Speaking of chemistry, why *do* they use nitrous oxide for whipped cream instead of just plain nitrogen? I know why they can't use carbon dioxide or oxygen, but it seems like nitrogen would work just as well? Is this just food scientists like to party and found a way of making hippy crack cheaply and easily available?

Speaking of:

quote:

Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger, a moderate Democrat of Virginia, unloaded on some of her colleagues during a caucus call this afternoon, according to multiple reports.

Spanberger leads in her race by just 1 point right now, and she blamed the close result on effective attack ads from her opponent based around some Democrats’ calls to “defund the police”.

“We need to be pretty clear,” Spanberger said. “It was a failure. It was not a success. We lost incredible members of Congress.”

If you were born in 1985 you've been through a recession in the 90s, one in 2008 which let's be realistic, is not actually done for 98% of people because wages haven't recovered, now covid, plus the gulf war, iraq war, all kinds of other shite, the mass privatisation of natural monopolies, utterly ballooning house prices...

But "maybe it's time to be less selfish". gently caress off. As if a 25 year old only has problems like amazon packages or instagram.

When I lived in Germany in the 1970s, there was a chip machine (yes really - put in your 1DM and get out a toasty hot bag of chips - as in British chip shop style, not skinny fries or crisps) and the option to squirt mayonaisse over them. Anyway, we soon discovered that a 10p piece (old ones not the new smaller ones) would fit the slot and at the time 1 DM was worth about 35p.

Also, the bus ticket validation machines on German buses could be fooled with a wrigleys chewing gum wrapper. Often saw British schoolboys being hauled off the bus between two burly plain-clothes cops having been caught out doing that trick.

Expanding on this one, it follows in reverse. Any reasonably non-toxic gas that you could store as a compressed liquid that dissolved well in fats would also very likely be a decent inhalational anesthetic, and I can only think of a few, propane, butane, cyclopropane, methoxyethane maybe, and those all vary from very flammable to ridiculously flammable, and would impart unpleasant smells or tastes to the cream.

So nitrous oxide is really the least bad option as it's non-flammable (though can intensify fires/Vin Diesel movies) and all of the other options would have your cream stinking of petrol and possibly on fire, and errant hoodies or whoever we're scared of now could still use them to get a quick high, as it was with lighter gas canisters.

Very odd video from BBC on traffic before and after lockdown https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-54833769. The first few clips make sense - show the same street on the 4th November vs the 5th, and then bizarrely they compare traffic at Piccadilly Circus, always busy, to the bus and taxi only part of Oxford Street. Is it some odd Government mandate to pretend that all Londoners have stayed at home and that the people of Birmingham are savages that don't understand lockdown?

Don’t knock it ‘til you try it (Mayo and Mayo+ketchup on chips). A frickled egg sounds absolutely revolting.

They had them in Blackpool for a while, it was quite a big thing. I think it might even have been on Tomorrow's World (remember when that was a hopeful name for a show, rather than evoking an image of a half-naked person screaming in a cave?).

I wonder if that bloke who wanted to employ a hermit to live in the grounds of his mansion ever found someone? It was apparently a quite fashionable thing in the Georgian era, and a lot of stately homes have hermit caves/shacks built in.

The Georgians liked their hermits to jump out in front of them/their guests while walking the grounds and quote scripture, or give riddles, or just generally caper and gibber. IIRC this bloke was willing to let the hermit do what they want, but I can't find the story now.

I don't remember seeing any UKMT discourse on it but have comfortably assumed 'yo that's kinda hosed up to be cutting bits of kids dicks off without their consent' would be the thread take, and that assumption must have come from somewhere so maybe there has been circumcision chat?
