    Violife is probably the best for shredded (mozzarella/cheddar) but its still not great. I really like Field Roast Chao slices for things like burgers or sandwiches.

    Because after 8 years the idea of eating meat has no remaining appeal and is switching more to mild revulsion. Why would I order a substitute that is a close copy of that? I'll sti…

    I've been vegetarian for about 8 years and won't buy them and try to avoid them in restaurants because they're too meat-like. Unfortunately they've made good non-fake meat vegetari…

    Might be thinking of Google Buzz (hey, remember Buzz!?). Google+ was a few years later (2011)

    I still kinda wonder if they saw the success of the invite system for gmail (I remember a lot of late nights begging for an invite on various forums) and thought that it would work…

    I loved Wave. It came out my senior year of college; and for one class all four of us on a group project managed to snag it and it was amazing. Unfortunately, for every other class…

    I feel like you need to make sure the rental side is the first thing people see. My initial reaction at being dumped on the "Explore" section was "this is just a spammy pinterest s…

    It might be part of the feedback loop, but from my experience it always starts at the company level. I think I've been under a pay freeze for 4 of the last 6 years, and a capped 2%…

    I've been "lucky" enough to get to trial some AI FEM-like structural solvers. At best, they're sortof ok for linear, small deformation problems. The kind of models where we could g…

    Definitely working off an incomplete data set from wikidata. According to the wikidata, there are no articles for the United States in whatever languages VEP, GUR, and UR are, but:…

    I like Babbel a lot for reading/writing/listening but their speaking is a little weak. It's there but I find it pretty flaky - either so permissive it'll accept just about any soun…

    Duolingo is little better than a gacha game these days. It wasn't bad early on but its nearly unusable these days. I like Babbel a lot for early levels - its gotten me back to a ro…

    The place I most notice it is the Hugo nominations. Pre-2010 its almost exclusively a White Male author club. 2010-2016 seemed to be a fairly decent balance. 2017 and later there's…
