    There's this German brand, LUVE, which offers products like joghurt or ice cream made from lupins. They are all plant based dairy product alternatives and taste quite good. I never thought of buying "pure" lupins since I also thought those products are somehow made of the flower. Will keep my eyes open if I can buy them somewhere.

    When I moved into my first flat I bought a quite expensive cutlery set besides some "everyday" cutlery to use when I have guests over. Well, it turned out that I'm too lazy cooking for more than two people so the only thing I ever used was the included cake server and even that only once.

    Thank you so much for your thoughtful answer! I don't really play any instrument so that might make it a bit harder for me. Your advice of starting with replicating things is great, I would have never thought of that myself though it seems so obvious now.

    That also sounds really complicated, especially assembling everything and that nothing will be doubled. With the archive that's very interesting. Will look out for that from now on when watching...

    Sounds like your dogs have a great live with those many activities and you taking care of their needs so well. I know someone that did mantrailing for fun with their dog. I once was the "target" and he indeed found me. That was pretty interesting participating in that experience.

    What does the technical part of post production include? I don't know a lot about that topic in general but I admire all the people who have the patience to put everything together until there's a whole movie/documentary finished. Especially the audio and cutting part. That must be very difficult to get everything on point since there often is so much material?

    Wow, I'm jealous, how cool is that! And I hope you can one day fulfill your dream of meeting an elephant :) I like both cats and dogs and often think about adopting but currently I don't have enough time for either so it wouldn't be a good idea. At least my parents have cats and I know a few dog owners so I'm hanging out with those.

    Good to hear about the tech community. I haven't had the time yet take a closer look since I'm still figuring everything out.

    Hey everyone,
    I'm also leaving Reddit after many years (and many years using RIF). I've worked in marketing, sales and project management, mostly in small tech/software companies. At my current job my focus is on content writing.
    On Reddit I enjoyed learning more about topics I'm interested in like tech, AI, SEO/content writing, science or foreign politics/countries and also getting different opinions and views on things. Well and of course I love animals so I enjoyed those specific subreddits, too :-)
    I'm no native speaker so sorry in advance if I'm making some mistakes.
