Nice try, FBI. Not today, CIA. Go away, NSA. Dirty tricks, MI6. Slow your roll, INTERPOL. Not taking your bait, Department of State. Good attempt at obscurity, Department of Homeland Security.
Yea, sleep studies suck. You're in stuffy room tethered to a machine by a million wires everywhere from your knees up and covered in smelly glue and sticky pads. After a night of that, if you're lucky, you'll get to stay for the entire next day and try to force yourself to take naps every couple of hours.
You can actually use it to make your own beyond-style burgers and sausages. That recipe didn't work super well for me, so I developed my own which I can post if you're interested.
TVP is useful anywhere you'd normally use ground meat, such as in chili, but adding a binder, as above, makes it useful for applications like sausage rolls, keema naan, etc.
You can also get TVP in large chunks or slices. For this stuff, I like to hydrate in stock with a little vinegar to get rid of that off-taste some TVP has, then squeeze out the moisture and sear in a large amount of fat. Prepared in this way, it is almost indistinguishable from meat.
You can also fry small, unhydrated TVP crumbles in oil and season with salt, MSG, and liquid smoke to make your own fake bacon bits. I like to use them on baked potatoes.
Miller requested a cup of hot tea, which, according to the suit, was “presented to [him] filled to the brim, at an unsafely and unreasonably high temperature and without any form of a lid.”
Certain teas and all coffee requires very hot water to extract properly. It's really not the sort of thing you ought to be drinking at all unless you're
stationary, sat at a table, and have ample leg room to move quickly in case of spills.
I'd start with Kropotkin's "The Conquest of Bread" followed by Gelderloos' "Anarchy Works." Kropotkin explains the theory behind why libertarian socialism / anarchist communism is a better, more fair way to structure society, while exhaustively addressing common objections. Gelderloos writes from a modern perspective while offering examples of non-hierarchal human organization throughout history. For those who (somehow) read these and remain convinced that the idea is utopian, I'd recommend Kropotkin's essay "Are We Good Enough," and his principal scientific work: "Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution" which offers a compelling counter-argument to the 'dog eat dog' conclusion drawn by many from Darwin's theory of evolution by positing that cooperation is sustained in humans and animals over time through natural selection.
For a quick and dirty intro to the basic idea of what classical anarchism is: "An Anarchist Program" - Errico Malatesta.
Anarchism is a line of political thought that goes back for well over a century, with many branches and differing opinions; like any group, libertarian socialists are not a monolith. Anarchism, including anarchist communism, is a response not only to capitalism, but to other branches of leftist thought: while communist revolutions were taking place around the world, anarchists were there alongside them, critiquing the practices that continue to be critiqued today concerning communist projects with their focus on challenging power and unnecessary hierarchy: who has power over who, why, and is it strictly necessary? As someone once said: "Freedom without equality is the jungle. Equality without freedom is prison. I want neither the jungle nor prison." That is what classical anarchist thought brings to the table: it examines how society can be structured while providing both freedom and equality in a way that neither capitalist thinking nor other leftist schools of thought adequately address.
I also get this when playing games. I think it might be a steam thing.
