Real meat vs Beyond meat
  • There was a period in 2020 and into 2021 beyond meat was cheaper than ground beef.

    I am a vegetarian and do my best to avoid meat replacements, but I do miss meat balls and meatloaf. Beyond meat works well for both of those.

    Is it possible to set volume per app (Spotify and maps specifically) while using Bluetooth ?

    Firstly I am still rather new to iPhones. I have an iPhone 14 pro with the newest release version of iOS and use maps for navigation and Spotify for music over Bluetooth in my wife’s car. The onboard navigation lowers the music before giving a prompt, however with maps the volume of the music is most times louder than the directions.

    What's the history behind cam rips of movies and where have they typically came from?
  • When i worked in Baltimore oriole would walk into my shop and try and sell just about anything, i used to get a lot of these cam rips. A few were scams so i brought an extra VCR, and later a DVD player and stuck them in the back room so i could at least threaten to check before buying.

  • 4 week old flea market kitten
  • I have not yet counted, but when i look at his feet i think so. We are giving him milk substitute, and kitten food from the vet soaked with water. Doing our best to give him some bulk. This morning he had to be given water with an eye dropper, but is eating and drinking on his own again.

  • My house is known as Mr Nocturne's home for wayward animals. He is just one of our rescue animals, and all are treated very well and with much love. We just lost our 20 year old cat, and this little guy (his name is Jethro) will be filling her spot.

  • 4 week old flea market kitten

    My son was at the flea market Friday and someone had a box of kittens. He texted to ask if he could have one and while waiting for a reply he was holding one. The guy with the box walked off leaving my son and someone else with a kitten. Vet says he is 4 weeks old, not even fully weaned.

    If I have two skyrangers and 2 full squads how come i can only deal with one terror site?

    How come you cannot send out two squads at the same time? I realize i cannot fight them both at the same time, but i could do one mission and then the next and the game test it as if they both happened at the same time.

    Avocado oil is the best vegetable oil for cast iron seasoning?

    https://www.thedailymeal.com/1353224/best-oil-seasoning-cast-iron-skillet/

    > Repeatedly oiling and heating a cast-iron skillet gives it a nonstick surface due to a chemical process called polymerization. In the context of seasoning a cast-iron skillet, polymerization occurs when the oil is exposed to high temperatures, subsequently breaks down, and forms a bond with the metal. This process is more successful if the oil you use is high in unsaturated fat. There are many vegetable oils that are rich in both mono and polyunsaturated fats, but avocado oil outperforms others due to its higher smoke point.

    > The smoke point of refined or regular avocado oil falls between 500 and 520 degrees Fahrenheit. By contrast, grapeseed oil, a more commonly recommended seasoning oil, is 420 degrees Fahrenheit. That's high, but it's still significantly lower than the smoke point of unrefined or extra virgin avocado oil, which is 482 degrees. 

    > A higher smoke point causes polymerization to occur at a much slower rate, which is precisely what yields a more solid nonstick coating. As a result, your cast iron will stay seasoned for far longer.

    I have always used peanut or vegetable oil on my cast iron.

    Is there a setting for GoodNotes (on iOS) to always open with tabs instead of needing to choose a document?

    Sometimes when I open GoodNotes the tab screen closes and it goes to the document screen, but when I open a file all of my tabs are still open. Is there a way I can always have the tabs open? Or go from the documents to the tabs without having to open a document?

    ETA: This is mostly regarding GoodNotes on iPad.

    [D4] Season 1 bug? I have claimed multiple tortured gifts without receiving credit

    I am on Chapter 5 of Season 1 and am almost done, but cannot get credit for opening a tortured gift for boon in the tide. Today alone I claimed 3 in tier 3 and 1 in tier 4.

    I collected enough for a mystery gift, but was unable to find one in time so I had to settle for a smaller one.

    Has anyone else had this happen? Any luck with it?

    Pasta e Fagioli

    I know the picture is not the best, but this is a great soup and a very quick to cook dish. Growing up we ate this while visiting my Sicilian grandfather and it was always served with lots of fresh ground black pepper. Please note that this can easily get too salty, i use low sodium organic better than vegetable bullion which is low in sodium, but depending on the beans you use they may have a lot of sodium as well.

    Ingredients:

    4 sprigs fresh thyme 1 large sprig fresh rosemary 1 bay leaf 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon butter 1 cup chopped onion 2 teaspoons minced garlic 5 3/4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth 2 (14.5-ounce) cans white (navy or cannellini) beans, drained and rinsed 4oz of Fidel or other small pasta Freshly ground black pepper Pinch red pepper flakes, optional 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

    Directions:

    Wrap the thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf in a piece of cheesecloth and secure closed with kitchen twine. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, and garlic and saute until the onion is tender, about 3 minutes. Add the broth, beans, and sachet of herbs. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat, then decrease the heat to medium and simmer until the vegetables are very tender, about 10 minutes. Discard the sachet. Puree 1 cup of the bean mixture in a blender until smooth*. Before putting the puree back into the soup, add the fideo and boil with the lid on until it is tender but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Return the puree to the remaining soup in the saucepan and stir well. Season the soup with ground black pepper and red pepper flakes.

    Ladle the soup into bowls. Sprinkle with some Parmesan and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil just before serving.

    *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

    iPhone 14 opens Apple Music instead of Spotify when connecting to car Bluetooth

    When my iPhone 14 connects to my wife’s car Bluetooth (2015 Toyota Highlander) it starts playing Apple Music (I only have one song in it) how do I get it to open Spotify instead? I have a Shortcut setup for Spotify to run when connected but it does not actually run, it just gives a notification that there is a shortcut for it.
