Never actually seen any besides the cream cheese at Trader Joe’s. Going to keep an eye out now

Certain cheese (mainly hard cheese) is theoretically zero lactose due to fermentation using it up, but I find that even most hard cheeses give me a reaction.

I have a history of psychosomatic reactions to food, though. For example I couldn’t eat beef, chicken, or pork for years after several food poisoning incidents in quick succession. Even though I knew the reaction was all in my head, the physical effects still happened. Super frustrating.

However I have had 2 incidents where I had GI symptoms occur after eating something containing dairy where I didn’t know until I looked at the ingredients list, so I know it’s not 100% in my head.

To my fellow LI sufferers I encourage you to experiment with hard cheeses, as there’s plenty of people who have documented their success with those! :)

(Just do it on a day where you have a bathroom always available, lol.)

this is why at the end of the day I hope we invent Star Trek replicators

and allergy cures

😬 now that’s a rough time. Perfect Day does disclaim milk allergenic on their website but I have no idea if they require their clients to include that on their consumer product packaging.

Surprising (and frustrating) that they didn’t use a properly deodorized grade of oil. Do you mind sharing which products you tried? I’m curious

The foodtech will use yeast as hosts to initially produce casein and whey protein, two of the main proteins found in milk.

Bioreacted casein would be a HUGE leap for cow-free dairy. I remember when Perfect Day started up they were having too much trouble producing casein, so their products couldn’t be used to make stringy or melty cheese.

As a former cheese addict who developed severe lactose intolerance, I’ll just be waiting here for the synthetic cheese. (Please. I miss pain-free cheese so much 😭)

I’m really irritated at how depression has made me an expert in cleaning individual parts of my body to prevent stink (pits, privates, hair over side of tub, feet, etc.) all to avoid just stepping into the fuckin shower and getting it all over with at once

i would like more brutalism because my country desperately needs affordable housing…

My living space is probably slightly below average in cleanliness and organization, but I’m really self conscious and upset about it not being slightly above average. I’m really depressed.

it takes getting used to for sure. it affects how you type, prepare meals, rummage around in bags, put in contact lenses and/or remove eyelashes/etc. from your eyes, and yes, how you hold the TP when you wipe.

it’s a hobby and/or fashion statement, and like many of those it has tradeoffs lol. for me long nails was a job requirement (adult entertainment) that turned into a hobby (i learned to do my own because it eliminated salon costs, then found I enjoyed it artistically)

the aliens judging the alien porn I watch:

Well There’s Your Problem | Episode 172: The 1997 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

one of the funniest fucking podcast episodes I’ve ever listened to.

“the only solution is being responsible” well fuck guess I’m SOL

instructions unclear, my prescription erased my appetite and now all my food goes bad

I wonder if you could get a better flavor profile by brewing tea with hot coffee rather than brewing and adding separately (possibly not due to temperature and osmotic pressure)

can’t wait for all of us to become so poor that they re-legalize company stores and scrip

Large corporations will always have the money. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them get so large they start forming in-house construction companies, initially offering above market pay and benefits, to attract large teams of workers and undercut existing independent (often unionized) construction services. The competition forces the indie union shops to shutter or sell, and now, in control of the entire workforce, the corporations slash the wages and benefits as the workers no longer have other places to apply to.

Race to the bottom, baybeeee

no :( I play Balatro on my phone when I poop, and I boot up Minecraft about once a year…

then it’s going to inadvertently happen to the trades too 😬
