Yeah, no need for ID to vote here in Australia. Just rock up at any polling place and give your name and they'll cross your name off.

Don't even need ID to register to vote. Any other person on the electoral roll can vouch for your identity.

You technically could make cheese without murdering a cow but you won't find any made that way. Cows only produce milk for their young. To make milk they need to be repeatedly impregnated over and over again. Lifespan of a cow can be 20 years, though they are usually killed after about 5 as their milk output drops. Half of the cows they give birth to will be male and almost all killed as they don't produce milk. Some of the females may be killed too as you'll end up with more cows than you have room for it you keep them all.

As for a human child, drinking human breast milk is considered vegan as long as it was given consensually. If you kidnap someone and tie them up in your basement then it wouldn't be.

I've never tried to make it from soaking my own chickpeas. But reducing down there aquafaba from canned chickpeas definitely feels key to getting a good whip out of it.

FYI for anyone interested. Immich is a open source, self hosted system for photos/videos like Google Photos. It uses machine learning locally for facial and general image recognition.

It certainly can be a bit involved. When I moved from Gmail address to my own personal domain I did it slowly over a few months.

I set my Gmail address to automatically forward to my new email address. Then I setup a quick filter which added a label on everything that had been forwarded. Once a week or so I would look at all the emails that had been forwarded and update them to my new email (or delete them if unwanted).

I've used it quite a bit recently. It makes it really easy to submit data in small amounts. I usually have it open while walking my dog and enter in basic things as I go. I've completed about 1500 quests so far with it.

You just know that Q is on every single one of those cards he picked up.

What's Janeway going to do when she learns mitrocondria was once a separate organism from our cells?

Apple did say that. This app was a copied from an open source GBA emulator loaded up with ads and user tracking. I'm guessing that's the reason they removed it.

I've got no idea how much the Vegan Society (or other orgs) charges for certification. As you said, plenty of other labels/logos they can use.

I do occasionally see reports of companies labeling a product as vegan when it isn't. Usually from someone not understanding what vegan means (like honey). But those are pretty rare in the grand scheme of things.

Unfortunately I'm not sure how good a case someone would have for misleading claims without any legal definition on what "Vegan" means.

I wouldn't be surprised if they made a torrent for it. They probably want a simple download button for the less technically inclined too.

The Vegan Society does do certifications for products which will let you use their logo. I'm not aware of any laws which would stop you from calling a product vegan without that certification, just can't use their logo for it.

I can't remember if it was the EU or ISO which was working on a standard to classify a product as vegan in the past couple of years. Though the last news I heard about it was that it was being led by agricultural lobby rather than animal rights activists.
