I haven't watched the show, but there's someone on there who calls themselves a vegan but prepares non-vegan food? Veganism is about avoiding animal exploitation. I don't think you should call yourself a vegan if you're bending your rules to win a cooking competition.

Btw humans eating meat played a crucial role in our survival, development and evolution.

And now it plays a crucial role in our environment's destruction, providing a major potential vector for antibiotic-resistant disease, and the suffering and death of billions of sentient animals a year.

Meat was a necessary evil for humanity to get to where it is since food has historically been scarce and nutritional knowledge was limited, but for much of humanity that's not the case anymore. Instead of finding ways to decrease our meat consumption we've doubled down on it.

The worst part of the Battle of Hogwarts was Neville killing Nagini. In the books it's short but sweet. Voldemort invites Neville to join him, and Neville defies him. So Voldemort binds him with a spell, puts the Sorting Hat on him, and sets it on fire. Neville breaks free, pulls the Griffindor's sword out of the hat, and cuts Nagini's head off in one swing. In the movie Voldemort mocks him, and then Neville gives some goofy speech. Then there's a stupid chase with the trio trying to kill Nagini before Neville finally does.

Cricket Wireless has a deal where you get an iPhone SE 2020 for $50 for the 64GB version or $100 for the 128GB version if you buy 2 months of unlimited service. To make it cheaper, you can get a referral code from a Cricket customer for $25 off (you can find them on the internet or PM me for one). You can also get more months of service because you can instantly change that those 2 months to 4 months with 2GB of data after you sign up. After 6 months you can get the phone unlocked. It's all a bit convoluted, but it's a great deal.

Black and White are popular among fans these days because it had the best story of any Pokemon game.

Heart Gold and Soul Silver have a bunch of post-game content, and it's a pretty big game considering there are two regions to explore.

The only issue I have with playing some of the older games is you miss out of some of the quality of life improvements the later games bring. The best thing to come out of Sun and Moon was the removal of HMs.

This is why I don't think the housing market is going to "settle down" any time soon. This isn't like 2008 where a bunch of people with bad credit were buying. You have the rich buying them in cash for more than they are worth while waiving inspections. And the people in their current houses have little incentive to sell. Work from home is more common, so you don't need to move to find a new job. And with interest rates so low many are refinancing instead, giving them even less reason to move. Plus what's the point of selling your house right now if doing so just puts you in a bidding war for another one?

It games moderately moderately well. You'll be able to play most games at moderate settings. It's integrated GPU is somewhere around the level of a mobile GTX 1050. A vast majority of games on the Mac are still x86, so most will be running through an emulation layer. But the M1 is a very good processor, so it generally doesn't slow games down too bad. That said there are only a handful of games with native ARM support, most of which are iOS games since M1 Macs can run iOS apps.

Another interesting thing is Dolphin, the Gamecube and Wii emulator. It recently got an ARM port for M1 Macs, and it runs great.
