SciTechDaily: Why Plant-Based Eggs Are Finally Getting the Spotlight
The team also asked participants to rate how plant-based eggs would compare to traditional ones. Unsurprisingly, expected taste and appearance still favor the classic egg.
A plant-based egg, is not an egg. Not even a little bit. A traditional egg comes from a chicken. If the cook is using ostrich or turtle eggs to make my omelet, he is obliged to make that clear.
Today I learned that until the mid-1800’s, people who didn’t eat meat were referred to as “Pythagoreans”. That’s about the time when some killjoy invented the word “vegetarian”.
This Rubens painting is Pythagoras Advocating Vegetarianism.
That’s from Wikipedia, and it doesn’t make sense because the painting is from the 1600’s. Doesn’t matter, I’m still going to start calling them Pythagoreans.
In Arthur Conan Doyle’s book, Gothic Tales, he refers to a character as a Pythagorean, so the word was in usage in the 1800’s. Back in the day, culture changed slowly and not uniformly.

Those aren’t fat Black women. Statues #2 and #4 would be overweight, but #2 looks like she’d be too tall and #4 carries too much weight in her belly. I’m assuming that a fat Black woman is the same as a fat Black lady.

Stephen Colbert is a whiny little pussy, and he wants to make sure that everyone knows it.
Comedy is subjective, so not everyone is going to get his humor. Numbers are not subjective. For several years, Colbert was paid $20 million a year for show that could not even bring in enough revenue to cover two-thirds of the budget. His staff of 200 people could not produce a show that was more than mediocre. That have to be a thousand people on Youtube who do a better job with 1% of Colbert’s resources.
Colbert gets to keep the scam running for one more season, and he acts like a victim. Colbert is presenting himself as a martyr for disrespecting our president, but he sounds like a garden-variety Progressive.
Steve Miller Band unexpectedly pulls the plug on entire North American tour
The Steve Miller Band unexpectedly canceled their North American tour Wednesday, citing risky weather patterns.

Stephen Colbert’s Late Show is getting cancelled, and his competitors aren’t doing much better. Broadcast networks may as well go back to a test pattern at midnight, and just sign off until morning.
