Do you know of any that aren’t so noisy? I love the one I have, but they do make a lot of noise

In case anyone hasn’t seen the scene

For sure! We use the this press. I like it because I can keep it in the fridge for the day while it presses for dinner, and the liquid is contained in the unit.

Hope this helps! :)

As a non-vegan who has replaced most chicken with tofu, I’d be glad to tell you some of what I’ve learned! Others can definitely chime in because I’m new to this as well and might have better suggestions:

1. Always use extra firm tofu. Since tofu naturally has a sort of eggy consistency, getting a denser product leads to a more meaty mouth feel.
2. You need a tofu press. Along with getting water out of the tofu, it helps make the tofu more dense, leading to better texture as well. I’m glad to recommend the one I use if need be :) The longer time you press it, the more dense it gets.
3. I used an air fryer recipe to start my journey to prepare it. I’ve moved on to making some of my own adjustments as well:

• in this recipe, they tell you to mix everything together into a paste and then try to fold the tofu pieces in to get them coated. I have had a better time placing the tofu pieces, oil, and soy sauce into a liquid-tight container with a lid, shaking it to coat everything in the liquid, then opening the lid and adding the drys, then closing and shaking again to coat.
• I add more seasonings like onion powder, paprika and MSG to help it taste more meaty. I’ll also add a little corn starch to help the coating be a little more crispy.

4. I use the above pieces as a 1:1 replacement for any recipes calling for chicken pieces, like pastas. I really think tofu works best in smaller pieces like this, as the mouth feel seems about the same as small chicken pieces. I do not recommend trying to use tofu the same as an entire chicken breast since the texture and taste differences will be very noticable.
5. This tofu fajitas recipe is what I used to help transition my SO and I over to eating more tofu.

Please let me know if I can provide more info!

In the United States, we have the Order of the Engineer, and we get a stainless steel ring. It traditionally goes on the pinky of whichever hand you use to write with, with the idea of it rubbing against the desk when you’re writing. It is supposed to be a reminder to only work on things you’re qualified to be working on.

Your own toilet and good toilet paper instead of the cheapest waxy one-ply 🙏 your own control over the AC/heat instead of freezing/sweating 🙏 never having to smell someone heating up fish in the microwave 🙏

I’m 100% remote and love it

Fun fact: no one has even seen the pitch actually drop - they had a camera set up to catch the ninth drop in 2014 but it fell during a server outage. You can watch a live feed of the tenth drop!

In Japan, a strip game variant of rock paper scissors is known as 野球拳 (Yakyūken). The loser of each round removes an article of clothing. The game is a minor part of porn culture in Japan and other Asian countries

Seeing all of these videos synced up, it looks like the ICE agent was partially in front of her vehicle when it started moving forward, and thus could easily have been frightened of being ran over. But lets put any other person besides this man in the same scenario. If I was in front of this car and was afraid that I was going to be ran over, my very first thought would be to get the fuck out of the way. I understand this scenario could put anyone into flight-or-fight mode and thus would make logical thinking difficult (even though I think people in this profession should be trained to think thoroughly in scenarios like this? But I digress) how is the first thought “fight” if you think this car is coming to run you over?

Edit: I phrase it this way not because I’m defending him - I’m imagining what the argument would be about “him having to make a split second decision” and it being “in self-defense” and refuting it by saying that most reasonable people could defend themselves in this situation by dodging out of the fucking way.

Wait, what happened in Chicago now?

Don’t be afraid to go to a psychiatrist (the kind of doctors who deal with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental and emotional disorders) and ask them about alternatives to perscriptions. I did that when I was frustrated with trying so many different medications and combinations of medications, and I learned about TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) and so I underwent that and it was life-changing for me.
