    My guess (since they didn't say otherwise) is that these are salted password hashes. Which means getting one password doesn't give an attacker access to everywhere else you have used that password (unless they expend tremendous compute brute-forcing your password from the salted hash, something that would not scale for the data set.)

    I've been really craving burgers since I went vegan, and was really impressed by Burger King's impossible burger. I bought some impossible patties, vegan mayo & cheese, ketchup, veggies, etc, and made some burgers this weekend.

    I'm just blown away at how good and meaty these patties are. If you cook them to medium, the middle stays pink. It tastes like a burger, it's juicy like a burger, etc. Going vegan is honestly so easy now with Gardein chicken nuggets that go in the air fryer on lazy days, impossible/beyond meats, JUST Eggs (which cook just like regular eggs are honestly SO good), etc.

    If you aren't vegan, consider trying some of these alternatives! Any reduction of your animal consumption is good for the environment, animals, and (potentially) your health.

    I've used the setup described above for all my devices for many years at this point with no edits to my process. I don't trust any domain to last terribly long, and I don't have the patience to look up the hottest domain every 6-8 months when the current one gets killed. I want a nice UI, all my movies and shows, and no fuss.

    I've recently gone vegan, and have been replacing animal proteins with similar plant ones (e.g., Impossible, Beyond, Gardein, etc.) I am trying to eat more traditional vegan meals, and recently tried this recipe recommended by u/Carrow which turned out amazing. I'm working into doing more meal prep and have noticed that I'm paying a lot more attention to what I eat than I was before.

    This is my favorite comment on the thread. I love the practical life advice and it feels nice to be welcomed. I haven't told anyone I'm vegan and I intend to keep it that way as long as possible. I'm not sure I'm prepared to deal with all of the flak I know is going to be coming my way. My only motivation to be vegan is ethical; I really don't care about any alleged health benefits/detriments or whatever. I don't know any vegans so it feels quite isolating, especially considering how social an activity food is. It's an important way of relating to others, and my ethical views make this really irritating and inconvenient if I'm being honest.

    You are a hero, there is so much good stuff in this comment that it alone was worth making the post. The recipes look great, though I admit Gardein + air fryer has been a necessary part of the process lol. Do you find the HappyCow app useful enough to warrant being its own app?

    Also I will get that recipe book, thanks!

    Hey everyone, I am attempting to go vegan.

    I just wanted to do a "vegan weekend", but I’m about a month in, and I'm feeling like I can keep this up. I've tried in the past, but there are far more vegan options than there were several years ago. If you are a vegan, please let me know any tips, tricks, etc. that you wish you knew sooner. If you are on the fence or curious about it, ask questions! Post your favorite vegan recipes in the comments or any online resources you recommend on veganism. General veganism thread.

    I don't think anyone is "jumping through hoops" or are "insane" for pointing out that one of Trump's executive orders was already guaranteed to be EO 14188. Biden left us on EO 14147, and Trump signed 124 executive orders. They increment sequentially. Many if not most of the 124 are shitty and authoritarian, so no surprise that EO 14188 is too.

    How am I "insane"? How is this "like saying Musk's Nazi salute was an 'awkward gesture'"? It's worthwhile to be charitable, as I think everyone in this thread is operating in good faith.

    Given the number of executive orders signed, and given the number that Biden left us off on (EO14146), some order was guaranteed to land on 14188. The likelihood that any particular order landing on that number would be authoritarian is also quite high, since the ratio of authoritarian to non-authoritarian orders is quite high.
