Even then it's mostly just Cayenne. Flashbacks to going out for a curry after work with an american guest who ordered "the spiciest curry" and then immediately regretting it. We had to order him a mango lassi to take the edge off and even then he swapped with someone for a milder effort.

Oh do fuck off with that middle class bullshit. Both Aldi and Lidl both cary great spice ranges. Looking down on them because they're "budget" says way more about you than it does about anyone who shops there.

I'm assuming it's the indian versions in which case Sainsbury's used to carry gunpowder ages ago. French mix not so much but the component spices aren't exactly esoteric for UK supermarkets.

Sure would be a surprise if a regime that has been preparing for his death for the last 20 years found another hardliner to replace him near instantly....

So Reform has been hating on Muslims and people of colour in general since their very inception, but now they've lost, they have an issue with "Sectarian voting". What in fuck does he think white supremacy is if not sectarian?

Welp, American TV drama, it was a good run. Shame we're looking at the end of it now. Tedious sub NCIS bullshit with nothing even vaguely interesting or representative will be out for the next decade or so.

An excellent shout for the weirdest British music reference in west coast hiphop piped to a very close second by the fact the 70's/80's cockney duo Chas and Dave (famous for such greats as Gertcha, Rabbit and Snooker Loopy) performed the Guitar and Bass on Eminem: My Name Is.

Tbh this is why I think we’re so far away from an AGI. If we can’t define intelligence any more than having our pattern recognition focused brains fooled by it, how can we possibly build it.

But for some reason tech bros (and young scientists of many fields) seem to fixate of the type of analytical and β€œlogical” way of thinking as the only form of intelligence. The way they think so little of creatives through their derivative AI models is proof of this if further proof were needed.

It’s not even like we have a good working definition of what intelligence actually is in humans. Being good at music is clearly a form of intelligence. Being able to write compellingly is obvs intelligence of another form. I’d even argue that CHA is a form of emotional intelligence.

Oh the execution is terrible I grant you but I’m wary nonetheless. Mumsnet is prime territory for this too.

Tbf that was true about trans people before the American right funded it as an astroturfed wedge issue.

4 adults biking in a contraflow lane with a white car about to turn left

 Every leader should be required to ride a bike (if able) with a 6 year old before they provide any direction on bike infrastructure.

Years ago we had the mayor bike to school with my then 6 year old, within the first :30 seconds they were almost hit by a driver on live TV. Every leader should be required to ride a bike (if able) with a 6 year old before they provide any direction on bike infrastructure

Garmin refuses to put Skateboarding as a sport it tracks so i fut it as cardio. It tracks calorie burn but im more interested in heart rate changes over time. Average and peak have both been dropping steadily over the last 9 months even as Ive been skating for longer sessions.

This is by far the best cover I've heard of this song, and let's face it, theres been a few. Jer (@skatunenetwork.bsky.social) absolutely killing it here. To paraphrase PIL, Anger in a Major Key!

Iirc less than 1/2 of the UK actually use ties as Christian. I wonder if they’ve considered how they could eject 35million people let alone what the implications are for the countries infrastructure or economy

It’s simultaneously so anti Hollywood and also a perfect encapsulation of the hurry up and wait that is life on set.

ACDC are not and have never been punk. This is not slagging them off, they are the pinnacle of Oz Rock and perfect for it.
