Green candidate for Batley and Spen has been dropped. Going to just be a straight head to head between Labour and Tories at this rate. Other than the usual assortment of by-election weirdos. Yes, the Lib Dems e: page 21, so have 2 posts instead of 1 sebzilla fucked around with this message at 23:02 on Jun 7, 2021 |

The Question IRL posted:While it won't harm her career, there is a certain satisfaction to be gained from watching people be aquited because she couldn't keep her mouth shut. Yeah, it’s a small silver lining to a very nasty cloud.

It's paywalled and as it's the Indy it's not even worth the effort of working round that - what do they claim the problem is? The Home Secretary is responsible for policing - as long as they don't have her on record giving ordering them to do illegal things then there's not any actual legal problem, surely?

Guavanaut posted:Psyllium husks and coir (ground coconut husk fibre) are both good sources, and some of the more popular vegan burgers (Gro maybe, I think (which to their detriment suffer from being a bit chewy)) are full of various plant fibre if you check the labels. Cheers!

If you get tired of eating your coir you can also use it to grow orchids.

Yeah it is Gro that's full of besan (chickpea flour). Good roughage but gives a bit of a paste texture to the burgers. Funnily enough it doesn't seem to affect their sausage rolls. Maybe they managed to extract the Piers Morgan outrage energy to burn it off.

Psyllium husks are the absolute poo poo. (literally lol) I used to think old people were mad to be obsessed with fiber but goddamn. I got old, and it makes quite the difference.

It'd be interesting if cultivated banana trees were able to grow properly locally, I was always told that way back when you could get them much bigger if you don't have to pull them early to ship them around everywhere (back to Nigel Farage banana havers in Kent), but the modern bananas are all Cavendish strains, neither the extremely sweet Gros Michel colonial cultivars nor the extremely starchy Indonesian plantains. Then again if you could get good bananas the size of your forearm from a random tree growing in a ditch in the Midlands then that Lib Dem peer that wanted everyone to forage for food in the countryside might have had a point, and I don't want to countenance that either.

there's one or two varieties of banana that will crop outside under very good conditions/positions in the UK but the fruits will be small/mediocre at best My wife's aunt grew some in a greenhouse and got reasonable results but the fuckers grow big and she had to get rid of it

I use vita fibre from myprotien. It's probably made up of the stuff others are taking about but it's basically a really fine powder that dissolves well in liquids with a sight sweet flavouring. I pop a scoop in my coffee and a scoop in my porridge every morning to get my daily fibre requirement and I don't even notice it. It's the equivalent of eating 2 bowls (or 80g) of allbran. Which, well, try eating that and tell me how much you enjoy it.

Also of course edible bananas are never going to grow wild because they've been bred to be completely seedless - theoretically every banana in the world is a clone of one that was in Kew Gardens during the war. This is also why we don't have Gros Michel any more - the extremely low level of genetic diversity means that when a disease came along that killed them, they just all died. (Apparently that generic banana artificial flavour that tastes basically nothing like bananas *does* taste a lot like Gros Michel - maybe sprinkle some of it on your normal banana if you want that hit?)

Gros Michel bananas aren't extinct and you can still buy them. They're just not economic to farm in large quantities anymore.

Apparently the big success of the Cavendish is how well it travels/stores more than anything else, and with technologies like Apeel becoming a thing bringing more exotic cultivars to market might be doable.

It seems I'm getting my second jab way early, I had my first four weeks ago today and I just got the text to book. Four weeks-ish is the ideal spacing right? I was expecting to wait eleven. Seems like uptake is good as all the spots at the town hall got snapped up, last one vanished when I tried for it.

Mine will be about 6 weeks after my first. Given the original trials were done on a 4 week gap, this is better than expected. Also I'd already booked Monday off work and the jab is this Sunday so looks like no sickday for me!

I gather the AZ one actually works best at about 11 weeks but was originally intended for a four week spacing, while pfizer you can have them quite close together and it makes no difference.

The whole worldview behind that is the exact same one that kidnapped a few million children for Sunday schools around the Empire and then left piles of little corpses in their back yards. If there is a fixed set of "crucial developmental stages for which their responses to emotional initiation are primed" then it's beyond current scientific knowledge, let alone that of Janet Daley writing for The Telegraph.

If you think there is something about society that causes unfathomable collapse of children's brains if they don't go to school then perhaps that is an indictment of that society rather than an argument for school.

It sort of is. Kids don't socialise anywhere near as much as they used to, for a multitude of reasons - communities are more atomised of course, lack of public space and activities, wariness (justified or not) of the outside world generally - that all pretty much come back to the fact we've spent four decades reshaping society into something that serves only Number. For many kids school is about the only place where they get proper socialisation (and physical activity). For a better part of a year they've been reduced to purely online interaction and basically no exercise - we've bred The Goon Generation.
