spicy pancake

Never actually seen any besides the cream cheese at Trader Joe’s. Going to keep an eye out now

Certain cheese (mainly hard cheese) is theoretically zero lactose due to fermentation using it up, but I find that even most hard cheeses give me a reaction.

I have a history of psychosomatic reactions to food, though. For example I couldn’t eat beef, chicken, or pork for years after several food poisoning incidents in quick succession. Even though I knew the reaction was all in my head, the physical effects still happened. Super frustrating.

However I have had 2 incidents where I had GI symptoms occur after eating something containing dairy where I didn’t know until I looked at the ingredients list, so I know it’s not 100% in my head.

To my fellow LI sufferers I encourage you to experiment with hard cheeses, as there’s plenty of people who have documented their success with those! :)

(Just do it on a day where you have a bathroom always available, lol.)

this is why at the end of the day I hope we invent Star Trek replicators

and allergy cures

😬 now that’s a rough time. Perfect Day does disclaim milk allergenic on their website but I have no idea if they require their clients to include that on their consumer product packaging.

Surprising (and frustrating) that they didn’t use a properly deodorized grade of oil. Do you mind sharing which products you tried? I’m curious

The foodtech will use yeast as hosts to initially produce casein and whey protein, two of the main proteins found in milk.

Bioreacted casein would be a HUGE leap for cow-free dairy. I remember when Perfect Day started up they were having too much trouble producing casein, so their products couldn’t be used to make stringy or melty cheese.

As a former cheese addict who developed severe lactose intolerance, I’ll just be waiting here for the synthetic cheese. (Please. I miss pain-free cheese so much 😭)

as someone who has spent time living in Philly what were they THINKING lmfao

what having to turn all the water into beer to make it safe to drink does to a culture

I loved Decay so much. Some of the puzzles kinda felt like a proto-Portal 2-co-op

I lol’d

I had a cheap programmable multicolor LED lightbulb that used this technology but worse, as it used audible chirping produced by an app. The beeps were earsplittingly high pitched and had to be played LOUDLY to work.

Occasionally the bulb sensor would hear god knows what noise from outside (nothing in that neighborhood sounded even remotely like the app’s digital harpy screeches) and SUDDENLY ACTIVATE ITS PARTY STROBE LIGHT MODE.

I let my roommate keep it when I moved out.

Yeah the only example I can think of that doesn’t fit that mold is American Mary

the cool premise in which isn’t a world, but a hypothetically possible situation (desperately broke medical student turns to stripping, which leads to back alley surgery for gangsters, which leads to black market body modification surgery) and the letdown isn’t the characters or plot, it’s the hamfisted script and acting lol

Daybreakers (2009)

Excellent premise: vampire post-epidemic society trying to deal with the scarcity of blood, ethical ramifications of keeping the remaining humans sedated for blood harvesting, technical challenges like adapting infrastructure and vehicles to be sun-proof, etc.

The only thing I clearly remember is the premise, cuz the plot, characters, dialogue, action, etc. was all dog trash

Actually, I do remember how badly it mangled the social commentary on the vampires who couldn’t afford blood. Perfect setup for depicting the inhumanity of artificial scarcity and they botched it.
