I’m late on this one and dank it there are no “rules” as to what can go in a pasty, that’s the actual point they were whatever was in season wrapped in pastry and then taken down the mines. /grumbles about how the gatekeeping of pasties is an added level of petty absolutely no one needs during an actual plague.

Endjinneer posted:Yes and no, respectively. The work isn't something that takes a lot of verbal back-and-forth either, so working with a colleague on the opposite side of the globe takes fairly little extra effort. but not everyone in the hotel has the ability to leave and go on a little camping trip when it rains, that's the point

Make as many chicken balti pasties as you want (and send them to me) but if a people and community are intrinsically linked to their food as part of culture preventing that from being homogenised is great.

The Question IRL posted:This is a good thread about how the Government mismanaged the ventilator situation. quote:Work on a specification for manufacturers had started on March 13. An early draft seen by the FT included a link to a YouTube video. It was a tutorial on the Manley Blease “pneumatically-powered” ventilator first designed in 1961 but which, as the narrator concludes, has been “consigned to the history books”.

I've been doing my share of the cooking at my parents and they are gobsmacked at how I am somehow 'really good at it'. I'm extremely average and my one and only secret is that I know how to use herbs and spices, lol. I do not understand how people can get this far in life without learning how to season poo poo.

My favourite part of "being a good cook" is basically just my willingness to use a large knife. Loads of people feel like they're somehow going to slice all their fingers off with a large knife, then proceed to use a tiny blade for everything and barely escape without a knife through their fingers with every meal.

I do not understand how people can get this far in life without learning how to season poo poo.  Even then I've got like half a dozen of those herbs what come in the glass pots and a vague idea of what to put with what kind of dish. For some reason (not sure if it's the ready meal industry, patriarchy, lack of proper instruction in schools, or what) but a lot of young men seem to think that cooking is somehow magic, when in reality it's more like labwork (but you can eat the results). You have your reagents, your glassware, your utensils, and your processes, and if you know which ones to use for what you can largely predict the results. Having someone to cook for who appreciates it is a big motivator too. I'm 90% certain I'd eat like poo poo if I was on my own. I know right, beans belong in other places.

I think it was triggered by the Guardian still burying the antisemitism report but I've been feeling really sick and anxious all day that we just don't know how badly some people are suffering from the lockdown right now. Like it was always going to an unequal burden, people that are comfortably off but can't work from home are kind of having a holiday, people that are comfortably off but can work from home yeah that sucks a little but people that are crammed a whole family into a tower block flat? People with a chemical dependence suddenly going cold turkey? Like a loving single mum that can work from home but also has to do childcare simultaneously wtf, the domestic abuse surge that surely must be happening and old people completely, COMPLETELY alone because they can't understand the technology sufficiently it's really loving me up. Like just as a statistical necessity there is an ocean of pain happening right now and there is literally no system in place in this country for that pain to be expressed through. The Mirror is poverty shaming  and the Guardian is doing some even more sinister poo poo  and growing up those were the good ones, they were meant to be the instititutions that cared. I don't know maybe I'm ranting but I can't see any meaningful mechanism that could even potentially tell us how bad it really is for the most vulnerable right now it's freaking me out.

the last remaining neutral one was the bbc until it was gutted over the past 15-20 years. I don't think the uk has had any good media for probably half a century

I watched some of the dudes on Gogglebox almost in tears that brave Boris had turned the corner, and how he really appreciates the NHS now. I (a sophisticated politics understander) just ruefully chuckled. It would be wild to be able to live your life with the brain of a child in the body of an adult

Lol Boris never turned up to all the emergency meetings and did gently caress all prep work even when told it'd kill half a million people. I'd say its unbelievable but it's actually completely within his character.

Ok he's too lazy to run the country but imagine the alternative, a government with a ker-azy free internet scheme that may well have failed and merely massively improved broadband access to rural areas. We made the right decision
