I really like roam research and its open source alternative obsidian for note taking and research. But I feel there is still something lacking and there is definitely scope for a lot of improvement to make these type of software more useful. Still love the direction in which this is headed and it feels more in-sync than keeping a folder full of text files.

"open source alternative obsidian" Can you share a link to the source? I didn't see a link on obsidian.md

Oh you're right. It's a free alternative not an OSS alternative. For some reason I thought it was OSS. Sorry.

What would you say is the advantage of roam research over the open source alternative of Obsidian?

For starters roam is web based and the other one is desktop software. Also don't think there is a mobile app for later iirc. Also I was wrong that it's OSS. it's a free alternative, it's not OSS.

As an ethical vegetarian for the past five years, I've very interested in cultured (lab-grown) meat technology[1]. FWIW, I'm very happy with my diet and probably wouldn't switch back even if this does become affordable, but I'm 100% supportive of the concept of cruelty-free meat. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultured_meat

I am an ethical meat eater. I would rather eat grass fed beef and lamb than see the additional suffering of hundreds/thousands of rodents (let alone the tens of millions of insects) that me adopting a vegetarian diet would induce. Being poisoned or shredded in a harvester is not a cruelty-free way to die.

On a more philosophical note, I think it is better to have lived and died than to not have ever existed. Given very few cattle and sheep would be born if it wasn’t for meat/dairy production then a case can be made that meat eating is the more ethical option. I do admit that this view is incompatible with my first opinion as there would be many more animals born if I adopted a vegetarian diet.

Haven't seen an update for the release of AoE 4, really hoping they release a demo soon. Been dying to get back to a high quality RTS. I thought the AoE 2 games took a little too long, so hoping these ones are shorter on average.

https://brilliantlightpower.com/hydrino-states-of-hydrogen/ - 12 experiments that prove hydrinos exist - this will revolutionize physics and solve climate change amongst many other things. Yes wikipedia says it's pseudoscience, but that is under skeptic lock and key.

I’m still bullish on AR once Apple launch Glass in early ‘22. Having a real-life videogame HUD with a blue marker showing my next destination sounds fantastic.

Once Facebook and Google get their hooks in it'll be real life but "augmented" with ads and DRM.
