Feel free to make your own alternative, the world's your oyster.

Where are you based? You should be able to find some oil free alternatives

There's a barista version for some brands and it comes with a small amount of rapeseed oil added in which helps with the blending process.

Normal oat milk curdles otherwise.

Have you substituted butter out too?

For cooking in most things the taste is generally better (unless you're trying to make a buttery croissant) and there's no impact on quality.

I do find it hard to substitute out eggs though.

The best tasting plant based milk I've had and consume regularly is Plenish Oat Milk (UK).

It's particularly creamy without having any oil additives, not great for frothing in coffee though.

What's up with the title? Assuming they're not sending a cake due to covid and remote working etc - makes it seem very clickbaitish.

This may be wrong, but a friend in logistics once told me that some companies insure large shipments to a partial amount.

So if you budget to lose X% of shipments a year that's inline with the savings of Y% payments.

This comment made me laugh. Kudos.

I was in Portugal last week and was surprised by how safe it felt.

Everyone still wears masks indoors and in built up areas, sanitiser was available everywhere, people checked our vaccination status when sitting indoors.

They're not major points but it definitely felt like people went out of their way to be conscious of others and the virus which is different to how I feel people in the UK treat the virus now (eg mask usage on the tube is virtually non existent).

Most of this is largely anecdotal on my part but I feel countries that continue to do a little now will get long term benefits (eg mandatory mask use in public transport)

Without a jailbroken deceive I don't believe the APIs would be available

I agree with your first point but perusing charges against people who make crimes against a country without having been there is quite common.

The poster was fairly explicit about that, no need to nitpick. They provided good information on the US system.

How do you find Brave in comparison? I've been pleasantly surprised with it's results but wondered how it fares to regular DDG users

If you are fortunate enough to be in a position where you're earning enough to pay 40% tax then great for you!

Paying tax is good for society, what's not great is companies avoiding it. The latter doesn't negate the former.

Give quality sparkling water a go if you can, eg San Pellegrino, Castello, Harrogate (glass only), etc.

Putting the Pocket stuff aside I've been using this on the Dev edition for a few weeks now.

I quite like it. It feels snappy and looks clean. Good work FF team.
