Genuinely curious about the downvotes on this?
Something I've been wanting to work on is repairing old analogue electronics and putting those to use, like VCRs and the likes. While I totally get why we've moved on from older formats like VHS, I feel tossing that generation of electronics aside when they still work perfectly fine is a bit of an injustice considering how durable a lot of those were made.
Something that's especially stood out is the old CED format. Have never seen a player despite having seen the discs out and about sometimes, and the ones online never seem to be in working condition.
For chickpeas, I'm fairly certain they sell them in 11 kg bags at store I visit.
Right, thanks for noting that. I remember working in grocery they'd often receive product in plastic wrap to keep it stable on the skids.
Mind you with my experience in the back of the store, while I never worked receiving, I'm fairly certain both the canned and dried beans both arrived to the store the same way, as it was usually an assortment of boxes rather than a skid purely of one product unless it was a feature or display.
Would you say this would likely still be the case if it was domestic? For reference if it helps I'm in Canada, and I can't say I know where exactly in the country the beans I buy are grown and canned. Could be in Ontario for all I know which is essentially across the country for me.
I would probably call myself a purist. Then again, I think that's fairly easy for me since off hand, the biggest source of waste I can think of in my case is likely food waste currently, and I'm trying to improve on that since I'm relatively new to regular home cooking, and am in the middle of a major diet change.
Worst case scenario if the recycling of the cans does have considerable emissions, I could also probably purchase carbon offsets, mind you I need to read more about those and how they work and that would be for when I'm in a better financial situation.
There are, but I'm in a unique situation with program I'm in where I'm only able to shop at a certain grocer as I currently get gift cards to assist with grocery shopping.
Would these be similar to the packages for rice you find at the store? I've heard about people bringing their own stuff to the bulk section, but I wouldn't have a clue if that's allowed where I live since I've only recently learned that that's something people do. Growing up I don't my family used the bulk section of the store so much as once.
Sorry, I should have made it clear. Yes they appear to be a non-recyclable plastic package for the brands sold at the grocers I visit.
I'm new to being vegan, so feel free to take my opinion with a grain of salt.
I made a little bit of a controversial post asking how to be a "good vegan" probably a week or so back, and the replies I got were a bit interesting, and it has me thinking about how to approach this. I saw people saying not to claim "moral superiority" which I understand people can get frustrated by if it were to happen, but at the same time, it's like, with the reasons I chose to go vegan, I'm taking my personal beliefs and bringing them to their logical endpoint to maintain consistency best I can, and I feel it's fair not to feel "above" others, but rather feel more altruistic, as you're being more selfless in not wanting animals to die for your personal welfare when that can be achieved otherwise.
That small rant out of the way, I find it hard it hard to engage with people regarding myself and veganism, cause on the one hand, I want to mention it where necessary, but on the other, I want to avoid coming across as inserting that fact about myself into every conversation.
However, if I were to approach things, I would personally avoid talking about animal welfare and more about the other benefits of a vegan diet. That might get me scolded, but the reality of the fact is that people know how their food is made and what it entails, but don't want to be greeted with the graphic imagery that comes with that reality, and I think that's fair cause it's almost natural instinct to avoid that imagery. Sure, words don't do justice to what happens to these animals, but while graphic imagery may help some to make the swap, that approach doesn't work with everyone. My father showing me how hotdogs were made and us having them for years afterwards comes to mind.
Instead, talking about other benefits would likely sway more people over, and likely avoid the tiresome back-and-forth that vegans have with staunch defenders of meat. Whereas animal welfare can be seen as a more "abstract" issue (unfortunate as that is), talking about the health benefits, environmental impact, and economics of a vegan diet would likely sell more people over as it would defeat the skewed perception of vegans as the people who show graphic imagery to people in public and base their thoughts in emotions, and instead showcase them as people rooted in rational thought and absolute facts as those aspects can be backed up more with inarguable points backed by studies and paper evidence.
Anyway that's my TED talk, hope my thoughts aren't too misaligned with the general community.
I know this is a really late reply, and I'm not sure if you ever found things out, but there is a store here in Calgary called Knifewear that's run by the same people who own the Kent of Inglewood shave shops.
Seems they specialize in Japanese knives, but seems they do ship with Canada Post, though that's likely currently affected by the current strike happening: https://knifewear.com/
Hi all,
I've been in a weird spot the last little bit. I recently bought an air-fryer at the thrift shop for a decently cheap price. The thing works like a charm, and I'm excited to start using it on the regular to make recipes like falafel and beet and potato chips.
The issue I'm currently having is just cleaning the damn thing. Clearly it had a lot of use from the previous owner, and I while I want to do the same myself, there's this tough to clean spot on the base that I can't figure out how to clean.
The model is a T-Fal Actifry 2-in-1, so rather than being the typical air fryer I've seen with the basket, this one has a rotating piece in the centre that can either be used to stir ingredients to keep them from sticking using a paddle, or have a rotating pan attached instead which keeps things in place.
The area in question I'm having trouble cleaning is in the base here, behind the plastic filter:
I've tried using an all-purpose cleaner, as well as a stronger cleaner that claimed to have degreasing properties (Vim Pureboost Power Shine), and neither of them have removed any of the mess. It was suggested by someone I try baking soda and vinegar, but I'm not even going to think about that, as I'm worried about things getting behind the slots there and frying the circuitry.
Thanks in advance.

Do you think it would work as a replacement for regular cabbage in borscht? While I love sauerkraut, cabbage rolls are a bit hard for me as I'm trying to go vegan, and I can't seem to find many vegan cabbage roll recipes.
