Who use dermestid beetles as clean up crew? The usual beetle for that matter is Alphitobius diaperinus (or any tenebrionid), maybe dermestid beetles don't eat oothecas?

I have several tenebrionids, A. diaperinus are in my dubia roach bin because those roaches keep the ootheca inside, but I can't put any tenebrionid with my red runners because they lay the ootheca and the larvae could eat that.

So... 100000€ because 19 cats, that shouldn't be there, drowned. Domestic cats are extinction agents, cat colonies need to disappear (not by drowning the cats, ideally in my mind they should go to a really big building just for them, I am a silly dreamer) and if the cats aren't feral, they should fine owners that let them roam outside. It's bad for the ecosystem, dangerous for the cat and even for their humans (zoonosis).

That money would be better spent taking cats off the street.
I don't find this uplifting at all.

I recall you could pay for some VPS but it was years ago and I know nothing about the current situation.

Cryptocurrency was going to be an alternative coin but it's just used to speculate and buy illegal things.

But we're mainstream now, we need to improve our unbearability.

It's the year of veganism (and Linux) in your household.

In my head it was said with the voice of Jenna Maroney (30 Rock).

Scam. I think the word is scam.

I know it can be difficult, specially depending on where you live. I live in what could be considered a privileged country regarding access to food, specially fresh produce an vegan options; since what now are called walkable cities are the common thing in Europe distance is no issue either.

If you can, and I know is a big "if" (price and availability where you live), I would recommend you to try and add textured soy protein to your diet. It's dry, so it's light and you can store it for a long time, and it's really versatile and easy to use.

Your situation is what it is because the system is what it is and individually we can do practically nothing to change it, you do what you can do and you shouldn't feel bad for not being able to do more. First you have to take care of yourself. /hug

Yes, it counts to the point there are vegans not eating figs because of the insect pollinator dies inside the fruit. I eat figs because that's just the natural life cycle for that species.

From time to time I see a debate about animals like clams, which have no central nervous system and therefore lack the capability to suffer. Usually the approach to this is "if it tries to hide/run from me, I won't eat it" and a little less "I won't eat them because of the ecological impact".
