From what I’ve seen they seem to prefer spirits, unless it’s a casual meal.

often wondered what the energy savings would be if people brewed their tea at, say 92 or 95c instead of a rolling boil

There are two parts; just heating water from 92 to 100 costs about 9Wh per litre. Vaporising it is energetically costly, but not much is vaporised. Losing 0.01l as steam (that's a lot) would cost another 6Wh. Out of the 100Wh/l you're using to make tea either way, it's a material number but not earth shattering.

Thanks. I was thinking that scaled to a population level, it would probably add up to a good amount of energy saved for a relatively minor cost if people brewed tea at =<99deg instead of boiling.

Shit tea though,

Most fast food tea isn’t great anyway, and I’d be surprised if even the most carefully reared Golf Club palate can feel the difference between 96 and 99deg builders tea.

Someone I spoke to recently drew parallels between Western consumerism and responses to trauma. No matter how evident it is that we’re being self-destructive, we simply refuse to change because of reasons we can’t fully comprehend (on a societal level; there are exemplary eco-conscious individuals here and out there).

The body is amazing. You reminded me of Tommy Caldwell, climber extraordinaire, who lobbed off half an index finger and ‘trained’ his nerve endings back to some degree of sensibility. Whether there was a direct - effect, I don’t know, but these bio-machines are incredible.

Anyone who has lost their sense of smell.

We are all free moral agents, volitional creatures under the sovereignty of Mod.

We are but spinners in the hands of an angry Mod, and with a click, we vanish out of existence.

Instructions unclear, the shifter should be in the smallest cog, otherwise you won’t be able to set the cable head properly in the ratchet.

Question for those who have lost their sense of smell: Do you perceive or feel vapours in your nose, turps or rubbing alcohol for example?

Neither do I (unless that was aimed at someone else), and we will be working, rather than enjoying ourselves.

I was replying to you, so you didn’t think I was judging you. Since it’s for a week, I assumed it was a holiday rather than work. 👍

DM’d.

Personally I see no issue with it. You’re paying to take that time for you (and I assume your partner) to relax and enjoy yourself knowing that your child is with someone competent and trustworthy. Is it a good chunk of change? No doubt, but the market supplies what the market demands.

That's what we've already got! I'll stick the £5k in her trust fund or buy a new watch or something, to keep in the spirit of the thread.

Apologies I misspoke. With lufguss mates’ rates discount, which is considerable, the fee is £55,000 annum, so it’s an even better deal for you. Please PM for my list of ad-on services, including:

Anyone who looks after your spawn 1-2-1 and does a good job deserves more than that.

PM me if you ever want a trilingual male nanny at short notice. My going rate is £55,000 annum pro rata, a modest but impactful investment in your child’s future.

@Slabber Seconded. Check the pedals threads, since they randomly pictured one crank arm.

What’s that, willow? £300 is a steal.

JEEZ! EVERYONE HERE IS SO FUCKING TOUCHY, SENSITIVE, PROUD, ARROGANT, HYPOCRITICAL AND CRAZY! NO NORMAL AND REASONABLE HUMANS HERE!?

How could a loving Mod allow such anguish?

Just need to save up £45 to get ‘er going again.

Dear Grand-mummy only employed English butlers, French maids, and Australian au-pairs at her country estate. * sips tea containing more scotch than tea*

It doesn’t sound like they’re that fussed but some stores will let repeat thieves reach a certain threshold to hit them with harder charges.

Have to have at least 2, a single au-pair will get lonely and sad, and blemish your child’s upbringing.

He should’ve doubled down and said the pay packet and unsociable hours left him no choice but eating expired food out of the rubbish bins.

Cool, good luck with it.

so members of staff walking out past the tills with bikes was a regular occurrence and didn't raise any questions. Obviously some members of staff took note/advantage of this.

The handful of times I’ve been to Halfords some alarm or other has gone off at the door, with the robust man at the entrance being completely unbothered. Makes me wonder if he’s there to keep an eye on customers or on staff.

Turned out they were taking the piss in the end. What are the chances it's the same person...

Ha! Sadly, this poster is representative of so many IRL bike users that it didn’t even register as a possible troll. The caps and broken English are pretty much fripperous, they don’t add style or affect how convincing the troll is.

They still owe me KFC though. May their soul be bound to my service until they pay up.

Fitting repost
