Guavanaut posted:Yeah, it's unknown why he decided to add a NI specific SSM amendment to the bill, but it's only going to make it less likely to pass, whether that's the DUP personally nixing it or them leaning on the Tories or others against legislating without consent to vote it down. Eh the Supreme Court ruled in favour in the Civil Partnership issue largely because a legitimate aim for the discriminatory system could not be shown (the government argued they needed more time to review the issue which the court ruled was insufficient to justify discrimination) - ECHR case law has generally held that in matters of same sex marriage states have a wide margin of appreciation and that preserving traditional marriage is a legitimate aim in so far that it is not against the convention in situations where civil partnerships are available. It's possible the supreme court may decide that such an aim is no longer legitimate when weighing the issue up (which they are expected to do sometime this year) but I'm not overly confident. But then again I was a bit surprised by the breadth of their ruling on abortion so I could be entirely wrong.

Absolutely random question that I only ask as a few here have mentioned making their own bread, and I can't think of the right way of feeding the question to Google. If I make some dough tonight, it's fine to leave it to prove overnight (as long as it's loosely covered) and cook it in the morning, right?

Depends a lot on the type of yeast and flour. If you normally let it rise for a few hours, you might be better covering and leaving in the fridge so it rises more slowly. Slow rises make lovely bread with a nice crumb

Slow rises make lovely bread with a nice crumb Yeah it's just bog-standard strong white flour and packet yeast, nothing artisinal going on here. Fridge is a good idea, I'll give it a go (and as I'll also be making a few more loaves my normal way tomorrow it'll give an interesting comparison).

Fridge is a good idea, I'll give it a go (and as I'll also be making a few more loaves my normal way tomorrow it'll give an interesting comparison). It depends on how much yeast/sugar/salt and moisture content it has. If it’s a recipe meant for only a short proving the. There’s a chance that if you leave it overnight the yeast will exhaust its food source and you won’t get much of a rise when you bake. You can slow the action of the yeast by putting it in the fridge or adding more salt. Fridge is easier. Unfortunately. I know enough to know this but I can’t give you specific advice on ratios for the ingredients.

JeremoudCorbynejad posted:Deliberately excluding a foreign visitor from conversation is a dick move tbh. FYI this almost literally never happens. Anglos just have their brains wired wrong where if they hear someone speaking differently to them, accent or language, and they haven't mentally prepared themselves, they'll react as though they're under attack (having survived the Blitz, you see). They realise its silly and that they have made a fool of themselves and the only way they can explain away that sense of alienation, the only way they can ever recover from such a traumatic experience, is to pin the blame firmly on the aliens around him (The proud Anglo-Saxon is never an alien regardless of where he may be). If most people in a town or a village can speak Welsh, they generally do. Welsh in school, welsh in pubs, welsh in shops and at work etc etc People don't switch to their native tongue just to be a dick*. They were speaking it anyway. *Unless you see Baron Gammon von Saxonpants walking down the street, that's like the only exception though.

If you're doing a no-knead dough I don't think you want to fridge it because you need the extra rising to do all the gluten work. If you've got a stand mixer than sure fridge it https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2011/06/better-no-knead-bread-recipe.html

Which I wouldn't have done anyway, much less considering I was parked up at the KFC in Havant and about to pick up dinner

Saith posted:FYI this almost literally never happens. lol I remember this happening to me at a petrol station in Dorset (not helped by wearing a crash helmet and ear plugs) where I was convinced the guy in front of me in the queue and the woman behind the counter were talking in Dutch or German, but they were just speaking normally with a very slight local accent but for some reason my brain just went "Nah, that's foreign that is" and kept pulling out words that sort of sounded a bit like the very few words I know in either language. The spell remained even when I went to pay for my petrol until the woman said "Nice day for it" or something similar and my brain went "Wait that's English!". Only tangentially related but I do love hearing people "code switching", where they have two (or more) mutually intelligible languages in common so switch between them as needed - my all time favourite was on the day after Lutfur Rahman got convicted hearing two guys speaking in Bengali until one of them solemnly declared "Very dodgy bastard", and the other nodded slowly and repeated "Very dodgy bastard".

Does any UKMT D&D nerd want a copy of Tomb of Annihiliation for 5e? The pages are badly trimmed and it’s printed upside-down inside the cover, but it’s perfectly readable. You would have to give your address to me, an Internet rando who could be a murderer for all you know. Did your mother not teach you not to talk to strangers?

I once spent the vast majority of a train ride from Exeter to Birmingham trying to work out what language the group of girls at the table opposite me was speaking before it dawned on me that they were just very Scottish.
