  • Yes, but food inflation has been so high we can probably handle some limited deflation there. It's also not like someone is going to put off buying some bananas because they think they'll be cheaper next week.

  • prion disease,

    Jesus. Please tell me that's an extremely rare result. Because that is genuinely fucking terrifying.

  • Well I've finally got around to watching it. It's definitely not good, but it's nowhere near the worst Trek I've seen. The major issue I have with it is the actors for the most part just aren't good enough singers.

  • They had a $14.5 billion debt of as of march last year. Servicing that at the super low interest rates of the past decade was so well and good, but that time is over, and now those lenders want their pound of flesh.

  • Well that sent me down a random Wikipedia dive.

    In the United Kingdom, stop signs may only be placed at junctions with tramways or sites with severely restricted visibility.[30] Until 2016, each stop sign had to be individually approved by the Secretary of State for Transport.[31][32] This requirement was removed by the 2016 amendments to the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions;[33][34] the responsibility for approving stop signs now lies with local authorities

    I remember Tom Scott did a video about a really dangerous junction with one a few years ago. The road layout there has now been fixed so it's not needed.

    I've never seen one in the wild though.

  • Same in the UK. But here most signs are 'give way' so there can be confusion when there's an actual stop sign.

  • Just ignore them. If they want to be idiots, let them. Doesn't mean you have to as well.

  • Trying to buy a smallish TV recently for my bedroom and most were hdready ballshit

  • Oh damn. I thought there was Canada and Not Canada.

  • Like I said, beyondmeat is one of the less bad options. But let's not kid ourselves that they're automatically more healthy. They fall squarely into the ultra processed "foods" category.

    Looking at the ingredients of some no meat meatballs from a supermarket and the fourth biggest ingredient is palm oil. They also contain methyl cellulose and dextrose whatever the hell they are!

    shit like antibiotics to boot.

    This may be true in some parts of the world, but not all.

    Due to concerns about the potential risk to humans, the use of hormonal growth promoters for livestock is banned in the UK. Antibiotic growth-promoting feed additives have also been phased out - because of concerns about the potential spread of antibiotic resistance.

    Saturated fats have a bad name, but the real issue is excess, a burger now and then is fine, is when you have it as a regular part of your diet rather than a treat that it becomes problematic.

  • One of these probably contains about 3 ingredients, the other, has 20 (and beyondmeat is one of the less bad meat alternatives with regards to this).

  • There's a third? Oh bugger 😝

  • Not really, as a European I can tell you where all the countries in the north American continent are.

  • The final frontier

  • Infinite diversity in infinite combinations motherfucker.

  • I don't think that I agree about no one listening to ukip. So their height they were picking up MPs at bi-elections and had about 13% of the vote at General. The fear the Tories had of them splitting the right vote in my opinion was a key reason why Cameron put the Brexit referendum into his 2015 manifesto.
