  • I used to donate, but I haven’t for at least 10 years.

    Their financing is public. They would have enough cash to keep the lights on for decades.

    They’ve been investing to be reliant on donations in the future. I see a conflict of interest there and I’d rather have them be relying on donations… especially since they have received enough cash to do so.

    TL;DR, I’m happy to donate for running Wikipedia, not happy to donate for them to become a fund.












  • They were never a thing in Europe.

    The sewage treatment is not built to handle that kind of stuff. The sewage pipes aren’t too happy about it, either. I might flush some carbs down the toilet. The poop-munching bacteria at the treatment plant get a nice growth boost from it. Grease not only clogs your own pipes, but causes issues for the whole city. I think it’s possible to get fined for it if you’d get caught starting a year or two back.

    Food waste goes in the trash or compost. If it goes in the trash it’s burned at industrial temperatures to burn clean. The heat is used for district heating networks.




  • My wife is definitely team ‘make it from scratch’.

    She is also a very slow cook. We also have an infant that is currently taking up 110% of our time.

    It’s hard for me to justify spending two hours a night preparing a lunch for the next day. She likes to sleep in, so I never get to eat it fresh… it’s always leftovers.

    I don’t mind cooking something fresh for lunch or dinner, but I’ll do something that takes 20 minutes of prep and then take care of itself on the stove or in the oven. Chilli, pot roast, or a casserole.

    I think frozen dinners probably have a better balance of protein/carbs/veg than either of us makes, and at half the price.
