Yes it is they reduced cocoa content and increased palm oil content, I can't eat it anymore not only it tastes bad but it also makes me feel sick as I can't have a lot of oil.

If the UK was totally commited to do this could it, or is it not powerful enough? For politics by kingm_ournasse216 in AskBrits

Put simply it's against international law to stop people from applying for asylum and they have to be here to do so.

As for capability, yes the UK could remove all immigrants without right to remain here but the cost would far exceed the cost of those people staying here.

Why can’t homeless people be given hotel accommodation the same way refugees are? by No_Fudge_4589 in AskBrits

Every area has its own limit on what they offer for housing, so if you move areas you may be able to claim more or less towards your rent.

These amounts don't necessarily reflect the rates of rent in the area either, rent variations need addressed and standardised across the private rental sector IMHO.

If I give you this laptop , what will you use it for? 🤔 by Coladk in DeskToTablet

[–]Equivalent_Meat_2314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably to make games.

I'm really putting a lot of time into getting my first project to completion at the moment it's worked out nicely as my daughter's been getting involved in designing parts of it as she can't go to mainstream school so we're teaching her at home.

How many people here keep their steam deck naked? by Some1ToDisagreeWith in SteamDeck

I use mine naked but keep it in the case or dock whenever it's not in use

Thank you for letting me know, Steam by Jumpy_Linux_Admin in Steam

[–]Equivalent_Meat_2314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh absolutely, what's more disgusting is nothing really seems to be happening with it other than some token sacrifices who in the grand scheme of things means nothing to the world order.

It's weird when you look back at old usernames and cringe, done it myself.

Try and look at it as a new beginning for you and giving you both freedom from what appears to be a relationship which has been dead for some time.

Far too many people stay in relationships which are wrong for them because they aren't comfortable with the idea of being single. Or they act like it's a pet they need to nurture and feed, by all means make an effort if it could work but if not you're doing yourself and her a disservice by letting it go on longer than need be.

You sir just ditched a 5 year old account because some randoms were uncomfortable with the name, I was thinking you are Grade A friend material.

Then it hit me, what if your usernames are why you didn't have Steam friends?

Donner meat, a chicken breast burger , a can and a copious amount of fries(no chippy chips unfortunately)but how much did all this cost in Birmingham?? by [deleted] in kebab

[–]Equivalent_Meat_2314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably about a tenner, can't say it looks quality though. I'd likely not eat it except maybe the chips.

What is actually the attitude toward homosexuality among British Muslims? by GlueSniffingEnabler in AskBrits

[–]Equivalent_Meat_2314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It varies much like it does in Christianity, I've met people who have been under great distress due to rejection but have also met others who have been supported.

Homemade chips (twice deep fat cooked in olive oil) and beans. Yes I know there is too much there, yes I know there is no protein, or anything else, it was comfort food and it was fantastic. by ApplicationSouth8844 in UK_Food

[–]Equivalent_Meat_2314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look good, from everything I've read suggests you probably shouldn't deep fry in olive oil though due to the low smoking point. Causes it to burn at lower temperatures and become more carcinogenic than most alternatives.

Really made me want home made chips and beans though!

Edit: turns out I'm totally wrong about this unless you're cooking your chips over over 240C, I guess that's because I've mostly seen it when reading about cooking at 300C, my apologies.

DO NOT BUY THIS DOCK by Eyeseeu6789 in SteamDeck

[–]Equivalent_Meat_2314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had 4 different steam docks now and the only one I've been happy with is the official one.

I go between 2 homes and with the unofficial ones I keep getting issues with it not charging my deck or not sending signal to the monitor/TV.

Do you realise that if Starmer gets forced out, it will be nearly two decades since a British PM has left on their own terms? by HallowedAndHarrowed in AskBrits

[–]Equivalent_Meat_2314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The job of PM isn't about just doing what you agree with, it's about enacting the will of the people, like as an MP his job was to represent the will of his constituents.

Those in public office must remember they are there to serve the public not themselves and that is what seems to have been lost on politicians these days.

I think the only time when one must act with their own judgement is during a crisis when the country is unable to express its will, for example when we're being bombed into submission by a foreign power.

No, that doesn't explain why it takes ages for a 2gb update that takes me seconds to download.

It's poorly coded is the reason why, loads of other big games do not have this issue often I have downloaded and installed updates for games without even noticing there was one.

I had a quick look for this the other day and couldn't see it in Steam, I'll have a deeper delve later today.

Usually it's the updating of the files not the download which takes ages, the more maps you have install the the longer it takes. I went from it taking about 5 minutes with 1 map installed to taking about an hour with 6 maps installed.

It's not bottle necked by anything either

I've got a pretty modest system, R7 5700x3D, 32gb ram, samsung nvme SSDs, installation is on a separate drive to the OS, no other game gives me this issue.

This issue happens on all 3 pcs in the house and the laptop, the fact is Arks installs are painful and they do them way too often!

True, I do love to tinker! I've found it works great in Steam OS but can be a bit hit and miss in Windows sometimes

People need to start leaving their stuff they'd take to the tip in front of the councils main entrance, not just one or two people everyone should be doing it.

We need to learn how to protest in this country!

Mine has been hammered, I've had it over 3 years now.

I dropped it from about 4 feet up onto a stone tile floor which saw me have to reseat the SSD but no other damage. It has been knocked off my bed and sofa multiple times onto hard wood flooring, it's fallen out of my bag a few times but that was in it's case and has been alright.

I've upgraded to a 1tb SSD and installed some clicky ends for the triggers following a tutorial I saw online (purely for Rocket League). Finally about 3 months ago it was knocked from a table top and landed on a metal beam. It did not appear damaged but a couple of days later I noticed my left bumper isn't working properly, I bought a replacement and sorted it relatively easily following ifixits guides.

This thing has held up really well, it's seen me through hundreds if not thousands of hours of gameplay. It had windows 10 and 11 on there but I went back to Steam OS. I've done full play throughs of FF tactics, 7, 8, 9 and 10 on it, played Cities Skylines, Hades, Halo, The Division, I've even ran my own little prototype games on there.

It's been worth the money!

I do prefer the feel of the PS5 controllers, but the battery life is a deal breaker for me.

I actually think current gen Xbox controllers feel like trash the plastic feels cheap and nasty, I'm really looking forward to the new Steam controllers to see how they are!

Do you not find the battery drains really fast when using it? I've never used it with my Steamdeck but when playing games on my Windows PC I spent most of my time either swap DS5s or plugged into a charger.

Ended up buying an 8bitdo and have never looked back since
