The more interesting question is how you got malnourished in the first place.

Featured Creature posted:Ok so what's the best way to recover from malnurishment? A Combo of drinking too much then when I stopped I got flu like symptoms (coughing fever etc). I didn't eat for a few days and survived off of coconut want and have just today been able to hold down rice with an egg on top. The woman that's been taking care of me after work and going over homework with her kid suggested ensure. I am no longer dehydrated but I took a shower today and got really light headed. You're hydrated (sort of), but probably need a few calories. GO SLOW. This is probably not the time to go gorge and feel even more sick. Get some fruit into yourself, and other easily digestible things. Congee is great, soup is really great, as is any kind of smoothie that you like. By the end of a day or so, you'll feel your strength coming back, at which point you can start eating normally again.

Yeah I'd start with beer or bovril and then go from there. Probably bread with butter. And a good smoke, as well.

Dane posted:I think they're Faeroese, so they might be singing Danish with a weird accent. The song is a Danish folk song from the 1600s, Ramund the Younger. Admittedly, "Danish with a weird accent" is also a fair description of Norwegian.

Not to interrupt these moments of cultural sensitivity training with a religionormative cultural tradition, but did y'all want to do the Secret Santa thing again this year? I know the international contingent wanted more time to prepare/mail their packages last year, so I was thinking this time I'd begin signups soon and have assignments out by mid-November.

Attention Vegetarians and Vegans: I need some input. The woman and I are putting together a food business. We might eventually get a food truck, but short term she'll be making food in the mornings at my buddy's pizza shop, and then wholesaling them to the various places she has worked (they all want her food, but due to her recent joint replacement, she wont' be able to hold down a full time job for a while). Anyway, we are going for an All Can Eat menu, with meat, vegetarian, and vegan food. We want to use a consistent set of symbols to identify every item, so that people can be assured of what they are getting. I was planning on using a letter "V" for vegetarian, and a little heart symbol for vegan (one of the vegan logos is a heart with a "V" in it). Now the GF wants to use the "V" for Vegan, and make a new symbol for Vegetarian. What do you guys think?

Squashy Nipples posted:Attention Vegetarians and Vegans: I need some input. VT for vegetarian, V for vegan? Since the letter T doesn't occur in "vegan." How about symbols? An egg & broccoli for vegetarian, a broccoli & turnip for vegan, a steak for omnivores, or something along those lines.

^^^Hmmmm good suggestions, but they need to recognizable as small as 3/8" round.Happy Hat posted:It would be a bit too indiscernible to me..

"card"? that seems an unusual usage, not sure what you mean by that. Not going to use O for meat; going to use letters to tell you what kind of meat, so we can accommodate both Indians (no beef) and kosher/halal (no pork). Just going to use B for beef, P for pork, F for fish.

Since there are so many different flavors of vegetarian, why not just have a bunch of little icons for what's in the food. Cow - Beef Chicken - Poultry Pig - Pork Egg - Egg Fish - Fish Milk bottle - Dairy Bee - Honey Peanut - Peanut, nut, and tree nut catch all Grain - Evil Gluten And so forth

Safety Dance posted:why not just have a bunch of little icons for what's in the food Good idea, we might do that on the menu. But this is for the pie mold, which has a removable insert where you can put ONE number or letter. I'm going to have get the symbol custom machined. Here is sort of what it looks like, this isn't the one I ordered:

Vegan = W because it's twice as vegetarian (VV)

I agree. Ideally I think two V's would be clearer than a W, but if there's only room for one letter, a W could do.

M for Meatless, V for Vegan?

One thing I've seen is a V for vegan food, an L for vegetarian food containing dairy, and an O for the same containing eggs. Or an LO for the appropriate item. Make sure there's a key at the bottom.

Outside of The Swedish Chef, I don't know what that sounds like... the one Swedish person I knew from grad school spoke perfect, un-accented English. GrAviTy84 posted:V for vegetarian This was my exact thinking when I picked the heart for Vegan. Get out of my head. AllTerrineVehicle posted:M for Meatless, V for Vegan? After querying a lot of Vegans, they all said that they would assume that "V" meant vegan, not vegetarian, so you are correct. However, while I personally like your suggestions, "Meatless" is a poor choice, because you are defining how they eat as a negative. Besides, according to Erikson, the unconscious mind doesn't process negatives (this is a trick used in hypnosis). http://www.ericksonian.com/negative-commandssuggestions Mr. Wiggles posted:One thing I've seen is a V for vegan food, an L for vegetarian food containing dairy, and an O for the same containing eggs. Or an LO for the appropriate item. Yeah, it's going to have to be some variation on this... I can buy an "O" or an "L" for $25 each, or I can get something custom made that crams the two together.

I've got a degree in psychology and this is that magical kind of snake oil where it's almost technically right for certain situations, but it's making poo poo up because it has something to sell, and it sure ain't a peer-reviewed paper about the subject.

Oh please. I don't buy all of that hook-line-and-sinker, nor do I think of it as hard science. But the negative thing is pretty obvious: ever tell a child not to do something? Whether they do it or not, all they can think about is doing it.
