She pegs him good n hard

Some plants the flowers are very pretty, but the whole plant isn’t practical to be kept indoors (e.g. roses), and they don’t necessarily flower all year round. If someone has a favourite flower or favourite colour of flower, it makes them feel special when someone thinks to buy them for them (they get a flower they love to look at for the next week, and they know that someone cares about them enough to buy them flowers, and keep the knowledge of which like).

That’s fair enough. I guess I see it as if I’m happy enough to eat off rinsed plates from the dishwasher, I’m happy enough to eat a rinsed fungus.

Damn, sorry to hear that. Thanks for all you do to keep this Lemmy up and running!

I don’t think it’s intended to be a role model for behaviour; like Tom and Jerry, it’s cartoon violence for the sake of humour. An over the top reaction to something that people generally find irritating.

Jammy. Real pain to clean, though I’ve heard you can do it in a dishwasher on cold without the soap

Love me some rugby sevens – the France-Fiji men’s final was chef’s kiss, and seeing Canada’s women go so far was also a delight.

Also had one eye on any racket sports

For the crime of seeing an empty train carriage and going to sit directly next to her, when her expression makes it clear that she’s uncomfortable with that. If you want to sit and make conversation, sit across the aisle, make a comment that has either the option of being picked up for conversing, or politely dropped, so that you’re not pressuring someone into something they may not be comfortable with (talking with strangers).

What about the comic made you think it was implying that?

I’m UK based so not hugely familiar with US mushrooms, but I seem to recall a spore print being useful for checking for false parasol? Though it’s not the most obvious (e.g. snakeskin markings for distinguishing from parasol).

Btw I totally agree with your general point (I never use them, except to produce pretty spore prints for friends).

Scarletina bolete apparently tastes relatively decent. I haven’t tried it myself though.

Yah – and to add certain edible mushrooms or families of mushrooms are very distinctive (e.g. hedgehog fungi in the UK), and I would recommend novices start out with. Others I wouldn’t touch with a barge pole even if I was relatively confident with an id, purely because it isn’t worth the risk (e.g. miller Vs fools funnel).

You can use a spoiler tag instead of nsfw for the same effect :)

FUCKING DOING OUR JOB AS TRANSPORT MODELLERS AND DOING A FUCKING COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS THAT SHOWS YOU’RE NEVER GOING TO GET FUCKING MODE SHIFT FROM RURAL USERS UNLESS YOU RUN A FUCKING METRO STYLE 10 MINUTELY SERVICE WHICH IS FUCKING UNFEASIBLE WITH THE FUCKING RESOURCES WE HAVE AVAILABLE.

IN THE FUCKING UK WE HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF FUCKING ABANDONED RAILWAYS FROM THE PERIOD OF FUCKING COAL MINING THAT WOULDN’T HAVE ANYWHERE NEAR THE FUCKING DEMAND NECESSARY TO JUSTIFY SETTING UP AN EXPENSIVE AS FUCK SIGNALLING SYSTEM TO BRING THEM UP TO MODERN FUCKING SAFETY STANDARDS, ALONGSIDE REPLACING THE FUCKING RAILS, SLEEPERS AND BEDS.

IF INSTEAD YOU CAN HAVE A FUCKING PUBLICALLY OWNED FLEET OF FUCKING ELECTRIC ‘MINI TRAINS’ THAT PEOPLE COULD USE FOR INFREQUENT BUT NECESSARY TRIPS, THAT COULD REMOVE A FUCKING SIGNIFICANT BARRIER TO MODE SHIFT, WHICH WOULD BE PRETTY FUCKING RAD

Carpenter bees are mostly solitary.

do you think the responder is serious. do you.

Thanks!

Could you give the recipe for baked falafel? I hate deep frying just cos there’s so much oil to deal with :)

I was waiting ages for someone to post this!

Still, better now than not at all, I suppose.
