Lab grown meat advances to steaks (small ones)

[freebeard]

My career arc wasn't so illustrious. I went from (SAT at 99.5 percentile, college graduate, military officer) to being unemployable. There was a nice bump when the personal computer was invented (they'd hire any body that could do the work) and I eventually got to nine years of employment in tech support at Symantec. But at the end I was a clerk in a (recycled electronics) thrift store.

OTOH, my son went from high school to six years in the Navy and hasn't been unemployed since he mustered out. He works for corporations that buy each other out in the Seattle area.

I never took the SAT, but I did well on the ACT (32 overall, I think 36 is perfect), and our school told everyone to take the ASVAB as it's 'like free practice for the ACT', and got a 98. I got daily mail from all branches of the military for the 10 years following that, and still get some once in a while.

I took the ASVAB in middle school and scored 99 in everything but coding speed. Never took any other tests, as I'm not going to pay to take a test when I already know what I know, and others can pay if they want to know what I know.

Went to enlist and was told my ASVAB scores were lost, so I took the test again and performed the same as I did in middle school. Was unemployable to the military for reasons I've shared before.

Evidently I haven't been around long enough to know. It doesn't really matter though.

The more time I spend at this slow paced job, the more seriously I consider enlisting in engineering school, something I've actually contacted the college about before and they were receptive to having me enroll.

I took an IQ test in high school and for vocation they said I could be whatever I choose, but they wouldn't tell me my IQ because "We don't want to give you a swollen head".

At this point I'd say they succeeded in keeping me down.

Back to the "meat without killing" theme, I want to ask you guys in USA :

Have you tried Beyounf Meat chicken or Beyound Meat burger ?
Or Impossible Burger?

[redpoint5]

No, but if someone offered it to me, I'd eat it. I'm not one to turn down food, even if it's barely food.

What I tell people is that if I'm cooking I'm vegetarian (not rilly true), but if someone else is cooking, I'll eat whatever is put in front of me.

Coburg Pizza has an All-Amerrican BLT pizza, with lettuce and sliced tomatoes.

I must try it.

They said Impossible Burger it's better than Beyound Burger due the "vegan hemoglobine", but the Beyound Meat's product that is a chicken replacement it's said to be the best vegan ticken ever made, very close in texture and taste.
