I would really love to try the Quebec type. Hopefully one day I will fetch to Canada to have the real stuff.

Fantastic advice, thank you!

Are cheese curds easy to make? I would really like to make pouting but I won’t be able to get the curds round here. Or is there a good substitute that’s easier to acquire?

It’s so exhausting!

And when I do peak, you’ll know. Because I’m gonna peak so hard that everybody in Philadelphia’s gonna feel it.

This was me for years. I probably have undiagnosed autism. But I’ve learnt the rules for most interactions now and know how to appear normal, how much eye contact is ok, what to make my face do, etc.

I do slip up sometimes, and I do wish I could be me around people more.

I love my induction hob for all the reasons you mention. It is by far the best hob I’ve used - much better than gas - and I cook a lot. The only slight downside is ensuring you have the right pans, but they’re widely available. My enamelled cast iron casserole pot works a treat.

My dad (who is wearing near identical shoes as I write this) will tell you that you don’t wear socks with these. I wouldn’t call him an authority on style though.

Also, why are 5 nouns and the 6th is an adjective (or past tense of a verb)? I hate that DEDICATED is there more than ASSASSIN. Also, word art is naff.

Another recommendation is Joe Abercrombie. His First Law series scratched the ASOIAF itch for me as is is similarly gritty. The full series is 2 trilogies with 3 “stand alone” novels inbetween them, and a book of short stories.

Also Preston Jacobs on YouTube is working on a collaborative alternative Winds of Winter. I really enjoyed their Alayne chapter.

It’s from above and he has an ottoman pushed underneath with cushions on. The hammock is suspended but he was a bit unsure at first so it helped him to get up.

Can we get this man some help. Not saying he’s not an absolute wanker - that’s a given - but isn’t anyone close to him concerned about his mental health?

He’s fallen out with the leader of the far-right Reform UK now, because, apparently that frog-faced fuck Farage does have a line in the sand (at least for appearances’ sake), and isn’t comfortable with Musk’s support for fascist thug “Tommy Robinson”.

Hopefully this means no donation (bribe) to Reform UK, but I’m sure that piece of shit will continue to try and fuck with our democracy.

I know right? Really annoying.

Ha sorry, I realise I missed out pertinent information! They have it set to auto-rotate and I can’t turn it off.

My work laptop/ tablet thingy doesn’t give me permission to control rotation, otherwise I would be doing this. Chronic pain and fatigue means I sometimes just need to lie down during work. Luckily I can use speech to text.

1, I used to work for this company when I was young and had no idea what my rights were. They very much took advantage of this, such as calling me in on an hour’s notice on my days off.

2, The Raw Egg Nationalist is a right-wing twat. https://hopenothate.org.uk/2024/06/20/egg-sposed-we-reveal-the-identity-of-far-right-bodybuilder-the-raw-egg-nationalist/

That’s so weird - I heard about, for the first time, and looked up this ice-cream only this morning. There was a failed petition to change the name, which generated a number of counter petitions.

I have everything I need for a Nadja of Antipaxos costume, but I don’t think we’re going anywhere.

My girl cat slept on top of me all night. I’m now hurting from not being able to change position while sleeping. (I guess I could have moved, but she’s too sweet to disturb)
