This is one of those situations where it once again shows that:

  1. Private equity stakes in companies are bullshit and at the very least need to be utterly regulated to hell and back.
  2. More specifically, it should not be allowed to buy a company "on debt". If you want to buy somebody, you need cash-on-hand to do that. That's the only allowed form.

    It's also important to consider that not only isn't this about quitting entirely, it's also specifically about beef (or other comparable meat). White meats in particular are still not good for the environment, but already like an order of magnitude better.

    It's just that beef in particular - also a type of meat that is frankly not even that good if I'm being honest, we're all just used to considering it the best 🤷 - is absolutely horrible for the environment.

    That's meee! ✋

    I still eat meat, but quite little, and quite rarely. There's the odd salami at home, or every few months some ham for carbonara when I get guests over, or something like that. But it's such a small percentage of what I consume now, I feel like I'm effectively vegetarian, anyways.

    And yeah for most things I use alternatives because it turns out they're often easier to handle. The Barista This Isn't Milk is nice because it foams more reliably than actual milk and lasts much longer which is important as a single household.

    That's a bit of a shame, but tbh I was not expecting another re-implementation like for System Shock 1, anyways.

    Which, if anyone here is still on the fence, is absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended!

    From Admiral Cloudberg's air crash series, of course.

    On the 19th of May 2016, an Airbus A320 en route from Paris to Cairo disappeared from radar at cruising altitude over the Mediterranean Sea, spiraling to its doom from 37,000 feet until it was dashed against the night-black water. What caused the loss of the EgyptAir flight and its 66 occupants should have been uncovered by a straightforward inquiry, but instead, the case quickly evolved into one of the more unnerving and unnecessary mysteries of 21st century aviation. The problem wasn’t that investigators couldn’t find the cause — it was that not all of them seemingly wanted to.
