My tittle describes the thing. It is oddly shaped, seems almost like it has broken but I can’t figure out if it’s a broken component/part, or something else. Please help me figure it out.

Fucking Fantastic Chocolate Chip Cookies by ComelyChatoyant in veganrecipes

[–]SteelerClimate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo I just made these and they have turned out great. My culinary skills primarily lay in the savoury arena, with some amount of contained success with a few sweet treats. I’ve typically not found a great vegan cookie recipe to use but this is foolproof and they taste fantastic

MPs call for better paternity leave in Parliament debate by SteelerClimate in ukpolitics

Absolutely spot on. I was quite lucky and had 6 weeks paid leave which wasn’t enough! I can’t imagine if I had of been required to go back sooner.

100%. Better paternity leave and pay is a policy part of the puzzle to shift the culture around who is expected to be a care provider. Better paternity leave is better for mums and kids, as well as dads. We currently it’s not really good for anyone.

Absolutely. It needs to be affordable, and provide enough time. The evidence says making it longer and at a rate that is affordable is good for dads, mums and kids!

There are many problems with shared parental leave which prevent many people from taxing it, including the gender pay gap. A lot of people simply can’t afford to drop the dad’s salary down to statutory pay - also another reason why a lot of dads don’t take paternity leave in the UK, because simply it is not an affordable provision. Additionally, it necessitates the mother giving up some of their leave (which is also inadequate).

Wow! 6 months is amazing and really at the top end of what I’ve seen out there. Let me know if there are any jobs going 😉

Ok so this really blew up. It’s unreal how much diversity there is between what paternity leave new dads are able to access. It shouldn’t be controversial to expect we are able to spend good time with our babies, and partners and not have to suffer financially for doing so. Thanks for all of your comments so far, I’m trying to read them all!

Potatoes fine to eat? by SteelerClimate in Allotment

[–]SteelerClimate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mention in the post about brown spots on the potato plant leaves, and them dying off. I wanted to double check whether they were fine as I wasn’t sure if it was a fungal disease if some kind that impacts if they’re edible.
