I read about that in an old comment on reddit years ago, but thought maybe it was FUD from a user that didn’t want transplants to move there. Seeing you mention it again is finally getting me to look into that story.

EDIT: Damn, it’s legit.

I know the focus of this article was on the Dam and water sources, but I’m still kinda surprised the Grist writer just passively described the farmer’s 300 acres is used for alfalfa (and oats), which is itself responsible for the majority of water use in the west. It’s deeply unsustainable, and I would’ve thought it appropriate to at least point it out in the article, but c’est la vie.

They used c++ initially since it was spawned from SerenityOS, which was designed to be a mashup of win2000 and unix.

now that Ladybird is its own project, it’s not constrained to that goal, and they have said they will incorporate modern languages.

I don’t know how much Impossible Meat is because nobody around here carries it, but I would imagine it’s a bit pricey just for the name being so popular.

Having tried a fairly wide variety of vegan meat replacements, I personally found that Impossible meat was the most impressive. Their beef imitation is quite literally indistinguishable from the real thing. If anything, it’s beefier than real ground beef. I can sometimes find it on sale at my local store for about $7 or $8 a pound, but usually it’s more around $10 or $11. I always stock up on the beef or sausage when it’s on sale, as my non-vegan family has fully embraced it, whereas they have been less receptive of other beef imitations (though they’ll enjoy any old imitation chicken, which appears to be easier to replicate).
