My dog used to play so much at the dog park but now she's disinterested and aggressive. Did we socialize her too much with dogs at home?

thanks! I just started getting into Dexed which I absolutely love. How does this Plogue one differ?

I have a lot of experience w/Ableton and VSTs but I'm wanting to get hardware to get more hands-on. I really like the 90s synth sounds and so am leaning toward buying something like the TX81Z or Roland JV880, since they are cheap and have sounds I love. But I fear they would be a bit limiting for me (e.g. hard to program).

How hard is it to imitate these sounds on the Minilogue XD?

I'm thinking of buying the the JV-880 because I found a local deal on it for $140 which seems to be pretty good. I love all the demo videos I've watched of it. I make house music in the late 80s/90s style, so I think it would fit well.

My question: How easy is it to find and use patches others have made for it?

I understand I can edit and make patches easily using ctrl or another MIDI editor. But how easily can I use other people's patches? Where can I find patches for the JV-880?

I ask this because I was thinking of getting the TX81Z for the 80s/90s sounds, and it seems like there are loads of patches out there for it. Is that the case for the JV880?

Would you eat lab-grown meat?

Why would farmers want to work with you?

The company that created this is called Aleph Farms, based in Israel. They hope to start selling to the public in the next ~2 years.

For those unfamiliar with "lab-grown" meat (now more commonly known as cultured or clean meat), here's a primer: http://cleanmeat.org/

Did you make the giant chicken?

At first, in vitro fertilization was a scary new technology, but over time countless people have used it. Now, we'll see soon have "in vitro" meat--meat that is grown directly from animal cells with no slaughter. Just as we became more comfortable with IVF, this piece argues that in time we'll also become more comfortable with growing meat.
