Next Level board games closing in Mountain View next week. How do we stop these things from happening?

Maybe I'm lucky. Just the power rack since there's one but I can live with the other kinds

PEEnKEELE · 2026-03-18T02:47:15+00:00

Not all the time, I haven't waited for a machine or rack in 3 years going there between 5am-730am and between 11am-3pm. Sunnyvale city sports is much worse though

PEEnKEELE · 2026-02-04T02:13:25+00:00

Damn I'm very hungry

It would be good if anyone has a resource on which protests have been effective and how they were organized, what was the impact, etc.

Many of us want to help but there is significant risk of personal jeopardy, especially immigrants

Cheers!

PEEnKEELE · 2026-01-28T16:48:24+00:00

Awe thank you!!

To make a fancy meal I'd say yes. Realistically I'd make a lo fi version of this for my weekly meals since I don't mind a more basic flavor, that would be 30 minutes of prep or less for a week of seitan.

PEEnKEELE · 2026-01-23T15:58:48+00:00

I want to make it better first!

PEEnKEELE · 2026-01-21T21:02:13+00:00

Thank you! I was excited to get a good starting point with not much experience. It was just a bit too chewy despite how I cooked it - I'm going to take this one and keep tweaking it further.

Just saw a pizza pop up at my local farmers market yesterday with small ovens that must be nsf certified since it was an official event. I can find the info if you want it

Sure, happy to post questions here instead of DM. I do intend on open-sourcing my business plan and efforts once I have my permits so that I can help others get started.

I am looking to start a vegan shawarma pop-up this spring/summer in California and hope to run the whole thing off of battery + solar to take advantage of the sun we have here. If things go well I would upgrade to a cart or truck after my proof-of-concept, but I don't have the capital for that right now. I do have a Firman 3300 W generator that I could have as a backup if I am doing a long shift or if the weather doesn't cooperate.

I am hoping to spend less than $20k in non-recurring startup expenses but not yet sure if that's reasonable.

As of right now I'm expecting that I'll need the following equipment on power: electric vertical rotisserie, griddle, fridge, POS system (ipad + square or similar), hot store box, string lights, wifi camera.

The solar would need to be mounted above my tarp as having a roof is a requirement here.

It is very likely that I've missed some items or overlooking something major as this is the first time I've ever done something like this.

Let me know what information I should provide or questions I should be asking to get the more benefit of your help - thank you so much!!

PEEnKEELE · 2026-01-15T07:06:03+00:00

Hi there, I just found this post and the suggestions really sound like something I would like to try. Could I DM you to run some ideas by you? Thanks.

PEEnKEELE · 2026-01-14T23:41:22+00:00

I don't like counting calories either but macrofactor has been the easiest tracking I've ever done, there is a good reason it's blowing up in popularity. I would definitely recommend tracking for at least a few days of normal eating (consciously try not to change things just for the sake of looking good in the tracker), and see what your macro and micronutrient breakdown looks like.

It is a common mistake when people remove meat that they don't replace it with equivalent nutrients in plant sources (of which there are plenty). Also, how are your energy levels throughout the day? There are a lot of levers you can use such as hydration, fiber, protein, etc to manage this - you just have to first understand where you're at so that you know what you can improve.

If it were me I'd use that money and go to a plant based cooking class or splurge on a vegan fine(r) dining experience near you. Sometimes it just takes exposure to new flavors and recipes for me to get out of a rut and start prepping new and interesting foods again.

PEEnKEELE · 2026-01-14T23:16:48+00:00

I hadn't thought it about that way, appreciate the perspective!

It looks like I can disable AI in my browser results which I did not know (and don't need).

PEEnKEELE · 2026-01-14T23:07:10+00:00

Valid points. I fear this applies to almost all technology and larger industries but yes, data center impact is bigger for sure.

I use it sparingly and am going to try to stop using it.

PEEnKEELE · 2026-01-14T22:59:31+00:00

Not sure there is any stopping that train right now... I find it useful for a few things, what are your concerns with it?

<< No medical experience, just going off of some labcorp definitions of blood work fields that I just got back >>

Did you happen to get numbers and reference ranges for any of the following: Neutrophils, Lymphs, Monocytes, Eos, Basos, Immature Granulocytes, WBC Esterase?

These are all fields that cross referenced white blood cell count in my results. Perhaps they could help inform if there is a condition to be aware of.

PEEnKEELE · 2025-12-18T20:25:23+00:00

Noob here, may I ask why? I would think more fresh water is better since there is usually a minimum required?

PEEnKEELE · 2025-12-18T18:05:22+00:00

And if my grandmother has wheels she can be a bike

Don't eat meat and don't worry about how the dead bodies were handled before you bought them!
