didn't they water down the rum in the navy? which is appropriate, because you were never guaranteed adequate alcohol

Well they had to honestly because the rum was strong enough to light on fire (that's what the gunpowder proof thing is about) and giving sailors half a pint of 57% rum and then having them climb the top sail or whatever it is that they did wasn't exactly safe.

Note that this meant they just diluted your ration, you still got the full amount each day. Which was 16 units of alcohol each and every day.

yeah iirc it was roughly equivalent to drinking malibu all day. strong enough to preserve the vitamin c, weak enough so you won't black out. a lightweight that doesn't do it everyday would be wrecked though

Lufthansa airlifts food to the UK amid lorry chaos

quote:

Germany's Lufthansa is airlifting fresh fruit and vegetables to the UK on Wednesday as firms seek to beat the lorry chaos at sea ports

The airline said it is carrying 80 tonnes of food from Frankfurt to Doncaster Sheffield Airport for grocers including Tesco and Sainsbury's.

Almost 3,000 lorries remain stuck in Kent despite moves to re-start cross-Channel access from Dover.

There are concerns that testing drivers for Covid could delay food supplies.

France shut its border with the UK on Sunday for 48 hours to stop the spread of a new variant of the coronavirus found in the UK.

"Lufthansa Cargo is currently examining whether additional special cargo flights can be offered during the next days. We are also checking if a regular flight might be possible," a spokeswoman told the BBC.

"This could be with a freighter, but we are also examining if we could use passenger aircraft for freight flights only," she added.

Lufthansa said the delivery, sent by freight firm Venus International Transport, was destined for Tesco, Sainbury's, the Co-op and Aldi.

quote:

Tesco has introduced purchasing limits on some products including eggs, rice, soap and toilet roll. Customers are allowed to buy up to three of each item.

I'll have three egg, please

never heard of the watson/netanyahu comic before and the first link after a google search says this:

The Guardian has come under fire over its coverage of anti-Semitism after the paper refused to publish a cartoon depicting Jeremy Corbyn's critics and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a negative light and also for the paper's decision to pull a letter signed by 100 prominent Jews in defence of the Labour leader.

and the guardian is supposed to be a left wing newspaper lol

You fool. CSPAM's accelerationist fantasies will never come to pass. Political science has been perfected. The checks and balances are in place, the pressure release valves are fully functional. Things will get progressively worse, our leaders more cartoonishly incompetent, at precisely the right rate to be normalized. We will always be two steps away from bloody revolution, five steps away from humanity's untapped psychic potential spontaneously blowing the heads off the ruling elite in a single moment of collective rage.

When the last two humans on earth find the last scrap of calorific content, the man with the shinier shoes will take it and the other will be too polite to stop him.
