My main point is that this has none of the macros of a hotdog so it hits differently than a hotdog. I am on tofu and chickpeas these days and I’m not really disputing the possibility of getting protein on a vegan diet, tofu and seitan are very under-rated by bro fitness chicken-and-rice guys. Those foods are pretty high in carbs compared to lean meat or non-fatty fish, I now have to eat a lot less stuff like bread and rice that’s only carbs now. Compared to fatty meat like a hotdog, those replace the fat with complex plant carb which is probably better for you, but is a struggle to adjust to.

When I ate hotdogs I could eat like 3 and be good for a while if that was my lunch. I don’t see myself eating 3 carrot-dogs and being good for a while.

A lot of people have surprisingly bad diets, I know too many people who don’t really eat vegetables. When a typical meat-eater thinks about going vegan, they imagine eating a giant carrot replacing their giant slab of meat, and this is why people come in and say these things. I understand that point of view on this as someone who struggles with switching, and a recipe that tries to emulate the flavour profile and form of a hotdog but not the having the actual stuff that makes you feel like you ate a hotdog 10 minutes ago is a confusing thing for a non-vegan.

There’s no real point to the original commenter, and there’s no real point to my comment. Other than me understanding where the other person comes from.

Well nutritionally instead of being half fat, half protein, and a ton of preservatives that are probably bad for you, it’s all complex-ish carbs and fibre.

Stuff like this ‘hot dog’ is where the “how do you even protein as a vegan bro” stuff comes about. Idk how you ‘fix’ that, maybe keto hotdog buns, and turning it into a bean chilli “dog”?

It sucks that you can’t just go all in on vegan direct replacements because the nutrition is so different and you won’t be full changing the macros of your meals overnight. If you had a terrible diet eating nothing but hotdogs and changed to this you’d feel hungry.

The whole building meals around a meat protein, and then having a bunch of other stuff diet is hard to break, and this sort of recipe is easy to give the impression that vegans are always hungry because it’s so foreign.

I notice that I have to add a lot more fat to my meals to balance them because vegan protein comes with a lot more carbs, unlike animal protein which comes with fat by default.

Italians eat meatballs with roast potatoes, which makes more sense if you think of it like Italian meatloaf

They were right, they are an untrustworthy seller.

Reminds me of when all their customer data leaked, and obviously the people who pirated didn’t have that issue.

This is actually a bigger deal than the headline suggests if the claims are to be believed. Hopefully the licensing isn’t too expensive for it to be widely adopted if manufacturing at scale is easy.

They don’t say how it degrades in water, but if it can degrade in ~2months outdoors then that’s actually pretty good.

Most biodegradable eco-plastic is a scam because it’s either only partially degradable, or only degradable in industrial facilities. If I can throw this packaging in my own compost bin then that would be a huge way to get rid of single-use plastic.

If you’re a convenience store but pallets of Coca Cola, then they kind-of can. They can just blacklist you from buying Coca Cola in the foreign country.

It’s also different because they’re selling you continuous access one month at a time instead of a physical good you drink and they can’t take away from you. I’ve been to places where service costs are lower for locals than for tourists, and this is told to you outright. Stuff like museums, taxis, etc. It’s a similar idea YouTube has.

Prices are also almost never based on cost, they’re based on what people will pay.

I live in Canada, and cars are more expensive here than in the USA. US dealerships near the border refuse to sell new cars to Canadians, even though it’s legal for everyone as long as you make sure to pay duties on the way back. I’m guessing each brand has some rule against it.

Ultimately VPN users aren’t a protected class so it’s legal to discriminate.

There is some problem with that as you say, but the company doing the poll is pretty well-respected by the west. They were also labelled a foreign agent by Putin at some point, so I looked at their opinion.

This is an interesting op-ed by the guy who runs the polling company, talking about preference falsification.

There’s an estimate that <10% of people in Russia have motive to lie because of power they’d lose if their opinion got out, and the theory is that this is usually constant. Unless Putin is scarier than 2 years ago you can still compare differences in opinion, even if you don’t trust the magnitude. The guy also said that you can look at the positive responses as having a share of neutral because people who aren’t informed just go with the majority instead of saying “idk”.

But no matter how much lying in polls there is, the amount of people worried about sanctions went down compared to 2 years ago, and compared to 2015.

Which makes sense considering how much physical capital western companies left in Russia, since VW can’t take an auto factory back to Germany with them even if they can take some equipment (but not all).

In Canada you have to pay extra for a 5G plan even if you have a 5G phone. And grandfathered plans/plans you’ve been on for a while keep the low speeds.

I had a super cheap prepaid plan with 3g speeds until I switched last month because I was on it for so long.

Some prepaid plans here just cut you off data completely unless you prepay for your overage. Others let you go over and charge you like $5 per 200mb over (ridiculous).

There are post-paid monthly plans that don’t do overage charges, but they throttle you so much it’s not really useful.

Edit: just checked, for 50 CAD (around 40 USD) you can get 100GB of 5G a month prepaid, for a plan that gives you complete US coverage as well.

That seems like a pretty bad deal actually, you can probably find a better 4g or even 5g plan in the US for that.

Prepaid companies in Canada (who generally have worse pricing than the US because all the cell companies have agreements with each other) have 20-40gb/month for that price (depending on the limited time sales), but not unlimited w/ throttling like you have.

Now that you mention it, I see your point. The Southern cross is probably worse for being a symbol of the explorers who discovered land to be colonized than for the cross itself IMO.

Meanwhile the Nordic countries have sideways crosses because one of them started it since they had a king see a cross or something in a battle, and then they copied each other’s homework. The king didn’t even meet Jesus, he just hallucinated a cross. If you met the guy then at least that’s a story. That’s like putting Elvis on your flag because you saw him in a potato chip.

I’m surprised Arch is that high compared to other distros.

Also interesting that people are actually switching to windows 11, everyone I know is staying on win10 as long as possible because they’re more used to the interface.

Also mushrooms are neither plants nor animals, but they’re culinary vegetables which is fine

Alternate title: Has drop-shipping gone too far?

If the wood wasn’t sealed/finished a blind person would probably end up with a splinter

Can you not do something with gparted on a live usb? Or are the files that fucked?

naps2 for printer/scanners. Better than anything I’ve used for scanning. Also great for arranging small documents.

• lets you rearrange page order easily before saving the scan as a pdf
• has OCR
• lets you import documents into the pdf so you can layer scanned notes/typed documents easily into a single doc
• quick interface

Software that comes with printer/scanners usually suck

Probably depends on who runs the franchise, I think a lot of places are hit or miss.

Church’s and Popeye’s are better I think. My grocery store just re-fries frozen chicken, it used to make their own that was pretty good.

I’ve kind of wanted to buy MarionK 99X spice mix which is the original KFC spice mix (they got it from his wife or something), but it’s meant for restaurants so you can only buy 2kg bags.

Little Caesars is good for the price. Sauce is decent, crazy bread is great, very greasy so it’s a good pairing with a stronger-tasting non-lite beer.

It’s hard to eat it without feeling like shit after but I have no complaints. Mom+pop pizza+wing places are better but way more expensive.

Don’t fix what’s not broke.

All the other animals are copying them anyways with carcinisation, meanwhile they already figured it out.

Android games are different because old ones use currently unsupported libraries, and you’re not supposed to run old versions of android. That’s more a problem with how Google thinks android has to work.

PC games and PlayStation store games don’t really make sense to de-list like this because win10 is very backwards-compatible with software, and PS4/PS5 games that are released and work don’t need any upkeep.
