I generally agree about lemon and sugar, but homemade jam (Corb-style) also ranks highly. Only remembered after I'd already made toast for breakfast, so we'll be having pancakes for pudding tonight. Maybe savoury pancakes for dinner? Hmmmm

Sweet pancakes are fine but I will be focusing on creamy garlic and mushrooms in mine.

There is no one best topping. Cinnamon and sugar is good. Lemon juice and sugar is good. Maple syrup is good. Most mornings my wife has a chickpea flour pancake (v easy and v good, savoury or sweet), and tops them with tahini and date syrup, which is absolutely amazing.

I'm about halfway through reading The Constant Rabbit, and I need to know if it's a powerful allegory about the nature of law and being indigenous or if the author just really wants to gently caress the Cadbury's Caramel Bunny? Because I'm getting mixed messages and I'd like a heads up if it's going to become that kind of fiction.crispix posted:if you think about it, peter andre in that video was merely doing a muscled truffle shuffle

TACD posted:I was under the impression that a key difference between UK and US law is that not talking to the police after you’ve been arrested can be actively used against you over here? Yes and No. Going "No Comment" throughout your entire interview is not something that they can bring up against you What they can do is if you rely on a defence (like "Yes I did kill Craig Staircase. But only because he said he'd kill me first.") And the first time thus comes out is in court, the prosecution will ask "if that's true why is this the first time we are hearing of it?" The position of Irish Law (and I imagine it's the same in the UK) is that if you want to rely on the defence of an Alibi you have to do that well in advance of a criminal trial. That doesn't mean it has to be said in the police station when you are arrested but just be done within 14 days of you being remanded to the Circuit or Criminal court. (So the police are afforded the opportunity to see if that could be true.) Also (again Irish Law) certain Terrorism offences (mostly organized crime or IRA membership) have provisions where if you do not answer, they can be used as evidence against you.* But they have to individually warn you for each question that caries this risk. There are also certain offences for failing to provide details (if a guard makes a specific demand for your name or address under specific legislation. Or failing to provide a breath/blood/urine specimen in drink/drug driving cases.) But generally silence is the best policy until you talk to a lawyer. *= With the provision that you cannot be convicted on inference evidence alone.

Right to Silence in England and Wales: - don't talk to police unless you have been accused of committing a criminal offence. That basically means until you've been charged don't cooperate. - if you are charged politely but firmly advise that you are not prepared to discuss the charges until you have taken advice from a solicitor. - be aware that your silence may be used to infer something about your case. However silence alone is not enough to convict you, they need to have other evidence. Also it is the judges discretion to direct the jury to make an inference (however judges are scum so don't rely on then to help you.) - you are expected to reveal if you have an alibi. You are also expected to explain objects or marks that appear to link you to the crime (example, you have a bloody knife and someone just got stabbed). Failure to do so could infer that you for example were waiting to invent an alibi or trying to explain away the reason for having the murder weapon. - your right to silence is extremely limited to the point of non-existence if you are charged with serious fraud or terrorism. - your right to silence does not extend to refusing to give passwords to electronic devices. Essentially in Britain silence is a gift given to you by the state, and they can find a way to withdraw that gift if they want because this country is poo poo.

Right on topic, this morning a copper/PCSO duo tried to talk to me and a friend because we were chatting as our dogs played in the park. I said is anything wrong officer and he said no I just want to give you some advice. I said no thank you and turned and walked away! Genuinely expected to be tackled to the ground, it was very exhilarating.

You can decline to give passwords most of the time, there are specific circumstances where you can be compelled but they aren't powers that are used on a whim

Was in work yesterday and we had a delay getting onto the track as there were machines working where we were going to work so I was potching about cleaning the canteen up a bit. One of the younger lads was sitting down browsing through his phone when another, more senior, lad said he should get up and at least try and look busy and the younger lad said 'what's the point?' and the other lad just shook his head. But the younger lad was right, what's the point in looking busy if there's nothing to do? I was just cleaning up some spilt water and milk and taking out a full black bag, there really wasn't anything else to do. I've always thought it was strange how important it is to 'look busy'.

Red Oktober posted:I didn't know this, I thought you could decline to provide a password (hence smarter to use than biometrics), but that's probably from reading American internet. I mean as the other posters said it involves paperwork so the police will probably just steal it off you anyways, but not providing passwords when requested is a criminal offence of its own under the RIPA. Which technically means you could be charged and founf innocent of an offence but still go to prison for not providing a password during the course of that investigation. (I doubt this would actually happen but the police and CPS are cunts). Oh also (I forgot this one) it's a criminal offence not to provide a copper with your name and address of they suspect you of being anti-social.

Two relevant things are the fact that employers (and their bootlickers) believe they are buying the employee's time ("you're on my time now, so look busy"), and that this is the natural way of employment rather than a recent thing specific to our society; and that humans actually work better in bursts, rather than having to pretend to maintain a constant pace throughout the time. This seems to make most employers utterly unable to deal with a) the concept of paying someone to stand by in case something happens, and b) as in your case, the concept of there being nothing to do right now. For a counterexample, in theatre land there was once literally nothing we could do for several hours while the carpenters did some work, so we went to the cinema and watched a film. Followed by an intense burst of electrics later. Good times.

Convex posted:It's good of the police to warn us that sweets bought from drug dealers might contain drugs How are you going to mistake them for regular sweets when they cost £25 a bag? Are people still under the impression that 'drug pushers' will give away doses for free to 'hook' new customers? Those days a) are long gone and b) never happened. Also, there is no mention of where they came from. Come on coppers, I need a hookup. Try not being bastards for a day.

That reminded me of a shift where we had completed the job but still had 3 hours left in the shift so the guy in charge said we'd go and do some ballast work on a piece of track that was going to get ripped up in five days time because we were, as he put it, "on my time." Which was loving stupid because he could have got to go home early as well. He just wanted to look good for his bosses even if the work was completely pointless. Something about maximising value and productivity makes people come up with insane ideas.

As they've never been shown they manage the only way they can - by monitoring the time spent on 'tasks', rather than the outcomes. I don't know how true it is, but I've read that the idea of paying for 'time' from workers in general wasn't really a thing until the invention of the assembly line and affordable clocks, until then people would be paid a piecemeal rate depending on bushels of corn collected etc.

Good book so far, definitely worth a read/listen. For some reason I thought it was quite an old book (like maybe from 10 years ago, in the late 90s, according to my broken timebrain), but it's actually from 2018. Maybe I saw references to the 2013 essay it's based on.

More of this imo, I can still remember why levomethamphetamine is a good decongestant but dextromethamphetamine can cause increased risk of Parkinson's type neurological deterioration.

Amusingly my first lesson in "don't trust the police" was at primary school when a policeman came in, in uniform, to give us a talk. The head introduced him, then he said he'd bought sweets in for everyone, so we all rushed in to grab some. He then stopped us and said that we shouldn't take sweets from someone we didn't know. Thanks, 80s policeman.
