Why did you think crocs had holes that size? Haricot are probably the most widely eaten bean in western (croc-wearing) food cultures, so it seems like an obvious design choice.

From what I heard, that flight did not go high enough to be in ‘space’ by the generally accepted definition, and also those passengers did not meet the criteria to be called astronauts (basically you need to do something while you’re up there for it to count).

Yes, that ‘void’ would still have fields running through it - electric, magnetic. Whatever the fuck gravity actually is.

The universe apparently has an edge, so maybe on the other side of that is the absolute nothingness? But does it really exist in any meaningful sense? If spatial dimensions themselves are part of what ends at the edge, there kind of isn’t an other side.

Maybe not really existing is part of the definition of absolute nothingness.

Have heard some great ones in Glasgow. The best part of you slid down the inside of yer mother’s leg.

Always finish a shower with cold water!

UK forestry (as far as I’ve seen) mostly consists of felling sitka spruce and lodgepole pine monocultures that were planted right after WW2 and never taken care of again. As a result the wood is shit quality and mostly goes for pulp/chipboard or biomass.

Higher grades of timber need to have straight grain and less knots, so that is achieved by selectively thinning out the forest maybe every 10 years, and pruning off lower branches. But this adds a lot of man-hours and cost, so I’ve never seen anyone doing that in UK. Tbf I haven’t been around the industry at all since COVID, and the price of timber went up so much maybe things are changing.

What do you think it shows?

The Sopranos!

He quizzed it did he? That’s a pretty serious step.

Yeah I think getting the attachment point down to your hips should help a lot. Less wasted energy working against gravity, and you’ll be applying force more directly with your legs, rather than using a lot of core strength.

What about it is too difficult? Is your harness hurting? Or is there a jarring sudden load with every step?

Thank you for that wonderful image of Sean.

I imagine you’re spending a lot of extra energy pulling up against the downwards component of the tension, and similar effects from the curved rigid cart handle. I agree with the comment that suggested a sled-pulling harness because more of your force would be in the direction you’re interested on.

Running a search uses far more resources (energy/ carbon footprint) than accessing a known url directly.

How’s it hangin’?

I’m so sure that this thing will happen, that I’m willing to make a bet whereby I’ll pay you dollars if it doesn’t happen, and you pay me donuts if it does. I feel like I’m getting free donuts and my dollars are not at risk.

A humerous combo of ‘Do bears shit in the woods?’ and ‘Is the Pope Catholic?’ Which are two jokey ways of saying ‘Yeah, obviously, duh’.

To clarify to your question, what’s inexpensive largely depends on what is already in your cupboards, but hitting those 4 areas will usually work out well.

I’ve seen a lot of good suggestions, but I wanted to point out the common theme that a marinade should have oil, salt, acid, and unami (savory/ meatiness). So for asian style maybe sesame oil, vinegar, Soy sauce (Soy sauce does salt + unami). Or my mum’s was orange juice, red wine, garlic, salt & pepper. I’d maybe add some Worcestershire sauce or olive brine for a bit extra unami, but smell it, taste it, go with your gut…

Interesting, what kind of jobs did you see that at in the uk? In my experience manual/ trades would try to finish up early on a Friday to go to the pub, but not have a beer at lunch then go back to work. And in offices it would be frowned on.

You didn’t used to be an MP by any chance?
