It's quite easy to get advice here, just follow these steps: 1) Share pictures of your current situation 2) Describe what changes you want to make 3) Get loads of careful, detailed advice from goons 4) Saw through all the structural supports in your bathroom 5) Commence meltdown

There's something grimly amusing about the papers reporting "biggest rise in cases/deaths EVER" every few days as if its a discrete event completely separated from everything beforehand. Media's always had a short memory, but its almost instantaneous now.

I'm feeling very depressed by this, and depressed by my limited ability to react to it. Like, this is naked, unashamed hypocrisy. But pointing that out doesn't achieve anything - the powerful shits in power are gonna continue being shits. So much of this thread and associated lefty-media (Novara, Trashfuture, Citations Needed etc) is about how disingenuous and corrupt the political discourse is. And I can;t blame them/us, we're saturated in it, and criticising the discourse is both fun and important, but I feel like that's all we have, all we can do is call Nero out for fiddling, can't do anything about Rome burning. I feel so loving powerless.

What pisses me off is Raab's loving "oh he's totally fine, running the country from his hospital bed, just hasn't bothered to check in with his deputy" nonsense is clearly bollocks. They could have refused to update us, could have just asked for privacy. But instead they lied and nobody's gonna call them out on it.

feedmegin posted:I did History at Oxford and in my time at least, lectures were strictly optional. I think I went to, like, two, both in my first year. You get your essay topic and reading list, you go to the library and get your books, you read them and write your essay, you go to the tutorial and read it out to your tutor, and then he eviscerates you for an hour or so. Lather, rinse and repeat for three years. You forgot the lifelong trauma!

goddamnedtwisto posted:https://twitter.com/Otto_English/status/1249000989929156608 When Diane Abbot says something dumb she tends to stumble, and there's always a moment of "hang on is that what I meant?". Priti Patel, just says dumb stuff, and then repeats with talismanic confidence. When she was arguing about the death penality on QT she kept talking about "maximum burden of proof" which makes me think that she just doesn't know what the words mean. But because she (and Raab) are much more polished in their delivery they don't get called out for it.

Drone_Fragger posted:I think my favourite one is that a lot of store brand foods are made by the exact same factories as the branded stuff but don’t pass quality control to get into the branded boxes but do pass the quality control to be edible, so they sell them to supermarkets instead. Many years ago I came across an amazing transitional fossil - a morrisons rice pudding tub, with a tesco lid. Blew my mind.

^^Anthony Bourdain posted:Garlic is divine. Few food items can taste so many distinct ways, handled correctly. Misuse of garlic is a crime. Old garlic, burnt garlic, garlic cut too long ago and garlic that has been tragically smashed through one of those abominations, the garlic press, are all disgusting. Please treat your garlic with respect. Sliver it for pasta, like you saw in Goodfellas; don't burn it. Smash it, with the flat of your knife blade if you like, but don't put it through a press. I don't know what that junk is that squeezes out the end of those things, but it ain't garlic. And try roasting garlic. It gets mellower and sweeter if you roast it whole, still on the clove, to be squeezed out later when it's soft and brown. Nothing will permeate your food more irrevocably and irreparably than burnt or rancid garlic. Avoid at all costs that vile spew you see rotting in oil in screw-top jars. Too lazy to peel fresh? You don't deserve to eat garlic. His Divine Shadow posted:If there is one gadget for the kitchen that looks fiddly and pointless it must be the apple-lathe. But when you got kids who like themselves some apples but not the peel, they are incredibly handy. Ours have peeled hundreds of apples by now. Also they're a really fun way to eat apples.

BizarroAzrael posted:Has anyone been baking? I've been taking a look at getting be started with sourdough but besides getting the starter going it seems to call for a lot more equipment than I expected. I keep reading I should use a Dutch oven (lol) but will any heavy metal lidded dish do? I don't really want to get this stuff and have to move it out of my dad's in a few months. I make my sourdough in a cake tin with a tray of water in the bottom of the oven. No need for fancy stuff. (There is probably need for an actual bread tin)

Ratjaculation posted:Isn't the impact of IT higher than that of flying now? And not just because of the virus But think of the different amount of time people invest into it. IT is just there as a background thing in our lives, which makes it a lot harder to get rid off compared to flying, which is a nice descrete activity that you only do infrequently.

The Monarch posted:I can't think of, and I've never heard proposed, a way to limit "frivolous" air travel without also restricting immigration. I don't think you can pick and choose who gets freedom of movement, so if you want people to be able to escape terrible regimes or economic collapses you have to accept people moving south because they're sick of jumpers. Two birds with one stone: Build loads of trains with antiair rocket launchers on top.
