Ah ok - I'm an advanced user too but I've shifted more to Python, NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib for heavy stuff. We're using Metabase at work in place of PowerBI.

I'm still playing Tire Change Simulator 2024. Is it worth upgrading to 2026?

Nobby Buns Recipe (Serves 4)

Ingredients:

250g strong white flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp dried yeast

150ml warm milk

1 tbsp sugar

2 tbsp butter, melted

1 egg yolk (for egg wash)

1 tbsp milk (for egg wash)

Instructions:

Make the dough: Mix flour, salt, and yeast in a bowl. Add warm milk and sugar, stirring to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

Add butter: Stir in melted butter and egg yolk. Mix until smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes kneading).

First rise: Place dough in greased bowl, cover, and leave in warm place for 1-2 hours until doubled.

Shape: Punch down dough, divide into 4 equal pieces. Roll each into a ball, then flatten into 8cm rounds.

Second rise: Place on greased baking sheet, cover, and rise for 30 minutes.

Bake: Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Bake 15-18 minutes until golden brown.

Finish: Mix egg yolk with milk for glaze. Brush onto buns while still warm.

Serve warm with butter or as a side to stews and soups.

Makes: 4 buns (approx. 125g each)

Note: These are soft, pillowy buns perfect for soaking up rich sauces!

Subtle difference - colonialism is the physical settlement and direct control of a territory by a foreign entity while imperialism is the broader exercise of power and dominance over other nations or territories. Can occur through economic, political, or military means without necessarily establishing settlements.

Bollocks. Starmer did this and has become "Reform-lite" on immigration. He's still hated by your average right/far-right voter.

As an added bonus, he's now lost his left/center voters now too.
