Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

Seitan can be a bit complicated, for sure. The above recipe is definitely not the simplest out there, but it is absolutely delicious. It can be made with regular ol' flour instead of "vital wheat gluten" powder, but that does add a little bit to the complexity.

That said, here's an extremely simple "2 Ingredient" recipe for seitan made with flour. Like tofu, seitan will soak up flavors well, and can be used to simulate almost any meat depending on how you prepare it.

Also, I recommend checking out Sauce Stache (website : youtube) for excellent vegan recipes (including plenty for seitan). Thee Burger Dude is another great source of vegan recipe wisdom (website : youtube).

You should try this recipe, then.

Best seitan roast I've had.

You don't have to use meat if you don't eat it.

Seitan roast with potatoes, onions, and carrots is divine.

Highly recommend this recipe.

Lucky for you the linked article explains the acronym!

Wait, you're not one of those people who only reads headlines, are you?

If you can't come up with any answers to those questions on your own then I don't think it's worth my time responding to this.

What do you think the command would have been, then?

What about Ween?

Sorry if this is the wrong community for this. Not sure where else to put it.

Of course it's not a good reason, but it's also not the main complaint. That's a disingenuous argument.

The problem is that the locations that offer IDs become political footballs.

Imagine that you change the law to require a certain type of ID in order to vote (even though you already have a social security card, it doesn't count for voting purposes), and that said ID cannot be acquired via mail.

Imagine, then, that the place you go to get the necessary ID is closed down, or intentionally understaffed via defunding/budget cuts. Hours reduced to 10am-4pm Monday through Friday, perhaps, when most people work. The next nearest location may be hours away. It may not be accessible via public transit. It then becomes incredibly burdensome for someone with limited time, transportation, or income to get the necessary ID. Now you're able to control access to the IDs in lower income areas by shuttering or defunding locations.

This isn't just a theoretical situation. This occurs.

Now, I think you'll find that most people are onboard with requiring ID to vote, provided that the barriers to getting the ID do not have a chilling effect on low-income voters.

But that's not the way things tend to go.

Present a plan that expands access to the ID printing services and watch the resistance to these sorts of policies disappear. Or better yet, mail one to every eligible taxpayer the first time they file a tax return. It's not particularly difficult.

 
 

I'm sure this has been discussed and is being worked on (I did see some mentions of notification system plans in the DevBlogs and portal), but I just wanted to chime in and say that I'm eagerly awaiting the day that the app is able to push a notification letting me know that my current travel or action is complete!

I recognize that this feature is likely more tricky than it seems, as the app would need to occasionally check steps vs current action even when it's not open, increasing resource usage and battery drain, though I could be way off base here, as I'm not too familiar with the intricacies of mobile app development.

I wonder whether, upon the app being closed or minimized, it could pass the number of steps remaining in whatever task to the device's step logging api or a minimal step timer widget of some sort, then roughly handle it without having to constantly query the game server itself.

It's not terribly vital, considering the presence of the "saved steps" system, but I'm still looking forward to it. It'll be a nice reminder to keep moving and progressing!

 
 

but I think it might be!
