Stopped for lunch on the way back from LARPCon. Mrs A, your stepdad found me! Gave them the best deal of all weekend. :)

Finished at more than double my original targets and even smashed my self imposed stretch goal. I can’t stop grinning tbh.

I’ll be announcing new flavours and a new Goon Special in the next couple of days, so keep your eyes open!

Yeah he happily showed me the bounty! Thanks so much for the extra, very cool and good of you :D

The fudge absolutely whips rear end. My step-dad likes fudge and it meets with his (and my) approval, and my mom doesn't like fudge but I got her to try a little bit and even she likes it.

Congrats on a successful weekend of fudge vending!! It's on the back of an extremely good product so very much deserved.

The company that makes that is a few miles down the road from me. Can confirm that it is a real farm and also that is a real tower on the packaging

I don't like their mash though, too dry.

After Granda died, my Granny Sadie moved to Newtownards, so when I was a kid and stayed with her every time school was off for more than a week, I'd fly into Belfast City and we'd get a taxi home and the best moments of my childhood were the first glimpse of Scrabo Tower because then I knew I was home, at least for a little while. :3:

It has always struck me how the thing looks out of place in pleasant weather. It looks positively in its element set against grey, forboding skies. It also has a light on top for to... scare away the aeroplanes that gives it a definite eye of sauron vibe at night

I loving hated having to stay with my Auntie Georgina if Granny couldn't get time off work to exactly match up with my arrival, because the room I stayed in there was like, right at the foot of the hill and the window was high up and had no curtain, so Scrabo Tower's terrible red eyes just loving stared down at me and bored into my nightmares.

theyve said alot about old people dying better from corona virus. Is it the same for babies and children?

Don't think it hits babbies and kids especially hard, thankfully.

Also, I don't think it'd be that hard to quarantine a city for a short time, because most people are going to obey the authorities when it's about a viral outbreak. The problems will emerge if the lockdown lasts beyond a certain time and things start running out in homes and whatever stores remain open.

Sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide will violently react to produce plentiful oxygen gas and sodium chloride salt. The heat of this will boil the ethanol out of an alcohol/water mixture. It probably won't explode directly, and hypochlorite is alkaline which would protect the ethanol from being directly attacked by the peroxide, but if you mixed all three in a bucket it would give you a cloud of oxygen and ethanol vapor, which is a good setup for a fuel-air explosion if there's a source of ignition nearby.

A sufficiently large such explosion would certainly clean your bum, at least!

lol given how Biden often acts towards randos the only reason they're so confident about switching formats like this, with rando members of the public rather than professional moderators asking the questions, is because the fix continues to be in and it's going to be massively rigged.

epididymitis

it is extremely not fun, but at least I'm probably not going to lose it

I was a bit blasé when the nurse asked if I cared if I saw a male doctor (even if I was bothered, I'm not sure how prudish you'd have to be to voluntarily wait longer to have a man examine your swollen ball) but I wasn't expecting her to be (probably) younger than me which was a little disconcerting tbh

I suppose the fact several of my friends are now junior doctors should have prepared me for the concept, though

When I needed my phimosis dealt with a few years ago, I obviously had to see a specialist before they'd actually determine the best course of action and stuff. I was surprised to find the penis inspector was a very cute woman.

Testicle pain yay!

For real. I had proper flu once and it was poo poo. If you don't feel like you've been hit by a truck (and I mean, literally - all of your muscles, joints and bones ache and you have zero energy at all) then it's probably not the flu.

I remember in Year 5 the Head telling some kid with really quite cruel scorn that they were not off school the day before because of the flu because the flu would not keep you away for one day and see you fairly healthy on either side of it.

I mean, he was right, but the kid was ten, there was no need to be a twat to a ten year old about it in front of the rest of us when they were definitely just repeating what their mum had said or whatever.

Thing with Bernie vs. Biden is it's not just Left vs. Center or Right, it's that Biden's brain is so transparently melted and so utterly, utterly unsuited for any kind of office or, frankly, anything more than assisted living.

His brain's way further gone than Trump's, and Trump's brain is extremely filled with holes bored by worms.

Anyone who putatively cares about America or the Democrats should feel impelled to vote for Bernie even if they disagree on every single one of his actual policies because it's vastly more important to get someone who is at minimum aware of where they are when they wake up in the morning. Christ, Trump might be a rampaging narcissist who has only failed to start WW3 because of his own incredible cowardice, but at least he doesn't seem inclined to start it because he thinks it's 1982 and the reds are making intimidating manuevers in the Carpathians, or whatever the hell Biden is going to believe when he presses the button.

Last chance saloon is the final debate, and when I say "last chance saloon" I mean, like, not just for the Bernie campaign but ultimately for the Dems, for the USA, and for any kind of effort against climate change. e; Galling thing is that it's not really in Bernie's hands it's whether Biden has a meltdown so spectacular that it ruins him.

I have to assume that they are assuming the doctors are working with mostly people already infected (And thus are unlikely to be giving it out to folks) and as golden bubble said, when a health service is under that much strain they can't spare them to sit it out and get better at home.

As I said in the covid thread proper a day or two ago, this outbreak should firmly put to rest any notion that we could stop a zombie apocalypse because we're collapsing in the face of a nasty, but not exactly world-ending, respiratory disease that hasn't even been found in 150,000 people yet.

Part of the reason ebola is not as contagious as it could be is exactly because it is highly lethal, it kills people too reliably for them to go around infecting others.

I'm not even a little bit able to understand the supposed logic of doing it this way. Even assuming perfect knowledge and timing, I don't understand the ostensible benefits of delaying a shutdown. I'm sure the real reason is number go down, but what is the fig leaf they are offering?

If it was me and I had a few days I would spend the time drawing down what we could over those days, sorting out legislation and directives to deal with things like people's mortgages and small business payrolls, and helping distribute essential supplies equitably for an impending lockdown, while trying to get information out about what is being done and what a lockdown would entail.

That's just me, a random slut, though. I'm sure the highly educated Oxbridge people in the government have much better plans.
