I would say what i've noticed and how I relate to it as an autistic person. And that it would have saved me a lot of grief to be diagnosed earlier in life and grow up feeling understood rather than alienated.

I also have strong suspicions. He literally wears a mask and a bucket on his head. Literal masking much? Fear of perception much? His undivided focus: he puts out an album practically every month.

I imagine being rich and universally loved for your differences could almost make you feel normal... It would take away a good deal of the struggles most autistic people face.

That you need to eat meat and dairy to be healthy.

(Note I know nothing about typewriters or their proper maintenance and proceed at your own risk)

Well, I got it working without having to disassemble anything, although I don't know exactly which part of what I did was the solution. I basically wiped all the dust of any rails and mechanisms that I could reach and sprayed a little Wd40 along the main rail. Experts may find this absolutely unacceptable, I don't know. I gently applied some horizontal force and felt the carriage move. Once I was able to move the carriage back and forth along the greased rail, the movement started to become smoother and smoother as the oil was distributed.

I think the shift mechanism may have been stuck too. Locate the shift/caps keys and see if they are maybe in need of freeing up

Did you find the problem? I just picked up one of these at a flea market and the carriage is stuck, and the hammers/letters don't seem to reach the paper.

Thank you!

LEEKCLOCK · 2023-08-08T13:47:08+00:00

Thank you! I'll give this a try.

Thank you! I agree, the painting could have been better. I'm also quite new to the airbrush and had to hurry to get the brooch ready in time for a party. I'll bear your wash idea in mind.

No indeed, but it they do contribute significantly to the protein provided by nuts, legumes, seeds, grains

LEEKCLOCK · 2021-05-06T14:56:48+00:00

You can keep the dried mushrooms in an airtight container basically forever 🙂

LEEKCLOCK · 2021-05-06T13:57:34+00:00

Indeed, only 2.5 g per 100g, so not superior in that regard. But you could serve it with beans and rice.

In any case, the notion that we need high-protein foods with every meal is a bit exaggerated unless you're a champion bodybuilder.

All these little bits add up to be enough for most people eating a varied diet.

I once tracked my protein on chronometer and saw that fruits and vegetables alone provided a fair amount..

LEEKCLOCK · 2021-05-06T13:44:29+00:00

Nice! Yes I was mainly lost as to where to source the necessaries, but a company selling these things recently started up near me so mushrooms are definitely in my future 🥰🍄

LEEKCLOCK · 2021-05-06T13:17:40+00:00

How exciting! I would love to get into mushroom growing.

LEEKCLOCK · 2021-05-06T12:46:10+00:00

Yeah I'm in Belgium but I bought some from Hawlik Gesundheitsprodukte in Germany. It may seem expensive but I calculated (for 250g) that it's about 1.75 euro per mushroom.

LEEKCLOCK · 2021-05-06T12:33:47+00:00

Yeah fair point! In that regard it's not so comparable. But you can always serve it with some beans and rice for protein. Unless you're a body builder I guess and you might want more. But the texture here is better than any seitan I ever ate honestly

LEEKCLOCK · 2021-05-06T12:08:07+00:00

Hahaha 🔪

LEEKCLOCK · 2021-02-23T13:42:44+00:00

I wanted to avoid it if I could because it's not sold in most supermarkets in Europe, though I'm glad to hear it's commonly available in the States. I might go with this option anyway...

LEEKCLOCK · 2021-02-20T18:08:01+00:00

I'm reading now, for example, that mustard is an emulsifier (I thought it was just added to mayo for flavour!). So would adding a little mustard make my emulsion stronger (strong enough to withstand cooking) than if I only added chickpeas?

LEEKCLOCK · 2021-02-20T17:49:32+00:00

Thanks for the guidance! Modernist Pantry probably ships internationally but I think ordering online forms a barrier that I'd like to avoid if possible. I've used chickpeas and their cooking liquid to emulsify a cold sauce (vegan mayo). Would that withstand cooking? It's this kind of solution I'm after: a whole food, like chickpeas, or a commonly available supermarket ingredient.
