I’m from Germany and we know to good how fast bat shit crazy and intelligent guys with authoritarianistic aspirations can hypnotize the masses and let them commit crimes against humanity (in fact we’re just witnessing it again with the AfD). Those same guys have the absolute will to win the next US election. Doesn’t matter if they ran into a few roadblocks on their journey. Doesn’t matter if they claim they are not associated with the Nazi mentality or that Hitler was an abomination. They essentially pursue the same goals.

I have no will anymore to discuss this out with internet strangers, so I let others speak:

"Author and legal analyst James Zirin, said in an op-ed in The Hill on Nov 13 Trump wants to “terminate the Constitution to restore himself to power, an insurrectionary act in and of itself. That power would be in the hands of the president with neither checks nor balances.

Trump has vowed on Day 1 to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy the military to violently crush any protest or dissent. He plans to purge the Justice Department of anyone deemed disloyal and deploy across four federal agencies a 50,000-strong bloc of loyalists to defense, legal, judicial and regulatory slots."

From the perspective of people who understand that Project 2025 is just fascism hiding behind the MAGA hats:

And a podcast for to share with friends & family:

The playbook for Project 2025 is about 1000 pages long. A think tank with decades of experience about US politics is behind it. Heritage Foundation heavily influenced a lot of policies of past GOP presidents.

In a german podcast I recently heard about a few of the keypoints of their plans. Let me just say: 2017 wasn’t the most important election in the USA. It’s this year. Especially when regarding what’s happening in Europe and also with the climate. The world can’t afford “Drill baby drill” or guys like DeSantis getting blank checks and other foobar situations like mask bans everywhere or leaving NATO.

If you’re not considering Dark Brandon you’re just not informed enough.

He basically did only bad things for Germany and the world. From the get go.

Are you aware of what’s happening in Germany right now?

We’re witnessing the same as with the MAGA movement right now. Millions of people from the ex-GDR chose to elect the far-right extremist AfD into the EU parliament. Millions of them Gen-Zs who were allowed to vote for the first time at the age of 16. They were mobilized by AfDs strong TikTok game and their parents who clapped when refugee homes burned in the 90s.

Most of the people of east Germany are as lost as MAGAs when it comes to reintegration into society. Most of the 25M of people with immigration background are way better integrated.

One of the key figures of the AfD Björn Höcke wrote articles praising the Nazis under the moniker Landolf Ladig. He said in an interview with Wallstreet Journal “You know a great problem is that we depict Hitler as the absolute evil”.

In addition the magazine correctiv.org uncovered a Wannsee-Conference 2.0 at the beginning of the year organized by another Austrian neo-nazi and members of the high society and AfD in which the planned the mass deportation of immigrants when AfD will come into power. Those immigrants are the back bone of many societal branches like health care.

Someone in the comments to the original twitter-thread showed the Claude solution for above “riddle”. It was equally sane as in your example, correctly answered that the man and the goat can just row together to the other side and correctly identified that there are no hidden restrictions like other items to take aboard. It nevertheless used an excessive amount of text (like myself here).

Gemini: The man rows the goat across.

My aunt had helicobacter for years. Not a joke.

Apart from that we got lovely H5N1 which has an easy game on poultry farms on animals with weakened immune systems and is bound to break out or mutate if not the whole flock is culled. It’s killed people and some virus could emerge when human and avian flu viruses join forces. It’s ravaging in non-avian wildlife and even a polar-bear currently. All this screams next novel pandemic.

And stuff like this that sure will effect human health in some way. Those behaviours are deliberate. It’s a ruthless industry.

The stringy material is probably Seitan (or vital wheat gluten). It’s purely plant based and made from protein rich flour. It has the highest content of protein in plantbased meat replacements (close and above than real meat) but is usually low in the amino acid lysine, opposed to soy-based replacement which contain all 9 essential amino acids in sufficient amounts.

K&P weren’t exaggerating probably:

I’m at my 3rd moto atm. A slightly outdated g31. It came with Android 11 and only recently 2 years after I bought it, it got the 12 upgrade. Still gets regular security patches.

Next the apps installe by Motorola (where I mean by optional that you can deactivate them, not uninstall). None of these apps are in the top 12 in the battery usage statistics and most of them are activated.

Moto App (117MB, optional)

A tutorial center with “kurzgesagt” like animations e.g. for gestures. A selection of shortcuts to settings for customizing your device and Motorola QOL settings.

Moto Actions and Gestures (20MB, optional)

Enables the gestures (has no other brand a shaking flashlight gesture or has Motorola patented it?).

Moto App Launcher (4MB)

The Motorola specific desktop customization. I don’t know how close it is to the Pixel stock image but it doesn’t get in my way.

Moto AI Services (whopping 200MB, optional)

The reviews for this service are scalding. I’m honestly not the biggest fan of having AI on my phone that’s not in my control. Two reviewers point out, that it probably isn’t very invasive AI and rather used for QOL features, like the shaking flashlight feature.

Moto Feedback (31MB, optional)

Helps the user sending feedback (bug-reports and memory-dumps?) to Motorola. Again smotheringly bad reviews. Never had to do with it or used it knowingly. Can be deactivated.

Motorola notifications (88MB, optional)

Again some furious reviews. Double edged sword as it’s used to send news about updates but also push ADs. But the latter isn’t very spammy. Just every few weeks or month a push notifications about a new moto. That’s about the only place where I would see ADs (apart from regular apps).

