Do souls have sizes, like "you need at least the soul of a medium sized dog or pig"?

Because if every soul is worth equally much, just set an anthill on fire and be done for the foreseeable future.

Of course, as your next course of action, you should make up for the damage done to your local eco system, but that should be doable within the powers and lifespan of a lich.

The whole seed oil thing isnt that much of a conspiracy as it is completely blown out of proportion.

The core of it boils down to: An imbalance between Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids causes and/or worsens inflammatory conditions. Seed oils (sunflower, canola, peanut, soy bean), especially the highly refined varieties, typically contain was more O-6 than O-3 fatty acids. So, if you stop your brain there "seed oils bad, use olive, avocado or (as our chronically online right wing twitter users probably prefer) non vegetarian or vegan fats like butter or tallow".

This however ignores and oversimplifies things massively. First of all, the balance between fatty acids is just one factor for inflammations. Secondly, hardly anybody consumes only one type of oil exclusively and especially not necessarily in the relevant amounts. Fried your mushrooms in canola and added them to a salad dressed in olive oil? Shouldnt be a problem.

The real issue that doctors warned against was the amount of (seed) oils hidden in already highly processed foods - every type of fat is replaced by a cheap, neutral tasting oil, most often canola, sunflower or soy bean oil.

If being central is such a big advantage, how is it that countries like the UK and Japan (obviously not EU, but still) are in the same league as Germany while literally being islands bordering (nearly) no other countries.

Why the downvotes

I for my part downvoted because it's just false equivalence. Cutting down a part of a commercial forest is pretty far from completely cutting "every single forest" in Sweden.

Is it great that trees were cut down without replanting? No.

Is there a perfectly cleared and infrastructurally connected plot of land in Brandenburg that Tesla could have used instead? Also no.

Your comparison was basically the same as "We sell a plot of land to Elon? Why not just sell every plot of land to him then!".

An extinguisher that can actually handle Lithium fires though. A regular CO2 extinguisher wont do anything against burning Lithium

Fair enough. Im in devops and the first thing I thought about was Jenkins, where "server" and "agent" fit quite well.

I dont think master/slave is that good of a naming scheme for fault tolerance either, since the "slave" doesnt do work so that the master doesnt have to, but it's rather an active/reserve kind of thing.

But I also admit that using different terms that fit best for every usecase would only cause more confusion than good.

We're using server and agent, but im also a proponent of "captain" and "crew"

The same kind of idiot that conveniently ignores all the hormones in meat and dairy used to maximize profit
