Since you guys like nature & garden-y stuff from time to time, last night me and my fiance took about 90 kilos of apples from her moms allotment to a juicer and made a bout 40 liters of juice.



We pasteurized the majority of it and put it in 10 liter kegs, though we also got these plastic bags and paper boxes to put them in:



Also left some unpasteurized but all that has to be frozen or drunk within days, or fermented into cider.

I have to say I hope I age as well as the guy who owns the juicer place, he was over 80 when we first started going there around 2013 or so and he's still going, taller than me (I'm 6'2") and he lifts these heavy rear end bags like it's nothing onto the scale when we get there.

ooph those apples look delectable and i don't even like apples. almost a pity to press them for juice

They do, but appearances can deceive. One of the tastiest apples in the world looks unappetizing in general:

But the taste is wonderful. Particularly Gravenstein apple juice or cider is just extremely good. If you can get your hands on any, do.

Did anyone read the Hansard transcript from the last session of the HoL yesterday? I wouldn't normally touch it but I was bored af at work and saw it linked on twitter. It's quite amusing because it just seemed that they spent about half an hour dunking on what a pointless amendment the Kinnock amendment was and what an idiot him and the other backers were for not putting up tellers.

It will never cease to amaze me at how poo poo these people (liberals) are at politics.

They're people who have grown up and gotten experience thinking it's good to compromise for compromise's sake and have forgotten that there are cases where, actually, one (or both) sides of an argument are flat-out wrong or irrelevant.

Got the attached letter through my door this morning.

Am I being cynical or is this a slightly dodgy way of a Tory MP getting a letter through my door, presumably using government funds as opposed to partys, when an election is probably imminent? I’ve never had any correspondence from him (as an MP, obviously had Tory electioneering leaflets) and aren’t on his mailing list. Some of my friends have got it, some haven’t, so not sure if it’s been given to everyone in the constituency. Addressed to me by name though..

It’s a Tory extreme marginal (majority 148 lol) which they gained from the SNP in 2017. And will be giving back, presumably.

That except really frightened me. I already feel pressured enough to make enough money to live but that looks like a society in which you will be pressured to meet any number of unfair standards to be "well rounded". It's bad enough that I am apparently the only person in my social circle that doesn't exercise beyond walking (isn't that enough?), can you imagine having your entire non work activities judged by society?

Absolutely. This is a sure fire way to make Corbyn look like the adult in the room when Johnson starts bumbling. Sure, his bluster might work on a few gammons but the liberals will flock to Corbs.

Even if the tories come out with decent policies boris doesn't have the ability to deliver them that doesn't sound loving stupid.

Like ONE debate I can see him maybe doing OK through bluster and aggression but if he keeps just doing that constantly I think it's gonna just look weird.

Haven't heard of this before: Help to Save

https://www.gov.uk/get-help-savings-low-income

That's an amazing return on investment: 50% a year :stare: The jist is that if you're a poor you can get £1200 over 4 years if you can squirrel away £50 a month, or you can squirrel away less but get less in the end (still 50% though) - all savings backed by the government. Seems like a pretty good redistributionist policy to me.

There is a slight catch though - if you and a partner both have one and collectively exceed £6k, whoops you're no longer eligible for universal credit. But that's a flaw (one of many) with universal credit rather than this scheme, which seems like a very good idea to me

Getting laid is something you consent to doing with another human being because you both want to gently caress each other, it's not an essential human right

I don't wanna do the hilary will totally beat trump by being the better person thing but like, boris is leading an unpopular government, transparently shat the bed last week, and I just don't think he can pull off the same thing. He doesn't project strength of the air or being an outsider, he's been a prominent tory politician for a long time now and I genuinely think he's just gonna look incompetent against someone actually putting forward ideas that have not been on the table in british politics for a long time, if ever.

Not saying it is my right. In fact I find myself caring less and less.

The latter is my point. Call me cynical but I have come to believe that the vast majority of people don't want equality outside of a few blessed souls. People will always want some criteria to judge against. What I dreamed of is a world in which no action that doesn't hurt others is judged. But I fear it's biologically impossible. Humans will exclude, oppress and shun to the end of time. Maybe that's why I am such an empty shell. I want to live a life that cannot be judged.

Unlike the stench of the perfidious norseman, the natural masculine musk of the anglo saxon is actually intrinsically appealing to the feminine psyche, the only reason they do not appreciate it is because of the cultural marxist notion of so called "personal hygiene" which is in fact a plot to weaken the indigenous culture of the english, such as boiling lots of vegetables in a pot, and trying to stop the midlands from turning back into a swamp.
