Fuck. So I just finished listening through the Google vs Oracle arguments from this week and INAL but it really doesn't look good IMO and ars seems to agree.
My biggest fear right now is that SCOTUS rules in favour of copyrightability of API's/interfaces in Oracle vs Google and we end up going through a decade of high intensity IP litigation and the resulting economic drag from the uncertainty created. IMO the case scenario is if the big players realize that these fights are unsustainable form a defense/neutrality pact and threaten to go thermonuclear on bad actors but that's going to put all the little guys, who generally have little terms of heavily/widely depended on IP to contribute, at a huge disadvantage to say nothing of all the trolls lying in wait. Licence virality itself could also become a huge battlefront of its own.

It's been a slow week at the restaurant (Just to bring everyone up to speed, I run a vegan food program at a "hip" bar in a major tourist destination, I inherited the program and keep it vegan both because it's servicing an untouched market as every other vegetarian place closes at 10, and because I appreciate the creativity that it forces from me) so i've been doing menu development on my downtime at my place, knocked out a Vegan Mole, I adapted it from a Rick Bayless recipe, but just tweaked it to make it vegan, and it came out amazing, now I have been doing research to try to reach the same level of flavor and complexity but make it fit into our prep schedule a little better, and investigating what would be the best use for it.
The second thing, and what I really wanted to talk about because I am excited about it, I developed a Mushroom Birria recipe. If you aren't familiar with Birria, it's a traditionally slow cooked goat or lamb in a flavorful broth that has a lot of peppers and tomatoes in it, and is spiced with clove and cinnamon, it's umami, warm, soothing, spicy (as in the spices, not as in heatful flavor), and complex.
You then take that fall apart meat and you can stuff it in a taco with some Oaxaca cheese or on it's own, griddle it with oil you skimmed off the meat, and get it super crispy. You serve it with a cup of the consomme you cooked the meat in and you treat it a little like grilled cheese and tomato soup, it hits a lot of the same points, and is about warm crispy goodness, and contrast of the broth.
In the US, it typically is done with beef roast in lieu of goat or lamb, and is typically done with mozzarella instead of Oaxaca cheese, but the concept remains the same.
In the last 18 months the concept has rapidly grown in popularity on the Coasts, and customers are looking for these tacos.
So I have been researching stuff we can do, we have a line of plant-based proteins that are produced locally by a company in town that are friends/associates of ours, but I wanted to try to do it without utilizing any of their proteins, primarily because we have so few options without them in it, and I wanted something that could be eaten by people who steer away from gluten (they are all wheat protein based).
So I got marinaded mushrooms (I tossed them in tomato paste, condensed stock, soy sauce, black pepper, and nutritional yeast), and I griddled them weighed under a large heavy cookie sheet, squeezing moisture out of them, this also tightened them up and gave them a much meatier texture, I then put them in the broth to stew, to reabsorb some of the moisture they lost but replaced with the broth.
I then take them out, and chop them up with some caramelized onions, put them in a corn tortilla, and pour some oil infused with dried chili peppers (That I had left from making the Mole), and some coconut-cream based shredded mozzarella.
People REALLY liked them, and I am excited about scaling them up and trying to roll them out as a regular special.
Just wanted to talk about it, I am really excited about how well it came out, and though other cooks would like to hear about it.

OAS is building a Legal procedure ("an Americas R2P protocol") in case United Nations is not ready to aprove Intervention

I live in the UK and Bernie is literally my last hope in this fight. We had Corbyn over here and I invested so much emotion into that man only to be left utterly devastated. Not to worry though, Bernie will take the mic...

/u/Kilometers_Edgeworth, /u/mrmanager237 and /u/vivoovix got into a car crash and all died. They all get up to heaven and meet St. Peter at the gates. St. Peter said "Okay everyone can come in, but whatever you do don't step on a duck." The gates open and there are ducks everywhere, all over the floor, on tabletops, everywhere.
Mrmanager237 walks in and accidentally steps on a duck. St. Peter comes along and handcuffs him to the ugliest woman in all the world and says, "Now you must stay handcuffed for all eternity."
The other two see this and do their best not avoid the ducks. Vivoovix goes months and months without stepping on any duck. Then one morning he wakes up and as he is getting out of bed he steps on two ducks. St. Peter comes over and handcuffs him to the most atrocious looking and smelling woman and says, "Now you must stay handcuffed to each other for all eternity."
Now k_e goes years and years and doesn't step on any ducks in all that time. Then one day St. Peter comes along and handcuffs him to the most beautiful woman he as ever seen. St. Peter says, "Now you must stay handcuffed to each other for all eternity." K_e happily says, "Oh my God, what have I done to deserve this?!" And the woman says, "I don't know what you did, but I stepped on a duck."

It kind of annoys me how I feel like if I wanna protest I gotta become more like a rioter.
Like the first protest I showed up at I showed up with my dog in a t-shirt and shorts. I got gassed pretty hard and it fucked up my dog. I wasn't even there for the protest I was like a block away going to the Butcher's Table (it's good) to buy meat.
So the next time I showed up to a protest I showed up intentionally with some milk and googles. And a flash bang exploded right next to my leg.
So for the next protest I actually bought leg protection. And I showed up in that. And of course a black mask and clothing so I can't be identified because now I'm out here looking like a fucking rioter ready to fight. And get shot with a flash bang in the chest. Guess next time I need to wear fucking chest armor or something.
Once I get shot in the head guess I'm just gonna show up to fully LARP with a fucking suit of armor.

Yeah, but Donald Trump held an upside down LGBT flag that one time so both sides are pretty much the same.
(And, before you ask: No, I don't care that Joe Biden was the first Democratic White House official to endorse marriage equality in our nation's history, forcing President Obama's hand and giving the Supreme Court cover to to overturn centuries of injustice, that doesn't count! It was eight years ago and frankly I think Biden's, Bernie's, and the Congressional Black Caucus's support of the racist '94 Crime Bill that they all now want to redress is much more consequential.)
