I had edited to note that, funny that Joe then deleted MY post. But yeah, this forum is unrestricted so people can post if they have forum issues.

As Jose said at NeXXt... "Sqqqqqeaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllll"

Carbs blow syphillitic donkeys.

That is fucked. I had to try hard to get under 40. The only time I saw 25-ish was doing a top speed run for something like 15 minutes, then 145 for a while longer. I can't remember whether the XX has an air temp sensor in the airbox too, and what that could do if it was bad.

An example of this fuckery: I was looking at various oat crunch blends, to top off coconut yogurt. So good. I'm looking at an option that says something like naturally flavored and sweetened with oats and berries. "Sugar" is not on the label. Ingredients are oats, rice syrup, berries....wait a minute. What is rice syrup? Pure worthless sugar. It's just sugar. On top of that, rice sugar has a much higher risk of arsenic contamination than cane sugar.

Worked for Amazon. Tangent: Gas stations are experimenting with variable pricing by the minute based on who comes in when; workers versus business people hours. The cooler doors are LCD screens, not clear, with pricing changing as needed.

Hah, yeah, like winding your own coil. I suppose that's much easier than building your own ABS module.

How quickly we forget the adventure of having points/condensor fail randomly in the middle of the night or water getting into the cracked piece of shit distributor cap... Then you get your old five-cell Maglight and try to balance it on the fender while trying to avoid it shorting out the battery. You're five minutes into finding your sandpaper and some cleaner when the light goes dim....dimmer...oh no. Now you use your remaining battery life to find more batteries in the trunk, where you find them rusty from the leak in those shitty 70s seals. You use the sandpaper to clean them just in time to get your light back. Clean the points, and nothing. Oh, is the condenser shorted, is the cap bridging? Did the coil just randomly fry? Good times.

Wait, am I reading it right, yogurt added to the oats? Huh. We've switched to coconut and other nut-based yogurts, with lower sugar and lower junk. They are good. Often better tasting and creamier. Moriah has some dairy challenges, and there's decent evidence that dairy isn't great all around, so why not.

Pure dehydrated berries go great in oatmeal, such as cranberries. Agreed on nuts. Flax seeds too, that's Moriah's favorite. Small amounts of honey go a long way. Buckwheat groats are almost always in my oats, about 50/50. Now I know what I'm getting when my bag of oats is finished.

The more you process them, the higher the glycemic index climbs (I've read the study results on this), the higher the calorie count for a given volume, and the lower the fiber. There's a smaller difference between steel cut and rolled, than there is to the more-processed variety. I don't think it's a HUGE problem, but if I'm making the effort I might as well go with the best. I also prefer the more meaty texture versus the softer and smoother rolled version. I don't have any opinion or knowledge on "stays with you," but I've been told the opposite of that. I just don't know. "Kinda junky" may have been a poor choice of words. "Less than ideal." Oh, also, for travel, you an always just put them in a liquid of your choice, say...oat milk, keep in the fridge, and then take it with you. Use some sort of closable container you can drink from, easy. If you use a non-dairy milk there's no danger of spoilage in the short term. Coconut-based milk is the longest-lasting as it's aseptic. It's even sold on the shelf, not the fridge. Steel-Cut Oats Also known as Irish oatmeal, steel-cut oats are most closely related to the original, unprocessed oat groat. To produce steel-cut oats, the groats are chopped into pieces with large steel blades. Steel cut oats have a coarser, chewier texture and nuttier flavor than rolled or quick oats. They also take longer to prepare, with average cooking times varying 15–30 minutes. However, you can soak steel-cut oats beforehand to reduce the cooking time. Rolled Oats Rolled oats, or old-fashioned oats, are oat groats that have gone through a steaming and flattening process. They have a milder flavor and softer texture and take much less time to make than steel-cut oats, as they have been partially cooked. A bowl of rolled oats takes 2–5 minutes to prepare. Rolled oats can also be added to goods like cookies, cakes, muffins and bread. Quick Oats Quick oats or quick-cooking oats are rolled oats that go through further processing to decrease cooking time. They’re partially cooked by steaming and then rolled even thinner than old-fashioned oats. They cook within a few minutes, have a mild flavor and soft, mushy texture. Quick oats are not the same as instant, packaged oats that sometimes contain other ingredients like skim milk powder, sugar and flavoring.

