Indeed, the intention is not to rely on centralized recycling.

You'd use the artme perhaps, if you need to turn your 3D print into something new: https://youtu.be/BT04glGDjB4

During emergencies, such as the pandemic, access to PPE can become difficult. Providing an open source design for the respirator allows for decentralized manufacturing to take place, mitigating the bottlenecks of centralized production and increasing accessibility. The filtered air provided by the fan is for comfort; it is much more comfortable to receive the flow of air from this mask than using an N95, as your lungs have to do less work. Also, the pressurization means that a perfect fit isn't required, such as with an N95; for this reason, PAPRas can work more reliably for people with beards, for example.

Plenty of folks are using them regularly and the project is just getting started in building awareness. I am currently making one myself. I was also given some sample filament to try out, and plan to share my experience. If anyone wants to see what people are doing with these, definitely check out the discord...

I'm familiar with the other methods of PET recycling you've mentioned, and projects such as Precious Plastic's or Brothers Make, but as you mention, while they are great methods, they are much more expensive and less accessible to everyone.

Many people are at risk for exposure to the COVID-19 virus and cannot afford to get infected. These people can isolate themselves, but often, their professions or requirements for daily life will take them in contact with other people, and they need some form of protection. Masks definitely help, but can become uncomfortable to wear, especially over long periods of time. This guide will walk you through creating a Powered Air-Purifying Respirator, which will protect the wearer and those around them from airborne viruses and bacteria, while at the same time providing positive airflow to the wearer’s face. That airflow makes sure that the wearer has a supply of fresh, clean air that has gone through a filtration process, and, in our tests, is the equivalent of wearing an N95 mask.

 

The Open Hardware Summit took place in place in Edinburgh on May 30th & 31st, 2025.

Since 2010, the Open Source Hardware Association, a 501(c)(3) not for profit charity, has hosted the Open Hardware Summit- a comprehensive conference for the open hardware community and the ever changing open source hardware movement.

Speakers include world renowned leaders from industry, academia, the arts and maker community. Talks cover a wide range of subjects from electronics, mechanics to related fields such as digital fabrication, fashion technology, self-quantification devices, and IP law. As a microcosm of the Open Source Hardware community, the Open Hardware Summit provides an annual, friendly forum for the community.

 

Love to see it

Tofu does has a fairly complete amino acid profile, which is why it combines well with many vegetable proteins. It's only a little short on methionine.

Seeds, nuts, spinach, sweet potato, corn, asparagus, broccoli, chard... And more are all pretty decent sources of methionine.

You may find this article my friend wrote interesting -https://green.michaelaltfield.net/2014/10/20/complete-protein-ratios/

I think many people like to toast the bread but you don't have to.

Why don't I gain anything by it?

How is it not helping to remind them where the ice cream came from, since they obviously forgot if they're complaining about it to a vegan.

And what makes you assume moral superiority? You said yourself that you understand how frustrating it is for us to hear about animals being exploited. That's where the joke comes from. People unthinkingly doing wrong and expecting us to say nothing.

 

It's important to oppose the EATS (Ending Agricultural Trade Suppression) act.

From an email I received about this from Animal Equality:

"Last month, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the strongest farm animal protection law in the country, California’s Proposition 12, which bans the sale of products that come from animals trapped in unthinkably small crates. Also in recent years, we've banned the sale of eggs from caged hens in nine states.

These laws have impacted the lives of millions upon millions of animals across the country. But now, agricultural industry groups are trying to undo our progress by introducing legislation in the U.S. Congress that would undo years of hard work and send millions of farmed animals back into tiny cages. We can't let this happen.

The "Ending Agricultural Trade Suppression (EATS) Act" is been designed to wipe out all the state laws we've worked so hard to pass. If successful, the EATS Act could also destroy hundreds of additional state laws protecting animals, such as statutes safeguarding against the abuse of dogs in puppy mills, the killing of animals for the wildlife trade, and painful experiments inflicted on animals for cosmetic testing.

The EATS Act could even strike down state laws on a vast range of other concerns, including pesticide use, protection against lead poisoning, toxic chemicals in baby food containers, and child labor. Needless to say, this legislation is extremely dangerous!"

Yeah it's possible I'll visit your community. Although, I am not normally a debatebro, I just didn't want OP to be only getting negative responses to the post especially right at the start, when posting here.

And your cry baby wah wah comment is why carnists get the reputation they do.

[–] Goldfishlaser@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Depends on what OP means by being mean. I read it as the sometimes sardonic remarks that are almost compelled from us when they want to discuss their carnist lifestyle around us or to us as though we are just gonna be like "you be you".

Oh dang. Thanks for letting me know.

And so many people think eating chicken is healthy. Eating chicken is eating disease, filth, and suffering.

 

Barnivore is a directory where you can easily search for vegan wine, beer, liquor and more.

From the site: "Brewmasters, winemakers, and distillers may include animal ingredients in their products directly, or they might use them in the processing and filtration.

When making the product, dairy, honey, and other things are ingredients in the final recipe.

When filtering the drinks prior to bottling, companies can use things like isinglass (from fish bladder,) gelatin, egg whites, and sea shells, among other things. These products grab onto the impurities and make it easier to catch them in the filters, though there are many animal-free alternatives in use."

Always remember that if you drink, drink responsibly 🍻

 

In this video, Mic the Vegan tells us about a novel technology creating a fat that is melty, lardy, and structurally similar to animal fat.

Sharing this video because Jake Tran's video contained many common objections that people raise against using plant milks. Lifting Vegan Logic breaks down the reasons why these objections are fallacious.

Lifting Vegan Logic is a great channel that uses sarcasm and parody to discuss vegan ideas.
