Enco,

I’ve heard lab grown meat is served in restaurants in Singapore. Still a process that needs to be refined. Carbon emissions will be significantly lower i think. Land requirements obviously far lower. The cells still need food so i guess that and energy are required. How much compared to animal farms? No can say.

Not only would orthodox…[Read more]

Reg,

I don’t know of any atheist Popes or do i but certainly have read about atheist preachers. It is a lucrative gig. Might even do some good if the grifter atheist fesses after the fact. Naa. It probably would not.

Your line, i want to make them think for themselves is something i’ve been pondering. AI might be employed to create good…[Read more]

Jake:

I hope Vat-Meat works out well, too, though I wonder if the inputs to grow it would be any different or more complicated than meat raised by regular animal husbandry.

I wonder if Orthodoxers would deem it Kosher if cattle is slaughtered with single non-full-auto shot from an Uzi or a Galil?

Thanks Jake, I appreciate that. Yesterday a friend of mine said “Reg, I am so glad you are an atheist!” I looked a bit bemused as we know each other a long time and are both of us are ‘militant’ anti-theists. She caught my look and continued…..”I mean, even as an atheist, you would be able to convince certain people that God is real”. I replied…[Read more]

That was truly excellent Reg. Very well done.

Was thinking about reading the Metamorphosis again. So cool that great literature is available at a click.

Let’s take the ‘Kafka Intifada’  a little further. However, I will coin it the “The Samsa Effect”.

Gregor does know that something has happened to him. What he fails to grasp initially is the significance of his transformation. His world has changed beyond recognition, but his inherited routine of thought continues running as though nothing fu…[Read more]

I am thankful to have vegetable meat. Hope cultured meat is on horizon and affordable too.

There are hot dogs that taste like cheap ball park franks. Sausage as good as sausage from meat. Hamburg a close second but when doctored indistinguishable. Bacon with the texture and not quite the taste and none of that bacony smell. Chicken is not that…[Read more]

Jake:

Enco, i aine even a vegetarian. I eat fish.

Oh, so you are a pascatarian. Sorry I miscaracterized your position. I must be thinking of another Forum member, probably from the past.

I liked a lot of different meat. Not veal. And when i found it what it was i cringed. Maybe it is a reaction like ‘the women, the children’. What about men…

I liked a lot of different meat. Not veal. And when i found it what it was i cringed. Maybe it is a reaction like ‘the women, the children’. What about men? Why don’t men count? Even old men?

The distribution of photos and information regarding clubbing of seals predates foundation of PETA. I can’t…[Read more]

Jake:

Vegan veal is an unhappy meal. So is clubbed seal.

I said Vegan Veal, not Real Veal. I thought Veganism was your thing. Or do you hate Vegan meat substitutes as much as most other people of taste?

As for clubbed seal, is PETA virtue-signalling, calling out and cancelling Innuits in the Polar North with PETA’s famous nude protests?…[Read more]

West is justified in being suspicious of Islam?

Duh.

Mic drop.

Boom.

That was easy. Although that guy might have mentioned how UAE is one of the few that thrives in spite of Islam and has banned Muslim Brotherhood. If UAE is suspicious, not suspicious knowledgeable about Islam maybe we ought to pay heed? Might have mentioned MB and its…[Read more]

Jake:

Good work Enco. Funny stuff.

Thank you! I’ll be here an indefinite time! Try the Vegan Veal!😁🪴🦌

Jake:

Today and for the first time in accord with best of my recollection i backwarded shabbat shalom. phonetically cuz that is all ya can do i think if you are another backwards talker. Molash Tabbash. What a rhyme!

The reversal of the word order of the Hebrew phrase is a perfect backwards-ing. It is also a reversal of meaning also because…[Read more]

Good work Enco. Funny stuff.

Jake:

I apologize for writing the above dreck. A bit fahklempt. Gotta be a mensch. A mensch on the bench.

Hey, it wasn’t dreck. Maybe Mesuggah, but a fun way of shul-ing me on a couple of new words: “concactenation” and “oblation”.

And a Mench on a Bench is better than. being an Elf on the Shelf. The latter can be quite creepy. They’re like…[Read more]

Weird Willy was so weird…Match game…I aver and affirm the truth of the matter about to be asserted. Today and for the first time in accord with best of my recollection i backwarded shabbat shalom. phonetically cuz that is all ya can do i think if you are another backwards talker. Molash Tabbash. What a rhyme!

There is a Jewish Community Center in Charlotte, NC called Shalom Park, which runs vastly different from Christian Nationalist, Islamist, and Neo-Nazi Intentional Communities. Here is their link and an exerpt from their About page:

Simon:

I don’t get why anyone would believe in stuff because they want to, rather than because they think it’s true. I feel we have some kind of duty to the truth to be open-minded, independent-minded and anti-authoritarian in our thinking, and to let facts speak for themselves. I assume people don’t know they’re being cross-eyed. In other w…
