It should - American police are trained in Israeli tactics. Some US states like New York and Georgia literally send cops to Israel to learn protest suppression.

Not the solution for you then.

If it’s small and you can spread it out (wooded area, on foot paths, etc), it will break down faster. The two inch rule is: if it’s not more than 2” thick and not more than 2” off the ground, it should break down in 2 years.

That would be healthier, but it’s no wonder you were disappointed with the results. The stickiness of the dates would definitely let you lower the fat content, but replacing all of that with water is going to give a very different texture.

To mimic the texture of the saturated fats, you’d do better to use olive oil or the avocado oil you suggested and store the result in the refrigerator. Both of those solidify at refrigerator temperatures the way the saturated fats do at room temperature - canola doesn’t, so that won’t work as well.

Replacing the powdered milk with oats (which would also help a little with gelling the mixture) is good, but don’t forget to add a pinch of salt that is inherent in cow’s milk but the oats are lacking.

You’ll still not be getting the flavor exactly, but those two substitutions should get you a lot closer and a much more similar texture. The walnuts in particular are definitely going to throw you off though. You could reduce the cocoa powder slightly to make up for the extra bitterness, but they would still add a heavier earthy flavor to the mix that people used to milk rather than dark chocolate probably won’t find appealing.

As someone who would never, ever do this to one of my beloved collection: Go for it. Watever keeps you enjoying them. As others have said, we’re not talking hundred year old first edition hardcovers here. You can still tape them up and pass them on, unlike those philistines who take one on a hike and rip out the pages they’ve read to use for campfire tinder.

Sorry about the LLM thing - I literally thought “boyfriend” here was used with a wink and a nod to mean an LLM in the same way that people on some forums say “my dog” to mean themselves.

As far as not knowing what I’m talking about though, I’ve spent times on both sides of the Atlantic and used both rooftop and ground based solar where appropriate (though not grid tied) to good effect.

Rebutting your LLM’s points:

1. “Older” houses in much of Europe are often made of stone, newer are frequently cinderblock, and the roof beams in both are massive. They’re holding up tile and slate roofs - the weight of solar panels is a rounding error, and not the concern it is with shoddy US stick-frame construction. So if that’s the “main reason” we’re doing pretty well already.

2. Sub-optimal angle just means the panel doesn’t produce AS MUCH power as it theoretically could. Not that it produces none, and many sub-optimal placements are still financially viable. Beyond that, any south-facing roof available is going to do very well.

3. Fire risks are again much lower on the very common hard-surface roofs. And that same space that allows the oxygen in also separates the fire from the roof, so the only things burning are the panels themselves and the fire soesn’t spread as it might with a ground-based installation which, by the way, also has air under the panels and are often over grass.

4. Higher installation and maintenance costs are partially offset by the fact that the cost of land purchase and taxes are €0. That was already covered by the building’s main use. Then you can add the social and financial benefit of keeping those fields in food production. Moving away from animal agriculture would not only mean more food available locally, but also for export as crop yields in other places fall due to climate change.

Finally, the whole framing presents a false dichotomy. This doesn’t have to be an either-or proposition - both-and is an option. We can have solar panels on buildings AND in fields. We can convert growing fields from feed production to food production AND put solar panels on the former pig farms that can’t support crops. Particularly in warmer climates (maybe less applicable in Denmark) we can even raise the solar panels a bit higher AND still grow crops underneath (Agrivoltaics)!

Is it really so unbelievable that a politician might tip off a friend, or assuage an enemy, by giving them inside information that would allow them to profit on betting markets? Is it really so incredible to believe that a government official would try to align policy with a betting position that stood to earn them, or an allied group, hundreds of thousands of dollars?

Congratulations - you just described the stock market.

Cis people are people whose gender identity matches their sex assigned at birth. It’s basically anyone that isn’t transgender, nonbinary, or intersex.

It matters in this contect because while transgender people can advocate for their own rights, they don’t have the leverage needed to succeed unless cisgender (cis) people help.

Before going to Flatpak just for newer versions of software, consider APT pinning. You can actually use testing or Sid packages on more stable versions of Debian while still keeping the advantages of Debian-specific packages.

Unless it’s {shudders} Binary Coded Decimal, in which case it’s only 16.

On the other hand, why assume it’s big endian? It could be 26.

Of course, all of that assumes it codes for a number in the first place. It could … I’ll see myself out.

Remember folks, the S in IOT stands for Security!

Don’t say that - he will.

In the US it is absolutely a tipped position, and has been for decades.
