Huh so my girlfriend and I just found out that now they're only letting one person per couple/household into supermarkets at a time. Guess I'll sit in the car then!!!

I've become a true coffee snob over the last year. I was fine with instant coffee but have slowly moved over to now having freshly ground pour over coffee and holy poo poo is it night and day. I ran out of coffee beans last week and had to go back to instant for a couple of days and it loving sucks.

UnquietDream posted:If you can, and fair if you can't but quite a lot of the coffee places around me have been doing deliveries and I've lapped that up. Partially because good coffee but also because I really really want the locally owned coffee shop in Cardiff that I am habitually at to still be there when this ends. I've got one of those online coffee subscription things and it's been great. I just had to up the frequency of it since working from home! Saves me having to go out and get it for sure.

Anyone who hates spending too much time cooking should really invest in a slow cooker. They're cheap (i got mine for like £25) and you just chuck in all the ingredients in it in the morning and it's done by dinner time. Sometimes you should brown the meat before putting it in but apart from that, that's all there is to it. I've made some really tasty curries, goulash, pulled pork and loads more in it.

Guavanaut posted:I get what you're saying, but the wording here tickled me. Ha! Yeah luckily you're not the one cooking so you can forget about it until you get the wonderful smell of your future dinner filling the house. I'd never had goulash before owning a slow cooker and it owns. Like someone said earlier, smoked paprika rules.

Before you go about banning air travel it might be better banning cargo ships since the top 15 of them produce as much pollution as all cars on earth.

minema posted:I was just saying that everyone should try to fly less, I wasn't suggesting enforcing limits. All I meant was that if you emigrate to another country you should accept you won't be able to see your family as often as you would have otherwise. Like most things in life even if we as regular people flew less it is all completely negated by the super rich and their private fleets of planes. So probably best to focus on them first before going after the proles.

goddamnedtwisto posted:Right but you're still talking at the very most a few thousand planes which spend most of their time sitting in a hangar having hooker blood hosed out of them - compared to the carbon footprint of even a small regional airline it's a rounding error. Like I say, concentrate on how they get their money, not what they do with it - it makes no loving difference if the Koch family all start taking the train tomorrow compared to the colossal footprint of the companies they own. Basically what I'm trying to say is that yes it's a class thing not a mode of transport thing.

OwlFancier posted:I don't think that travelling to other places does that (especially not brits traveling abroad) or that the primary inhibitor of "global social development" is a lack of cross cultural pollenation. Have you been abroad at all? Genuine question. Also, not all Brits abroad are the stereotypical gammons you see in Spain.

I was on an air india flight a few years ago and the attendant came over 2/3rds of the way into the flight and asked me if I wanted a drink, I asked for a beer and then they asked, "Another one?", so I said uuh sure, took it, then they said "Another one?" again and I ended up with 3 beers at once without even needing to ask.
