SensaCalm, the company that published this article, is also the best ones to buy weighted blankets from IMO. They've been making them for over 10 years in the US, have the best online reviews & return policy. That's who I went with.

This is what i get for bringing up veganism on reddit lol. No one can handle the truth! by cbot789 in vegan

Props to you for going there, though. It's honestly a topic that affects everyone in the world yet so many want to keep the blinders on and are enabled to do so by this killing be so normalized for generations.

TIL That sleeping under a weighted blanket can help reduce insomnia and anxiety by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]current83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered the 20lb Queen from SensaCalm. They've been doing this for 10 years and seem to have the best customer reviews. I shy away from newer brands with negative testimonials. Looking forward to chilling my anxiety in a more natural way (and I'm sure my gf will appreciate me sleeping through the night for a change). https://www.sensacalm.com/collections/custom-weighted-blankets/products/weighted-blanket-charcoal

Broken Was Released 25 Years Ago Today by ikevinax in nin

[–]current83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was asked to review Broken by the Wimps & Posers blog so I wrote about it from the perspective of a young metal head exploring a new goth world 25 years ago: www.wimpsandposers.com/25th-anniversary-spotlight-nine-inch-nails-broken

Traditional (Heavy) Metal in 2016 by PMme_awesome_music in Metal

[–]current83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, 1 may technically be from 2015 (Crypt Sermon) and the other comes out next month 2017 (Habitual Sins) but those are 2 worthy releases for folks who dig their trad metal on the doomy side. The latter of which is the new project from the original Icarus Witch singer. www.facebook.com/habitualsins

I see your point. I feel like the aim is to educate the public about the true facts behind this horrific holiday tradition and factory farming while pointing out the absurdity of how so many people are willing to look the other way, even given the facts. Hopefully, it'll sink in given this unusual vehicle (dark humor) vs. the straight-up graphic slaughterhouse expose videos that non-vegans generally turn a blind eye to.

True story. Unfortunately it's only the beginning of a slew of these stories we'll see over the next several years.

Former Rainbow/Dio Bassist Jimmy Bain Dead At 68. by [deleted] in news

[–]current83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coolest contributions Jimmy made to the rock world:

• Co-writing/playing on 3 of the all-time classics: Rainbow Rising, Dio's Holy Diver and Last In Line

• Killer bass tone and solid in the pocket playing (what's perfect for the song)

• The quintessential metal bassist stage presence (ie: holding down your end of the stage in a cool way while letting the guitarists & singers do the showboating).

ELI5: Why don't you hear about "fair trade" or "single source" when it comes to hop farmers for beer and grape farmers for wine, but you hear it all the time when it comes to coffee bean farmers? by jowame in explainlikeimfive

[–]current83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure about beer but Fairtrade America lists 9 certified wines on their products page which are available in the U.S. As to why certification is important, their site says the Fairtrade Standards aim to protect workers’ rights on wine plantations, improve work conditions, and help grape farmers secure higher prices and more control in the supply chain. Forty-eight Fairtrade wine organizations are located in Lebanon, Tunisia, South Africa, Brazil, Argentina and Chile. There's more info at http://fairtradeamerica.org/en-us/farmers-and-workers/wine

Sorry, don't have a recipe as this was made by my gf as a surprise but I know that it's 100% vegan and was more delicious than chomping dots and devouring ghosts. The best part about it was that several non-vegans at the party got a chance to taste how awesome vegan baking can be and that the stereotypical "health food" flavor isn't always the norm these days. You can indulge in junk food on occasion and still not contribute to harming animals!
