Small eyesight malfunction is where it came from.

I wouldn't be so sure it's not harmful. Gases dissolved in water can change the pH (acidity), CO2 dissolved in water is supposed to have changed the pH enough to cause problems for marine life, fish, plankton, reefs etc. At least according to odd bits that have come up over the years, it's not...

Didn't the UK used to have social distancing between adults and children, for generations. It was called boarding schools, and nannies. It was the children who weren't socially distanced, from adults, using these or similar methods that ended up with health problems, as it generally meant they...

Isn't that akin to holding a cricket series that everyone must bet on, by law, and then refusing to release the results of matches? In other words - not cricket.

Wondering what effect being 'hydrogen rich' has on the pH of water.

If anyone needs a few thousand extra steps, without all the tedious walking, or finding someone 'trustworthy' who will do them for you, then make a roux. Steps just fly on, far faster than the amount of whisking would suggest, must be something in the movement. Offhand I can't think of any...

I have done - a more typical value (if I have to go out) is under half that (total steps from waking to bed), and halving that again is routine (so around 700-850 a day). I have also walked much further, not without consequences, but much further. For special occasions I do walk further, or...

Of course he is.

I haven't received an NHS letter and I am not likely to. Hence why I was quite surprised to be rung up and told I was being shielded, not that I was shielding but that I was being shielded, and that they had noticed that I hadn't been receiving the food boxes I should have been, and would I...

It's amazing he can breathe or swallow, his neck appears to be made almost entirely of brass. (https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/brass-neck - for those not familar with the expression)

It appears the Scottish system is vastly superior to the English one. I would have gone for a system which relied on texts to make changes, but when I was called and offered boxes of free food they said when I needed a box I had to call them - which simply isn't going to happen. It seems that...

I would not function well in that sort of environment. I tend to follow rules, unless I deem the rules are absurd, in which case I break the rules in the most efficient way possible. As I suspect my approach may go down even less well than usual ATM, even if I could manage the walk, and the...

Possibly, just possibly; Out of hundreds of thousands of research papers published in the last few years, half a dozen were about masks, almost all saying they could be very 'helpful' - a statistically insignificant evidence base. If you then narrow that down to those that mentioned covid-19...

Ditto - this time with no issues ;)

Wrights https://wrightsbaking.co.uk/ opened at 9.26am (stated opening time 9.30am) I have ordered 2 bread mix boxes (fixed item, 5 mixed grain, 10 white, £13.50 per box - each mix making one loaf). Not ideal, I would have prefered all mixed grain. Stock appears 'limited' in range of other...

16kg is 32 loaves. I can do 2-4 loaves a week of fresh bread, or a loaf can last 2 weeks - depends on the mood I'm in, and how good the flour is, and whether or not I can actually produce something worth eating from it. Stored correctly flour will easily keep that long. But a 16kg sack is...

I don't know. I am hoping that a pattern becomes evident as the days go on. On Thursday it was sold out by 9.20am (I don't know when it went in stock, only that it was out of stock when I went to bed just before 7am and when I got up at 9.15am it was out of stock (with a different banner)) On...

https://www.dovesfarm.co.uk/products/organic-flour-box 10.15am doves farm organic flour box is in stock if anyones been trying to grab one. Their gluten free food box is also available ATM. Delivery is £5 and they say they use DPD. *(ETA - at 11.26am I received a DPD shipment email saying it...

Possibly because the purpose of the 'interview' seemed to be to give the impression that 'experts' thought that people who wear masks in public were pathetic, deluded and insecure weirdos (it was very poorly done but the BBC interviewer was fully complicite) - with the apparent objective of not...

Wow - interview on BBC News right now with Prof Robert West. People who wear masks are insecure and may do it as they are needing a sense of security, BBC person comes back with 'a false sense of security'. Walking along the street wearing a mask is 'pointless' - West. The BBC really is...
