You need to take into account that we get more from cows than just milk.

We also get beef, leather, gelatine and who knows what else I dont know about so that needs to be taken into account as well.
The argument was brought up that almonds use a lot of water, I showed that cows used more.
Almonds have other uses as well. And cows used for milk aren't the same ones that are used for meat. You can also look into non-cow alternatives for meat (or protein in general) and other products.

Sounds like big almond is really getting into everyone's head. Not only are almonds one of the worst water consumers, being a significant contributor to California's water problems, but almond milk has almost no protein when compared to regular milk. You also can substitute almond milk for regular milk in any sort of baking because the lack of fat is a problem with binding the ingredients together.

Almond milk isn't a substitute for regular milk. At best, it's a substitute for people who drink water but don't like the taste.

Still much better than cow milk for the environment. There's other options for protein and fat content as well. Meanwhile, you're out here posting dairy propaganda with milky diarrhea.

I don't believe this because if this was the case, Golden corral would not still be in business
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Corral#Controversies

Similar issues for Chipotle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chipotle_Mexican_Grill#Food_safety

Basically, there's constant food safety issues at these restaurants because of their policies. They're still in business because damages are typically capped and not high enough to shut them down.
Food buffets, in general, often have food safety issues. Google your "<your city> food inspections". Generally you'll see things like:
  • Raw animal foods not properly separated from each other in holding unit based upon minimum required cooking temperature. Observed raw beef stored over raw shrimp in the reach in cooler in the kitchen. Operator properly stored the raw food products. **Corrected On-Site** **Warning**
  • Rodent activity present as evidenced by rodent droppings found. Observed approximately 15 rodent droppings in kitchen near the handwashing sink. **Warning**
  • Shell eggs not stored at an ambient air temperature of 45 degrees Fahrenheit or less. Observed raw shell eggs cold holding at 59F on prep table for less than 1 hour. Operator stored the eggs in the walk in cooler. **Corrective Action Taken** **Warning**
  • Accumulation of black/green mold-like substance in the interior of the ice machine/bin. Observed black like substance in ice bin.
  • Raw fruits/vegetables not washed prior to preparation. Employee cut lettuce before washing. Employee washed the cut and uncut lettuce.
Those sound basic, but cross-contamination, improper temperature holding, and improper hand washing are how almost all cases of foodborne illness occur. And it generally takes multiple violations and small (~$500) fines to occur, again and again, before food inspectors will actually shut you down.

The problem is that they claimed this is the movie that Andy watched so many times and the reason he loves Buzz.
This is more a Hollywood remake 25 years later made to make people like Andy bring his own kids to watch it because of nostalgia.
I was walking down the toy aisle of Walmart last week and there were still so many Lightyear toys. Disney clearly expected the movie to do better.

I liked the first half of the movie, though it had some issues. But the last half just sucked. Boring, didn't make any sense, kinda stupid, and had a lot of mixed messages. Felt like the movie wasn't ready and they had too many ideas and did a poor job editing them.

Dobbs is the ruling that struck down federal right to abortion. Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization

Mifepristone is an abortion pill that effectively had its FDA approval reversed in an absolutely ridiculous ruling by a federal judge (political appointee by Trump). The case is Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. U.S. Food and Drug Administration, though it's usually just called "mifepristone ruling."

And there is a LOT of shit going down in states, some of which are just barely red-controlled, that is completely blatantly anti-freedom and anti-democracy. If conservatives or libertarians cared, they'd be pissed.

Gobstoppers12 posted...
The blame for that is on the creators. They decided to put out two big hits on major home consoles pretty close together, then for some reason decided that Kingdom Hearts would be a handheld series for like 14 years.

A lot of people (myself included) played 1 and 2 and loved them, but had no interest in the handheld games. Turns out the handheld games were canon all along, and when KH3 came out literally 14 years after 2, it was full of characters we didn't recognize and story themes we had never heard of before.

You can't jump a major franchise back and forth between stationary consoles and handheld systems and expect everybody to follow it.

Even though they put out the collections and story summaries and whatnot, the games were just handheld games ported to more powerful hardware. A lot of people still didn't care about those games.

The series basically shot itself in the foot by making everything canon. It did the thing that comic book publishers do, the thing that scares people off with hundreds of dollars worth of required reading just to follow the story of the major releases.
It's only been 17 years from KH1.
Anybody reasonable would understand how KH3 needs some basic story summary to refresh older players and let brand new players jump in. Anybody reasonable.
