There was an ice cream shop in Central London that sold breast milk ice cream (as well as several flavours of cow milk ice cream) - the (bovine) ice cream was pretty good but it shut down over-night, possibly because it was run by Fathers4Justice

I do not wish to speculate how fathers4justice got a hold of breast milk, given that I was under the impression that its entire gimmick was that it was made of divorced dads who weren't allowed to see their kids.

Cows are typically milked twice a day as well.
I honestly wonder if this is punching down, because that person is so monumentally clueless.

Then when will he find the time for his morning meditation? Stupid cows should just meditate along with him, no need for twice the amount of milk, what's he gonna do with it, make cow milk ice cream?

I don't know how legal it is to sell breast milk, either in America or the UK. My understanding in America at least is the only human byproducts you're allowed to sell is semen, eggs, and blood plasma.

It's perfectly legal to have a biobanking research protocol that banks any kind of biospecimen* and also compensates people for those specimens. Once it's collected the bank can kind of do whatever they want with it as far as I'm aware.

*except fetal tissues, that gets complicated and there are some state laws against that

There's also a different history. The Quebecois are descendants of French immigrants, Chileans are descendants of people colonized and enslaved by the Spanish.
The genocide of indigenous peoples in Quebec was not a complete one, and they should still qualify as Quebecois, no?

My understanding is people who are from or live in Quebec are Quebecers, people who are specifically descended from French fur traders or French settlers are Quebecois. Not Canadian, only went to Quebec once so could very easily be wrong.

You guys aren't going to believe this, but that guy is our games teacher.
Recently people have been looking back at the Digg v4 disaster since it looks like Reddit is heading in that direction with their upcoming changes (basically freezing out third party apps with outrageous API fees). One of these looks back got posted to Hacker News and in the comments it came out that the original Digg "algorithm" was just some guy manually ranking every submission to the site:



Part of the Digg v4 redesign was putting an actual algorithm in place and predictably it did much worse than the guy.

SA never went for investor money who need ever bigger returns. SA just needed Goldbelly money for Lowtax and now just needs Bitcoin to never tank so Jeff doesn't lose his crypto billions.

I think about this a lot. You never hear about someone who starts like a rain boot factory and says, "Okay, we can make boots at a profit, our workers get a living wage, and the owner gets a tidy sum. Let's just keep er in the air."

Somehow that's never good enough anymore.

A few such companies exist. W. T. Hawkins Ltd., a brand whose only product is a Cheetos competitor sold only in Canada, refuses to expand operations citing sales being "good enough" as the reason why. I don't know what their wages are like though but knowing how inflation and rising housing costs are in Canada right now I'd imagine not great.

I've heard similar things about Canadian ice cream brand Chapman's as well.

There was a start-up in Oakland when I lived there and you would get hot food in twenty minutes. Menu would change every day there was like three choices, one vegan, and drinks and desert also. It was in the black, no idea what they paid the drivers, probably minimum wage plus tips, but it was a company that made more money than it cost to run, a rarity for 2010' startups. Couldn't find a buyer buyer so they shut it down.

Infinite growth and the constant pressures of capitalism mean that most businesses that go "the small piece we have is good enough" will get swallowed or crushed by the competition. It's rare to be able to just sit it out.

Stockholders don't want to see that everything is going fine and consistent profit is being made, they only want to maximize their own return of investment by cutting costs and raising profits, so anything less then number go up is a failure even if the business is breaking even and being generally successful
