Funny you posted this as i was only looking at one at my local motorbike dealer on Saturday
(But was no good to me as my bike doesn't have a key Fob )

Flaunt your Yamaha Smart key in style

Pretty sure you be able to them for other things off amazon or somewhere

Yeah, that’s the type.

The cheapy metal ring snapped off my ford key, so I wanted something to put on it and to attach an AirTag. All the Amazon/etsy ones look a bit pants

Once in a while I treat myself to a McPlant, today was that day.

That slice of cheese tells me it was stone cold

It'll be vegan cheese which, like most attempts of vegan food trying to imitate their real equivalents end up falling short. I'm this case it fails to melt like cheese should

Unless you have tried a mcplant, that is pure speculation. I am not a veggi or vegan but credit where due, out of all the fast food chains, the mcplant is genuinely excellent and my go-to burger if I ever step into a mcd.

People use stuff to scrub? I just use a bar of soap and shower gel as necessary.

I’ve been using it the last few days, I don’t even bother to apply shower gel on it I just use my hands as before but now scrub it in with this. Not sure if it makes any difference but I’ll persevere with it.

New practice amp -

Cool that the old manufacturer names like Orange are still in production. I bought my amp a little earlier - like, 54 years earlier. Thread title doesn't say anything about when the things were purchased, right?

funny how the mcplant has the tiniest portion of salad

The vegans have to get their irony supplement somehow.

I am not ripping the burger as I havent tried one, but can you explain why the cheese has not melted if the burger was hot?

FWIW, I have tried vegan cheese (albeit accidentally) and I only found out it was vegan cheese when it me want to vomit and the texture was just weird.... I said to the lounge I was in that their cheese might be bad (as in off) and that's when they told me it was vegan cheese and was fresh out.

Cheese takes a moment to melt, it doesn't happen right away, I literally got the burger out the bag and took a pic right away all within a min of it being ready at the counter. I don't know if it's vegan cheese or not, I don't even know what source the other ingredients are lol. I only care if it tastes good and it's the only McD burger I actually like.

Fair enough...

Yeah, I had a look and its all Vegan ingredients including "a vegan alternative to cheese"

What I found interesting, and only because I looked up the ingredients, and given that a lot of people consider Vegan alternatives to be healthier, is that the closest equivalent meat burger seems to be the McDonald Cheeseburger yet the vegan burger has 50% more calories than the meat one

https://www.mcdonalds.com/gb/en-gb/product/vegan-mcplant.html - 426kcal

https://www.mcdonalds.com/gb/en-gb/product/cheeseburger.html - 294kcal


EDIT: - I should add that the calorie bit is also not a dig, I found it interesting and that's all.

 

[mrk]

Probably because there's a difference between good calories and bad calories

Like for me calories makes zero difference, I can eat anything and never gain excess body fat so am always around the 10% mark thanks to my metabolism and training. I just eat whatever I find the tastiest and make my own 900 calories smoothies which contain mostly nutrition based ingredients rich in protein and seed based nutrients.

Yes, the captive portal popped up, filled it in as normal.

Where do you fill it in? The first device that connects? Then the rest connect as normal? I'm tempted by this little gadget, but not sure I'm the right use case for it.

Errrr….

No I’m not going to go down that rabbit hole tonight

mrk tho innit, he probably read that in a cupcake recipe in a BMW magazine and it's therefore gospel.

It doesn't melt, because it's not cheese not because it's not hot. Lack of casein iirc.

I used to BBQ for a friend and would sit wondering why the cheese would never melt in a 200c BBQ
