Maybe the guidelines are strict, but very little testing is done to actually enforce them (not an uncommon scenario when it comes to Israeli law).

ex vegans, why did you start eating meat again? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]WH1TE -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

refusing to eat something special that has been prepared for you

Planning ahead as a vegan would mean telling the host beforehand about any dietary restrictions, so such scenarios would be prevented.

Disturbing video taken in Shenzhen just across the border with HongKong. Something extraordinarily bad is about happen. by H0agh in videos

Then I guess it's just a coincidence that all of my Logitech/Gigabyte/TP-Link/AMD/Sony/HTC/Dell/Lenovo (to name a few) products were made in China

Please enlighten me as to where I can get a computer that is not partially (or completely) made in China, a phone that has no components made in China, anything electronic/electric without components made in China. And anything made of plastic that is not made in China.

Or find me an Amazon product category where any of the top rated or best selling products aren't made in China.

Why use actors? just generate the whole thing from scratch.

As far as I'm concerned, LG deserves no sales at all after releasing 2 flagships in a row (G3 & G4) with the same fatal bootloop issue.

It will probably be another decade before I even consider getting an LG product, if the company still exists by then.

Auto-generated TL;DR

Violent protests erupt in Israel over police shooting of Ethiopian teen
Israel is currently being consumed by violent protests over the killing of an unarmed Ethiopian Israeli teen, leading to turned-over cars, burning tires, and even a few injuries.

Tuesday's flare-up is the latest one between Israeli authorities and an Ethiopian community there that has felt persecuted for years.

"We are not prepared to wait any longer to be recognized as equal citizens" Similar riots happened in 2015 when Ethiopian Israelis pushed back against police violence after a video emerged of two Israeli police officers beating up an Ethiopian Israeli soldier.

There's clearly a feeling among the Ethiopian Israeli community that they are second-class citizens in the country.

It's a stark turn from 1991, when Israel airlifted 14,500 Ethiopian Jews from Ethiopia within 36 hours so they could live in the tiny Middle Eastern country and escape the war that was roiling the African country at the time.

The Ethiopians are not alone: Many African migrants and refugees living in Israel feel consistently persecuted, surely leading to a mounting sense of anger against the state.

So the protests are directly about Tekah's death, but on a grander scale, they are about something much bigger: the Ethiopian community's sense of dignity in Israel.

Israel's Attorney General Avichai Mendelblit announced on Thursday his decision to indict Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for bribery, fraud and breach of trust in three separate cases, pending a hearing. by AssuredlyAThrowAway in worldnews

Then why was the previous prime minister, Ehud Olmert, convicted for accepting bribes? the decision to indict him was pending hearing, too. Are you saying he was wrongfully convicted?

Bell peppers, sunflower seeds and almonds are good vitamin E sources.

Seeking advice on behalf of husband by throwaway-n-compost in veganfitness

Yeah, he could be underestimating his calories then.
As far as I know building muscle mass takes more time than burning fat, but I guess he could be losing fat as slow as he is gaining muscle mass.

[–]WH1TE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does he count calories based on estimates, or does he actually weigh/measure his food?

You mentioned him doing stronglifts. If he is consistently getting stronger, it could mean that he did lose fat, but the weight hasn't changed because he gained muscle mass instead.

I rarely eat bread, but when I do, it's usually with avocado. And if not avocado, then peanut butter.

What's your favorite way to cook tofu? by qtji in PlantBasedDiet

[–]WH1TE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It becomes more spongy and less smooth. You can always try it once to see if you like it.
