Have you tried lab-grown meat?

It has many other names:

Cultivated Meat: This term is increasingly favored as it accurately describes growing meat from animal cells in a controlled environment. Cell-Based Meat: This name emphasizes that the meat is derived from animal cells rather than whole animals, highlighting its scientific origins. Cultured Meat: Like cu...

Author Matthew Halteman's book Hungry Beautiful Animals is designed to fix that perception and make veganism more appealing and less threatening.

I've always recorded my annual predictions on December 31 or January 1.

However, on December 28, 2024, I started a two-week trip to Dalat, Vietnam. 

I wanted to travel light, so I recorded my annual predictions on December 27, allowing me to leave my audio and video gear in Ho Chi Minh, where I planned to return on January 15, 2025. 

In my podcast a few days ago, I said that my prediction that Jimmy Carter would die in 2024 was wrong.   

Sadly, my 2024 prediction was correct.

In this three-part series, Dr. Robert Edwards and I discuss the fascinating mystery of DB Cooper. In 1971, a man hijacked Flight 305, received $200,000 in $20 bills, 4 parachutes, and skydived into the darkness over the Pacific Northwest, never to be seen again.
