You're using the soap to then rinse out the oil you've added (very much an old lady who swallowed the fly sorta job), instead you can use put some rolled up kitchen paper in with soapy water and put the lid on, give it a shake and that also clears stains in no time.

The whole point of soap is that it makes non-water soluble stuff soluble in water, like, that's their entire purpose, that's what they do and *how* they do it. For this to work you'd be better off using oil *without* soap, you're just hoping it's oleophilic enough to go in straight oil.

Let’s take a look at the whole “there are too many black people on TV” thing, shall we?

After Pochin claimed Black people in TV adverts “made her mad”, all her supporters tried to use 👇🏼 as their excuse for why she was somehow justified in her overt racism.

Spoiler - she isn’t! 🤨

That's not to say they're bad, a "bad" Discworld book is still like 7.5/10, so I'll enjoy it, but I'm interested to see if 10 or so years have changed me enough to influence how I take this one in, I have a suspicion it might've.

Managed to accidentally time starting that Discworld subscription in a way that meant yesterday afternoon I had Wyrd Sisters delivered, pretty serendipitous if you ask me. Back in the day the witch books weren't my favourites, I like the characters but I didn't care much for the stories.

I've seen the clip of Onuoha's goal some thousand times this week and the more I saw it the more convinced I was that we could do it again, I'd bet Le Bris sat the team down on Monday, put that video on repeat and just made them sit for 10 hours a day watching it. Absolute magic.

Sunderland's continued success can only mean one thing, I am deep in a coma and I am living a dreamed reality. If this message somehow pierces the veil and reaches the people out there in the real world my wishes are simple, do **not** wake me up. Thank you.

30 first downs vs 30 total plays is wildly funny to me

Y'know that *is* my bad, sometimes I forget some people are out here genuinely making the worst, least humourous, devoid of wit, "jokes" and it's on me to be able to spot that and steer clear. You keep on truckin' chief.

There's enough real stuff going on for you to not have to invent new problems, genuinely unhinged response to a crossword grid that doesn't even look anything like what you're trying to imply it does.

Onestream *is* Vodafone, fwiw, im in the same boat.

3 is fine though?

Apparently my ISP has had a failure effecting almost(?) everyone, so I'm just sat here like a lemon hoping it comes back soon :/

Holy crap what a throw and catch from Baker Mayfield and Tez Johnson

The whole timeline right now is "BAKER MAYFIELD" and to be very clear, it's unbelievably justified. Phenomenal!

It's like taking an incredibly enjoyable walk through a beautiful landscape and turning a corner to suddenly be faced by a perfectly framed and sunlit vista, the whole journey has been joyous but this moment is just impossible to overstate, GNU Terry, thank you so much for your stories.

For the record, I absolutely *love* the first four, I'd absolutely recommend them to anybody, but this being the fourth or fifth time I've revisited the series as a whole (a few individual books I've read 10+ times over the years) and the first in a decade, I'm very excited to see the progression.

The story is the best so far in terms of plot and pacing, the characters are always sublime but especially so here, the humour is clearly more honed at this point and razer sharp with alarming regularity, the wordplay is incredibly playful and keenly pointed, phenomenal book.

Just finished the fifth Discworld installation, Sourcery, as part of the Unseen University collection subscription I started a few months back. Genuinely no notes, I loved re-reading the first few, Mort was as good as I remembered, but Sourcery mostly evaded my memory and it's the best yet.

I was with a new friend shoe shopping (so you can tell I fancied her) and he came in shouting down his phone at someone, she was a big fan and wanted to talk to him but was too shy so asked me to ask him if she could. I said "I reckon you're a cunt but she likes you, can she say hi?"

One of my greatest achievements in life was calling Ian Watkins (RIP in piss bozo) a cunt to his face in Cardiff H&M in 2008. Way ahead of the curve, apparently, which is unlike me, but even before the horrendous revelations I was adamant he was a grade A prick.

Movies that are important in a technical sense but not particularly good movies absolutely should not inspire reboots, sequels and remakes purely off the back of the technical nous on display, you can take that stuff and put it anywhere, you need *something* else.

While technically significant (and I mean, in a technical sense, not as a perjorative to diminish that significance), that absolutely is *not* a reason to go in on sequels, CGI in film isn't a novelty any more, it's not like people can't get it literally everywhere else, you need more than that.

I genuinely cannot understand dropping the ball even *close* to the plane of the endzone, like, just hold onto it until you're both feet in at least surely? How does it keep happening? If that touchdown gets chalked off that's genuinely astonishing. Inexcusable is an understatement.

I'm Happy
I'm Healthy
I'm HEI

The settings for it are useless, it loses connection/can't perform commands like 5-10 times *a week*, these people have absolutely 0 interest in ever getting something to a properly functional state cause they make bank off the hype then ditch it, genAI will be exactly the same.

I got one because I wanted something I could set timers with using my voice and it's literally 80% consistent at managing that, it regularly plays music uninvited, if you cancel a timer on the screen it just hangs there until you change screen again etc, it's garbage.

I know it's like, common knowledge, but if you need evidence that AI likely won't turn into anything useful (not saying it won't be forced down our throats regardless), look at Alexa. A "smart" home assistant that's as dumb as a bag of rocks, it's *barely* capable of the simplest tasks.

A partial screenshot of the Chronos Vanquished screen from Hades 2

Pretty proud of myself, only took 17 runs (and 9.5 hours!) and a few of those were truly cursed in terms of options given to me, sub 10-hours on third time of meeting I escaped Tartarus. Hades 2 is Hades but morerer and that's definitely a compliment, really enjoying it.
