Lidl sells oatmilk, called No Milk, fortified with D3, B12 and calcium for 90 eurocents in Germany. Looks and tastes like milk. I'm not buying any other plant milk anymore.

Someone in the comments to the original twitter-thread showed the Claude solution for above "riddle". It was equally sane as in your example, correctly answered that the man and the goat can just row together to the other side and correctly identified that there are no hidden restrictions like other items to take aboard. It nevertheless used an excessive amount of text (like myself here).

Gemini: The man rows the goat across.

I recently tried to get a boomer uncle into IASIP and started with episode 1. Don't be like me. Second try was with my aunt and her husband and "Hundred Dollar Baby". Jackpot. They stayed for another episode which was of course "Sweet Dee has a heart attack".

Pretty flawless skin though and he claimed he shaved his head (provided this was really his post). So he wasn't bald before. Would make it 2 bonus points from the lottery. Could also be that it's just fat on his neck, he posed or it's a thyroid or iodine issue. May his liberation from the vanity of hairdoism will initiate his Super Saiyan tranformation.

Wonder if their thriving has anything to do with scumbags like the one from Wyoming posing with a crippled, defeated wolf in a state where basically no restrictions exist about how many and in which ways apex predators are allowed to be murdered. Looking at Montana, Dakota, Wyoming, Pennsylvania and Utah. No that can't be it. The natural way has to be to gun them down from helicopters with gatling guns. That's how it always has been done in good old america.

There have been 21 lethal attacks of wolves on humans in the recorded history of North America EVER and 2 lethal attacks in the last century.

The reintroduction of wolves transformed the ecosystem of Yellowstone for good. They not only hunt but disperse ruminants so they don't concentrate on specific locations and interrupt plantlife there. They hunt weak prey, maybe those that suffer from illness (like CWD) already. They leave carrion for scavengers who can spread seeds of specific trees like willows which also had a comeback in Yellowstone. Through dispersing the ruminants they enabled the comeback of the beaver who also worked towards restoring the plantlife via new waterways.

I'm from Europe but I see the stupidity and sadism of North Americans especially in Wyoming, North- and South Dakota, Montana, Utah & Pennsylvania everyday on my timeline. The depicted case is no singular event. They systematically hunt down apex predators like foxes, wolves, coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions and also very advantageous animals like oppossums (ticks) and beavers (preventing wildfires and restoring nature) and racoons (pestcontrol).

The images I've seen made by Pennsylvanian firefighters(!) hunting down foxes in fundraising hunting events were just harrowing.

Then those sick in the head hunters & trappers and their spoiled kids pose themselves as the only viable solution to regulating overpopulating tick-ridden ruminants or the recent superboar infestation after they killed of all their natural predators.

I wish them good luck with CWD and Alpha-Gal ticks in deers when they've exterminated the species that could effectively render CWD harmless:

But thank god your precious livestock can live. Who needs the 4% wild animals (opposed to the 60% of livestock biomass)?

Aquafaba. Can be bought readymade but is also a by-product of cooking dried chickpeas. After soaking chickpeas in water for a night discard the soaking water. Bring fresh water to boil and cook the chickpeas for 1/2 an hour or so. Collect the cooking water. You can even also freeze it for later use. It's important to bring it to room temperature before using it in baking. Can bring a good amount of fluffyness to your doughs.

Diamond Age is my all time favourite (although I read it just one time as I do with all books). In the current age of AI it is very relevant. If nano technology and AI will progress we'll maybe head into the depicted scenario and I hope I'm still alive then.

Cryptonomicon, Anathem, The Baroque Cycle are wild rides and masterpieces too. Anathem was a bit hard to get into but it got really exciting after the first 300 pages (of ~1000) or so.

I did not read that book of Calvino (nor have I heard his name) but there exists a free game on steam called "If on a winter's night four travelers" with very positive reviews which seems to be inspired by the book.
