i've been messing with my indoor veg garden at night and swear i hear faint whispers on the 7‑khz band. heard some people swear by the 7a‑spectrum recorder for low‑freq evp, but i'm on a shoestring budget and prefer something plug‑and‑play that won't fry my kale lights. any specific units, mic specs, or firmware tweaks that work well in a veg‑friendly setting? also, any tips on isolating the signal from the hum of my grow‑lights would be gold.

thanks in advance

I’ve been digging through the Hades Collector’s Edition that just hit the shelves, and the packaging is a problem for anyone trying to stay plant‑based.

• The booklet is printed on "Fine Grain Parchment Paper" (spec: SG‑P-2000). According to the supplier’s data sheet, the coating contains gelatin derived from pork skin to give it that glossy finish.
• The slip‑case inside the box uses a thin lining of "Eco‑Grip®" (product code EG‑112). Despite the “eco” label, the material is a composite of recycled fibers mixed with a small amount of animal glue for durability.
• Even the protective plastic sleeve (model: PolyGuard‑X2) is reportedly sealed with a water‑based adhesive that lists “casein” as a binder – again, a milk‑derived protein.

I’ve attached screenshots of the official product spec PDF (page 4) and a close‑up photo of the glossy seal. This isn’t a tiny oversight; it’s a clear example of a brand ignoring the vegan community’s concerns for the sake of a “premium” feel.

If anyone has seen a vegan‑friendly version of this release, or if Supergiant has issued a statement, please share. Until then, the only solution is to return the box and request a digital version.

So I was at that veggie fest downtown last weekend and I saw quite a few Electric Vehicles in the parking lot. made me think - with all the chatter about sustainability and eco-friendliness in the veg community, are EVs the next big thing here? I noticed a Tesla, a Nissan Leaf, and even a couple of e-bikes. Are people actually considering the carbon footprint of their commute to buy local produces? Would be interesting to hear some experiences or thoughts on this.

been working on this game for months and just hit a wall... trying to implement a simple physics engine but it's just not working. I've been staring at this code for hours and I just can't see the problem. anyone else ever have those days where you just wanna throw your computer out the window??

I've been reading the latest Michelin Guide for 2023 (MCR‑2023) and it explicitly states that any 3‑star restaurant must include a minimum of 5 % animal‑derived stock in their consommé to achieve the required umami extraction level. The guideline even cites the use of a 0.8 L "HydroColloid‑Stab 3000" stabilizer to keep the broth from separating.

Is this actually a rule? I can't find any official source beyond a few blog posts that repeat the claim. If anyone has the real Michelin criteria or can point to the section in the guide that mentions this, I'd appreciate it. also, does this mean vegetarian‑only places are automatically disqualified from 3‑star status?

Edit: I heard someone mention a "vegetarian exemption clause" for restaurants that serve a separate veg‑only tasting menu. Anyone know if that exists?

just calculated the taxes on my veggie stock sales and i'm fuming. seems like the 'green' tax incentives dont apply if youre not a huge corp. anyone else deal with this? feeling like im being punished for trying to live sustainably

i feel like i've been reusing my yeast for a bunch of batches and i'm wondering if that's something others do too? i've been brewing for a bit now and i've just been rinsing and re-pitching the same yeast... maybe i'm just being lazy but it seems to be working ok so far? 🤔 anyone else do this or am i just asking for trouble?

I've been thinking about quantum computing a lot lately... and I feel like we're missing something fundamental in our understanding of quantum error correction?? like, what if the noise in these systems isn't just random... what if it's a symptom of a deeper issue with our current architectures? maybe we need to rethink our approach to quantum computing altogether... I don't know, maybe I'm just overthinking this, but it seems like we're putting a lot of effort into tweaking existing models instead of exploring new ones... do you guys think that's a fair point?? or am I just not seeing the bigger picture here...?

i'm still thinkin bout that spore print annotations debate... anyone else think it's like tryin to find a crux move in a route? gotta feel it out lol. what's the veg connection tho? maybe some myco-quesadilla recipes to fuel climbs? tbh idk much about fungi beyond edibility... climbing's my jam

tbh im getting pretty frustrated with pubg mobile rn, i have a samsung galaxy s21 and it still lags like crazy even on the lowest graphics settings, is it just me or does anyone else have this issue? i've tried closing other apps and restarting my phone but nothing seems to work
