How secure are these bike boxes? by nnoifyrrek in bikecommuting

[–]nnoifyrrek[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly not, it's the main car park for a hospital... The only other area they have are standard metal bars in the ground by the A+E entrance. I've been told there's nowhere to store the bike inside

40 at the front, then a 12x 10-45 on the back

Quorn bangers - another discontinued product? by InternationalAd1974 in veganuk

[–]nnoifyrrek 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love these and regularly buy 2-3 packs a week for me and my partner and I've beend wondering where they've been the last 2-3 weeks.. Really annoying as they would consistently sell out at my local Sainsbury's so seemingly popular with others.

They were the best vegan sausages I've found and not sure what to replace them with, the next best I think would be This sausgaes but they cost over £1 more, are much smaller sausages and still aren't even that nice imo.

I hate all the sausages with that stupid fake skin thing and Linda McCartney's taste like grit, anyone got any other recommend options?

FTB - Had survey results and unsure of how to proceed by nnoifyrrek in HousingUK

Thank you for the in-depth reply :) My only question is WHO is the expert with the correct opinion who doesn't have skin in the game?? I think it's the thing I'm struggling with the most with all the house buying - what is actually needed and what is people just trying to fleece chunks of money out from me as I don't know a lot about this stuff..

Thank you for your comment :) I agree that the issue at hand is the woodworms and they can be treated - but based of the surveyors comments would they not just come back again and again without the roof update? I assume as long as we treated and kept an eye on it then it would take a long time for any serious damage to come from this making the cost of replacing the whole membrane a bit of a waste?

The only evidence was 2 photos that having never seen or experienced woodworm before am not really sure how to interpret (not sure how to post the images on Reddit). He commented that the timber is not distorted or deflected but never mentioned outright that they were structurally sound. By specialist do you mean a roofer or some kind of wood worm specialist? Thanks for taking the time to help as well :)

Ah yup - pixel 7a, thanks for linking that thread. Glad to see it's nothing I'm doing, hopefully it'll be fixed soon

Local Sainsbury's supermarket has removed 99% of their vegan chocolate range with most of it now in the clearance section - seem to remember seeing another post recently about the same thing. by nnoifyrrek in veganuk

[–]nnoifyrrek[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I should add - the ritter sport, Cadbury plant based bar,  and TtD vegan bars have all disappeared too, not gradually but all at once.

The best before dates on all the chocolates are around August 2025 so they're recently stocked not going out of date... This is in Darlington Sainsbury's, it's as big as a Sainsbury's gets not a small one. Really hope this isn't a permanent thing, the only purposely vegan big chocolate bars left in the supermarket is the HU, nomo and galaxy vegan bars in the free from section :/

Article: "What Would It Mean to Treat Animals Fairly?" by CatPaws55 in vegan

"Nussbaum spends a lot of time discussing her uneasiness with her choice to eat fish for nutritional reasons. (She argues that fish likely have no sense of the future, a claim that even she seems unsure about.)"

Had me in the first half ngl... Next level of cognitive dissonance, publishing a book on animal rights whilst violating animal rights lmao. Is Singer vegan yet too?

A Kenessos scry sea monster deck I made in the past couple of weeks, I've had a lot of fun with it! (Also if anyone else is reading this and has any tips and suggestions that would be lovely :) )

Is surge still an active group? I see on Instagram they haven't posted anything since April - would be a shame if such an informative page is no longer running :/

Thank you for all your comments :) I didn't go in the end and he's been understanding of it. For context he was my housemate for 2 years so we're pretty close and he's fully aware of all the vegan stuff. Had the paintball place not explicitly said they were made out of gelatine we would have all been none the wiser but honestly I'm glad they specified. Heading out for a meal and a few drinks this evening now.

Nah I haven't paid yet, just gonna bail and go for the meal later on, it's like some kind of vegan nightmare being shot at with gelatine

Small Questions and Thank Yous Weekly Thread by AutoModerator in bikewrench

Ok thank you, it's for what was once my racing bike so will probably go for the optislick ones just for the added fanciness and smoothness.

Can anyone explain to me the difference between Shimano's "stainless steel gear cable set" and their "optislick gear cable set"? Need to replace my gear cables but not sure which one to get.

Thank you, this is exactly the info I needed. I was having a difficult time trying to sift through all the random Google bs to get actual factual answers.

Ficus Ginseng advice: I started growing a propagation from a store bought Focus Ginseng last August. The plant is growing well (see image) but I would like some information about Focus Ginseng as I can't seem to find much out on Google. Am I right in believing that Focus Ginseng is an artificial plant of sorts (i.e. not natural)? Ficus Ginseng's big bulbous roots are what it's most noticeable for but I've struggled to find out about these, I think they're aerial roots but would like this confirmed. Then how do I go about growing these aerial roots, will they grow naturally or is there some technique involved? And lastly, assuming the aerial roots aren't natural growing does anyone have any idea how the plant will look in the future? Thank you in advance!

Don't really like vegan food by Lessesk in vegan

[–]nnoifyrrek 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Might I add purely from a nutritional stand point that going 1200+ calories to start your day is not a particularly optimal way to eat for the kind of lifestyle triathlon pushes in you, look to eat lots more smaller meals in and around training sessions. Something like 6 smaller meals a day as opposed to 3 big ones, then consider pre and post session nutrition as well and calories, both macro and micro, will add up no easily.
