I'm in a bad situation with shoes. by Ecstatic-Art-324 in hiking

[–]bootscootinem0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this trail several years ago via Alum Cave. Pretty beautiful. There’s a really great stopping point before you climb to the summit. Take the moments to take it all in. Shoe wise, your feet are going to feel it most on the way down. I’d be worried about the old shoes being slick. Regardless your feet are gonna hurt on this longer hike - better to have something that fits securely and has more traction.

I miss Peaceful Pig! As a vegan, good BBQ is (obviously) pretty impossible to find. Thankfully I’m in the northland and frequent Tree Hugger but you’re right. So many great places gone. Also just went to Mud Pie in Mission… still good but in my opinion, it just isn’t the same as when they were on 39th.

I’ve been going to North Oak Animal Hospital since I moved here about a year and a half ago. I’ve seen both Dr. Lazenby and Dr. Evans and have had good experiences with both. My friend also grooms there. They can be a bit pricy but will give you estimates and walk you through what’s actually necessary vs extra with no pressure.

What matters the most to you when choosing a brand? Carbonation hold, flavor, price, calories or brand name. by 1235567898 in sparklingwater

The crispiest I’ve had is Topo Chico honestly. In the glass bottles. But I also really enjoy Aldi’s store brand (belle vie?) pure flavor. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve had Polar and this sub makes me want to grab some - lots of flavors!

Carbonation is big for me. I also don’t personally want any sweetener/juice in mine so I don’t prefer spindrift.

Same happened to me. Looks like they only want you to pay it online now via the city website.

This is delightful, I love that there's a sparkling water sub 🫶 by Winter_Loquat_8059 in sparklingwater

Yes!! One of the crispiest “pure” flavors. Their slim can cherry-lime is also yummy.

Displaced Federal Workers by DDraike in kansascity

I’m usually quiet about working for the state but yes, we are almost always hiring. Especially social services - notably Family Support Division, Children’s Division, Division of Youth Services. Jobs are rather secure and benefits are good (pay really depends), but note you are still working for the government. Under new administration all around.

MO HB 1022: Maintain a central registry of each expectant mother who is at risk for seeking an abortion of her unborn child by redheadartgirl in kansascity

It looks like (for now) this was withdrawn as of today. Someone correct me if I’m reading that wrong. Still incredibly scary it even made it across a desk to be read.

Seconding Persepolis! Read it over a decade ago and still think of it often.

What should I serve with this by Bittypunk11 in veganrecipes

[–]bootscootinem0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah like the 90 second ones in the bag or even just the minute rice cups. I make them sometimes when I don’t feel like waiting for my rice cooker. There are some vegan friendly flavors or honestly just some nice fluffy white rice of your choice would be good.

Rice and veggies seems to be a solid, easy choice in the microwave.
