I know a few folks in the #phenylketonuria community have played around with the egoo health pku bloodspot monitoring device, and I was wondering how you found it? Was it accurate? Easy to use? Would you recommend it?

It's been a while, but I've finished my Magnus Opus

Watched two films in the cinema today:

* Nobody 2 - a great, fun, silly action film with a lot of humour. I really enjoyed this one.
* Eddington - I thought it was really long and boring. It had a lot of political snipes, but apparently the film was about something bigger.

Just came from the cinema watching Materialists.

I think it was okay. The problem though is the movie is running on vibes, and there isn't enough plot to carry the film. Most of the time it is just long shots with music to communicate how you should feel.

Wait for streaming.

Weapons - Just utterly brilliant. Highly recommend if you are a fan of horror/thriller. If you need to see a trailer, make it only this one www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMhg...

Just saw two films that I need to talk about:

The Naked Gun (Liam Neeson one) - Honestly this film was such a joy. Just jokes after jokes after jokes. There was a part in the middle where it had me grinning like a silly little child. A true feel-good movie that I can pretty much recommend.

Gotta love the fact that as War of the Worlds is trending thanks to the terrible Amazon remake, Netflix is now showing the 2005 version and it's reached #8 in the UK 🤣

I don't know what it is with Amazon Prime films, but they really aren't worth watching the vast majority of the time.

I'm watching The Pickup and I get that this film is trying to tell jokes, but man they just aren't landing at all...

There is a part where his daughter needs medical attention, and the dad tries to ring 911 from his phone but it doesn't answer. So he says to his daughter that he is coming, and he tries to open the door to his room... BUT IT'S LOCKED!

Forget what I said before, I'm in tears.

I'm watching War of the Worlds on Amazon Prime since I've heard nothing but absolutely terrible things about it, and honestly it feels like an ad for Windows 11 & Teams more than anything.

FWIW, I'm not even halfway through and I'm already tired of it.

Why did our friends stop posting on social media? BBC Special Correspondent Katty Kay and writer Kyle Chayka discuss the ways that social media is changing – and what that means for how we live our lives online.

Why did our friends stop posting on social media?

A really good article about how things have slowed down on the social media front. I have noticed this *a lot* in myself and my friends.

I think for me the Mevalia rice is just uniquely it's own thing and for me tastes even better than the normal rice, which is a hell of an accomplishment.

Normally pku rice just tastes like pasta, but the taste and texture of Mevalia rice is something else!

Rice and vegetable medley

Just tried using the Mevalia rice and it's the one for me (an old photo of the rice with veggies).

For one I have freedom in cooking the rice (I cook it in water with vegetable stock cube mixed for added flavour). Another reason is I can taste each rice grain.

With the PKU real rice, I gave the second packet a try (sorry, forgot to take pictures) - this time I boiled it.

It seemed to be better, the rice was still sticky though. I think to me, that's my real problem with the rice - it is far too sticky for my liking. Not for me sadly.

I have no idea - the welcome pack is a bit botched. Waiting for that to be fixed and then I'll find out!

Thanks man! I just sent a message on the main site and it seems like the website owner has wonderfully replied and apologised for the misunderstanding, and will look into it on Monday, but it does seem like the book club is going ahead!

I really don't get what is going on. It almost feels like the world is conspiring to make sure I stay at home and play videogames all day or something. Sheesh.

Wouldn't even be the first time today - I tried to go to an adult art class (my attempts at going outside and trying to make new friends), but the business didn't seem to be open. I called the person and asked for details, they told me to send my email address over. I did. Nothing so far.

I've tried joining the Facebook group and I've yet to be invited. I've just now tried to message one of the folks in the admin group to help get some clarification. It just feels like I'm being messed around.

So I've just tried to join up to a book club where I live via Plot Twist Book Club (plottwistbookclub.com)

I registered on Monday, and just a few minutes ago I've got an email from Paypal telling me they've effectively cancelled the monthly payment on my card?

What is going on?

I get people have rubbish days, but we're literally just trying to find something to eat!!

I'm really sorry you guys had that experience. I wish I could say I can't relate but yup I can relate.

I went to a local Wagamamas, and they were super helpful, but this one day the manager was just not interested. Really put a dampener on the whole experience.

Experience shows people super helpful or super unhelpful. No middle ground. I should learn. 12 year old offered not to eat anything. #pku

Rubbish pku experience today. Local eatery. Nothing 12 year old can eat. Previously taken a fast food chips option with us without issue. Today very unsubtly asked to leave. Despite explanation. No effort to try to work something out. Totally get the issue. Some ppl no interest in helping.

YouTube video by ANTI- Records The Drums - "Meet Me In Mexico"

Not quite 80s but a great dance track that I've managed to discover yesterday thanks to the power of music streaming algorithms: The Drums: Meet Me In Mexico

Will be interesting to hear what you think of it!

Oh those songs are so gloriously 80s!

Haha no, I didn't see much of Glastonbury. Isn't it on BBC iPlayer? I might have to check it out!

Nice! It'll be interesting to see how you guys get on with the rice. I'm hoping the rice thing is just a me problem and not an actual problem with the rice itself.
