I’ll never forget passing my local chippy when I lived in Edinburgh and seeing they’d handwritten “almost” on the “WE WILL DEEP FRY ANYTHING” sign.

If you’re going to go to the pubs for British food don’t do it in London. Don’t do it in a city at all, to be honest, all the really good ones are out in tiny villages or the middle of a moor.

I can’t think of any dough that would end up like wonder bread, you should have gone full Karen. Granny smiths stewed with sugar (and optionally spices) in a short crust case is the right way to do it, though they did get the smothered in custard until soggy bit right.

The calypso twins in Borderlands 3. The streamer schtick got old quickly, and the game just took control away from you whenever they showed up so they could act with impunity. They were just annoying and kind of whiny so the “sympathetic” backstory didn’t do anything for me. I remember the final boss being deeply unimpressive after all the build up, too.

4 words: roll for anal circumference.

Many British laws consist of a blanket ban with exemptions rather than the American assumption of legality unless specifically banned. So knives that are legal to carry/legal reasons for carrying a knife are all exemptions rather than an assumed norm.

There are already plenty of “best [genre] bands” listicles, why would you need an llm to read them for you?

I finally managed to break out of 3 months of Angine de Poitrine yesterday. Definitely a record for my musical obsessions.

A hinged vertical bike hanger can save a lot of room, particularly if you mount it in a corner.

Maybe someone’s finally solved it over the past few years, but he was telling me that automating apple harvests was still a massive challenge about 5 years ago - there are/were machines to pick up fallen apples and robots for picking them individually, but you can’t easily shake all the apples off a mature tree for collection and a human can pick them from the branch far more quickly than a robot. From what I can see online there’s one that does it for young trees, but most of them are still glorified cherry-pickers.

Afaik it’s mostly medium-large fruits that still get harvested by hand. I knew a Norwegian guy who developed the ideal bodybuilder physique just from picking apples for a few seasons.

You mean Tetsuya Nomura?

Ben Garrison is a satirical artist who portrays good things as being wanted by “sickos” in opposition to the hyper conservative characters in his cartoons.

This is tremendously funny, you just lack context.

The only times I’ve had fun in pvp games/modes was when I was playing with a group of people I knew.

Thinking about it you’re sort of right, in that I enjoy playing stuff like Smash Bros and Mario Kart with my friends, but even then I have no interest in competing, I just find ways to annoy everyone else. I might win as a side effect of being annoying, but I’m just asking likely to be hoisted by my own petard, and I consider both good results.

"can you get pregnant,” then that leaves out important information, such as “I have ovaries and should be screened for ovarian cancer.”

They know you have ovaries if you can get pregnant. From an outside perspective it definitely looks like you’re just being argumentative rather than discussing it from a position of knowledge.

Not really, I always preferred stuff that involved a group. The closest I get is board and card games, but they have an element of randomness that takes away the individual competition and makes it more of a social activity.

I have a strong preference for co-operative games, so I don’t really understand the attraction of non-team based PvP games like battle royales, extraction shooters, or just straight death matches like in quake or CoD. Like why would you want to be cold and alone with everyone out to get you when you could have friends.

I found the timing really difficult too, so I found a mod that slightly increases the dodge/parry window (something like 0.2s to 0.3s for parries) and suddenly I could reliable dodge and parry most attacks. Still requires precise timing, but now it’s a precise timing I can actually hit.

Well yeah, because there are claims that happened in the same way there are claims that aliens built the pyramids: it’s completely imagined and based on no actual evidence.

It’s a lot easier to lose nukes when you have tens of thousands than it is if you have up to 60.
