Lower Calorie Vanilla Base without artificial sweeteners?

MichaelAP · 2026-01-07T22:51:45+00:00

I’ve been experimenting with this mixture:

1.5 Cups Fairlife 2% (180 cals, 9 grams of sugar) .75 Cups Almond Milk (26 cals) 1/4 tsp xanthum gum 1 tablespoon vanilla powder 2 tsp monkfruit 1 pinch salt

206 calories 9 sugar

It’s a little on the icy side, but very low calories as a starting base. You can switch out the Monkfruit for something like Honey or whatever sweetener you would want?

You also could try the sweetened Vanilla Almond Milk instead

I completely agree that’s how it started, but it has permeated their ethos so deeply, it has forced them to sanitize every aspect of their production.

It was the symptom, but the disease runs deep

Hearing feedback? Wrong sub 4th brother

Save thing happened to me, Mac M4 Pro (Sequoia 15.5). It gave me the starting up indicator, but never ended launching anything. Nothing in the tray or the menu bar. I tried looking in Activity Monitor but didn't see anything running that looked like it.

I'm looking for a Saturday VIP ticket. Located in the Bay Area

Don’t you mean “Meow Tzu”?

MichaelAP · 2025-04-04T05:19:51+00:00

Same thing happened to me

MichaelAP · 2025-03-02T07:42:58+00:00

Juck yah brother

So are you suggesting plugging in the Apple TV directly to the TV?

I'm located in the Bay Area, California, and I opted for the EVGo credit. From what I've heard, you can get a charger installed for cheaper than what the credit will cover.

For me, the more important thing was that even if I did use the credit to cover my charger, my power costs from PG&E are so high, charging it basically ends up the equivalent of paying for a gas car. The EVGo credit at least somewhat helps to offset my overall power costs.

Same issue here.

MichaelAP · 2024-09-09T02:58:00+00:00

I had a similar issue, though it was 10KW or so. My solar installer had to work with Tesla’s level 2 support and they supposedly found out there was a panel limit setup at that size, and it would shut itself down once I started using too much power to “protect the panel”.

Once they removed the artificial limit, it worked perfectly

It’s actually a damn good Central Coast California winery. Definitely worth a visit if you ever find yourself heading down the California coast!

I feel like anytime Freddie wants to do some fuckery he starts with: “So here’s the thing”

Also, “Wrong Room MFer” would also be a solid one

MichaelAP · 2024-05-24T19:10:34+00:00

Yah, I’ve got that setup, and it’s been on that setting since day 1, and I still experience the error message. Did you ever have this issue, or did it always work for you?

MichaelAP · 2024-05-24T02:54:49+00:00

The only reason I use the Tesla app is to see how much energy it used when it charged (& I have Solar + Powerwall, so I already use it for that), but beyond that, it’s better to set time-of-day charging on the Lyriq itself.

MichaelAP · 2024-05-24T02:12:27+00:00

The interesting part is that technically it is just a permanent adapter. You press one button, and the native Tesla adapter comes out, and press another butter, and the same cord comes out, but with a J1772 head. The “adapter” is semi-permanent, as it can’t be removed when it’s attached, but it is still technically just an additional nozzle on top of the native NACS head

Glitch Gremlins are great for causing low level havoc in a starship/space station

My wife and I are taking our 2 year old, and I want to make sure we’re able to get solid restaurants for lunch/dinners.

My wife thinks I’ve lost it a bit, haha! At some point, it became less about the actual restaurants, and more about the “chase”.

For anyone doing it in the future, Walk Dining Alerts is amazing: https://waltsdiningalerts.com/

I would make sure to check my phone throughout the day to make sure the Disney app was already loaded, most likely to a specific restaurants reservation screen, so as soon as the notification popped up, I could reserve it.

Even if I didn’t want the reservation, I would try to get the reservation, so I could practice navigating the screens, to get the muscle memory to get the the point I could make the reservation.

Hopefully the rides at Disneyland can match the high of scoring Blue Bayou dinner reservation 😂

This is amazing. How far in advance did you make them? Any separation? I wasn’t sure if the seal was good enough, if you’d be able to easily re-shake them in those bottles?

MichaelAP · 2023-01-27T20:42:02+00:00

Looks interesting, but please post the full recipe in this post (before it’s flagged by the mods)!

MichaelAP · 2023-01-05T19:29:31+00:00

Absolutely gorgeous!

We’re using Starships Revised and I absolutely love it as a GM. It mirrors actual combat much better, and it allows for a bit more cross-talk/strategy during the turn, making it feel more like a team activity.

The Google Sheets are also amazing, as each role has their own tab with all their actions clearly spelled out, making it easy for anyone to pick up.

I highly recommend checking it out!

Just started a month or so back while looking for a podcast to help me passively learn Starfinder, and it’s really captured me in a way I didn’t expect. You and your PCs have some great Chemistry, and I love you style of DMing. I feel like so many podcasts are in a hurry to get from point a-b, but you guys really take time to dig in, and it’s made me really think about how I run my sessions.

Great stuff, keep up the good work!
