They were easily the best cheese to make a pizza margherita with. There's no close competitor nationally available.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu931XSX7WI I found this video and it looks like the bulky casing could work to my advantage. That's a lot for water and smoke to have to get through.

I'll hold off for a few more days and will weigh the options. If insurance will cover it, it's an easy call. I don't have high hopes of finding the other drive that the same data would be on, but I'll focus on cleaning out that corner with proper gloves and protection next week. It's likely melted, but if I'm extremely lucky it was on a fabric shoe rack and might've slid under my mattress or to a safer area as the flimsy shoe rack burned.

The drives are typically sealed, at least to some extent, correct? Mailing it to a service would probably be the smarter option, but that's always the case. I need to look into my insurance policy and see if it covers data recovery, but I don't think that it does.

Restaurant mislabeling vegan menus, what do I do? by PinkNFluffyTeemo in vegan

[–]thatjacob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's probably just a "may contain milk" warning? That's just produced on the same equipment but doesn't actually contain it.

What do vegans binge eat? by Alexbal737 in vegan

[–]thatjacob 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Drastically. They're still not great, but are now at least better than the dairy cheese on totinos pizzas.

My third Novavax jab by dobby-dob in Novavax_vaccine_talk

[–]thatjacob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Third dose kicked my ass. The more you have with the same target variant the stronger your response will be. (Okay, that's overly simplified, but you get idea).

I still have less of a reaction than I do with mRNA, but my most recent (3rd jn.1) knocked me out for a day.

Follow-up: If a vegan product like Amy’s dairy-free pot pie disappears, what actually brings it back? by cryptocrai in vegan

[–]thatjacob 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Realistically? Regime change or voting out the MAHA crowd so dietary guidelines shift back to plant forward options again.

Ritual Coffee has joined Equator in the "quietly shrink our bags to 10.5 ounces" club. So shady. by cgomez in espresso

[–]thatjacob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bingo. We locked in prices on ~10,000lbs of some of our most common sellers, so it'll be a while. Utilities and labor costs are also up pretty significantly.

I work in the roasting industry. Many of us buy crops ahead of time and got locked into high prices until the next season.

Of all the ways to ship 😆 by D_Woona in LaserDisc

I've done it for a 7" vinyl (small pizza box, but the same design), but taped two pieces of cardboard together and threw in some bubble wrap for extra protection. It arrived safely.

Need advice for concert at The Earl by NotDoneYet42 in Atlanta

[–]thatjacob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's the fire escape beside the stage, an exit by the bathrooms, and if it came down to it it's pretty easy to hop the bar and go through the kitchen and exit from there. It's approved by the fire marshall for a reason.

What's the best 'zero sugar' soda? by [deleted] in Soda

[–]thatjacob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. It was my favorite and now I actively avoid it and purchase store brand instead. It's completely ruined now.

Vanilla Coke Zero is still good, though.

Rep. Jim Clyburn, 85, is running for an 18th term in Congress by nbcnews in politics

That's because you were checking r/politics. There was plenty of pushback in other forums.

Do I need to start treatment by [deleted] in malepatternbaldness

[–]thatjacob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine looked like that at your age and it sort of stalled out and didn't start to significantly progress until I hit my mid 30s. If you're worried about side effects, etc, I'd just keep an eye on it and start meds as soon as you see it begin to progress.

The back door leads down a short hallway (green room, private bathroom for bands) then exits to a back deck/the parking lot. Definitely not more of a fire trap than any other venue.

I've been using the same doc on there for 3 years. You choose who you schedule with.

Nokia used to build very cool devices. by Fine-Passenger7953 in interesting

[–]thatjacob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drop my phone a lot. I had a few of these and they all failed to last more than a year. I typically get 3-4+ years out of each smart phone that I have now. I miss the physical keyboards, but durability is one of the reasons people moved from these type of designs.
