I don't think I drink enough diet coke to determine whether it would give me the same headaches if I had more of it though.

Sugar tastes better. I much prefer to have a sugary treat as god intended, if I'm going to have something sweet. Better to have 1 thing that you really enjoy than multiple that are passable when it comes to food imo

I've not even got to the bits about the Empire, but given the date of publication and the sorts of people who enjoy it...

This seems to be a weird and hosed up version of the origin of Britain from Holinshed's Chronicles, which is already weird and hosed up. Neptune here is the nephew of Osiris somehow for example. Holinshed's Chronicles is also where Shakespeare got a bunch of his 'history' from which explains a lot.

They didn't ask to be included, they politely waited until the powers that be kindly decided to grace them with acknowledging their existence. Or at least if they did ask I didn't pay attention, which is the same thing.

It’s kind of wild to me that my social circles here in Asia are going nuts sharing details of Pelosi’s flight on WeChat and wondering if we’re on the brink of WW3 (we’re not) and everyone back in the UK is still on local news - is it even being reported?

TACD posted:I think you have this backwards — it was fat that was incorrectly blamed for obesity for decades on the back of questionable science with dodgy funding, and there’s recently been a realisation that sugar is the far more harmful substance (hence the recent sugar taxes, which I agree are probably not the best approach). The overall point I was making was that a lot of science and medicine around obesity and the study of fat has a lot of really problematic if not crazy roots that are just uncritically followed. For instance, BMI is still referenced a lot, when it's origins are...interesting, to day the least. https://elemental.medium.com/the-bizarre-and-racist-history-of-the-bmi-7d8dc2aa33bb

Anyone here involved in the payment of bills for communal areas of flats? Have your service charges increased because of fuel costs lately? How are people dealing? Reacting? Or do you simply get a 'balancing charge' at the end of your service charge year and everyone has to cough up? I notified the residents here (which includes me, I'm not some kind of supra-landlord just the Chair of the residents committee - which is also the landlord - for my misfortune!) by letter this morning that because our fixed rate electricity contract ended on Sunday and we're on new rates from yesterday (fixed rate 2 years) which increase our annual common areas bill by £5000 pa (if we used the same in the next 12 months as in the last 12 months), we would like a one off £50 from each flat to contribute towards the increase from Aug to Dec taking the rest from the service charges account, and then from next year increase the monthly service charge by approx £25 per flat to cover the increase. One of the residents has already verbally attacked our Treasurer and is saying she's going to sell up and move out. I think she'll probably calm down, but I'm guessing any other flat she might buy will be in the exact same situation re increased fuel bills as existing fixed rates come to an end. What is anyone else finding?

I mean, yes, a bit, but the BBC & most other outlets aren't interested in covering foreign affairs unless it's in an English speaking country. Sorry, a majority white English speaking country.

Sorry, a majority white English speaking country. I mean, the US still is, technically? E: also it’s really interesting to look at overseas news outlets. Like, I’m watching CCTV News now and the way they report is to intercut the important person speaking with the same clip of like 3-5 views of the audience repeated over and over again. It’s super low effort. Beefeater1980 fucked around with this message at 14:06 on Aug 2, 2022 |
