At what price point, relative to the cost of farmed meat, would you switch to an otherwise identical cultured alternative (i.e. this was grown from cell culture or some other mechanism that doesn't involve raising an animal and killing it)?
(To be clear, >2x means "I'd pay at least $10 for cultured steak that would cost $5 if it came from a cow.")

FedEx picked up my shipment from GNC on January 24th. The "Two Day Shipping" package is now estimated to be delivered... February 3rd.
It's like FedEx doesn't even care if I'm swole. 😤

Python HTML Sanitizer library Bleach reaches version 6.0 and **end of life**. Why? The underlying html parser library (html5lib) is no longer maintained.

More seriously, I don't think that really leads to conspiracy thinking, but there certainly are interesting parallels...
Is it any wonder that so many people believe in conspiracy theories when they grow up with every adult around them (including, apparently, the police) conspiring to *make up a person with magic powers*, just because they think it's fun?
If you get so far as to collect a DNA sample, you should get to know the secret,, not have the police send you fake evidence.

This is your 15-year warning to get ready for the Y2K38 bug: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem
That said, I remember liking *Murder at the Margin* and the other Henry Spearman "economics professor solves murders with economics" books, so who knows...
> **Critical Chain** is a novel by Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt using the critical chain theory of project management as the major theme.
Sounds like a real banger...

I'm excited to chat with @glyph next Thursday @ 2300-2400 UTC (3p-4p PT), for my OSS Office Hours @ https://youtube.com/jayofdoom.
I expect we'll be talking about lots of things, but I want to pick his brain about how twisted got started and things he's learned while working on it.

Hey @conda switched to Calendar Versioning, nice! By unanimous vote, too: https://github.com/conda-incubator/ceps/blob/main/cep-8.md

"Whenever there's a SuperKitties ad it makes me want to watch SuperKitties."
YouTube uses *Targeted Advertising*... It's super effective!
Amazon seems to be suggesting that I should order a "spare prince harry".
I don't even have *one* prince harry, I can't imagine that I'd need two of them.
Wow, this is the first time I've encountered Youtube "shorts". This is *horrible*.
I want to say that this marks my transition into a "kids these days are incomprehensible" old man, but I'm pretty sure that this isn't even my final form in that respect.

Any of y'all #ios havers understand how to add a podcast by RSS url in the podcasts app?
I unfortunately have a few #apple users in my life and when I try to add podcast feeds available locally, nothing seems to work. Safari doesn't know what app to open RSS feeds with, so I go into podcasts, click the three dots and "Follow show by URL", click submit and then... nothing. No indication of success or failure, and the show doesn't seem to be there.
