Well I don't mean that it's literally just sugar, more that the osmotic pressure of that amount of sugar is seriously bacteriostatic

I only lurk because I don't have anything to add. Grateful for this thread and others I read daily, as sources of information are becoming very difficult to come across. I suppose if you want a good conflict you need to encourage as much ignorance as possible, and capital is going to need more conflicts going forward.

The Times has a good writeup about Starmer's treatment of Ali and others, and I've linked to the archive.is snapshot - Labour’s promising week derailed by secret recordingquote:Recording of antisemitic remarks was given to Labour on Saturday but the Times has revealed that no one thought to go through it thoroughly quote:Unlike other Labour MPs who had fallen foul of Starmer’s attempts to detoxify the party from claims of antisemitism — Azhar Ali was not a leftwinger and had powerful allies who argued for leniency. quote:In private some Labour MPs have questioned Starmer’s judgment over the affair — in particular whether he had drawn the right balance between acting against antisemitism and those who are criticising Israel in an intemperate but not antisemitic way.

He took issue with him taking a gig serving fudge to some rich (likely Tory) people if I recall. It was a very "yet you participate in society" thing to get hung up on.

It's funny how with this new improved antisemitism furore how the entire process is framed that Keir Himself must be making all these decisions about everybody's guilt, yet a massive tenet of the Corbyn investigation was that he shouldn't be getting involved in these decisions. Oh well let's just memory hole all that

This thread (and D&D more broadly, and SA more broadly again) is a little community, it's entirely natural that it sucks when a member of it dies. Even if you don't interact with someone much directly, it's all connected and the people you do interact with may interact with them etc. etc.. Also we're mostly a bunch of millennials and some zoomers, in our 20s through early 40s (No offense to our venerable elders!) so death isn't exactly a looming presence in our lives and though we've likely got familiarity with grandparents passing on, for someone in our own generation to go blindsides us. We're not fired up with the invincibility of youth anymore but it's still supposed to be a remote concern.

The Perfect Element posted:I love all the goons in this thread, and while I'd never attend a goon meet, I still like to imagine that it would basically resemble the Danebury Metal Detecting Club. I met both Goddamnedtwisto and Camrath at the same London goonmeet, that I organised, where Camrath debuted his fudge (and just before COVID hit - I was trying to get a D&D game going but obviously that never got off the ground). I may possibly be cursed or something.

Been lurking but reading daily since 2015. Was completely disengaged from politics but rode the jam man rollercoaster of hope with y'all along with the crushing realisation of 2019 that someone who actually wants to make things better will never be allowed near power. I've been depressed and disengaged ever since and my greatest hope for the '24 election is a hung parliament. Despite never personally interacting with either of them the loss of Twisto and Camrath still hit surprisingly hard. Much like happyhippy I think I'm getting made redundant first thing tomorrow after 15 years at the same place. Just Another Lurker posted:Generation X here and i had to go out and buy a loving ironing board last year because i'm going to a lot of funerals nowadays here in N.I. and i have to look somewhat presentable. Climate doom means we won't be getting funerals, bit of a relief tbh.

I'd like to hope so but it's 202X and I've no doubts they'll find a way to wriggle out of whatever legal obligations they might have. I'd also like to be completely wrong about the whole thing but the writing has been on the wall for awhile. Despite the business being massively profitable it's not profitable enough for our corporate overlords and their investors. Capitalism sucks yo.

The local Lidl has stopped accepting cash and all the staff are wearing bodycams. The posh locals here are a bit taken aback with the change, not realising that them voting conservative has meant that shoplifting and robberies are now at an all time high. It turns out it's a national initiative, and a part of Operation Pegasus.quote:Police have also reaffirmed their pledge to follow up on any evidence that could reasonably lead to catching a perpetrator. Forces will step up targeted hotspot patrols in badly affected areas. It sounds like a huge data mining operation. I don't know why, but I thought that facial recognition was banned in the UK, but alas: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/uk-police-face-recognition-expansion quote:In August 2020, the UK’s Court of Appeal ruled that South Wales Police’s use of LFR was unlawful. Since then, police forces using the technology say they have changed their procedures in response to the court decision, and the Home Office spokesperson says there is a “comprehensive legal framework in the UK” that requires police to use the technology only when it is “necessary, proportionate, and fair.” 'necessary, proportionate, and fair' is a very vague term.

Walked past Leicester train station yesterday afternoon and past a tall white guy with a shock of white hair talking some absolute bollocks about wind turbines to a shorter bald Black man with a beard. Midway through he broke conversation, waved enthusiastically at me and said "keep up the good work, we'll get them out" or similar. I gave a thumbs up, smiled, and continued walking as I didn't want any part of whatever the windmills are killing all the fish conversation was about. It was only a few minutes later that I realized it was almost certainly Leicester's most famous lizardman theorist son complimenting me on my political views.  Going to have to ask my family for the space laser codes now. Although given ^^^ I would have thought that "Lidl is using facial recognition to cut down on chorizo theft and bring in the cashless society" was moon iguana bullshit not too long ago.

It's so loving weak when they have to put 'funded by organised crime and probably also TERRORISTS' into press releases like that. They know nobody really gives a poo poo about shoplifting, but if they pretend the mafia are ordering little darren to steal a creme egg, all of a sudden it incites enough disgust to turn Big Sainsburys into a low-rent Judge Dredd cosplay. I was surprised last time I went in and didn't find what I was looking for, you need to now present a receipt to get out of any of the exits. So if you forget your wallet, sorry, you belong to Sainsburys now.

Bobby Deluxe posted:I sometimes think about suggesting getting a D&D game going because I'd like a new group to play with, but also I'm terrible at discord and roll 20 and all the decent ways of playing remotely. Tbh and having tried it, it's not the same experience as playing in person, anyway. Granted I work from home so the last thing I want to do after 40 hours a week of being on Teams or whatever is being on a voice call in my leisure time.

We deep cleaned the freezer for her one time and there were frozen chicken carcasses going back a decade or more. We binned them. The other thing she was always collecting was pots of fat (dripping). Any time you looked in the fridge and went "ooh a pot of cream" (because cream was a rare treat in the parental home) and opened it, it would be full of dripping. Fortunately her current home doesn't quite yet have a freezer only one of those titchy icebox things at the top of her under-the-counter fridge, and as it's just her there now, she rarely uses fat in cooking and only cooking for one so the opportunity to accumulate pots of fat has gone.
