Sambal is fantastic. Gochujang is too, and pretty much required for any kind of korean cooking.

Duck and quail are absolutely amazing, and way better than chicken. I really like pigeon too.
Quail eggs are the best, albeit annoying to work with.
Outside of some fad diets, there isn't really much of a push among anyone to cut plants out of your diet though. There's no need to make fake plant-products generally.
If we include seafood, I definitely do.
But to be fair, I don't think the average person is eating that varied a diet. I am not going to make the claim people on a plant-based diet can't get protein, they can, but they probably aren't getting 10+ different sources of it either.
Yeah Japan. The argument is that the big souvenir boxes are typically left open and shared among all your coworkers (which to be fair, is usually the case in my office). It still seems excessive though.
What are people doing in the states that they actually have even more?
It's the only browser we can use in my office, so have gotten pretty used to it. It's honestly not that bad, they've come a long way since the IE days.
It's not my home-use browser, but it's absolutely serviceable.
Same. I tried once, bounced off because I just hated how the ship flew. Gave it another honest shot recently, found a couple of the explorers but really wasn't enjoying it. Ended up watching the rest in a Let's Play. Honestly not a bad way to experience it if the gameplay is just not vibing with you.
It's surprising because "ancient progenitor civilization" is one of my favourite tropes in media, but this one really just did not do it for me.
A base of vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol with additional additives for nicotine and flavour.
I bought my VG and PG from a local vendor, but those are readily available basically anywhere because they have a lot of uses outside vaping. I ordered pure liquid nicotine (in a PG suspension) online. Flavour additives also ordered online from a fairly reputable vendor that was well known in . I have no idea what policies about sharing vendors are here, but I am happy to give recommendations to anyone if they are looking to make their own juice to save money/be safer.
I mostly made fairly simple flavours, nothing too fancy. I had a friend who actually just vaped VG/PG with nicotine and no flavours at all.
I said this in the other comment, but vaping is the one thing that helped me successfully quit smoking.
Is it healthy? No, at the absolute best it would be neutral. You shouldn't be breathing anything other than clean air. However, I have little doubt that it is better than smoking. My lungs are in great shape now, and I feel just generally much better. If people want to continue to do research on longterm effects of vaping, great!
Are there issues about underage vaping? Sure, but that is a regulation/enforcement issue and shouldn't be used to punish adults with. I have friends that went back to smoking because of vaping being made illegal where they lived, and you cannot convince me that is better for their health.
A lot of the issues we have had about vaping are regulatory issues with stuff like the Vitamin E incident, not a problem with the underlying concept.
When I was vaping I always mixed my own juice, so was very sure of what went in. There's always the chance of buying from a sketchy vendor and getting something weird in your mixes, but most were fairly benign. Vaping liquid is actually pretty simple in composition.
As somebody who vaped for a long time, I kind of disagree with this one. Of every method for quitting smoking, vaping was the easiest and most effective. It let me titrate down to eventually 0 nicotine juice, which let me stop altogether. I only very rarely vape anymore, I keep my mod around in case I am ever out drinking and get an urge, but it is definitely the reason I was able to quit smoking.
The popcorn lung thing is kind of an urban legend, there is no case of any vaper ever getting it from vaping, but diacetyl (the additive in question) has been discontinued in basically all juice just in case anyway.
The usual mantra in vaping communities was always to tell people that if you weren't a smoker already, don't start vaping. Is it better than smoking? Almost assuredly, but it's still not going to be better than just breathing cleaning air. The recommendation was always as a transition away from smoking. It's one of the few hobbies we would congratulate each other over leaving.
If you don't vape or smoke already, don't start though.
It comes up in non-political communities when people make political posts (like this one) but that seems fair game. I don't really see people shoe-horning it in much otherwise.
