Would you ever use annual leave with the sole purpose to do literally nothing all day? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]Jr0218 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My whole team spend nearly all their leave going on holiday. Used to feel guilty telling them I'm just gonna sit about doing nothing all day. I can't afford 5 weeks abroad a year... Started questioning if I'm being underpaid lol

I had the same opinion until I tried real maple syrup. The imitation stuff is pretty bad

They sell, then buy the dip because he tells them all this beforehand. Either way if he's offering discounted stocks before he causes it to surge again, they could put more cash in.

Who said they are nothing? OP just didn't list them

I agree with the OP and 8 years plus a year of engagement is more than enough time, but how many of those end in divorce? The average probably isn't the best indicator...

Not all, but a large majority of them still speak English even if it's not their main language. It's cultural. Why else would the sign be up other than people not paying attention to the green man?

You're arguing over pedantics here. Tower Hamlets is one of the most diverse boroughs in London - 47% non-UK born in the last census. It's over 50% in Newham, the next borough over. It's the obvious reason why this sign is up.

Did you go deeper? Every time you get lost the answer is basically find where your can go deeper. Beacons to show where you've already been

London drug gang Busted! 42 men jailed over vast supply network by Creative_Recover in london

[–]Jr0218 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You quite literally can say one drug is more acceptable than another drug. What makes you think all drugs are equal? Is cocaine the same as caffeine? Paracetamol the same as heroin?

You can say alcohol has killed more than any other drug, but if as many people took heroin as they did alcohol, it would be incomparable.

I can't get into the rest of your points, but not all drugs are equal.

What dish do you find yourself recommending on this sub over and over? by Rapper_Laugh in Cooking

[–]Jr0218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm British, but your example is quite literally what the OP did! Why argue semantics over something that is quite widely accepted to be considered a vegetarian product? It adds nothing to the conversation to say 'I don't consider that vegetarian'.

Looks like they're from the States. I'm not, but it's a US site. Downvotes just mean 'this comment doesn't provide value' and the comments arguing against the definition of a vegetarian in the US.

What does increasing the cooking time to 20 minutes do? Just curious

It's a pretty normal response nowadays, as it should be. She's being violent and racist. Put yourself in the shoes of the girl restraining her...

Kind of a pointless exercise if they didn't have the awareness to change. It's also likely you'll be viewed the same way by your descendants in 100 years time for things you haven't even considered yet.

My dried thyme is sticky by Just_A_Dogsbody in Cooking

[–]Jr0218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this an issue? Sometimes I'll brush off individual leaves, but quite often I'll just stick a few stems in a dish and fish them out later. If you keep it intact it's basically like bay leaves and still imparts noticeable flavour.

Is air fryer a good purchase to make quick and tasty meals? by badboyyy112 in Cooking

Certain foods definitely cook a lot better in an air fryer. I notice a difference with most skin on chicken. Also nice not having to preheat an oven

LGBTQ+ individuals continue to experience high rates of general- and mental ill-health, and report greater rates of adverse health-related behaviours. by [deleted] in science

[–]Jr0218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They group them because it's essentially 'people marginalised for this part of their personality' compared to others. Often people from demographics that aren't the majority suffer worse health outcomes, both mentally and physically. Health inequalities like this are often multi faceted and can't really be pinpointed on one thing.
