Bonsoir

Let's just adopt them all.
Invade my home, not the native fauna.

Shadow of Mordor in a nutshell.

The goal of an emergency fund is to be available for an eventual emergency. If you lose your job and need to live on saved up money for a few months, you might be forced to sell stock at the wrong time, losing capital. There is a middle ground where you invest that money in a low-risk investment product that will grow with time, without the volatility of the stock market.
To be fair, 6 month is a lot, and most likely not the first goal someone should have when it comes to personal finance starting from zero.

I toyed with a Pinephone last year. Most of my complains were toward the hardware, although I didn't try every basic functionality either.
It took me a while to setup the OS because I wanted to try a few different distros and screwed up a few times here and there. Arch was the most stable of those I tried. It also comes with a built-in right to brag about using Arch, which is cool. I think that using a more recent and higher grade phone could make it usable in the day to day, as the pinephone is more of a development tool. Otherwise, give it a few more years.

Just install Linux mobile at this point

All we need is to engineer animals to consent being eaten.

I don't have one, I'm browsing from my computer. I still go through all the inconveniences listed above and some more. Checkmate, smartphone user.

Yeah, even visualization aside, I guess insects are not that interesting to cook compared to your usual animals. You probably won't make yourself a "steak" from crickets alone. What is usually sold is flour. You can spread it on your salad to add proteins, or make burgers patties with them.
I write all that as if I was an expert, but I honestly never tried it ^^. One day, probably.

They are really expensive because no one is buying them but people who have time and money to spend on changing their habits.
BUT! They are actually pretty cheap to raise yourself. Crickets can eat leftovers and parts of vegetable you sometimes don't want to eat like potato peels. We used to do that to feed our lizards and spiders at home. I guess that preparing them for human consumption would be a bit longer (drying and grinding them, or whatever), but still much cheaper than store-bought meat.

Unary base is the basest base
