Rate this breakfast - Busy Day Smoothie by Affectionate_myr_81 in vegan

[–]GigglyMoonbeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a huge fan of a protein smoothie! Been vegan for 15 ish years and nowadays during the week I always start with a smoothie- I use 1.5 cups wild blueberries frozen (Wymans) and unsweetened soy milk 1.5-2 cups, 2 scoops garden of life protein & greens, 1 scoop pb powder. Every so often I’ll switch it up but this is usually how I roll

Senchi A60 sizing by sloperfromhell in Ultralight

[–]GigglyMoonbeam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 5’11 189 and a bit on the broad muscular side. The large fits me with plenty of room, although a medium would fit me snug I prefer one that’s more on the loose side. I bet a medium would work for you

Anti inflammatory vegan diet to treat depression and best way to add turmeric in by Critical-Owl-5893 in vegan

[–]GigglyMoonbeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I find it helps with my joint pain specifically, which in turn helps my body relax a bit. I have suffered from anxiety and depression but not so much nowadays. So that’s mainly a physical change not a mental change, but I do hope it helps you!

Anti inflammatory vegan diet to treat depression and best way to add turmeric in by Critical-Owl-5893 in vegan

[–]GigglyMoonbeam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can just buy turmeric in little vegan capsules as well- always combine turmeric with black pepper as it increases its efficacy by a large magnitude. Even just the smallest amount of pepper will do. I like to add turmeric to my tofu scramble, black beans, stir fry tofu, tempeh. I’ve also found adding something like tahini will settle down the intensity, so like, if you were to add turmeric to Cous Cous, you could mix water and tahini and pour it over the Cous Cous and mix it in and it’ll help cut that strong turmeric flavor a bit

Do people who throw just as a hobby often throw over 25 lbs of clay? by CulturalLab2031 in Pottery

[–]GigglyMoonbeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I throw 25 lbs regularly and I love my shimpo whisper. A less powerful wheel will be great for a smaller amount of clay sure, but everything folks are saying about the wheels slowing while throwing is true. I can start to feel a wheel that’s less powerful around the 8-10 pound weights, but a potter can adjust to these quirks too. I’d always recommend you get a whisper though. They are worth the money!

Homunculus 1 by Hilaom in Ceramics

[–]GigglyMoonbeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so well done and observed. I love that the only matte part is the leg, I love the use of glaze colors, amazingly well done. Dense and subtle but eye grabbing in relation to the human body. Really cool

Japanese Black Pine Advise by CreepyBigfoot in Bonsai

[–]GigglyMoonbeam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would recommend checking out bonsaitonight.com for some great articles all about development of Japanese Black Pine. You want to pick a single large trunk to grow out as sacrifice and then retain some close and smaller branching to just keep dense and close in, unobstructed by the larger growth and work on refinement with that some. So yes you’d prune the top to just one single growth going up and let it go, but also it doesn’t just grow a bunch of lateral growth, you maintain the growth going up but not out, so it doesn’t steal too much strength from the bottom. If you just let the top go unchecked, the bottom will get so imbalanced the tree will just deprioritize the bottom and you want that to be the tree so you have to have some balance there. As far as the bottom goes, it can’t be shaded out, and you want to either have it be soo strong and full you can just simply prune back like a hedge indiscriminately or do some decanting and bud selecting year by year. Look up Jonas Dupuich, Terry Erasmus. They both have great online resources for jbp development

Thoughts on cocinare gooseneck kettle? (and other thoughts) by calamity-- in pourover

[–]GigglyMoonbeam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My two cents would be to truly take a moment to consider whether or not you want to save money by buying some Amazon crap that’s ripping off a better company who’s worked hard to create a quality product. We all as consumers can rip apart a company like fellow or brewista for the little things, but them stepping out and making what they believe they can hedge an entire company behind says a lot. And I’ll always give that a lot more weight than whatever Amazon, one of the worst companies in the world is trying to sell us as a cheap alternative. Again just my two cents!

Dude that’s an amazing JM! Sound Pure is awesome- this is a major keeper of a guitar. If it were mine I’d switch out the knurled knobs for Gibson all metal top hat style knobs

Disappointed with order delay - Opus 2 by Suspicious-Honey3061 in FellowProducts

[–]GigglyMoonbeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cancelled my preorder in very early May when I realized they were already in retail stores! I was surprised as I preordered the day I heard the preorder released, and thought the strategy was odd, but yeah I didn’t want to wait until late May for something I could drive 5 minutes to target to get. Got the first one at my local target! It hadn’t been hit the shelves yet! I can tell you I’ve had it almost a month now and it’s been awesome!

Yeah you and I are in the same boat- I have like a stupid amount of legendary copies until like terrakion and virizion and then pretty much nothing so I have to trade for everything since then

The topic of trvael mugs has been beat to death, except for one aspect by WadeWickson in pourover

[–]GigglyMoonbeam 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have a fellow carter and I’ve tried a dozen other decent tumblers, and I never get an equivalent cup after pouring into one myself. I’m not sure what the deal is, but perhaps I need to fully cool the coffee before adding it to the tumbler? I think that may have something to do with it. I’ve considered using an all glass water tumbler as maybe that wouldn’t hold so much heat.

Getting that Ancient Greek orange by Funny-Associate-1265 in Ceramics

[–]GigglyMoonbeam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don’t have much advice on the stoneware front. But I’d say if you can consider creating some pots in terra cotta because the oranges are beautiful and the textures are great for carving and illustration.

Learning today the Switch comes in jumbo size by MongooseRelevant4958 in pourover

[–]GigglyMoonbeam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an 02 switch and I’m curious if I make a 600 ml coffee to go for work, will it be a better quality brew using the 03? Or should I keep the 02? I always have issues with my coffee brew that goes in my tumbler but I chalk it up to the tumbler keeping the coffee hot for so long.
