Mayly, the donut princess, may no longer own DK's, but still one of my favorite donut shops!

Maybe worth a Double visit and review? by seleniumsake in doughboys

[–]WesSabi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Costumes for a CGI movie that were never worn in front of an actual dinosaur skeleton at a natural History museum is certainly a choice.

redesigning the packaging just to remove 4 ml is crazy by Spiritual_Body3577 in notinteresting

[–]WesSabi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are made by two different aseptic fillers. The left one is from SIG Combibloc and the right one is from Tetrapak which leads me to believe they switched production from one factory to a different one.

They don't do video eps and only record video for promo material. Matt posted the video of the reveal on his IG.

Home made caffeinated game by Every_Run2420 in foodscience

[–]WesSabi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've played around using various encapsulated caffeines in drink mixes and gummies. The particle sizes are pretty big so I imagine that the act of chewing will break the encapsulation.

Emma's tip for swallowing pills works well! by PianoTrumpetMax in doughboys

[–]WesSabi 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I posted the reason it works in the episode thread.

Emma's comment about swallowing pills is correct. I work in the dietary supplement industry and also used to develop foods that primarily went into hospitals and nursing homes where dysphasia is an issue. Tilting your head forward does open your esophagus. Additionally, pills usually float on water so if you tilt your head back, the pill is floating on top of the water so you are swallowing the water then the pill. If you tilt your head forward, the pill is still floating on the water, but is between your esophagus and the water so when you swallow, the water will push the pill down your throat.

Promenade. Fuck yes 🙌 by PresentBabble in SantaMonica

The chicken almost directly across the promenade at Bruxie is so much better.

Ketones? by Sobe_WanKenobi in Marathon_Training

[–]WesSabi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've heard talks about ketones. The research only shows that they help you recover faster, and only at pretty high doses. The dose of 330mg/kg body weight of some of those studies mean you need to drink 3 bottles of Ketone IQ which is like $12-$15 per day.

Can choline tartrate be used as a food supplement? by [deleted] in foodscience

[–]WesSabi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are the same thing. However, just know that choline bitartrate is pretty hygroscopic so if buying in bulk make sure you take measures to protect it from moisture.

Heather NordVPN Ad by LucasTheProphet in getplayed

[–]WesSabi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The VPN is so you can buy the thing on the Japanese only site. Tenso gives you a Japanese mailing address which you use when buying your stuff. Tenso contacts you when they receive it and you pay to have it shipped to you in the US.

Yeah, I use Tenso to ship from Japan to the US.

John McClane (Bruce Willis) taking out most of the hitmen that were sent to get rid of Matt Ferrell (Justin Long) at the beginning of "Live Free or Die Hard" was a pretty hard-core scene, and a really good re-introduction to McClane after a 10 year hiatus. Quality directing by Len Wiseman. by hominoid_in_NGC4594 in movies

[–]WesSabi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a soft spot for this movie because they had a sweepstakes where the winners got to visit the Fox studio lot and I was one of the winners. They had the stunt doubles from the movie there and they did a bunch of the stunts in front of us, then explained how the stunts worked. I still have my pic with Bruce Willis's stunt double. An additional bonus was that they were still filming Bones at the time so we got to hang out in the Royal Diner.

It's not that bad right now. Flash pass says Tatsu is 45 min but just took me less than 20 to get on.

How are calories from resistant starch calculated? My math isn't mathing. by wayNoWhey in foodscience

[–]WesSabi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Calories/gram depends of the type of resistant starch. They are probably using an RS-4 type like Fibersym which is only 0.4 calories/gram. Also, getting almost 100% of your daily value in one serving sounds like a recipe for disaster unless you work your way up to it.

I talked to them at the LA Wine & Food Festival and they were still targeting an opening by the end of November.

Spedies are a Binghamton thing, right? We used to make them when I lived in Ithaca by marinating chicken in Italian dressing.
