Rice is also a good versatile stockpile food. 192 is the sum of ten consecutive primes (5 + 7 + 11 + 13 + 17 + 19 + 23 + 29 + 31 + 37) Gyro Zeppeli fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Oct 7, 2020 |

WhatEvil posted:Oh man yeah the chocolate smooth is definitely one of the good ones. Tbh it's so good but all the other ones I've tried are borderline inedible. I got a free sample of the vegan choc one with my last order, and I tried in my porridge the other day and nearly puked. It was like that video of the gammon sport presenter eating a spoonful of cinnamon. Horrific. Also disappointing cause I'm trying to phase out animal from my life, but I crave that sweet whey Gyro Zeppeli posted:Rice is also a good versatile stockpile food.

Buy cheap ham slices and a £20 laminator and laminate each slice individually and then you can store them in a handy folder on your bookshelf

Failed Imagineer posted:Tbh it's so good but all the other ones I've tried are borderline inedible. I got a load of the little sample packs of different flavours before, I thought they were generally pretty decent tbh. The coffee/mocha ones were good, as were any of the "natural" ones like Natural Banana. Seem to remember I had one that was like raspberry ripple or something that was not so good - still not awful or anything. Also the clear whey isolate ones in the fruity flavours were decent. I do think the nicest ones are the flavours that are supposed to be creamy though, so like chocolate, creme brulee, mocha etc. E: Oh yeah I haven't tried any of the vegan ones, though.

An alternative to powdered milk is the various non-dairy based milk. Soya Milk, Almond Milk etc...all last much longer than dairy milk. If you are lactose intolernt (sounds like you aren’t) or looking to reduce dairy in your life, it’s a place to start.

OwlFancier posted:What about the neoliberal wing of labour makes you think they are rationally interested in winning elections by building a united front where all the left and center's interests are represented? Nothing; Can I try to explain the misconception that causes you to think that matters? There is a potential situation where Starmer refuses to implement any good policies despite them being necessary for him to win the election. That is a situation that you or I don’t have any control or influence over. That means we don’t need to worry about it. There is another situation where Starmer does want to win, offers good but imperfect policies, but the left refuses to vote for him anyway because we are already committed to the idea that he is a bad person. That would be a situation that we do have control over, and so should be prepared for. The first is Betelgeuse having exploded and a neutrino death wave being on its way; the second is global warming. One is a situation where we are irredeemably hosed and nothing matters. The other is a situation where not only individual action can do at least something, but collective action can plausibly succeed. The relative likelihood of those two situations, predicted from now, does not matter; you are not voting now. All you need to do is avoid emotionally committing _not_ to vote. Because no one is an emotionless robot, and such commitments are not easily reversed. At the last election, 60 odd percent of the population were committed to the idea that Corbyn was a bad person, and nothing he could do or say would ever have convinced them otherwise. That’s just how human brains work, and it is a mistake to think you or I are somehow immune to that.

Kin posted:Cool, she's come out with "online lists" now, so at the very least sounds like our cupboards are at least gonna be overflowing with pasta and coffee. How about getting a couple of those giant tubs of whey powder for body building if you need all that protein? Longlife milk can be found with a 5 months deadline on it, oats if sealed well should last, and canned fish. Eggs also last quite a long time contrary to popular belief. As long as they're cooked well (luckily I like my eggs hard boiled and will happily boil them for nearly an hour just to make absolutely sure they won't squirt liquid yolk over me when opened - traumatised by an incident at school when I was 10 here). Ed: also = know yourself! I daredn't buy anything 'nice' because I will just eat it in one big binge. It has to be food that does not call to me all day and all night until it gets et destroying concentration and drowning out any possibility of doing anything else until I give in.

