Holy balls that looks bad. It looks worse than that show on Channel 4 with all the comedians doing sub-Dead Ringers impersonations of the royals, and that was literally unwatchable.

pretty sure every games workshop employee will just spend it right back in games workshop. You can probably get, like, 6 orcs for that.

Quick question: I'm going to the pub this evening with a colleague from way back. But, can we just walk in? I'd wear make inside, but drinking and wearing a mask doesn't really work.

Most places you can just walk in now but it's up to the pub whether they'll keep the old rules in place (eg table service only). A lot of places were more difficult to walk in before because of reduced capacity but it varies. You don't need to wear a mask anymore but the etiquette is to wear it whenever you're not physically sat at a table (and a lot of pubs will require/encourage you to do this).

Whoever was asking about longer boxers for summer wear - Uniqlo do these which, while they look a little like fetish wear because of the mesh (they're not actually particularly transparent once actually on) are absolutely amazing and completely invulnerable to both disappearing up your arse and marinating your bits.

If you want even more detail I've actually *not* worn them in the East End yet, only in Cornwall, including in an amazing but unintentional stress test of walking around Looe in 35 degree temps for a couple of hours wearing motorbike gear, which I'll admit also doesn't help the allegations of fetishism.

That's the only thing I hate about motorbiking; the occasional combination of wearing full leather and it being a little bit sunny. 5 minutes in and I'm writhing around in my own sweat, the newly crowned Most Uncomfortable Man on Earth

Nice, I've already ordered the ones someone else recommended off Amazon, but if they're a bust ill try these next, I'm a big fan of the Uniqlo thermal long johns during the winter months. How are they for riding up on the legs?

Not a combo I'd wear if I were going to be doing serious speed or distance, but a fantastic fit for urban posing.

I had a canvass(?) jacket when I still had a motorbike but anything thicker than jeans was horrid. I sometimes see motorcyclists with shorts and t-shirt and I sympathise, despite the invitation of instant death it represents. E: I loved motorbiking but I'm in London now where driving is never fun, and I'm kiiiinda glad I don't have to scare my wife constantly with the prospect of smearing myself on tarmac

I seem to remember that not long ago someone recommended some kind of revolutionary bum-saving accessory you can get... Anyone care to make that recommendation again? As long as the saddle is ok and fits you properly, the soreness will go away after a week or two as your butt gets used to it. If it's still sore after that, then the saddle probably will need changing to one that's nicer for your butt. It's hard to get right because everyone's butt is different so you may need to try out a few. But like I said, only do that if it hasn't improved in a week or two. Also big padded saddles aren't always the most comfy/nicest for your rear end and gooch because they just smush everything together down there instead of politely and gently keeping everything separete.

Remembering fondly when Priti Patel and that other Tory waste who's a descendant of Lord Trevelyan were threatening to "starve out" ireland as part of Brexit negotiations, unaware that we produce 14x as much food as we need to sustain ourselves. There is definitely shortages on the shelves of M&S tho, at least 20% of all their goods aren't making it across the sea by their own account. Guess I'll have to buy a lasagne that doesn't have "Best of British  " stamped all over it

I seem to remember that not long ago someone recommended some kind of revolutionary bum-saving accessory you can get... Anyone care to make that recommendation again? I highly recommend getting padded undershorts. Not actual MAMIL lycra outer shorts, but ones you wear as pants. There's no way I'd bee seen in cycling shorts so I tried them and it's a revelation. So so comfy, and impossible to see that you are wearing them. Basically just like the usual ones but a bit less padded, and hidden from sight. They feel a bit odd what with the padding, but you get used to it quick. I had mine on for a few hours of shopping, also once in the pub (forgot I had the bike that time, oops) and they're fine for that too. On the bike though my sore arse was all but gone and I have a pretty skinny minimal saddle. Probably the best 30 I've spent on bike stuff.

It's really annoying when journalists don't link the studies they're writing about. It's here: https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/13/15/8161/htm The three metrics they use are population vs area of arable land (lower relative population density is better), physical isolation (more isolated is better), and "self-sufficiency" meaning renewable energy and manufacturing capacity. So sparsely populated islands are going to do well, as are developed nations with lots of renewables (e.g. wind in UK/Ireland, geothermal in Iceland). Runners-up are Canada and the US because while they aren't very isolated they have huge amounts of land and resources. There is some additional discussion with a bit more detail on the characteristics of the countries, but the paper seems more an excuse to promote the author's pet theory on societal collapse ("de-complexification" with "nodes of persisting complexity") than a really serious analysis. Worth noting that the study they're trying to build on ranked Ireland dead last for survivability out of the 20 nations included. On a separate note, sorry about your dog Twisto. She looked like an extremely good girl.

Adolf Glitter posted:I highly recommend getting padded undershorts. Yeah padded shorts are the way for a sore saddle, as well as just cycling regularly so your arse toughens up. If I haven't been on a bike for a while then the first few days always feel bruising, but it goes away quickly and after that I don't tend to bother with the padding for rides less than a couple of hours. I just got a few pairs standard bike shorts so I can either go full lycra or if I'm on my mountainbike or feeling shy I can wear them under trousers or baggy shorts no problem. Also stand on your pedals more on rough ground. You'll have better control and fewer bruises.
