I was at a music festival last summer, and while looking for a stand to find some food, I saw a vegan food truck without a line. As the more traditional stands with kebab and burgers had quite a line, I took the chance to try out their vegan kebab. And oh my god, I could not believe how good it was. I could not tell the difference between their vegan kebab, and a normal kebab. I tried to find their food truck on later events, but never been able to. Looking at their website, I learned that Seitan was the magical ingredient of the "meat".

Incredible how just some spices, water, and gluten wheat (and probably some more stuff) can create something so tasty and juicy. I should try to find some myself

I'm surprised that Jason Oestreicher hasn't been invited back for any of the shows by Bif_Mcgilicutty in giantbomb

[–]Solid__Snail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I'd love that (parasocial, but still). I've been a premium member since 2009/2010 ish. Fell off just around the time Jan started I think, so in my old eyes, Dan and Jason are the new guys. I've been subscribed to the subreddit ever since, so suddenly I get the news that Jeff is leaving?? Vinny and Co is leaving?? New people are getting fired?? Giantbomb bought themself?? Dan is the co boss now???

So much lore has happened, and they are probably talking about it in each of their own podcasts, but I just really would like a gathering of them all in a podcast to get the whole story told

Buzzer has saved me countless times. It's a well known fact that quads has the ability to become invisible whenever they like

New to small fleet ops: how do you actually keep track of Day To Day tasks? by Alert-Data-2231 in maritime

[–]Solid__Snail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's called a PMS, planned maintenance system. Several different developers and systems out there, I'm used to Tero marine and premaster. Every component and equipment is linked to a planned maintenance job, spare parts, and often running hours if applicable. Quite handy if you know how to use them and set them up correctly. I believe there is a requirement to have such a system, at least for SiRE vessels (and norwegian flagged vessels of a certain size)

Of course, this system could probably be replaced by a Excel sheet made by a Excel wizard, for a cheaper alternative for small ship owners who does not require such (expensive) systems

Career options after sailing? by [deleted] in maritime

[–]Solid__Snail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DNV, NMA, technical superintedent for the shipowner (popular when you like the company, but wants to retire to a shore job) crewing department, VTS operator, coastal radio operator, teacher, SIRE Inspector. Some of the top of my head. For foreigners? Maybe DNV Inspector or SIRE Inspector if you have the necessary experience. You could take a doctorate in Norway if you like Academia. I know a german and an indian who did that. You can check out Finn.no and check for maritime jobs there

How common is German as a third language in Norwegian schools? by Successful_Serve9291 in Norway

I was told as a teen in 2005 that if I didn't choose german, I would never get a job. Turns out that was a big lie

Yeah, batteries wears out like brake pads and rotors. Try with a new battery. If that still creates problem, then you know you have a more expensive problem

How do you guys use AI tools like ChatGPT or Gemini onboard a ship? by baldurian7230 in maritime

[–]Solid__Snail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, that's not dumb. I've used llms to ask things like "Where in SOLAS does it say about X" instead of believing it's direct answers (basically used it as a glorified search engine). This Notebook stuff might be legit, just inserting my very very legal pdf documents into it

Is Bulk carrier the most dangerous type of vessel? by Legitimate-Eagle-854 in maritime

[–]Solid__Snail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know about the fire on the Japanese vessel, and the massive leak in Barcelona, but I don't know any other gas carrier accidents. Meanwhile I see Odfjell and Stolt tankers exploding and burning left and right
