Not really active here - racism, Rationality and weirdness in the movement are so bad they made me give up on it.
Really cool! I hope it becomes available in the UK soon.
Meanwhile in Israel, Solve is a company offering a whole egg substitute for baking, for 130 ILS for ~50 small eggs (currently ~42 USD, although the war makes the conversion somewhat unrepresentative). I've not used it but I've heard good things from a gourmet chef. They also sell a "meringue powder", called Mery Mix by an Italian company, Lapet, at 65 ILS per 1kg(!). Not sure how this converts to eggs.
This is outright the best April Fool's post we've had this year. Shame it didn't get more views. Seriously, I laughed out loud multiple times.
(I'm Jewish, my grandma was a Holocaust survivor and her father and most of her extended family were killed by the Nazis. My grandfather managed to flee before the war started but some of his family were also killed.)
Thank god we have the April Fool's tag to protect us from Poe's law though.
Haven't seen this anywhere on the forum: Effective Ventures sold Wytham Abbey in February for £5.95 million (source). When they bought it, there were many debates over the price they paid (just under £15 million). Some people said it's an investment and so it's not like £15 million have been lost. Well, seems like we now have the verdict on those claims - the whole thing cost about £9 million.
