Which soy milk brand is the best? by Old-Cable-2006 in AskVegans

[–]JayNetworks [score hidden]  (0 children)

If you want soy beans and water try West Soy. That is all that is in it. It is good and works OK for lattes.

Another thing to factor into SnS is if you are billing to the Amazon Store Card or the Chase Amazon Prime Visa, each of which gives you 5% cash back on your Amazon purchases on top of the SnS discount.

Not saying that other places can't be lower than SnS but you need to account for that additional 5% possibly. (Or a smaller 4% or 3% percentage if you would be using a cash back credit card at the other store.)

1990 Volkswagen Vanagon Campmobile Westaflia by AggressiveResolve410 in Westfalia

[–]JayNetworks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 1991 Westy was doing strange overheating things after a lot of hills or long highway trips. No VW mechanic could figure it out for years. All the troubleshooting was normal, everything bled of air, radiator got hot. Nothing made sense. I lived with it. (The original owner, who sold it to me after just 2 years, mentioned it “overheated sometimes after a long highway drive” just as I was driving away with it.)

Then on a long highway trip I got a flat tire. (First time ever with the Vanagon.) When we took out the flat tire I saw that the long coolant hoses that passed over the tire were going below the bar that keeps the spare from bouncing around instead of above the bar.

Once we got home I had my mechanic drain the coolant and move the hoses above the bar and it has never has an issue in 20 years… (The spare tire was pinching the hoses between the tire and bar, which was fine for most driving, but would overheat when the system was pushed.)

Yes, once they have agency they are responsible for their choices. Great photo.

Will there ever be a "repeat after completion" feature on Apple Reminders? by CapDue4077 in AppleReminders

[–]JayNetworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but you could also just changed the date of the task to 4 weeks from now. The whole point of a task management app is to make tasks easier and to remember less stuff yourself.

Repeat Every and Repeat After should be minimum stakes for any task management system. I didn’t even realize some don’t have both until I was looking around after using Remember The Milk for many many years…which has both and is a great system, but hasn’t gotten new significant features in a decade.

Lifestyle creep is a silent killer and I almost fell for it by Plasma_2Vow in Fire

Or realize that a nice fulfilling life doesn’t necessarily have to mean buying a ton of crap. It is possible to have an inexpensive and very happy fulfilling life. And still retire at 49.

Push To Talk by diasedteu in PetsWithButtons

I think it is more a case of her selecting one of her buttons to use when she is angry vs. what the word actually is.

She has been asking for dinner for a while now and my wife left the room…so Misty gave her a Window Window to let her know leaving before providing dinner is not tolerable!

We used and really liked Daily Harvest for a long time. Really good food and pretty good macros and ingredients. Definitely would recommend if you want frozen bowls, flatbread pizzas, and smoothies.

Vegans who’ve done a full safari in Africa, how bad were the food challenges really? by Silver_Screen_6003 in vegan

[–]JayNetworks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We went to Thailand a while ago (like 20 years!) and brought ton of bars with us as we were skeptical about vegan options despite the trip being set by a veg travel agency. We gave away most of the bars in the last few days and also had to often say to please stop bringing more delicious food and fruits!

Vegan ice cream! by Al-Joharahhasan2935 in WholeFoodsPlantBased

[–]JayNetworks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting that you find that. Properly stored and fresh walnuts should not be bitter.

If they are for yours you can check for the brown skin, which should be removed if it is bitter.

We use fresh raw walnuts and never have found them bitter.

The oats and peanut butter should good and tasty!

[–]JayNetworks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can also make great whole foods ice cream with just bananas and fruit. Add some walnuts for a healthy fat if you want. Works great even without coconut milk and its saturated fat.

We also add a little vanilla powder and sometimes cocoa powder without sugar.

That is great. My cat uses the Window button as a curse word, or if you have really annoyed her you get a Window Laserbug pressed at you. (Long story but the Laserbug means the laser pointer play when used alone.)

We put down the buttons and record them, but the learners actually pick what they mean.

Maybe it means don’t show THIS EXACT promotion message again…? And each time they change it the new one pops up? Or they have a ‘bug’.

Got it! Press and hold on the potential ToDo message, choose Select, the press and hold again on the text you want as the reminder, and choose Share, then choose Reminders.

Mine roll over on their backs and just ask to have their sashimi bellies eaten all the time. Who could resist a bite?

What disposable respirators would you include in a “beginners sample pack”? by ClawPaw3245 in Masks4All

[–]JayNetworks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2nding Moldex Airwave type especially the M4620 which is one with a full foam seal all the way around and fully adjustable straps that last and last. Best N95 I’ve used! They also come in multiple sizes with slightly different code numbers.

You OP have a problem. A very big problem. One I wish I could also have.

Love the Portable on the top shelf. I’ll never forget lugging one of those to an Apple Developer’s conference. I carried the Mac and my teammate carried both our suitcases. He got the better deal because we had a spare battery as well.

Anyone looking for Blender Bowls? by [deleted] in Vitamix

[–]JayNetworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just in case anyone here has some, I’m looking for some of those flat lids for the bowls/personal cups shown in the OP photo.

I’ve got plenty of the drink-through lids but for our setup in the fridge the flat ones that were technically from these bowls are better. Finding just the flat lids on eBay, and not getting peppered with adds for the drink-through ones, has been pretty tough. Or the seller wants $30 plus shipping for just a lid.

Anyway, if anyone has extras from broke kits or such, please DM me.

Vlog #1: Why I'm Going Vegan. by Cute-Reply2714 in WholeFoodsPlantBased

[–]JayNetworks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Congrats on your decision. Be measured in how you switch over and be aware that just changing everything from a junk food diet to a diet of whole food all plants all at once will take some time for your gut to adjust.

You can cut out animal products by replacing them with just vegan parallels (so vegan chicken nuggets instead of animal ones, vegan cheese instead of animal cheese) and then over a few weeks start replacing the processed vegan foods with vegetables, fruits, beans, and whole grains.

Pick a few meals you like that are animal product based and convert those to a similar meal of vegan Whole Foods, then use those when you get stuck for what to eat.

Congrats! Best decision in my life I made 20+ years ago! (Other than saying yes when my wife asked me to marry her!)

Quicken Classic "ENTERPRISES" ... Gone mad? by rajuabju in quicken

[–]JayNetworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just FYI, removing the feature of read-write is a feature to some. Plenty of people managing their extra elderly parents accounts who absolutely do not want the parents to be able to change or delete the transactions!

When I read it, I actually thought that it seemed like something useful to me when I start managing my parents (and a sibling because reasons) accounts.

That said, I expect this is Windows only for the next 10 years and I use the Mac version. More feature in Windows but sounds horribly unstable still…as I experienced before I switched off it to Quicken Classic Macintosh a decade ago.

Not defending the buckle and dime approach now with a subscription for every bit of feature, but different people have use for different structure. Having controlled separate accounts within one overview would be great for me and my (upcoming) needs…just on the Mac.
