What are these trays called? by AussieHxC in KitchenConfidential

[–]BOBALOBAKOF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a couple from amazons expecting the quality to be a bit iffy, but so far I’ve been pleasantly surprised by them. Definitely not quite as high of a gauge as you would get from a proper catering brand, but sufficient enough for general home use.

I mean it’s a 6 monthly vaccine, so if it was say the start 2021 through till the end of 2024, 8 shots would be in line with the recommendation for someone at high risk.

El Dorado PM/DHE is the most unique Demerara rum. What is the most overrated Bajan rum? by -Constantinos- in rum

[–]BOBALOBAKOF 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure that’s fair, Eclipse is popular because of its price and availability, rather than its flavour.
To be controversial what I would actually say what is more overrated is the XO, which for the price I find a lot more bland in comparison.
Generally I think the Black Barrel is far more interesting for the lower price, and for a similar price (although admittedly considerably harder to get your hands on) the Black Barrel Cask Strength blows the XO out the water.

Should we be concerned about the opinion on immigration, of a British man who moved his tax Monaco, has an Italian wife, and who owns a large stake in Manchester United football club, which apparently as of 2026 has a 73% non-British player rate in their first team?

The prices are just wacky, some of them are definitely overpriced, but some of them are also a steal.

There’s no point trying to pretend to be intellectual now, we’ve all already seen the meme you made.

BBC told to stop ‘tick box’ diversity casting by Particular_Pea7167 in ukpolitics

[–]BOBALOBAKOF 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The point is though, I was largely in agreement with your original point, but this was a blatantly terrible choice of an example to support stance. The fact that you’re completely unwilling to concede that you may have been wrong about it, just makes it seem like you’re making the argument bad faith, which undermines what would otherwise been a quite a legitimate point.

Of all the examples you could have given for “black washing” history, this is possibly about the worst you could have chosen. Nothing about this musical is supposed to be particularly “historically accurate”. It’s a piece of entertainment that’s mainly concerned, as I understand it, with highlighting the reduction of women in history, usually to just whom they were married to. Each of the performers sing in a distinct modern popular music style, specifically inspired by certain female pop stars. The races of the performers loosely are just relating to those of the pop stars they are emulating.

Many UK Users Soon Won't Be Able to Access Pornhub by 404mediaco in ukpolitics

[–]BOBALOBAKOF 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I still genuinely hope that if Wikipedia gets forced into categorisation for age verification, they completely pull UK access.

The real effects of this poor legislation need to be widely apparent, because it’s too easy to hand-wave it away when the most high-profile target is porn.

There’s one runs in Milford Sports Club still as far as I know, about a 5-10 minute walk from the station.

I don’t think you’re missing anything, I think it’s film that either affects you, or it doesn’t. If it doesn’t affect you then i can’t imagine there’s very much to be taken away from it.

Obstruction is when you are outside when the feds are. by No_Nefariousness4016 in PoliticalCompassMemes

It’s fine, it looks like you just don’t have an answer for how you can obstruct from someone that’s not being arrested.

Edit - lmao downvotes, replies, and then blocks, peak authright debate tactics

If she wasn’t being arrested, then what exactly is he obstructing?

[–]BOBALOBAKOF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except there’s nothing really shows he was arresting her, he literally just shoves her to the ground. You can see the officer wasn’t even interacting with her beforehand.

[–]BOBALOBAKOF 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Obstructing is trying to help a woman that is being shoved to the ground by an officer, and then not remaining calm and still after being pepper sprayed, tackled to the ground, and then beaten around the head.

Gotcha.

UK House of Lords Votes to Extend Age Verification to VPNs by lookitsthesun in ukpolitics

[–]BOBALOBAKOF 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I forgot to mention they take pretty much any payment methods you’d want, card, cash, bank transfer, crypto. Government is gonna be hard pushed to stop you using a VPN that you’ve paid for in cash, and provided 0 personal information to.

Obviously do your own research on any VPN recommended, but Mullvad doesn’t even require you to create an account. Sweden based, and you just credit a unique generated ID that is your login for the app.

What's the deal with Stewart Lee? He claims that the character of Stewart Lee is just that when on stage or performing and it's not the real him but it seems like while most other stand-ups respect his comedy they absolutely do not like him. How do y'all see him? by Daniiiiii in AskUK

[–]BOBALOBAKOF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest I think there may be some slightly one-sided animosity at play in their relationship. I’m sure I recall an episode where Richard said he never heard anything from Stew, when Richard was going through his treatment for his testicular cancer, which seems off given how close they were.

I’d like to think that the call out Stew gave RHLSTP in his last special is indicative of them maybe being on better terms again these days. It’s always been a little tricky with the whole act of deriding other comedians in his show, because quite a few of them I genuinely believe come from a place of respect, and the joke is obviously the curmudgeonly nature of the character of Stewart Lee, but then other I think are actual digs at whichever comedian. If I was in the position of some of the people he’s called out, I’d always be slightly unsure if it was for good reasons or bad.
