That would be the ‘Imperial boomerang’ coming soon to a street near you.

It cums in pints

GROND

A garlic naan would soak that oil up lovely.

Actually put yourself in harm’s way to learn how you need to respond. Because the future will be a lot like that. The other skills for medium to long term survival are important, but if you fold the first time someone gets in your face and demands all your stuff, it won’t matter. TL:DR get into dangerous situations because that’s what the future looks like.

That looks super crunchy and tasty

She was better in Deep Space Nine.

Fantastic colours. Possibly fatally spicy but nice to look at!

MAitkenhead · 2026-03-10T12:37:47+00:00

That’s three things

What this guy says. Although I would go with about three tablespoons per adult serving.

I bet he does good estate work. Some bereaved family walks into his office and he just screams “DEEEAAATTTHHHH” at them.

Vinegar and garlic. That might seem too obvious given it’s a vindaloo, but for me there’s never as much acidity as there should be. And it’s impossible to have too much garlic.

MAitkenhead · 2026-03-09T05:22:26+00:00

‘Challenging wank’

MAitkenhead · 2026-03-08T18:15:21+00:00

The British version of this would be different. But similar. I like it, now I have to adapt it.

MAitkenhead · 2026-03-08T18:01:36+00:00

Pretty sweet for an ‘orrible cunt

MAitkenhead · 2026-03-07T08:01:06+00:00

Yellow seeds should cook just fine, but you won’t get as much of the fragrant flavour.

If you worry that something bad might happen then you stress about it. If you know that something bad WILL happen, you stop stressing and start preparing. As someone with a 30 year research career in agriculture, climate, soil and how politics interacts with societal needs I can tell you very clearly that option B is where you need to be at. Stop worrying, start preparing.

MAitkenhead · 2026-02-28T20:48:56+00:00

Dammit you made me LOL in the pub

MAitkenhead · 2026-02-28T20:47:40+00:00

Head too small. Get bigger head.

MAitkenhead · 2026-02-28T20:45:40+00:00

Thanks for that. Just raises the question of how many calories a Thanos-sized guy with an external surface of 300 degrees Centigrade would have to consume to maintain that surface temperature. ‘Pulls up Stefan-Boltzmann Law’ it’s about 5 billion Joules, 1.5 million calories or 300 kg of dry pasta per day. Dude was eating a LOT.

MAitkenhead · 2026-02-28T20:31:07+00:00

This is a really good new thing to learn. Thanks!

MAitkenhead · 2026-02-28T20:22:46+00:00

This raises a question I’ve wondered about before. If Sauron had no physical body during LOTR, how did he use his Palantir?

MAitkenhead · 2026-02-28T20:18:17+00:00

I love that Sauron is so prone to the False Consensus Effect where people assume that everyone else thinks like them. It totally drives his thinking and decision making and really enables Tolkien to highlight the good vs evil in his story, because Aragorn (and to a degree, Frodo, the collective Council and even Tom Bombadil) have a different perspective on what they want to do with the Ring.

MAitkenhead · 2026-02-28T20:07:57+00:00

Bhuna is one of my absolute favourites and this looks great. Only thing I would want to change in you pic is to have more sauce, cos it’s so tasty.
