I think once they get lab grown meat pretty close to what farm grown, and it isn't dumb expensive, you will see less and less of the terrible condition for animals in the developed world.

Yeah, Veridian Dynamics is pretty close to lab grown meat. It doesn't taste like beef, or chicken...but it's something familiar...

It's not my current bank but wasn't a spam company either. I went shopping for the best one I was likely to get approved for and they came up with that, idk. I pay it off every month, hopefully by the time the 0% interest deal runs out my score will have improved and I'll get something better. :shrug:

I used to stooze on 0% cards a lot after I got my first stupid limit one (back when savings accounts paid interest) Works well if you set up a direct debit to pay the monthly minimum and keep the final payoff value aside (and can be bothered and keep track of it carefully.) probably works wonders for credit ratings too.

The tesco one was the best. Used to fill it using stock purchases for work and get lots of club card points which then converted into free beer every week :)

Holy poo poo, real life spin tires!

Kind of. My grandparents actually do real life spintires (grandfather drives "the scrap car" on his fields until he gets stuck, calls grandmother to get get towed, she comes down in their tractor and tows him out). Also related: This weekend i did (sort of) tractor spintires myself, map: grandfathers farm, objective: get some corn down to a feeding spot, for wild animals (pheasants and deers), and i did a tractor sort of powerslide, for like 100 meters the road was very slippery from fresh snow, and it's uneven. Then i just rode drifted the ATV instead, because the tractor was loving scary, and the ATV is generally faster, and easier to do some actual powerslides.

Whats happening?

The medium version: Our CEO has lost his mind, is self destructing and taking the company down with him. Or at least that's how it appears. Latest example: When my coworker quit Friday, he was told by the CEO that he was not in the right mental state to be quitting and should reconsider. Otherwise it's typical trickle down issues- our sales team/PM's are left to run free, they sell systems and features we haven't made yet and it's a fire/rush job to get a semi functioning product out the door or the company will collapse. The field guys throw the engineers under the bus when the customer complains, the engineers blame management. Everyone ends up being treated like crap and according to the CEO, Engineers are easily replaceable, which has turned their department into a revolving door. The exec team is at best a bad joke and was hand picked due to their ability to be easily manipulated. After three years of this nonsense, it's burnt some of our best people out and I'm just barely hanging on. We've lost a dozen people this last year alone (in a now 40 person company, down from 68), not including the dozen field service guys we cycled through. I recently found out the CEO is trying to sell us, again. I'm 99% sure that included in the sale is IP that we developed/own 50/50 with the last firm who tried to buy us and it's going to end badly. I've got an out, but I'm waiting on lawyers to get back to me. I'm counting the days until February 28th, until then I'm burning up my vacation and sick days :).

Thanks for all the AI Hugs, i love you all.

The news i got today was that i have cancerous developments in my spleen and lungs, this brings my prognosis down to about a coinflip. It was a proper setback at a point in my treatment i thought i was getting better. I was in my nieces christning this weekend, having to fly to and from. when i arrived at home i basically just shut down. i couldent even stand up i was so dizzy. Got to the hospital late last night, the small tumor in my lung had caused a pneumonia i guess. Now im just chilling in my hospital bed getting IV fluids and antibiotics. i am also removing part of my spleen and the lymphnodes in my right groin on thursday.

It truly sucks, and i doubt i will be working the next weeks/months. and even tho i feel really small atm, i will get trough this.

I will not go quietly into the night

Far as I understand it GG had an involuntary AV change, commented on it, someone else changed it to a picture of a WRX, she mentioned her questionable legal problems with ownership due to familial troubles, Internet Tough guys happened and well then it got shut down.

Thank you for the well wishers re: Stig. I know it sounds kinda pathetic but that cat was a big part of my life and really hurts to lose him. Doesn't help today has been one loving disaster after another and draining the rest of my mental resiliance.

I know I'm late on this one but keep on fighting, outlook is a major part of fighting cancer.

And if you have any medical related questions or anything for that matter feel free to hit me up. Most of my oncology knowledge is in pediatrics but it is all the same drugs and I can find out whatever you need.
