#Vegan deliciousness. 

A very gourmandesque salad with oven baked potatoes and grilled oyster mushrooms plus all the summery goodies and spices.

Your Vegan Fallacy Is  

Happy 15th of #SeaTember!

"5 Reasons to Care About Crustaceans" ~ Peta2 ~ peta2.com/news/crustaceans-lob

Crabs and lobsters have feelings, too! Check out why we love our underwater friends and never eat them. When PETA does it right, they really do nail it. This handy info-graphic neatly breaks down the "why not eat fish" issue.

We're posting every day this month on the theme of "SeaTember"; i.e. all the ocean related topics.

Everyone who considers themselves aware of 's societal detriment should repeat this challenge:

Would be cool if we could game it - the person who empowers Amazon the least for a year wins a bag of reddit gold.. (oh shit, can't be that).. wins an anonymous account (oh shit, no).. okay, we give them a dirt hut in the middle of the Amazon forest with no internet service.

10 years ago I started using ad blockers because I thought ads were annoying. Now I think that's the _least_ important reason to use them.

I think we should call them "browser firewalls." That more accurately describes their purpose.

The computers on the Voyager probes have over 40 years of uptime, and have been patched at distances measured in light-hours. How?

Reliability, redundancy, reconfigurability.

Radiation-hardened parts, cross-connectible backups, all memory is RAM.

They've patched 'em to have better data compression and more efficient forward error correction as distance resulted in reduced bandwidth.

Can cache data when there's no signal. Have turned off instruments to save power.

@glitcher32 my job involves working everyday with social media and unfortunately this also means Facebook. I do have a limited personal presence there, in the end still based on work reasons. Sorry for the transfer.
