I feel like someone not releasing anything but squatting IP rights for 13 years is a poor argument for longer copyright terms.

But 'cold' and 'heated' are bad. People are weird about temperature.

It's interesting that it's the taste that threw you off, usually texture is the bigger one for me. Chicken flavour primarily comes from the fat rather than the meat so I always assumed that was the easy part to replicate. We've had wildly popular meat-free chicken flavoured products for decades and that was just to make a cheaper product before meat-free was popular, it could just be that I'm too used to artificial chicken flavours. It's relatively easy to find meat-free chicken (or beef) stock these days too.

It's probably more that fake chicken in general has been really good for a while now, you'd be hard pressed to know it's not real chicken if you weren't told beforehand. My local shop puts most meat-free stuff all in one corner together, but meat-free chicken nuggets get to go on display next to the real stuff in the freezer section.

Red meat is the difficult stuff, most fakes aren't great and it's almost always easy to tell it's not real meat. When I feel like sausages I usually go for Richmond meat-free ones, I do like them but it's very obvious it's not pork. They have recently released cocktail sausages I love, though!

Your security is only as good as the weakest link, which is usually people. If your password policy encourages users to stick a note to their screen then your weakest link is anyone in the office deciding to take a selfie or joining a call with their camera on. Best practices balance security with what users are actually willing to do.

According to this list it was used figuratively by Jane Austen, who I believe died more than 200 years ago. That page also claims the earliest known use is 1769, so it's probably less than 300 years in writing? It's moot either way, if you're going for an etymological argument you could go further and say literally should mean anything to do with letters or writing, from the original Latin literalis/litteralis "of or belonging to letters or writing".

Hard disagree; it's not a useful comment precisely because it's prescriptivism. It's suggesting people are incorrect because they're using a commonly accepted meaning of a word, that's just not how language works.

Edit: Perhaps I should be clearer. The "less vs fewer" rule was invented roughly 200 years ago and doesn't actually hold true, "less" has been used this way for far longer. It's the epitome of "I want English to work this way, fuck everyone else".

Good luck remembering them all, also change them all every 30 days, so here are my secrets.

Password expiry hasn't been considered best practice for a long time (must be at least a decade now?) largely because of the other points you mentioned; it leads to weak easily memorable passwords written somewhere easily accessible. Even when it was considered good 30 days would have been an unusually short time.

Current advice is to change passwords whenever there's a chance it's been compromised, not on a schedule.

Language is defined by how it's used, if it's common for people to say "less" then that is correct. Trying to define the only "correct" usage counter to how people actually use the language is prescriptivism, which rarely changes how people actually speak. The only real use of prescriptivism is elitism.

You clearly understood what was said, you just wanted to announce you're "better" at English.

I'm not sure I follow your logic here. You believe you'll come into contact with other people's piss and shit less often when people don't wash their hands?

[-] [email protected] 22 points 2 weeks ago

Urine isn't sterile. While it's true that paper towels are better than dryers, drying your hands (even with a dryer) is better than not drying. Washing your hands is, obviously, better than not washing your hands.

If you don't wash your hands you're already in the worst case. It makes no sense to complain about the methods of drying available.

I'm not sure this specific piece has a title, it's just listed as Shop Art for the board game Flamecraft.
