To me, the actual food pyramid picture from that campaign conveys the wrong idea, to the point that it's in fact detrimental.

And meat should be much less present too. Animal produce in general.

Protein intake should come from both vegetables and meats (to the tune of 500g to 600g per person per week, as a rule of thumb).

According to Grok, it's (probably) way more than 3x.

I haven't bothered checking with reliable sources but according to Grok, the average American consumes 3.2x the required amount of proteins from animal produces alone.

I'm a simple man, I just want these companies to pay taxes where they make money.

The real problem that needs solving and that is worth addressing is finding good recipes that you enjoy. They have to hit your taste buds right and provide the perfect level of instructions for your cooking skills and confidence.

The best way to achieve this right now is to find one good cook and hand pick the material they have and that you enjoy. Going through other cooks they shoutout to is also worth.

Right now, I read undejeunerdesoleil.com (fr/it) weekly and copy what I like to Trello. I also infrequently read other blogs and do the same. Ingredients are checklists, instructions in the description, one column is used for shopping, one for what I can cook with what I bought and one for holding recipes. A little automation to reset checklists.

I have hundreds of recipes. It’s still hard or time consuming finding good recipes.

Sorry, this happens a lot to me. For the record I'm not trying to discredit Boeing. I do have issues organizing and expressing my thoughts which results in less than ideal communication.

I'm absolutely not knowledgeable on this topic so double check everything I say.

I think the issue on the 737 Max was that there's been a known and studied system (called the MCAS IIRC) on Boeing planes that overrides pilot controls under some specific pre-determined circumstances and that system had been buffed to compensate for design flaws that were discovered too late to be corrected. On top of being faulty, that buffed system was also way outside of its initial intent and purpose (or rather the parameters guiding its operation were changed so much that it should have been addressed as a separate system and mandated specific training while they were trying to portray the plane as a simple evolution requiring no pilot re-training from earlier versions of the 737).

So, to me, it looks like yet another issue with a system overriding pilot controls for whatever reason.

More generally, this falls into that weird pattern of relying on external sensors which starts a chain of bad decisions leading to accidents (this was also a sensor issue with the Air France 447, although the chain was largely human this time, the pilots realizing way too late their repeated mistake).

The pilot said "[...] un problème de commandes de vol, l'avion a fait à peu près n'importe quoi [...]" and it translates as "[...] flight controls issue, the plane did just about whatever [...]".

To add a bit more, it's interesting to note that at several points in the recording the pilots can be heard fighting the controls and apparently requiring force for that (https://youtu.be/VzCNKhFOPqU?t=25 for example). I know the two ariplanes are unrelated but this was also the case for 737 Max IIRC.

I had not realized they were going with such an incredible number of satellites. Absolutely incredible.

It's happen to all of us frankly. Now I also keep the default shell on remote machines. I guess it's a cognitive trick where I feel uneasy at the different prompt and key bindings (I use zsh with bindkey -v locally).

It depends. I could see myself using this for niche applications such as visually marking certain terminals.

When you work on multiple remote hosts, it's common practice to use different profiles to visually identify hosts. Say your local machine has your standard and preferred colorscheme but staging machines have a green background and customer-facing machines have a red background. Indeed, it's a manual process but I've seen people use it in most places where a substantial amount of work is done on remote hosts (I still use it today if/when I need to access remote hosts).

It doesn't look OSS to me.

I haven't registered and downloaded the software from their website but I doubt it would come with any licensing or OSS mention. The marketing doesn't mention OSS either.

There's at least one thread asking for clarification on the subject which, as far as I can tell, is not formaly answered.

The repo you linked is 13 months old but it's informative nonetheless:

> Do not distribute the presets that come with the free version of Vital. They're under a separate license that does not allow redistribution.

So my best guess is that the author is granting himself an exemption and distributing that software as a closed source software. Which is legal, it certainly helps that there's only one author.

If we really wanted to know what's going on exactly, we should download the software from their website. If it's advertised as being OSS and under the GPL, we should ask for a copy of the source code of the distributed software, as provided by the GPL.

Google handles GMT and UTC but doesn't handle offsets from there and, frankly, it's understandable and I wouldn't bother either. What it does handle though is countries and their DST settings:

> 9:00 UTC in Thailand

But we're way past decorators and comprehensions. I don't understand why people focus on these 2 features to fuel the debate here.

Point is Python used to be a complete yet simple language with few constructs. It more or less followed the path of least surprise and people revered it for that. For several years, it feels like PEPs just add more and more clutter to that foundation.

It sort of looks like an arms race and I just don't get why or what's going on. Certainly, Python doesn't feel the same anymore.

You're correct.

Funnily enough, black pepper is called Thai pepper in Thai, it being the native kind of pepper (พริกไทย).

Precisely. So Thai culture, as we know it, would have to evolve into something else. And that's a job for the Thai people, not someone on an internet forum pointing at one aspect of it and saying that this is wrong and should be dropped.

You're suggesting Thai people loose their sabai-sabai "attitude" but doing so can not come without major cultural changes since it's rooted in philisophical traits. What you're suggesting is that, essentially, Thai people stop being Thai people.

How very ethnocentric of you.
