escapegoat posted:**Roast Dinner Veg Tier List** Putting sweet potato and swede anywhere near a roast dinner, honestly. I audibly tutted when I read your post, that’s how strongly I feel about it. Putting carrots so low on the list suggests to me that you’ve never had lovely roasted carrots, I do mine with a bit of honey and rosemary, they’re great.

Z the IVth posted:6. Keep uncovered in fridge overnight and take out 1 hr before cooking. This is the key step: I have done the Z the IVth method as well, and because I am a dweeb, I systematically removed individual steps that seemed like too much effort to understand which were absolutely critical and which ones made a smaller incremental improvement, and this is the number one that makes the biggest difference. What I do is: Score the skin with a very sharp knife, down to the fat, without going through it and into the meat (I like to cross hatch, but I also have a spiky thing that punches holes, and it works equally well, but doesn't allow you to snap off nice strips) Salt the skin (not too heavily, but quite a bit of salt) and rub it in (absolutely no oil, that is the way to gently caress up crackling) Leave uncovered in the fridge overnight Start the cooking at the highest temperature your oven can manage and turn it down after 15m, turn it back up for the last 15m of cooking

One thing that has been bugging me since I heard about the ban on the Abaya: do French school children typically wear uniform? If not, is there anything to stop non-Muslims wearing an abaya to school?

Private Speech posted:It's considered a religious symbol and all religious symbols are banned in schools in France (no uniforms though). Yeah, but I’m not a Muslim, if I wear a nice long flowing dress that keeps me covered up, what’s the religious symbolism of that? It’s nonsensical to ban clothing on those grounds. I would understand if most children were wearing uniform and some were disobeying uniform rules to wear different clothing on religious grounds. I know it’s French institutional Islamophobia, but I just didn’t understand from any of the reporting whether it was uniform enforcement or simple intolerance

The Question IRL posted:Edit: Having watched that video he has gone full "Scamdemic." Holy poo poo, not only has he gone full tinfoil hat, he stops mid video to talk about how he didn't kill himself. I think you doing a video on YouTube is plenty proof that you didn't kill yourself at some point. I don’t understand how the idiots who support these lunatic conspiracy theorists explain away the fact that their rabid public figures aren’t dead. If they are really so powerfully exposing the secret cabal that controls everything, how come the secret cabal has left them alive to expose them?

If he had instantly apologised and said he got caught up in the moment or something like that, people would probably have shaken their heads and thought he was a bit of a tit, but OK, whatever. Instead he thought he should fight back against it, because god forbid admitting you made a mistake and have learned to be better, that would be WEAK.

Fucks sake, I know it was leaked ahead of time, but I am really angry about rolling back sustainability initiatives in favour of courting gammons. Is there a more indicative symptom of how loving poo poo everything is than Rishi Sunak deliberately abandoning policies specifically aimed at actually improving things to go after winning the votes of a socially illiterate bunch of boomer cunts who hate everyone and everything that doesn’t personally enrich them?

Lord Ludikrous posted:Its especially stupid because a great deal of population centres in the UK already are 15 minute cities. I saw people protesting fifteen minutes cities when I was driving through Wallington the other day. Wallington! For those of you not familiar with the suburban sprawl inside the M25, Wallington is nearly the dictionary definition of what a fifteen minute community would look like, it was a village, it’s been subsumed into Greater London, and literally the only thing you can’t get within fifteen minutes is a pint for under a fiver

Your class is not in fact dependent on anything you do in your life, it’s what your parents did. You can’t change your own class, only that of your children. It’s also not about owning property or capitalising off the labour of others, there are plenty of working class people who do that. It’s all artificial and designed to keep people in their station, so we don’t rise up against our real enemy, aristocracy and royalty.

Otherwise one side will compare a situation to a story from their own literary tradition that the other has no access to, leaving them baffled and confused by “bullshit they don’t understand”

They could make some genuinely radical changes to the way we function as a country, but instead they prefer to pretend that capital can only be apportioned by the Tories, and that investing in infrastructure and people isn't a net gain.
