Do you put your milk on instant coffee first to stop the water from burning it?

Do you cafetiere? Aeropress? Percolate? Sieve over a pan? Drip Filter?

Lol at "just" drink coffee like the process is any less open to interpretation.

Open jar, 7 teaspoons of it in a cup, fill cup to brim of just boiled water, drink.
Milk in coffee is just as bad as drinking decaff.

I would like to say I drink hot chocolate instead, but what I actually do is ask for a hot chocolate and suffer through the flavourless hot water that your standard cafe serves and calls "hot chocolate" because they know that they will never get enough customers who give a poo poo about hot chocolate to make it remotely worth their while to care about the quality of hot chocolate

In Belfast the coffee shop chain Bewleys used to do hot chocolates to die for.
It may has well been poured melted chocolate into a cup, it was that good.
And it had a marshmallow that when added made it gragghggggghgggg*homer drool*

A few years ago at work someone posted on our #tech slack channel that he was working from home. A couple of hours later he posts another message, all it said was "pornhub.com". It was deleted like a minute later but a few of us saw it and just looked on in horror. It was glorious.

Our office is open planned, has a lot of windows both outside and 'inside' to the inner corridors and such.
So a guy who thought no one was watching decided to load up porn and started trouser twitching.
It was dark outside, so the windows reflected his screen back onto the rest of the floor.
Manager saw the reflection, tapped him on the shoulder, and just said 'Just go home'.

Speaking of, I have around 50 or so spiders living on my back wall and window, with most of it covered in webs and eggs. I've never seen spiders live so close to one another as thought they were quite territorial, but this group seem to work together and have caught hundreds of flies. I've watched them and they seem to respect each others space and not steal food or anything, it's quite strange really.

Spider communism.

I think most web making spiders cant see that distant, so cant see another nearby. When they get close they may get into fighting.
Maybe why they use their legs to feel the web vibrations and not seeing them on it.
Now wolf spiders would love this wall buffet if they find it on their roaming about.

As a kid at my grandmothers detached house, one wall would be full of butterfly cocoons. Absolutely beautiful.
Now alas none as they are rare as poo poo.

Sensible talk now please.

I think we should attack Dublin first using submarines, seeing thats the main hub of communication for the Republic and it will hard to counter against.
Level RTE studios and army bases at once, then the Dail, then the main council buildings in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Waterford, Sligo and any others that seem to have any gatherings over the next few days.

At the end of the first day troops can land anywhere on the east side of Ireland and a foothold can be established for the rest.

Look whose more organized than the UK.

https://www.thelocal.fr/20190816/updated-no-deal-checklist-for-britons-in-france

It has a comprehensive list on what to do but this is one part to notice:

quote:

Firstly, Schengen Border Code rules mean that existing passports which were renewed early and therefore have over 10 years validity will no longer be valid right up to the expiry date written on the passport, but will be limited to the 10 years immediately after their issue date. For example, if your passport was renewed (under the old rules) 6 months before its expiry date, it would show a valid period of 10 years and 6 months. After Brexit day, you will effectively 'lose' the last 6 months validity, as third country nationals' passports must have been issued within the last 10 years. Note: this may affect you even if you don't travel - in order to remain a legal resident in France you need to make sure that the issue date on your passport is later than exactly 10 years before Brexit day.

Meaning if you have less than 6 months on your passport come October, you are hosed.
Wonder how many UKers know this.

Another funny thing to note, it links the UKs page on this too. The UKs page still lists March 29th as the leave date. Nice to see the gov is on the ball.
