As a retired corrections officer I can assure you in,ages find ways to smuggle smart phones in every day. Past x-rays, past metal detectors, past strip searches: they still get them in.

I can’t remember who said upthread that the driving was getting worse at the moment. Here in the US we’ve had a rising level of problems over parking spaces. We’ve never been big on public transportation anyway but the pandemic has convinced merely everybody to abandon it (for fear of being too...

@Woody girl: you might want to add some melatonin to the supplements you’re taking to make up for lack of exposure to sunlight.

My daughter (and thus the youngest grandson) is almost 15 miles from me and more than 50 miles from her in-laws. We’re her baby sitters if she has a doctor’s appointment (and she has many) or if she goes to the gym. Mind you at the moment that grandson is in quarantine: his school called and he...

You think a 30 minute travel distance is a long way? To me anything less than 100 miles is local. Most of my life we’ve driven that far just for lunch.

Wheat flour is never gluten free. Gluten free flours are made from various gluten free grains and other plants: oats, buckwheat (not really a wheat) rice, potatoes, yucca, quinoa, etc.

I’m mostly commenting just to follow the discussion as it’s been interesting and informative so far. That said I guess I’m luckier with the map issue. All of our aviation charts and military grade maps are “red light readable.” Basically meaning they don’t have any colors that would disappear...

Very true the rules are different in the UK vs the US. Your foundation license is roughly equivalent to our technician license. You’re restricted to 10w of power but have a much greater range of frequencies than we do with that level. At the same level we’re allowed 100w of power but only a...

Happy New Year to all.

The real problem regarding weight isn’t going to be the vessel you fry with: it’s going to be carrying the oil to fry in.

Because they make excellent deep fryers as well as the intended uses. e

Just get a small wok.

I had several horses as a kid and as a teenager. None of them we’re especially mean. When I worked as a stablehand/wrangler even docile herds ran up and trample people (No: they don’t dodge you at the last minute) they’re intent on getting the feed they assume humans are carrying. Likewise with...

LOL. Yes LOL. Yes: feral.

Autocorrupt interfered with that last post. The last example of the common dangerous critters I encountered while growing up should be "fire ants" not "firearms."
