Doctor_Fruitbat posted:On the subject of cereal: seriously, where do I get Ricicles or their closest knock-off? I haven't been able to find them in years, because everyone decided to stop making them simultaneously. I am getting unreasonably angry at the complete and total lack of sugar-coated rice crispies in this country, every time I remember that we were robbed of them I get really pissed off then have to feel stupid for being mad about cereal. Can I just sprinkle icing sugar on rice crispies and be done with it? Ricicles were sacrificed when the sugar tax came in, so as to provide cover for the far more sugary but also acceptably middle class crunchy nut corn flakes. I'm sorry, they're gone forever. But can I interest you in some strawberry coco pops? edit: 9/11 never forget.

Recently got a Sugar Puff hankering, and hadn't had them since the coalition days. Was horrified to discover that they're now called Honey Puffs and have barely any sugar. The also no longer seem to change the way your piss smells. Very disappointing.

Start was an excellent cereal. Frosted Shreddies and Curiously Cinnamon somehow still available despite being full of sugar.

Endjinneer posted:Not quite, if I remember my mix design correctly. Fly ash is used for cement replacement in concrete because it has vaguely similar properties to portland cement, though it's not so easy to source now we've stopped burning coal in the UK. Blast furnace slag is used the same way. Neither affects the density that much. What does is aerating the concrete and you can get down to 6-800kg/m3. Leave out the large aggregate as well and that's the recipe for breeze blocks. If you cut them in half they look like an aero. Some quick wiki-ing suggests that I've confused them using fly ash in the Mulberry harbours (because it was one of the few things we had very little shortage of) and the asbestos-containing concrete they used for the temporary sheds in the docks. So add "breaking legs of unsuspecting swimmers" to the hazards of asbestos I suppose.

Jollity Farm posted:These nerds aren't washing their cloth masks, are they? And they're reusing the disposable ones over and over, because words don't mean anything. I had a 'discussion' with someone I know IRL on FB a few months ago on this very subject. He was talking about the foul gunkiness of facemasks and how unhygienic they were. I said 'it's the foul gunk from your own lungs, why should you think it's acceptable to spray it over other people instead of confining it to your own face where it has been living in your lungs anyway? And by the way you are supposed to WASH the reusables and change the disposables.' Anyway, he is now muted. I actually give my reusables a Milton's fluid & boiling water bath in a large cup regularly. Lungboy posted:White chocolate cocopops have disappeared recently too, my kids are going to mutiny when they finish the last box we have. They were a limited edition I think. I bought a box imagining they would be ambrosia but I didn't like them.

I don't wash mine as often as I should and they are hardly foul, really want to know what the gently caress people are doing to their masks where they are visibly dirty.

After a whole day of wear my reusable gets a bit mucky around the nose clip, and the whole thing smells like my breath (I have to assume mouthwash and chewing gum sales have been through the roof these last two years). I just bought a ten-pack and now like any other item of clothing they get changed daily and chucked in the washing machine at the end of the week. (Note: Don't absent-mindedly chuck them in with those Unstoppables scent thingies (look I like my sheets to smell nice, let me have one bourgeois comfort) unless you really fancy having a nosegay)

People were right with the 'face nappies' slogan: it's designed to keep crap from spreading and if it's disposable, you wear it once and throw it away, and if it's cloth, you wash it and reuse. But no, somehow that was not what they took away from the conversation. To quote myself from a few pages back, ten years ago seems a very long time, and I'm watching the Hillsborough Disaster programme Anne on ITV and hadn't realised it's been almost a decade since she died.

Barry Foster posted:NFTs are utterly mind boggling to me Honestly, the fascinating thing has been watching them discover why all the laws and safeguards were there preventing people from doing the kind of stuff they've been speedrunning their way towards, thinking they're geniuses and that this is in any way sustainable. Doctor_Fruitbat posted:Oh I almost forgot, there's also the rampant art theft where they just steal artwork from anyone and everyone and sell it without a hint of shame in a mad attempt to profit on absolutely anything they can get their hands on, and upon being challenged on it their earnest response is that the artist should have done it first. So now anyone who creates art or follows artists is pretty much guaranteed to despise crypto with all their heart.

Can't imagine having one mask. Always have at least one box of disposable n95s by the door, a cloth respirator with disposable filter, and a half face 3m ffp2 elastomeric for when I have to go full bane.

Inexplicable Humblebrag posted:jesus i don't think i've thought about Start cereal for like twenty years Neither have I, but now I miss it because it was the best cereal. I also wasn't aware that Ricicles were no more. This thread is dredging up repressed cereal emotions... Don't all Red Wall polls have to be immediately acted on in full, to show that Labour Is In Touch With Real People? Or does that only apply if the polls say that folk want to kick out immigrants, bring back white dog poo poo and make the National Trust stop mentioning slavery and child labour? Edit: Seriously, did the phrase 'Red Wall' exist before 12/12/19? I don't remember ever hearing it until the exit poll dropped and suddenly it was all Labour Is Losing The Red Wall (meaning seats that they had been steadily losing votes in for decades [apart from 2017 but we don't talk about that...]) and now it's just used continuously like it's a thing, even though the whole point is that the Wall is now Blue, not Red.

Maugrim posted:Just had angry call and text from my landlord demanding to know why the rent for this month isn't in his account yet. I don't think he's realised today was a bank holiday. The money went out this morning of course, but from a quick Google I get the impression that it's my responsibility as tenant to make sure the rent gets to his account by the 1st. Is that correct? I guess that would mean I need to move the standing order to like the 28th or something. He's an extremely spiteful guy so we put a lot of effort into not pissing him off or ever having contact with him if possible.
