Oh Mann, habe das als "wegen mangelnden Klimaschutzes" gelesen. Das wäre mal eine Neuigkeit...

I genuinely thought it was two different pictures, because of that divider in the middle and because the right side looks like it's at a completely different scale...

I found that I had to kind of 'reset' my diet for me to like veggies. About a year ago, I ate much more veggies for like a month and now I like them a lot. Before, I struggled to eat a cucumber in a week, now I regularly eat an entire cucumber for one meal.

There's some things to learn, e.g.:

• Soy sauce kicks up their taste.
• Adding chili allows combining multiple kinds of veggies.

But I believe, the biggest change is the microbiota in your gut. They can chat with your brain. And if you've cultivated microbiota that eat food A, then if you switch to food B, they will tell you to fuck off. But if you keep it up for a few weeks, the old microbiota will decline and new microbiota that enjoy food B will join the party.

I'm now one of those nerds that has to have veggies for almost every other meal, otherwise I will see my mood go down, and I do think that's the microbiota controlling my brain.

Having said all that, I should perhaps add that I was already vegan before that. Yes, I was vegan and did not really like veggies.
You can do the veganisms without eating particularly healthily. You should largely be able to swap out meat with legumes and nuts, without changing everything else.

Yes, that's also a diet change, where you have to learn things (for example, pre-soak lentils to make them less farty) and have to get new microbiota into the mix. But it helps to do these dietary changes one at a time, rather than try to swap out everything at once...

Yeah, this is one of those issues that I feel separates the seniors from the, uh, less experienced seniors. (Let's be real, as a junior, you know jackshit about this.)

Knowing when to use an ORM, when to use SQL vs. NoSQL, all of that is stuff you basically only learn through experience. And experience means building multiple larger applications with different database technologies, bringing them into production and seeing them evolve over time.

It takes multiple years to do that for one application, so you need a decade or more experience to be able to have somewhat of an opinion.
And of course, it is all too easy to never explore outside of your pond, to always have similar problems to solve, where an SQL database does the job well enough, so a decade of experience is not a guarantee of anything either...

Hmm, is it an ATM where you just scan your card once? All the ATMs I've ever used required your card to be physically in the machine throughout the whole process. As soon as you pulled out, it would go back to the home screen until the next person put in their card...

It amuses me that the joke wouldn't have really worked without that rather pronounced depiction of an ass.

Judging from the text on the left, with it not doing animal testing etc., it looks like it targets more 'conscious' consumers in general...

Found this on Wikipedia:

Deionized water is very often used as an ingredient in many cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. "Aqua" is the standard name for water in the International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients standard, which is mandatory on product labels in some countries.

Yeah, I really wonder what their thought process was. Are you supposed to bid on multiple foods, so that if you get outbid, you can fall back to the next one?

When you ring the doorbell to pick it up, they quickly chuck it into the microwave. 🙃

Yeah, when something like that is posted about my country, it's usually just in one specific town and quite likely a pilot project, too...
