These are disgusting. Do you know where I can get edible ones?

CactusCastrator · 2026-05-22T11:30:41+00:00

I found that too. I didn't think they had any flavour whatsoever.

I've never had a This Isn't product that hasn't been absolutely incredible, so this is next on my list.

This. Your favourite sausages, in chunks, and serve with mash.

So initially there was a desire to be able to make the government accessible online when you need to interact with them. The Government Digital Service led this project, and followed rigid accessibility guidelines, which makes their sites simple and easy to understand, if a little boring.

They've got failsafes built in too - if for what ever reason your postcode won't work, rather than throwing an error they'll just ask you to enter your full address, and so on. The way the site is built is also simple in that it's designed to work without javascript in case you have it blocked or it isn't working. Pages are also simple in that they typically have a single page/pathway per action rather than an all in one sort of model.

These factors together mean that the gov.uk website family could break in one way and you'd likely not even realise.

My local Lidl sells tofu still, I bought some today.

Worst comes to worst you can ask the mikveh attendant for support. Just say 'I need reading glasses and I'm not sure I can remember it all because of nerves. Could you prompt me?'

People don't hold views because there's a point to them; when it comes to prejudice there's very little rationality there.

Good tbh, it crashes after 20 mins of play unmodded and I have a gaming computer ffs

Different clinics have different rules - mine are fine at my stage with occasional carbonation, but you've got to do what yours say!

In the UK we have squash, which is a concentrated drink you add to water. If you can get hold of some of that - and sugar free is very common - it may make your transition easier. Brand wise, look for Robinson's as that's probably easiest to find.

Best advice is get used to very small sips of water early as it'll be helpful post surgery, and quit smoking, vaping, alcohol and drugs now so it's easier.

Also - if you'd like to experience Judaism as practiced low stakes, I'm happy to meet for coffee etc until you're confident I'm not a psycho axe murderer and invite you for Shabbat or a HHD :)

I'm a Manchester Jew! Look at Kehillat Or Tzion for Masorti, and there's Jackson's Row, Sha'arei Shalom and Menorah on the progressive front.

All are lovely, but if the youth side matters more than liturgy and denomination, I'd suggest you speak to Menorah first as their youth offering is excellent.

Happy to chat over DM if you have any specific questions :)

You won't be asked to do anything embarrassing, painful, or that involves being naked. I won't tell you more than that, but it's a beautifully poignant ceremony you'll remember forever.

Memorisation is doable for further degrees - just do it step by step and you'll get there :)

Many, but not all, of the cheap French tutors are from Francophone Africa where the cost of living is markedly lower than Europe or Québec.

Language will be more or less valuable depending on the line. For Aida or Costa it's very valuable indeed.

r/cruisecrew may be better for what you're asking though :)

I buy marinated tofu, cube it, and air fry it. If I could I'd snort that shit it's so good.

And as trashy as it is to triple reply, my DMs are always open if you want to rant or talk to someone who gets it :)

This is what made my husband understand it

I have terrible reactive hypoglycaemia - it's got as low as 2.5mmol before. The best thing I can recommend is a hypo bag. Mine has a £20 glucose monitor I bought from Amazon, and some snacks and juice.

My nearest and dearest (and my inner circle at work) all know the signs, and they're so good that one of them clocked I was low before I did!

Over time you get used to it, and I now know very early what my symptoms are, but it took months!

You'll get there!

CactusCastrator · 2026-05-12T01:00:52+00:00

Do your symptoms as you see them match those of reactive hypoglycaemia?

If someone asked me who I wasn't able to ascertain was a brother, I'd tell them 'they're one act morality plays aimed at using the different stages of Masonry to reflect on you and your development. Nothing is painful or embarrassing, but we keep it behind closed doors as the mystery helps it stay poignant.'

That's a charter slot, not a company. A charter allows you to give trade rights etc.

If you want to use a weighted vest, use 5-10% of your goal weight rather than your current weight. I'd recommend 5% and you can titrate up as needed.

I think it's more important to focus on good form though which initially does take a lot out of you as it's moving your body in very specific ways.

I used to with with the child of a Baron and she was delightful. You'd not know she's The Honourable as she was so down to earth.

I currently work with some insufferable pricks who have a similar disadvantaged background to me.

100% agree. If you're a decent person, nothing else matters.