It was one guy with a caveman mask and one with a Dick Cheney mask. Dick was ironically the neutral or good (control) person who did nothing and the caveman was the bad (treatment) person who once trapped some crows and then released them.

Wildly speculating but could it be that knowledge about skills of corvidae goes back a bit and Hitchcocks “The Birds” wasn’t just fiction?

In forgot vital wheat gluten alias seitan which a bite of would probably obliterate a gluten sensitive person. It’s often used in convenience food.

It’s made out of flour and nothing much else and it happens to have the highest amount protein per gram among the plant based products and even higher than some meat products. The problem is the amino acid profile:

https://vegfaqs.com/seitan-amino-acid-profile/

Protein is made up of about 20 amino acids. Your body can produce 11 of them itself. You need to ingest 9 of them, the so called essential amino acids.

Meat usually contains the complete protein, as well as soy (tofu, edamame, tvp) does. But there are others like quinoa or hemp seeds.

Other plant based protein sources like legumes, beans, peas, grains, seeds & nuts need to be combined to get the 9 EAA because they all are a bit deficient in mostly one amino acid (but they too contain all of them). That’s why beans and rice are often eaten together:

https://www.piedmont.org/living-real-change/what-is-a-complete-protein

I would look into tofu and TVP (textured vegetable protein). The latter is made up of soy but comes in the form of crumbs of varying sizes. It’s dirt cheap here and high protein. If you get the finer grained, you can process them into stuff that resembles ground meat. You can make bolognese, casseroles or burger-patties (in combination with a binding agent like aquafaba or linseeds, onions, mushroom) out of it.

If you don’t want to cook you could make shakes with a food processor or smothie mixer. Plantbased protein powder (pea/rice/soy) + fruits, seeds cocosmilk etc.

I’d install the app cronometer and get a kitchen scale if you don’t have it.

Cronometer contains a gigantic database of products you can easily enter by scanning the barcode. The database is contributed to by users. I can tell they seem to be strict with the quality-control of the contributed products. I contributed one 3 weeks ago and it’s still not in the DB although I looked at pretty in depth websites for the micro nutrients and triple checked the units and numbers.

So you enter your body data and it tells you what your goals are. You can set individual targets, e.g. protein according to your level of activity. You can track workouts too which then modify your macro goals accordingly. You can enter the ingredients of a recipe, save it and restore it when you cook it again. I made myself one e.g. for morning cereals which let me meet my overall daily protein and overall target of 30-40% already. With a daily report it tells you down to the individual vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and amino acids what you need. All in the free version.

What you need to do yourself is to find out what micro and macro nutrient is in what product. Cronometer gives you hints if you click on them in the daily report. You don’t need to track forever as it’s sure cumbersome but to get a feeling for proper nutrition it’s an eyeopener.

Most of the listed foods don’t have much taste on its own. And nobody should eat them unprepared. RememberTheApollo_ described it well. But spices are a thing. With them you can transform them into culinary experiences.

Combine chickpeas with cumin, lemon juice, olive oil, tahini/peanut butter and garlic: delicious nurturing Hummus.

Combine chickpeas with parsley, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, pepper and sesame seeds: mouth watering falafel.

Combine tomatopaste, oliveoil and spices to get a nice base for frying crumbled tofu (a complete protein) to emulate ground meat.

With all the dried food it’s important to prepare them correctly (rinse, soak, cook) to get rid of plant toxins like phasin, solanin, oxalates or arsenic.

E.g. a study found out the best way to prepare natural rice. Peeled rice doesn’t contain much arsenic but natural/brown rice may contain it in its shell (amounts vary by its country of origin).

Chickpeas, soyflakes, rice, hemp & chia seeds, quinoa, tofu, lentils, flour. Most of the dried goods have a shelf life of 1-2 years. The cost of them is sinking in germany. I’m fine with people complaining about rising cost of meat, eggs and dairy and ignoring that fine sources of protein, minerals and vitamins. More for me.

I hope you can accept my apology. I just was in a very agravated mood because of all the ignorance on xitter. We’re try trying to make people less dumb there on multiple fronts and I think we starting to reach people in the last days and they change their stance.

I never watched IT Crowd, but I’m a big fan of Always Sunny, The Office and Arrested Development. I hope there’ll be times when I can enjoy those again and be in a better mood.

And it’s more ethical and environmentally friendlier than Lithium-Ion, right?

Norway has just started a deep sea excavation for cobalt and copper which as I understand (I’m clueless) can be omitted from sodium-ion batteries. The excavation is roughly of the size of equador and will take place in an area that may contain previously unknown lifeforms and critically endangered eco-system.

A paragraph of an article seems to show their non-chalance regarding the ecosystem impacts and unknown side-effects:

“The Norwegian government recognizes that it can’t be sure any mining would be sustainable—it’s not been able to determine the likely environmental impact of extracting minerals in its waters, nor exactly what minerals are there to be found. “We do not currently have the knowledge needed to extract minerals from the seabed in the manner required,” says Næss.”

These are the guys whose grid runs on 99% hydropower but they keep drilling for fossile fuels and now rare earths to export them and in addition are still hunting wales.

So to summarise: I’m very happy that there seems to be an eco friendly battery where its main component is the overambundantly availabe sodium. And the short wikipedia entry seems to reflect, that it’s a more simple tech.
