't believe it's just something intrinsic to adapting one medium to another (notable exceptions like Dune notwithstanding (it's all internal monologue and nuance, and you really can't do much with that in a video format (I don't consider the old Dune movie to be the same thing really, but it's still a masterpiece in its own right and dear to me))), because I've seen that done very well before, and I've never gotten a satisfying answer why this keeps happening.
They get some guy who wears those Hollywood-ass glasses to every interview (with the squareish trapezoidal frames of transparent plastic), with that Hollywood-ass haircut (not-short-not-long tousled-ish) who admits and/or demonstrates that they don't understand or even like the source material, and lo and behold it shows through in their writing.
Check me if I'm being boomerish but I just can't buy that any of these shows/movies/media are getting by on any semblance of merit, nor a genuine preponderance of 
types (who I'm skeptical exist as such, I think they're just movie enjoyers who take what they can get) who want this either. I think the media companies are just that good at gaslighting and advertisement, then patting themselves on the back about what a good job they did.
Often the casting, costuming, effects and so on are on point, obviously costing several millions, but it's built on a foundation of "This is what MATH can do! (applause)" writing that I feel absolutely comfortable critiquing because, yeah, I could do better than that actually and I'm a terrible writer. Why not just.. write a good show instead?
Yes you definitely can. They're one of my favorites.
Definitely bake them, don't fry them. It makes them stay together better.
Some good binding agents/fillers include; Oatmeal (my favorite), grape nuts, flour or vital wheat gluten and veggies (if someone has a juicer and you can get your hands on the dry veggie pulp of like celery and carrot and such, that's the way to go), breadcrumbs/panko
Are you eating the begrudging "I guess we have to make a vegan option" restaurant bean burgers or a chipotle black bean burger made with care?
I'm mid-late 20s and after a hangover for 3-4 days I have this terrible taste in my mouth. It isn't like alcohol it's more like how gasoline smells, or freshly paved roads. Anyone know what that's about?
VRchat and gorilla tag are by far the most fun things on VR and are pretty accessible when it comes to processing power actually.
I find that in VRchat the mic anxiety goes away when you're talking to a 3d model of Dr. Eggman or a Skibidi toilet. Something about the presence I dunno.
I leave it on the mouse maze one because I think it's really cool 
I haven't found that to be true of cheap mice and keyboards, or I have to do a certain key combo every time it loses power. I usually end up desoldering the LEDs, but sometimes that makes it stop working so I have to resolder them and put tape around them.
I found the sub because people from there would always come back me up against shitlibs on Reddit. I was a bit of a shitlib at the time myself but by God I was woke.
I've listened to Christmn and his side projects more than I have the parent podcast.
Oof I didn't mean to denigrate that for you. You certainly shouldn't feel bad about that 
Personally, I wish they would just include an off switch.
How is that any different from non-synthetic diamond rings? lol
