OwlFancier posted:I don't know if I would be entirely surprised to learn that there is no technical law against building a volley gun, or presumably on that same basis, outfitting your car with a carronade battery so you can broadside people who try to overtake you. A volley gun I /believe/ would not be permitted as it fires more than one shot with each 'trigger pull' (hot wire/fuze/whatever). But if each barrel fired individually? Honestly, no idea.

So you're saying I can definitely outfit my corsa as a 144 gun ship of the line and declare myself sovereign over the A66.

feedmegin posted:I mean, like, Prosciutto is fairly available over here too and is basically the same principle. It's not the exact same process though. Curing salt mixes are basically split into Type 1 and Type 2 (basically does it have nitrate in the mix or not); Type 1 is for curing meat like bacon that is intended to be cooked and Type 2 is for the stuff you're curing to be eaten uncooked. Modern shop bought bacon especially won't have been cured long enough to render it safe to eat raw. And it's also unlikely 'smoked' bacon you buy has actually been smoked either, but had flavourings injected in it, so it's not any safer either. Cooking meat is pretty much the only way to guarantee it's safe but the risks associated with eating dry cure meat are really down to making sure it's done properly and the quality of the meat you're using in terms of whether the animals have been reared in a disease ridden cesspit or not. So if you're going to do some home dry curing don't use budget mass produced pork. Curing your own bacon is something anyone can do as it's a lot less hard to gently caress up than a dry cure sausage for example. You can just buy a pack of curing salt 1 from amazon or wherever and cure a nice pork belly from your local butchers in a food bag in your fridge. The result is going to taste much better than anything you buy in a packet especially if you add flavourings like pepper and garlic to your cure.

The 2" maximum bore limit for a shotgun was picked to preserve this traditional Lincolnshire activity, which tbh seems a lot better than the upper-class pursuits of breeding idiot chickens to shoot at and harassing wildlife on horseback. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOkrprr2kwg

Jaeluni Asjil posted:I don't know what era you were at school, but in the 70s when I was at secondary school, girls did cookery and boys did woodwork. When we got to our 'choices' year (year 10 in the new money), for the compulsory 'arts/crafts' subject, I chose to do technical drawing (I was the only girl - and as ever with my choices found other girls sneered at me and made comments about me choosing it - not the boys - even though as it happens I was second in the class, the boy who was top had a draughtsman father) and 2 boys chose cookery. Hah, we didn't get the option of cookery, or IT, or anything useful like that - not when there was Latin to learn!! In fact the headteacher declared that computers would never amount to anything and weren't worth learning about - in 1999. I wish I'd paid more attention in Design & Technology though, I feel a bit left behind in that.

On the one hand I don't want to drive like a twat, on the other hand if I don't redline it in first and deafen everybody nearby, it doesn't go anywhere because it's powered by a sewing machine, so I'm just driving like a different sort of twat.

I don't know if it's just the reporting on it, but the Johnson's waffling today about vocational training etc seems to be doing a really good job of avoiding talking about what post-covid jobs/skills people will be trained for other than something about "online shopping". So I guess delivery drivers and warehouse staff is what he's meaning?

We'd have done something wrong if warehouse and delivery jobs are still done by people in ten years. The only jobs in ten years will be dentist, entertainer, midwife, dog walker, bar staff and fruit picker. Luckily we'll all get $100 amazon bucks every month to recycle into Bezotism, the next stage on from capitalism.

And that guys name was Albert Einstein I never saw anything too peculiar cooking-wise, which is a shame, as I live for that kind of poo poo. People who post photos on Instagram of meals they are so happy with and it's just a dry chicken breast with microwaved peas. Or things that 'look burnt but taste sooooo good' I am only into authentic gently caress-ups, not GBBO type stuff. The primo poo poo, top shelf, if you take enough of anything you can get high.
