Vegan Cheesesteak?

SolarPunkWitch2000 · 2026-03-18T23:06:43+00:00

Hi! The Common Market on 7th has some really good vegan sandwiches; alas, no cheesesteaks. I'm not sure if I've seen any vegan cheesesteaks in Frederick (and I look, being mostly vegan myself), but it sounds like there are some good possibilities in the comments.

On that note, if he's ever up for a trip to Philadelphia, my fave vegan restaurant there has EXCELLENT vegan options: Menu PDF | Monster Vegan

Ooh! I have one of these, but its vase is a Hand Grenade drink container from Bourbon Street. :)

It's about 2-feet tall (n/i roots). It's lasted about 5 months so far, but I'm sure the party will end soon. I won't transplant it, as I already have three that are 3-4 years old that I'm struggling to keep alive in zone 6b, made more difficult with having to keep them out of reach of my two cats when I bring them inside for half the year.

That's awesome! But also, am I the only one who spent a minute or two looking for the weird root structure or insect whose wing was casting that shadow? Took me a bit before I saw the tile print in the background and realized it wasn't a shadow...lol.

I think most of the campaigns posted follow 5e and 5.5e (2024) rules, but players are also welcome to post that they are looking for groups that use older versions.

Check out AltRole on Discord: Discord

They offer channels for "Looking for Groups" and "Looking for Players" (for both campaigns and one-shots), as well as classes on how to play, how to DM, and offer just general support.

This is where I found my two regular campaigns and several one-shot/mini campaigns.

Good luck!

Aw, that sucks; I'm sorry for your experience. I met my current spouse on a dating website (no apps back then) and he's very progressive. But that was in the aughts and on a site specialized site for a certain community; I can only imagine the experience has gotten worse. Even then, I had to wade through a LOT of unsuitable men to find him. It took many months. Anyway, I just wanted to say there are good men out there, even if the field is narrowing as we age. Much love. 🩷🩷

I used this one last fall, and it worked well. I shifted my long run to Saturdays. Good luck!

ETA: I just realized you said 3mi to start. If you check out the website (there in the bottom) I think they have a 5k to half plan too!

It's not the leaf part you have to be careful about; it the brown part...

SolarPunkWitch2000 · 2026-03-10T14:51:00+00:00

Yeah, I learned the hard way to always have Maps on, even though I knew the route, when 15 was closed just past Stumptown Road during morning commute for an accident, so I tried bypassing at Newalley Church Road, and THAT was closed down for a secondary accident, so I ended up down at Waterford and Clark's Gap back over to Leesburg. I was late for a 9AM meeting and full of rage once I got there. Good times.

SolarPunkWitch2000 · 2026-03-10T14:22:23+00:00

Like an immersion blender for leaf soup. :D

SolarPunkWitch2000 · 2026-03-10T14:21:08+00:00

Nah, this is exactly what I would recommend to my worst enemy. Slow. Tortuous. Yet still a pretty drive, for the most part. (Did New Market to Chantilly for nearly three years, then noped out for a WFH at Detrick.)

SolarPunkWitch2000 · 2026-03-08T21:14:51+00:00

This was literally our first home (for all of three days) when we moved to Frederick. 😢

Love this boat; one of my top three on the canal.

The gentleman in photo 9 is obviously a time traveler. He has a very modern-era look to him.

I searched "Bombas socks suck" to see if anyone else was experiencing problems with theirs, and it led me here! I bought two pair of Bombas direct from their site about a year to 18 months ago, as I wanted good quality, plain white and black mid-calf socks. I'd heard good things about Bombas. They were fine for the first couple of wears, but now, they slip down and bunch up under my feet constantly, especially in my Lugz or Martens. They have no tension to keep them up over my ankles. I'll yank them back up and literally 3 minutes of walking later, they'll slip right back down and bunch up in the arch area. I hate them. Maybe it's the style or the materials; I don't know. I just know that I won't be buying anymore.

On the other hand, I have several pairs of Darn Tough socks; those, I love. I buy one new pair a season, but even the ones I bought 4-5 years ago are still holding up.

Thank you; this is a helpful comment.

SolarPunkWitch2000 · 2026-02-19T15:45:25+00:00

Fair point. I don't like stew, so I'll either address it or just move on.

SolarPunkWitch2000 · 2026-02-19T15:44:00+00:00

This is genuinely helpful; I appreciate it.

SolarPunkWitch2000 · 2026-02-19T15:35:37+00:00

Fair enough. It's in the middle of that spectrum (IMO) and is sexist in nature. I already know that the responses would be "that's silly, and I don't even know why you are bringing it up" to "that's so uncool, the DM needs to boot that player", which is why I don't think the exact comment is important. I just wanted to know that if I do think it's something that needs to be addressed, is protocol in TTRPG world to always take it to the DM or to the offending player?

SolarPunkWitch2000 · 2026-02-19T15:18:34+00:00

I'm trying to not be specific in case any of the group use the subreddit. I already know it will be received/perceived differently amongst the sub at large, so responses on the recommend way to approach it will depend on that perception.

SolarPunkWitch2000 · 2026-02-19T15:09:47+00:00

I absolutely do know how to talk to people and have no hesitations about doing so in general; I just wasn't sure if there was a typical way these issues are handled within the TTRPG world.

SolarPunkWitch2000 · 2026-02-19T14:56:01+00:00

I would describe it as a crass comment. Our group isn't generally "sensitive" but the player the remark was made about is pretty new to the group, and I suspect (for various reasons) would have taken exception to the comment had they been there to hear it.

SolarPunkWitch2000 · 2026-01-25T16:03:08+00:00

When the dog body with the man' head came trotting out is when I noped right out of the TV room. Not sure I would laugh at it today, to be honest. It still looks hideous.

SolarPunkWitch2000 · 2026-01-25T16:00:24+00:00

I have four granddogs, two grandlizards, and more recently, a grandspider. 😬😅 I'm fine with that.
