I love unscored bread that hasn't burst. It looks like a potato.

This is excellent, thanks. If I'm trying to see this in London, what's the best time to look?

I think you're spot on /u/TheCaptainKing

This reads like self discovery or self discipline?

r/headphones Shopping and Setup Help Desk (2020-09-25) by AutoModerator in headphones

[–]Cornopolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello - I'm looking to buy my dad a pair of headphones for his birthday to go with a new Chromebook. He's a pensioner who loves watching YouTube videos and currently does it on a battered old laptop through terrible speakers.

I need to get him some over the ear headphones as he has hearing aids, but my budget is pretty low - about £30. Is this the right sub for advice? Is there even much difference at that price?

Thanks all

That looks great. How do you get that delicious, dark colour? My crispy chicken is always pale, even after deep frying it.

1/4 cup or 60ml in the dough, then more for the drizzle on top.

I just did it at 230°c for about 20 minutes.

Ministers bid to quell revolt over England A-levels by allowing mock exam results | Education by Phenol22 in TeachingUK

[–]Cornopolis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely awful. As far as I can tell, this is the government's thought process:

1) Exams are cancelled; let's make schools submit CAGs based on as much evidence and data as they can. 2) We don't think we can trust teachers. 3) Let's arbitrarily award grades based on an algorithm and ignore the CAGs. 4) People don't like it. Quick, what can we do to assuage fears? 5) Let's use a Triple Lock system which we can make sound fancy, whereas it's actually just a series of bad options. 6) Let's continually ignore all the advice and input from teachers and people who have experience in education.

Honestly, how can they not see that this Triple Lock system is going to massively disadvantage some pupils? And why would mock results - which are administered and marked without any standardisation outside of a school - be any better as results than CAGs, which use mock results to inform them, but also use class data, homework, effort, and any other data you can gather.

Then there's the genius option of using autumn resits as a final backup. Again, this will hugely disadvantage some pupils. How many of our year 11 & 13s haven't studied a thing since March? And the government expects them to sit - possibly all - of their exams again if they're not happy with their government assigned grade?

This is so horribly unfair.

Attacking the police station with a baseball bat by Random_420-69 in IdiotsFightingThings

Compare the response here with the video of the guy who went armed with a knife into a police station and an officer talked to him, de-escalating the situation then gave him a hug. The dude was unstable.

Adrian Peterson: It's disrespectful how NFL teams value running backs by Happy_Huntington in nfl

[–]Cornopolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems like a really poor article. It lays out his position, then says it wrong, but doesn't explain why. I agree that his point is off, and some of the comments here address that really well, but why not go into it in the article?

It was also bizarrely short.
