This whole thread had me wondering how much I'm costing them so I could at least pay my share. A quick search got me this page to donate. There's some information about how they are using that money, but it doesn't seem like they've spent much, and it makes me feel like they've got funding from somewhere else that covers their hosting costs.

Yes, and flour comes in a paper bag. It doesn't stop manufacturers from trying to protect their product from incidental moisture contact.

A company who already packs their product in plastic is going to have a much easier time switching to something like this than changing their whole packing line out for box packing machines.

I think some of y'all are missing a lot of packaging use cases other than food. But even in the food sector, there are dry things like pasta, beans, and rice that don't have salt in them. If it really is as strong as a petroleum plastic for these items, it could eliminate tons of micro plastic.

I'm not a geologist, but I think the planes that typically fly upside down, are significantly lighter than 400 tons.

No, but the not as far right conservatives might. I have a cousin who bought one recently... I'm pretty sure it happened because of the Whitehouse yard sale Trump did with Musk.

I will definitely be trying these, thank you!

I usually just slice up tofu and throw some black salt on it. I'm intrigued by this yolky dipping sauce though. Any chance there's a recipe?

Yeah, there's not an exact analog that can do absolutely everything that a chicken egg can. But there are analogs for just about every use case individually. There's even fake hard boiled eggs. The flavor wasn't quite right, but the texture was spot on. As far as I know there's no way to imitate a skillet egg with an uncooked yolk.
