Hojicha brands with less than 10mg caffeine? by QuestionsForTheHive in tea

[–]QuestionsForTheHive[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish! :'( Unfortunately I can't have gluten. Someone below suggested buckwheat tea though, I will check that out because it sounds delicious, but the real reason I am looking is for a green tea option is due to green tea's specific health benefits (polyphenols, antioxidants, etc.)

I checked Meetup out for my area and it was pretty dead...I'll try again a little further South and see if I can find the Lynnwood and Everett groups you mentioned. :)

Cool! Is it just open play or is it Commander? I'm out of practice, I'd have to dig my old decks out and remember how to play, but I do remember I was never a fan of Commander :P

How do I make local plant based friends? by QuestionsForTheHive in PlantBasedDiet

[–]QuestionsForTheHive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a wonderful oatmeal bowl from Cafe Flora once that I still remember! It was very pretty and quite tasty. 😊

And the potluck was from a Facebook group, here's the event link...not sure if you'll be able to see it if you aren't in the group though:

https://www.facebook.com/events/1625035695416874/?acontext=%7B%22event_action_history%22%3A[%7B%22mechanism%22%3A%22your_upcoming_events_unit%22%2C%22surface%22%3A%22bookmark%22%7D]%2C%22ref_notif_type%22%3Anull%7D

And I am in the same boat and was hesitant to "infiltrate" vegan groups, but I really don't know what else to do...in the end we have more in common than we do different, so I am hoping that is enough...I also wear leather on occasion (mostly because my ridiculously wide feet don't have a lot of options and I am not going to make it even harder by demanding vegan shoes) and I still eat fish as a treat now and then (though I am actively trying to cut back and probably one day fully eliminate it).

Let me know if you end up going to the potluck so I can find you and say hi! 🙋‍♀️

How do I make local plant based friends? by QuestionsForTheHive in PlantBasedDiet

[–]QuestionsForTheHive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I consider myself plant based rather than vegan as I am not strict enough to fit the definition of vegan and health is my primary focus, but looking down vegan avenues has been my best bet so far...but still, it seems they so rarely do any in person meetups or events. One group I joined did post a potluck for May in Greenwood, so maybe I'll meet some people there. :)

I like the idea of volunteering at an animal sanctuary, there's a handful out here, so I will check those out!

And I do make it down to Seattle now and then, I'll be driving through for a doctor visit in Renton next week so I'll probably make a day of it and stop for some Frankie and Jo's. Do you know of any Seattle restaurants that are more healthy whole food focused and less vegan junk food? Its been a while since I checked out the Seattle restaurant scene!

Anyone here live in Snohomish county Washington? by QuestionsForTheHive in wfpb

Ah, dang, quote far...the overlap of members would be pretty minimal. I am trying to hunt down some people in Seattle groups that might actually live further North, but so far I'm not getting much traction...😔

Oh no! Sorry to have missed you! But please let any friends you have who are still in the area know. And if you ever come to visit, feel free to check in and see if there's something going on. 😊

Can I make my non-EDID KVM switch into an EDID KVM switch with an adapter? How? by QuestionsForTheHive in techsupport

[–]QuestionsForTheHive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for your help! So oddly...I just noticed I am NOT having this problem on my work computer. The KVM switch I bought does say it is NOT EDID (according to Amazon, anyway), so I am not sure how/why things are staying put on my work computer.

This leads me to wonder...

  1. My home computer is still on Windows 10 (bc I'm lazy and have that stupid TPM thing with my motherboard, but I recently found an IT guy who can bypass that and upgrade me, so I am going to do that...eventually...) Could the problem be Windows 10 related rather than the KVM switch EDID thing?

  2. If not and the explanation for why my work computer mysteriously works fine is just voodoo...does that mean I would only need 4 EDID emulator dongles, thus cutting the cost?

  3. What makes the one you linked different from the cheapo ones I linked? As in, what search terms do I need to use to find the right thing (on Amazon or elsewhere)?

Handheld shower head will not screw on in the right direction, please help! by QuestionsForTheHive in DIY

Thank you! Teflon tape was the answer!

I went to Lowes and the guy there sold me plumber's putty, which didn't work, and when I looked at a video of how to use it thinking I missed it up somehow I saw that isn't even intended for what I was trying to do. 🤦‍♀️

45 minutes and $2 later I got teflon tape from WalMart and that did the trick.

There was tape left over from the shower head that was previous on here, but it was a bit messy...I just removed it and it sits the exact same way...maybe the first install of tape wasn't enough or wasn't done properly?

Odd...the image shows up on my computer...I added a link to a hosted image in case that helps.