VideoGames posted:How do I put succinctly a thought I am having about people who say Labour's loss is through the left not voting? Basically they blame any Labour defeat on the left not voting but they ignore 'swing' voters or the fact that there is an entire group of other people who vote tory. I don't think anyone can rationally blame the 'the left' for anything because 1. the left barely exists 2. the left is herding cats at the best of times it's not a consistent or coherent block and 3. all the UK leftists voted for Labour in 2017, all the UK leftists voted for Labour in 2019, the difference in outcome simply can't be explained by lefty voters. The thing is the left does vote for Labour because it's the best option even if it sucks and that isn't necessarily a diss. In 2017 the libs also voted for Labour (and honestly fair play to them, that the libs stayed loyal hasn't really been appreciated/examined), even though it was voting to respect the Brexit ref, because they hadn't had the fake carrot of a second ref dangled under their nose and Labour was the best option even if it sucks. The "rightwards" voters that swung tory for the first time ever were also voting for the best option even if it sucks too btw. Starmer is courting the voters he deliberately alienated for the 2019 election because he knows that they are valuable and now Brexit is neutralised as a political issue are easily winnable. If the left were a large, consistent, coherent voting block then yeah no poo poo we'd be courted more but we aren't? If that annoys you then build social power, a mass movement that isn't organised around a specific MP would be lovely, while also maximising your potential influence in the Labour Party. There's also that the establishment media apparatus in the UK is insanely right wing and yes that is partly why they bully. An Idiot Poor Racist is a much more desirable outcome than an Intersectional Working Class Activist so they are obviously going to coddle people towards being the former.

Another sexual health advisor here. As well as a sonographer, sales rep, florist, cake decorator, pr director, ranger and at least a dozen other things ranging from farm labourer to cosmetic surgeon. I think the whole thing’s a bit useless tbh. I mean surely I, an autistic fudge chef aged 39, will totally be able to retrain as a loving plastic surgeon. (Though my actual jobs have included security management, shooting instructor, gaming organiser, personal trainer, bodyguard, marketing rep, tour guide, powder monkey, fudge cook and being a literal loving clown, so almost as varied) Camrath fucked around with this message at 01:28 on Oct 8, 2020 |

I've said before, the dream would be for Momentum and the Unions to form a secondary party run in the democratic mould Corbyn was trying to set up with the NEC and despite the PLP. Top points if your absolute boy joined them but it'd be more likely you'd have the PR nightmares of Galloway and Livingstone trying to join instead. This would also however mean probably no chance of a victory for the left in our lifetime, and a lib/lab centrist coalition crowing about how they were right to drive the evil Jaremy Crobny from the party because of their electoral success. Nothing of measure will have a chance of being fixed, and instead of being on the inside pissing out, we'll be in the eternal goon position of making GBS threads on the train platform instead. It feels like this is not the time for a huge split-off of the left, but Ialso realise that the material conditions of 'this is not the time' are largely created by the right and by capitalists exploiting and worsening those conditions for profit. In summary; gently caress.

My Summer Car meets DIY SOS in a brutally accurate rendition of an 80s provincial town, with a Spec Ops The Line "Oh poo poo I'm the monster" plotline (albeit one that's telegraphed from the very beginning - the hint is one half of the title, after all). Even comes with a flat roof pub that is *startlingly* similar to the only pub left within staggering distance of my house. Same layout, same decor, same angry Irish woman behind the bar.

loving weird day today. Had the day off so I slept in. One of the Cats came in to visit me at 1130 so I slowly rolled out of bed after lazing around for an hour. Wife had been playing warframe since this time. Walked downstairs with her and we heard one of our cats meowing in distress. But we couldn't see him. It sounded oddly distant. I unlocked and opened the front door and there he was outside. We freaked out and did a cat check. One missing. The one who came in to try to get me up at 1130. More freaking out. Checked all the doors and windows, all locked. Ran outside to look, nothing. Called neighbours and started a minor search party (she's a gorgeous orange fluffy tailless cat who's never been outside) After walking around the neighbourhood for 30 min I swung down the road next to my house separated by a fence and heard her meow in the distance. Looked over the fence and she was sitting on the outside of the downstairs windowsill. I leapt over the fence and she ran off round a corner and vanished. Finally found her after walking around with a food bowl shaking it and she ran back to the house herself. Back to the matter at hand. All the doors and windows were sealed and we checked all the latches and locks. I was asleep, the wife was gaming. How the gently caress did two cats get outside and leave 3 other cats inside. Either I slept walked for the first time in my life past my wife and let them out, or we didn't lock the front door and someone else opened it and let them out. Or reality is a simulation and it lagged when I woke up and the cats spawn locations were offset. gently caress knows.
