Europe is in a good position to capitalize on this but Canada does not seriously fund scientific research.

Do you know what fried bees taste like? I imagine they have a more interesting taste if theyre consuming nectar and honey.

I found roasted crickets very bland and tasted like oats. I assume thats what they were fed.

I’d probably eat them if they were extremely cheap and accessible but I dont see the point when chickpeas, beans, lentils, and soy all taste better, are cheaper, and easily sourced.

Also a geologist, I know there are smart people working on this stuff but I’ve also heard from folks that the modern carbon sequestration solutions are largely a grift.

Scalability is a big problem to tackle for sure and I largely agree that carbon sequestration should not be our number one solution to pollution. It infuriates me to no end that these things aren’t even solved problems and yet still touted as reasons why we can keep pumping oil and gas and building pipelines.

I haven’t tried it yet but the concept just seems a lot more intuitive in a way that systems like NixOS and Guix SD arent. I haven’t tried those either though so maybe I’m just ignorant 🤷

This is an interesting argument that I’ve never heard before. Isn’t the question more about whether ai generated art counts as a “derivative work” though? I don’t use AI at all but from what I’ve read, they can generate work that includes watermarks from the source data, would that not strongly imply that these are derivative works?

Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers might satisfy that itch. It’s not for everyone because it’s more of an “ideas driven” story, but I found it to be a very cozy read.
