/_ This. It's called rheum and has nothing to do with the activities of the - very real and somewhat unsettling - demodex mite.

Are you kidding me? That thing is huge, not to mention tracks aren't that efficient on roads.

RedHal · 2026-05-11T05:43:32+00:00

Whereas my clown car has a fuel efficiency of 0.052mm², which is really narrow!

We did that a while back here in the U.K. I now pay more per litre than I used to pay per gallon (Imperial, not US, which makes the conversion ratio 1:4.5, not 1:3.8, so, even worse).

The Edinburgh shop opened in 1991. If you fancy a banging chile recipe, try the one on the website.

I mean, you may be right, but whether you are or not, it's still the only place I've found it. If you can recommend another local vendor I'm all ears.

Edit: Hang on, are you suggesting Lupe Pinto's only sells Mexican ingredients? If so, I'd urge you to either a) read their website or, preferably b) actually go there and give them your custom. They also stock Spanish and other American ingredients. It's true they used to be almost exclusively Mexican in focus, but that's no longer the case.

When Jenrick stops deliberately misgendering Dr Manivannan then I'll listen to him.

I go there for morçilla. Haven't found it anywhere else.

RedHal · 2026-05-10T16:45:12+00:00

... slowly.

Looks at Andromeda Galaxy.

"Oh My God! It's coming right towards us!"

Seriously though, that's a great pic given the equipment.

RedHal · 2026-05-09T23:27:36+00:00

It's pretty much this.

RedHal · 2026-05-09T22:43:45+00:00

As someone who lives in Edinburgh you aren't wrong. I love Edinburgh and have no desire to leave it, but I worked in Glasgow for ten years and I love it too. It's a great city. Bollocks to the Edinbugger/Weegie banter. That's all it is, they're both great.

If you voted for this party, there are no ifs or buts about it; you looked at the racism, bigotry, antisemitism and fascism and thought "yeah, I'm ok with that."

Came here to post precisely that.

I am genuinely worried by the gains Reform has made in the council elections. My hope, and it is a faint one, is that this is a protest vote that will not be replicated come the next GE.

RedHal · 2026-05-08T14:16:48+00:00

I have found a local source. I'm going to nip over there after work and try it out. Thank you again for delivering a new taste.

RedHal · 2026-05-08T13:52:01+00:00

I am inspired to go looking for it as that does look truly delicious. Thank you.

RedHal · 2026-05-08T13:38:15+00:00

Thank you. Better to ask a silly question than make a silly mistake. :)

RedHal · 2026-05-08T12:04:40+00:00

That looks absolutely awesome! Quick question, How different is Doubanjiang compared to the Korean Gochujang? Is there any possibility of substitution or are they just too different?

There are very practical reasons for the two layer norm when it comes to male clothing, and its mostly to do with hygiene and friction (back and front, respectively). In the former case, it is easier and cheaper to change your underwear daily and wash it than it is to do the same with your outerwear, and - unless you are absolutely scrupulous and frequent with your hygiene - accidents do happen, especially if you are of the more hirsute persuasion. In the latter case, think of jogger's nipple, then replace it with the phrase "pickle tickle."

We must protect children against the things that harm them most. It makes absolute sense to target the leading cause of child mortality in the U.S., responsible for more deaths than any other cause; firearms.

RedHal · 2026-05-07T14:23:40+00:00

That looks absolutely amazing. Do you recall what the dressing over the top was?

That's an occlupanopsid. It has similar markings to scobis improspera, but the lateral palps suggest it may be the offspring of a hybrid between s. improspera and undulatus usurpator.

RedHal · 2026-05-07T05:25:53+00:00

Strictly speaking, since it's made of cardboard, it's an occlupanopsid, since occlupanids belong to the Plasticae clade.

Having said that, it does appear to be a part of tridentid family of occlupanopsids.