I'm always happy when a friend decides to use food as medicine instead of drugs and surgery. I've been eating mostly whole plants for around six years I think. It's had great benefits. Simple "snack" or "go" ideas: Nuts. High calorie, so be careful, but a good whole food that provides good energy and great nutrition. Peanuts are so so, others are higher in nutrition. As Mike said though they are often modified with shit. I buy mostly raw and unsalted. You can find many options without oil. Same with dried fruits, but you have to look at the ingredients. As Mike said, Hummus, but try to make it. The store stuff is at best full of zero-nutrition oil, and often other junk. Garbanzo beans/chickpeas (you know the difference?), lemon juice, tahini, very little salt, paprika, cumin, garlic. Blend. Reserve the bean water and add it back in to maintain consistency while blending. "Hummus" can also be anything. I make a Mexican one with black beans, onions and Mexican spices, to eat with air-fried pure corn tortillas. Sounds and feels like junk food, but if you make your own chips, it's still real whole food. Find some real-food tortillas and just put beans, avocado/guac, and hot sauce in them. Great instant meal. Sam's Club sells whole wheat and flax tortillas that are tasty, and mostly whole food, fairly low calorie. I use these for a quick burrito that's tasty. Purple Carrot and a few other makers of real whole food are now selling microwavable frozen meals. Even Fry's (Kroger) has seen the writing on the wall with more and more people demanding food instead of processed shit, and there are many options. I often make a large portion of a bean stew, put it in disposable restaurant to-go tubs, and refrigerate or freeze it. I can take it anywhere, like camping, or a job site. Get creative, look up recipes, whatever works for you. Beans, onions, broth, and whatever other things go with the theme. It can be basic American, Cuban, Mexican, African. Add giant white corn, or barley (see my oat comments below), or other grains, potatoes, whatever. Keep in mind that food package fronts lie, the truth is on the back. "Made with 100% whole fruit!" Yeah, made WITH, before they added sugar, salt, and oil. It's so fucked up. I believe that standard oatmeal is kinda junky. They've stripped the nutrition layer off to make it cook fast. I'd look for steel cut buckwheat and oats, which still have this left on. It cooks fast in the Instant Pot, and probably 45 minutes on the stove (guessing, I use the IP to make it). Oats and buckwheat don't have to be sweet. You can make a tasty curry or other spicy meal with them.

BUT IT'S ON SALE!!!

Amazon sells Amazon returns, so WTF? Same shit? Somehow different shit? I've had about 80% success with Amazon returns, luckily they give you no problem returning bad stuff. I got a quadcopter with obvious crash damage, so I was worried they'd blame me. Nope, no problem. I did want the address of the guy who crashed and returned it as I had a lot of dogshit to mail to him.

Not that I'm aware of, at least historically. Woot started by selling ONE brand new product per day. Are they different now that Amazon bought them? I haven't bothered to look at them in years. Secondipity has many products all the time, and just a few of each individual item.

There's no chance I'd carry a purse that ugly, LOL. You should see my beautiful laptop case.

I don't get it. I can't come up with the problem it solves. In AZ we can just open carry, with the tactical advantages that provides, or do partial concealment or whatever we want. And I don't carry a purse, in fact I hate having things in my hand. So...just don't get it. Your thoughts?

How about a change in regulation and fewer subsidies?

Using HDR should require a license, and that is grounds for a lifetime ban.

I found this site shopping for the battery power washer I talked about in another thread. I bought it from this site because of the price. It arrived in a few days, and was clearly opened but not used. Everything was there. Couldn't tell it wasn't new other than the open and re-taped box. Home Depot, $170 Amazon, $150 Secondipity, $55

I don't recall installing any themes at all. Have a look, I can install a few if you find what you like and link to them. If it's about mobile make sure they are compatible. The hot new thing, which I have no idea why, but is popular, is "Fluent." I don't know what it is or why it's good or not, just keep hearing about it on various tech circles relative to UI design. https://invisioncommunity.com/files/category/191-dark-themes/ https://invisioncommunity.com/files/category/162-themes/

Toe out on a Jeep *may* lead to Death Wobble and lots of toe in is very stable but weird feeling. Then again, looking at a Jeep with a funny face leads to DW so who knows.

Alcohol may have been involved. Can't be smaller than mine.

LOL, well, you asked. I think you missed the obvious easy search. Hell a lot of people have no idea. Just right-click the photo, select "reverse image search" and there you are. You can also go to images.google.com to paste in image files and search them.
