Went out into contact with the public for the first time in awhile today, it was pretty orderly at waitrose with a one in, one out system and everyone was pretty good about keeping some distance- but it was half empty on the shelves and much of what was left was bullshit. Picked up a box of food from my daughter's school and it was mainly bananas but some spuds and eggs (free range even) which was nice as I couldn't get them elsewhere. Managed an asda delivery slot soon and I'm picking up a few home repair and farm bits from b&q- they are working on a click and collect only basis with much reduced options but some lumber is definitely better than no lumber After that, I'm gonna hide away and hope that I'm wrong about what the next few weeks holds. Home schooling the kids is a nice distraction at least. loving may you live in interesting times needs a punt in the peculiars imho

CancerCakes posted:I buy tins of toms by the 12 normally, generally get through that in 2 weeks. If you are a family of four that will decrease dramatically. I know it is cool to hate on the boomers but 12 tins is in no way excessive. In normal times I'll literally buy like 3 entire flats of canned whole tomatoes from Costco. poo poo goes in EVERYTHING

radmonger posted:You must be getting something very different from the rest of that article if you think it contradicts the verdict. Can you explain your reasoning? It says nothing of the sort. It says fever itself has not been shown to be harmful apart from possibly in the elderly and routine use of antipyretics to suppress fever is not supported - i.e it is a symptomatic treatment and you do not need to prescribe paracetamol or ibuprofen automatically because someone is febrile. This is completely uncontroversial and has been understood for decades. At no point does it say doing so will cause harm or worsen outcomes. It also says: "Disclaimer: the article has not been peer-reviewed; it should not replace individual clinical judgement and the sources cited should be checked. The views expressed in this commentary represent the views of the authors and not necessarily those of the host institution, the NHS, the NIHR, or the Department of Health and Social Care.

hmm, either 'can' or 'tinned' was superfluous there; I really must review more thoroughly before posting.

Technically yes, but "tinned tomatoes" describes a particular kind of tomato whereas "a can of" describes an amount. So while you don't necessarily need both you are using them in different roles in the sentence. You could just say "a can/tin of tomatoes" but it reads clearer the way you wrote it, IMO.

They've turned the rugby ground near me into a testing centre for the NHS staff and my mums beginning to panic a bit so I've been trying to calm her down. Have I got it right that you're less likely to catch the virus as long as you don't have an infected person breath/cough on you and you don't touch a surface infected with the virus and then touch your face?

It's incredibly unlikely you'll get it otherwise but you can never know if a person is infected (and should assume everyone is including yourself) or surface has been touched.

Chas McGill posted:This isn't a thing. Folk will get paid at different times depending on their company etc. A lot of rail companies get paid on a 4-weekly cycle so date moves forward every month and then one month in the year you get two pay days. Agency workers usually get paid weekly. Some companies I have worked for pay mid month (half a month in arrears and half a month in advance).

They're probably not but they probably thought they were going to. You could try doing sourdough if you can't get yeast.

So while you don't necessarily need both you are using them in different roles in the sentence. I’m going to answer the burning question here (for more information see my marmalade tutorial on twitter). Americans call putting things in tins and jars “canning”. However there is a distinction; jams and pickles in jars are just regular canning, where as putting things in tin cans is done by “pressure canning” and requires some sort of industrial scientific lab li in your garage.

I guess that makes sense if they do the boiling thing, cos I think you can do that with stuff that doesn't involve actually pickling it, and absenting that there's not really a word, and "jarring" sounds weird and is already taken.
