Context for people who don't keep up with Lemmy drama.

I really like V9, I think it's one of the strongest volumes of the show.

I personally thought the smaller cast was to V9's strength, a problem RWBY's had is that it's tried to have a shonen style large cast but has never had the run time to balance all the characters. This is also why I really like V4.

You're right about the budget constraints, they preemptively cut this volume's budget so V8 could be longer (V8 and V9 were greenlight together), which I think was the right move. This volume didn't need all the fight scenes like V8 did, but the final episode of our main cast reuniting with everyone in Vacuo getting pushed to a potentially never-to-exist Volume 10 was a let down.

Ruby having the mental breakdown she's been putting off since V3 was very satisfying (ok, that sounds bad but you know what I mean).

I'd completely forgot about them tbh. You also see it a lot with cheese alternatives, even though they broadly fucking suck so I don't know why the cheese industry even bothers.

In 2019, Oatly applied to trademark the phrase “Post Milk Generation” but this was rejected by the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) in January last year after ruling that its use of the term “milk” was “deceptive”.

But this trademark is clearly them establishing themselves as not-milk and plenty of vegan products term themselves like this ("No Steak Pie") without issue, it's only dairy products that this ridiculous standard applied to them. Guess I'll just continue to enjoy the two bottles of oat 'drink' I have in my fridge.

To be honest I do think calling it “milk” lets them inflate the price when it is essentially porridge water.

Most good oat milks will have stabilisers and vitamins (B12 especially) added to them vs if you just made some at home.

Nah, I did it and that seems to have sent it through to everyone else. Just weird as I checked the logs and slrpnk seems to have not sent the pin activity to feddit.uk.

It absolutely does, https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/skeet-bluesky-slang

Maybe after it arrives in merry old England.

Weird, it didn't federate.

I concur, that's all three of us (don't worry about tom, they're inactive).

Thankfully, I, a true Emacs user, use C-x @ m x so I'm immune to this.

The UK also relaxed its recruitment rules in 2022, allowing citizens with foreign-born parents to join security agencies, to increase the labour pool.

You could have foreign-born parents before 2022, it just had to be from an 'approved nation' (no prizes for guessing which nations those were).
