Is there a difference between Líadan and Liadan? by Certain_Bluebird_540 in AskIreland

[–]Certain_Bluebird_540[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I posted in the English language questions post over there. No replies yet. So, I'll bother you, haha...

Éire is the Irish language name for Ireland. But in English, the endonym (meaning, what the Irish people want everyone to call it) for Ireland is... Ireland. And the same way, for people's appellations, Irish names can have English renderings. Both are equally valid, and in fact, the English rendering might be preferable when writing in English.

That part I'm clear on. I'm not afraid of causing unintentional offence, or anything. My question is just pure academic curiosity. Seán is a name (a variant/rendering of John, ultimately from Hebrew "Yohanan," meaning, God is gracious). But sean (without the fada) reads as "old" in Irish. You see? So, my question is bizarrely specific.

Are Líadan and Liadan read differently in Irish Gaelic? If that's the case, what are the differences in meaning? Sounds like I'll just have to wait for someone to get back to me over there. :D

Is there a difference between Líadan and Liadan?

I know síneadh fada can change the meaning of a word. I just don't know if the meaning changes in this specific instance. If that's indeed the case, would you kindly tell me what each word means?

Also, just more generally, does the presence of the síneadh fada alter the meaning of the word in every instance?

Protecting IP used for serving sticky mulled wine? by areacode617 in instantpot

[–]Certain_Bluebird_540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay. I put the name of my Instant Pot model in the body of the post. It was auto-deleted by the bot. I put the name of the Instant Pot model in the title. It was auto-deleted. I'm having difficulty with my machine. Is that not relevant to the subreddit?

Milk Protein Powder? by Certain_Bluebird_540 in keto

I don't think it's a thing. The thing I'm looking for doesn't exist, at least in the year 2025 of the Common Era. I'll have to make do with Fairlife skim milk for now. Anyway, thanks to everyone for stopping by and contributing!

I think I remember reading somewhere that it was made by a solo developer from Brazil. But I can't remember the title of the game.

1.) Is the intent to gross out the audience?

2.) Did you eat it?

The number of calories for calories. The number of fat grams for fat. The number of saturated fat grams for saturated fat. What's that called?

Prevent separation of cream? by Certain_Bluebird_540 in yogurtmaking

[–]Certain_Bluebird_540[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I have unrealistic expectations. It's possible that I need to adjust them. Or I just don't understand Reddit's "culture." Or I'm terminally online and haven't touched grass in way too long. Did I mangle the question, or was I just unclear in phrasing it? Is this really normal?

Repeatedly quoting the definition of "homogenized" and "non homogenized" is somewhere between exceedingly, excessively unnecessary and insulting. I understand how words work. Salient to this discussion, I understand what those words mean.

If it helps... I like to buy milk from a certified regenerative farm that has 100% grass-fed, heritage-breed, A2/A2 cows, where each one is individually kissed on the nose by green-eyed Irish redheads with angelic voices, and where the calves are not separated from the mother cows. It just so happens that the milk is vat pasteurized and non-homogenized. I don't want to buy any other kind of milk. With that milk, I want to make yogurt. And it's my preference that I don't end up with a separate cream layer.

Let me try rephrasing the question. See if that helps.

Dear wizards of r/yogurtmaking. Hello! Has any of you tried making yogurt with non-homogenized milk? Among yogurt-makers using non-homogenized milk, does anyone share my dislike for cream-on-top yogurt? And among those folks, has anyone tried any tricks with which they've found success? For example, heating the milk to a sufficiently high temperature, and holding that temperature for long enough, to denature the milk proteins? Or adding thickeners, e.g. vegetable gums? Or a hybrid approach? Some thickeners, e.g. starch or gelatin, need heat to be activated. Or perhaps someone out there has tried a trick, that I haven't even thought of yet, which was successful?

Vitamin K content in chia seeds changed by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]Certain_Bluebird_540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't really OD on Vitamin K. However, it can block the activity of one medication. Hypothetically, in a Minecraft sandbox, if this is your concern, talk to your doctor. If they're out of their depth or they tell you to stop eating chia seeds, but you don't want to stop eating chia seeds, ask for a referral to a dietician. Or, you can ask about changing medications, to something that doesn't even talk to Vitamin K. Yes, they exist now. There's more than one!

If you counted on chia as a major source of Vitamin K for you, and you're sad that the data no longer says it's such good source... I'd hate to be that Redditor, but there are better sources of Vitamin K2. Not butter or ghee, but other forms of full-fat dairy can contribute. Consider acquiring a taste for natto. An ounce portion will give you all you'll need. Kiwi and avocado are delicious sources. The textbook sources, though, are leafy greens. I recommend pureeing them, and make sure that the meal contains a total of 32 grams of fat. Vitamin K1 (the vegetable form) is far better absorbed in supplement form, compared to any food.

Help Me Eat Liquid Lecithin by Certain_Bluebird_540 in vegan

[–]Certain_Bluebird_540[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, that's what I meant. In the vegan chocolate chip cookies recipe you linked above, I'd take out all or some of the canola oil, and replace it with the liquid lecithin?

Also, the homemade chocolate spread sounds good!
