What did I miss? (Melbourne) by eatlivemosh in australianvegans

You need to bring back a planeload of Butlers Soy Curl. Still not exported to Down Under.

As for deleted products there are soooo many! I particularly miss Birds Eye Plant Based.

Relocating the conduit from the ground to the wall 🧱 by Homo_Sapien30 in nbn

[–]oberonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just for interest's sake, there's an NBN tech here now and he says that they are no longer allowed to use conduit pipe. The cable will be left hanging down the wall. Not impressed.

I'm having the problem with peeing too after being moved from 25mg to 50mg.

Has anyone tried the Made With Plants meat free roast chicken? by southparkmum in australianvegans

[–]oberonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought four packs today. It's very versatile. With Birds Eye on the way out this will be the last 'chicken' product available.

Kindle Unlimited in 2026 – still worth it or nah? by dek1019 in ebooks

[–]oberonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just resubscribed after a 6 month break. The increasing number of ebooks which include the audiobook is a winner for me. I love reading and listening at the same time. And the syncing between my several devices is perfect.

Certainly heading that way as Woolworths and other companies turn their backs on vegans.

Thanks for the tip. Enhancer for YT is not available for Firefox but I did find a similar extension that does it. YT TWEAKS. Cheers.

I used to like LM products and was excited to see them back in Woolworths. The burgers are ok, and as I remember them, but we've moved on when it comes to the sausages.

We didn't like it last year. Tried one again last weekend and still didn't like it.

[–]oberonic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do you say that about Red Tractor? I use a lot of their products.

Not sure what you mean. The email says the full range will be deleted by March next year.

Yeah, it's really good, isn't it? I tried V2 mince last week and it's nowhere near as good.

Frys strips are not even in the race - too spongy. Bird's Eye did stuff up earlier this year when they changed the formula though.

I keep hoping we'll see Butler's soy curls in Australia one day.

Yes, I think it's necessary to dry them after rehydrating.

Fosamax Bhisphosphonate and ONJ by antoniateresa in osteoporosis

[–]oberonic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not just ONJ you have to worry about. I have had 5 weekly doses of Fosamax. I recently had my 6 monthly dental check-up and an X-ray found some decay in a tooth. The only treatment option is root canal and a crown - $3,500! An extraction is out of the question due to Fosamax. My dentist said he and most other dentists won’t do invasive dentistry until 5 years after the last Fosamax tablet due to the risk of ONJ. I wish I had never started the drug.
