DesperateDan posted:Doing your own fruit wines out of cheap fruit juice beats beer brewing on terms of cost and effort- literally throw all the ingredients in a suitable container, leave in a warm dark place till it stops bubbling, put in bottles and await liver disease. Orrr just make proper cider. Take apple juice without preservatives, add some kind of brewing yeast (I like champagne), wait. It's literally how you make even the non-prison kind of cider; no boiling or hops or w/e to worry about.

DesperateDan posted:look I'm not sure how it all works exactly but I planted the apple trees and they are growing but last year I had a grand total of about a dozen apples The 'no preservatives' bit is more about how the cheap type sometimes has those and they'll gently caress with your yeast, rather than concerns about the taste.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:I was wondering last night if they could somehow repurpose it for the many hundreds of people who have lost their jobs in hospitality etc let alone the existing homeless and now living on the streets in London - not ideal but better than nothing. Wasn't that another government promise? Get all the homeless off the streets by April 1st or something like that? They absolutely haven't. I still pass homeless people on my way to ASDA.

Cerv posted:Asked why voters turned away from Labour in droves in the last election, he says: “The leadership of the Labour party was [the] number one [reason], fair or unfair.” Actually, it doesn't. fair or unfair is what he said. Also, um, Brexit? Or would it be awkward for the guy who was 100% FBPE 'back Remain now Jezza' to admit that?

Trin Tragula posted:I think the calculus is along the lines of "Corbyn lost that election far more than Boris won it, he's an idiot who'll drag us all down if we let him, he'll serve his purpose by absorbing the heat after he's hosed everything up, and then I shall ride in to the rescue as a steady, sensible hand". If that happens I think it's more likely to be after Brexit has happened and proven not to be 'oven ready' tbh. Unless they think turbo Remainer Keir Starmer would have somehow retained those East Midlands seats.

The Question IRL posted:Now Brioche is a type of sweet bread, and could be translated as cake. But it’s also something that is really cheap and easy to make and has been for quite some time. (As long as it doesn’t have chocolate in it, that’s what makes it more expensive.). I'm not sure it's any cheaper than a plain sponge cake. It's enriched with eggs so it's not 'flour+water+yeast' which is what would have been actually cheap back then. Edit: also a poo poo-ton of butter which was likewise not cheap back in the day (or indeed now). feedmegin fucked around with this message at 11:17 on May 12, 2020 |

josh04 posted:The kitchen tap in our flat pretty consistently has to run for 1-2 minutes while the output gets warmer and warmer before you get any cold, I'd assumed it was a terrible piping job that was doing laps around the boiler, but could it be this sort of thing? My kitchen 'mixer' tap kind of does the opposite...you have a binary choice between BOILING LAVA and cold at the best of times, but if you want the latter you've still got to wait about 30 seconds for all the BOILING LAVA to fall out of it apparently.

Prince John posted:He got 61% of the black vote in South Carolina, 58% in Texas, 60% in Virginia, 62% in North Carolina and 72% in Alabama. He's crushing Bernie among that demographic, apparently just because he was Obama's VP. It's not just that. Bernie is viewed as dubiously supportive on race by especially older black people, going back to his previous run, and also theres the whole 'only a Democrat when it suits him' thing. Bernie having a problem with getting black votes is not new and is not because of Biden.

ronya posted:the UK might get a discussion about that in short order... the new points-based system is very generous on highly qualified English-speakers, of that dread politically-conscious middle-class professional sort, and of course people from the British Commonwealth are already entitled to vote (and run!) in UK elections I note also that eg Nigeria and India have a whole load of English speakers. Possibly not what Mrs Blue Rinse of Tunbridge Wells had in mind...

frankenbeans posted:I recently got a bunch of stuff flagged on youtube that I uploaded over 10 years ago. I made a few Eve Online videos back in 2004-ish, and uploaded them to youtube in 2008-9, I think. They were fine for a decade then a few people started watching them and before I knew it I was getting warnings. It's entirely understandable, because I pretty much used entire tracks start to finish. Zombies by the Cranberries still hasn't been flagged though. I assume Little Bees is still fine  Edit: skullhead does sound rather close to totenkopf which obviously has dodgy associations...

It's amazing how quickly IRA-related charities and fundraising organisations suddenly became outlawed terrorist organisations after 9/11.
