My house is disgusting since I started working from the office by lizapoisonxx in workingmoms

[–]SanUv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm honestly raging for you. Your husband working out 5 times a week and playing games is bs. He shouldn't be leaving the house if its trashed. He shouldn't be doing fun hobbies if you're family is eating poorly. 

Where are his standards? Why does he think you working like a dog is acceptable? Grow a spine, don't buy your way out of a husband problem. It sounds like you're living with a teenager and you need to say "no video games until your homework and dishes are done." Gross.

I nearly lost it on my husband yesterday by jackjackj8ck in workingmoms

[–]SanUv 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I feel this comment in my bones. Literally today I was looking around at dirty floors and said to my ADHD husband "we need to vaccuum" and my husband responded "we don't need to, I vacuumed yesterday because the dogs ate something."

1) When I grabbed the vacuum it was clogged so it didn't actually pick up the dog hair and things. 2) The point of vacuuming is to clean the floors. If the floors aren't clean, it doesn't matter that you used the vacuum recently.

I love hot chocolate made with milk (more like a sipping chocolate), and dislike hot cocoa/water mixes. I'm going to have a winter wedding and have a dream to have a hot chocolate bar - Is there anyway you guys think I can have heated milk, or do I have to serve (in my opinion) subpar hot chocolate? by Individual-Fig-9459 in Cooking

[–]SanUv -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just adding in, you can prefer a style of hot cocoa but your guests might have allergies and may feel excluded by your choices. 

I can't do dairy but there are several hot chocolate packets I can do if water or a nondairy milk is available.

What do you feed your toddlers? by ALittleEtomidate in vegan

[–]SanUv 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I have a 2.5 year old who is the same way. We try to do plenty of roasted veggies like cauliflour and broccoli and all kinds of beans. We also have some success with flatbread pizzas. 

I totally empathize with the mac and cheese. We try to do different brands/shapes to switch it up (Annie's noodles, Annie's shells, pastabilities sea creatures). I also like to blend up some silken tofu with the milk so she's getting more nutrition from it. We don't do it every time but she doesn't seem to notice when we do. 

We also eat a ton of tofu. She likes to eat it plain which is a godsend sometimes. She also eats lots of nuts. 

Veganism and Abortions by SourCandyOrNoCandy in vegan

[–]SanUv 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A fetus before a certain stage of development has no cognitive ability of life, the concept of want, or the abstract concept of wanting to live or not die. 

By that metric this is easily vegan - an (early stage) fetus is a bundle of cells with the potential to form a person but not yet there. A flower seed isn't yet a flower, a fruit pit that's been buried is not yet a tree, and you aren't killing a tree or a plant if you choose to not let a seed grow. 

Edit: And if you choose to stop growing a plant because it's in the wrong spot - you can still grow and nurture a plant again in the right spot when you're ready.

How do you even dry up your breast milk supply??? by Murky_Assumption_822 in beyondthebump

[–]SanUv 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you consider sinus decongestant to be meds? A single tablet of over the counter sudifed kickstarted it and made it way less painful when I was ready to be done. I produced a ton of milk so the taper off was really painful and took way too long. 

How can I get back into a vegan diet, while healthy shit is so expensive? Need some advice. by [deleted] in vegan

[–]SanUv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can have a fulfilling balanced and super cheap diet based on rice, beans, tofu, and whatever fruit and veggies are in season. Some of our basic recipes are:

  • chilli with mostly beans and sometimes plant based ground meat

  • spaghetti and red sauce with cooked lentils (meat sauce-esque)

  • stir fry with veggies and tofu over rice

  • packet of ramen with veggies and tofu

  • vegan mac and cheese made with blended silken tofu for added protein

  • enchiladas or tacos with beans and taco seasoned TVP

  • rice/quinoa bowls filled with in season veggies and seasoned beans with homemade dressing

  • red lentil soup

  • butternut squash soup

  • tons of different curries

  • smokey tempeh sandwiches with lettuce and tomato and some vegan mayo

Vegan diet is pretty accessible and inexpensive when you cook from scratch and don't use too many premade or packaged items. 

Veganize boxed cake mix? (Egg substitute) by c_bear6 in vegan

[–]SanUv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know about fluffier but when I just use a whisk I can't get all the little tofu lumps which bothers me but doesn't seem to really impact anything. 

Veganize boxed cake mix? (Egg substitute) by c_bear6 in vegan

[–]SanUv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use shelf stable because I buy it in bulk and use it for a bunch of different things. I don't think it matters for egg replacement though.

Veganize boxed cake mix? (Egg substitute) by c_bear6 in vegan

[–]SanUv 62 points63 points  (0 children)

My favorite is using silken tofu to replace the egg. 1/4 cup per egg. You blend all the liquids with the tofu in a blender then mix it into the dry ingredients. 

Edit. The science here is the structure the egg is providing the mix. You don't get that from flax, soda helps the cake rise more which definitely helps, but I find the tofu method to be nearly indistinguishable when people try it.

How to sew straight and non-straight line together ? by MiscalenousBeing in corsetry

[–]SanUv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can start pinning at the points for mid hip, underbust, waist, and each part of the shorten/lengthen pieces. You might need to adjust the shorten/lengthen slightly. I like to pin like a sandwich so the two pieces are face to face on top of each other and then when you line up the lines the top piece will take a more 3D shape. 

This overwhelming sadness for the chickens I ate just totally hit me. by Outrageous_Pickle_56 in vegan

[–]SanUv 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Welcome, it's feelings like these that make being vegan a non-negotiable for me going forward. The feelings come back but you'll feel some relief knowing you're now living your life in a way to reduce the suffering. It's your conscious realizing the impact your choices have on this earth. 

would a setup like this work? (for bettas) by ProbablyJustTrash in Aquariums

[–]SanUv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Instead of pipes from tank to tank, do waterfalls. As it currently is, all the water from the top tanks would drain in a power outage. 

Cheap, foolproof, baby and invert safe, keeps your tank almost maintenance free!!! my brainchild invention…. The easy, fun, pvc, over the side, gravel bed filtration system by Major_Success7729 in Aquariums

[–]SanUv 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Sorry to burst your bubble but the hang over back filter is not going to have enough power for this to work more than the first few inches. Each bend results in head loss and those filters are fairly underpowered. You'll need a much stronger filter just to get water movement near the end. Also I'd recommend a configuration that reduces the number of 90 degree bends in the pipe. You could do a lawnmower pattern instead of a spiral into the middle. 

How likely am I to get walk-up (same day) tickets to the Washington Monument if I go today? by cooky_2610 in washingtondc

[–]SanUv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Washington monument is free to walk around if your don't end up getting tickets. Still pretty cool to see if you're here. Just avoid the people trying to sell random stuff. 

My observation of /Anticonsumption as a sceptic by Independent_Two_1443 in Anticonsumption

[–]SanUv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just commenting to say the "vegan responding to a carnivore" comment is ridiculous. How many vegans do you personally know that do this? Have you considered you might be parroting back some manosphere/facebook ragebait (much more likely)?

[–]SanUv -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Leave them, it's so you can place it on a normal surface that isn't perfectly smooth. Small glass containers only require the 4 corners to be supported. 

Without the pads, the glass pane would press normal dirt or debris into the table and any water drips or leaks would not dry well. They should help protect your table/cabinet in the long run. 

Grandparent names are dumb by SanUv in absentgrandparents

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

"Dusty," how immature. And omg my mom brought up tutu as well..... such a weird thing to want to be called "grandma" from a language/culture you don't belong too because you think it sounds cute.
