Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.

So, he's been left with egg on his face then?

I'll see myself out πŸ˜‰

Battlestar Galactica, the reboot not the original!

Or just watch The Expanse again. It's spoilt me for space scifi. Have watched (also bought bluray) it getting on for a dozen times now.

Currently trying Halo.

He's not a right wing infuencer, he's a sex offending rapist.

It is. Trump gets this piece. Putin gets this piece. And so on.

Europe needs to stand together on this and cut ties with USA.

Trump is a Russian asset.

I bet some of those affected voted for him or his minions as well.

[–] baggins@beehaw.org 4 points 1 month ago

Exactly, they voted him in. And don't give me this crap about protest votes or 'sat on their arse and couldn't be bothered' votes.

That's why the Grifter In Chief is sat in the White House now.

This is your life now, everything bad that happens will be blamed on his predecessors, never mind he is one of his own predecessors, the ignorant, and stupid orange muppet.

Pennyworth. Can't believe I never heard of this when it first came out. Am really enjoying it.

[–] baggins@beehaw.org 3 points 2 months ago

That's the bit I don't understand either.

No security or monitoring? No warnings about digging or mining?

And yet I keep hearing from nuclear fans that there's nothing to worry about and that it's safe. And how is this cheaper than renewable. That place has to be maintained and secured for 100,000 years.

If we put that onto our timeline, we were just getting out of Africa and using stone tools.

That's not the sort of gift we should be leaving our descendents. Okay we have to deal with what we have, but we shouldn't be making any more of the stuff. Because there will be an accident somewhen down the line.

And by his lack of action, let them in. 'Sleepy Joe' seems rather an apt moniker, although not for the Mango Mussolini's reasons.

 

My daughter is visiting and left her case open.

 

Mum! There's a submarine driving down the road!

 

Rewatching The Expanse for the nth time. It always cracks me up to see Bobby Draper stuffing those cucumber sandwiches into her face. Do you want some?

Probably not what you're expecting - but the fact that the once iconic 'British' car is now made in China.

I spent many hours under the hood of my MGB GT :-(

 

😒

 

Am trying to make a dark rye loaf like you'd find on a stall or in a shop. Not the really dense 'pumpernickel' style but round or oblong tin shaped.

Have tried various percentages of strong dark rye, muscovado sugar and black treacle but the loaf is still not that dark. I did try some cocoa in one loaf but that just gave an odd colour.

Am using a Panasonic bread machine and in over 5 years it's only ever produced a couple of duff loaves - which were down to me (forgetting yeast, mixer blade or water) and often use it for the dough function and then finish in oven. Am not averse to resorting to full manual though if needed.

Any ideas?

TIA

My daughter is studying Creative Writing and English Literature at Birmingham (UK) University. She's put together some pieces on Substack. Most of them are over my head, but this one hits right in the feels. Apart from a couple of technical inaccuracies, it's spot on. Hope you like it ;-)

 

The best of both worlds.

Lunch will be one of these filled with homemade hummus and salad.
