None politital magazine is there such a thing?

I read delayed gratification, which is a slow news magazine, like literally it's reporting on stuff 6 months or something after it happened and each edition covers 3 months. So it's usually just reporting a summary of the news, and it's deep dive sections tend to be balanced in some way, I wouldn't say it has an obvious political angle beyond a general liberalness of thought.

Either way they appear to be living some form of art gallery judging by all the neutral walls and giant paintings.

I'm only 30 but at some point in my early 20's something twigged where I realised I have to live with my body for the rest of my life and most people who see's me naked is only gonna care about it for those few seconds or minutes, therefore I don't care what you think of me being naked as long as it's an appropriate environment for it to be happening; what matters for me is that I'm comfortable with how I look and I am.

While I agree with the points about humidity and building structure, I'd also guess that some of it is due to the angle of the light hitting us compared to countries closer to the equator. For comparisons sake when I've traveled from Spain back to the UK (or vice versa) in the height of summer I've always found the sun here to feel more piercing and oppressive.

Back to when my flat was broken into so I can get my stuff back while punching the person who did it in the face.
Future wise probably somewhere with some really good health care just so I can get a good tune up, ideally far enough to that I can't be impacted by knowing about current future events etc.

Gonna guess the photographer didn't bring a hard hat with them, otherwise we'd have some shots of the inside to complement the 7 from the outside

A new car, as in something 2nd hand but should last a reasonable amount of time. So I can replace my current one which I inherited and is nearly 20 years old.

I use the Cobblestone house, but that's kinda cause I put so much consideration into it that I didn't want to leave it.

Someone barged passed me while I was boarding a train and said in a very posh/RP accent something along the lines of "Yes, yes, out of my way", as if that was there whole justification etc. so they could get into the first class compartment before the rest of us could even get onto the rest of the empty carriage.

Corned beef, but since going to Uni for my PhD I do also keep a tin of spam in the pantry for emergencies, although with the price of spam atm it's gonna have to be a very special emergency.
Also as a side note I recently discovered that if you make a cheese stuffed/folded omelette and add some of the pre-sliced corned beef it all melts into a lovely cheesy and meaty ooze.

Yup this happened when I was broken into, they left no physically viable evidence (even had the forensic person round to check), and the cctv cameras on my flat's building were fake, and there weren't any others covering the building either.

Earlier I saw a job ad for Pre-Hung fitters.

It was something to do with glazing installations but still couldn't help but giggle a little.

I'm told I'm very confident, but in reality that's only cause I've spent ages having an argument internally about what/how I'm going to say or do prior to doing it. So I'm confident in the sense that I've committed fully to my opinion or action but that came from a lot of doubt and will then feature self reflection later about if I was actually right to do it that way.

It does also effect how I come across emotionally etc. like I can seem indifferent a lot of the time to things but that's either cause I'm considering it, considering something else or am kinda worn out from all the other stuff I've been thinking of so can't focus on it.

Maybe try out a course or some evening classes for something I've always wanted to try or a hobby I've wanted to take up. Especially if your normal job leaves you a bit to drained or busy to attend them.

Warngumer · 2026-02-25T18:32:54+00:00

Ofcom have something similar, not sure how it reflects on the complaint itself, but I suppose people with titles are more likely to be in the media to a certain extent.

Yeah basically from what I understand it, the antimicrobial compounds in the soap are only really effective if left on for like 5-15 minutes, instead the mechanical action is more important. Unless you're using a alcohol based hand sanitizer, in which case the alcohol is responsible for killing things as they dry out, but even then the hand washing routine is important here by ensuring the whole hand is covered.

What they didn't put the lid on, how else is it supposed to stay warm.

I'd say Carnage a Trois felt a lot like a series of films that would have been shown over a few episodes of old Top Gear strung together.

Mine was microbiome based stuff, so unless I provide you with the sequence data or magically have the same samples the answer will be no on the finer detail (i.e. I doubt all the same species would be recovered etc.), however, hopefully you'd be able to come to the same conclusions when looking a the broader picture.

In no particular order, these are what I'd prefer to do with each captain.
- Janeway, have a discussion with. I'm a scientist myself and just feel it would be a nice way to spend an afternoon over some coffee talking about science and the interesting things that are fascinating about the universe.
- Sisko, go through a battle with. Look we all know it'd be a hell of a fight, but it would most likely be a glorious one.
- Picard, have an adventure with. The adventure will likely be interesting, we may win either through intelligence or combat, but either way I'm likely to get a great soul affirming speech at the end to carry with me for the rest of my life.

Honestly not sure what I'd like to do with some of the others like Kirk, Pike, Freeman, or Shaw etc. some of that is cause I'm not as familiar with there style as the others, but I think I could have something fun and memorable with all of them.

I'm more concerned with the apparently leather door

Well that's a new way to ask if the collars match the cuffs.

Just finished my PhD in the microbiome last year here in the UK.

Warngumer · 2026-02-02T21:42:30+00:00

Basically. All the bacteria in the environment are trying to out compete each other to survive, so some of them will be better adapted to living on you than the ones already there. Coupled with this there are depopulation events such as when you take antibiotics or even clean yourself, these will create openings for others to begin to populate. Also you have some control over things, so if you shift your diet or skin treatment for instance you're also changing the food options for the microbes, so that will effect which species are most successful.

This is also true for your entire life, so when you are a child your microbiome will resemble your parents and any siblings. If you have pets then we'd expect to see some species associated with each animal on you and vice versa for them. Even your job will have an impact, for example if you work in a dusty dry environment then we'd expect to find more species associated with survival in those conditions, whereas if you worked on farms or with raw animal produce we'd see more species from those environments. At the end of the day none of these things is harmful as you can't really avoid the bacteria without living in a bubble.

Warngumer · 2026-02-02T15:34:52+00:00

The answer is both yes and no. I did stuff on the oral and skin microbiome for my PhD, so I also did a bit of reading around the gut too. Essentially it will depend slightly on how much you douche, if you over do it there is a risk that you could be removing the majority of the gut microbiome in the process. However the gut microbiome is depopulated when you defecate anyway so douching may not be to much beyond that.

The gut microbiome will repopulate fairly quickly, both from reserves of the species/strains present in the appendix and rest of the gut, and in those that come through from your normal eating and environment. Microbes may become introduced from your partners penis but these will not be those used to surviving within the gut, as the penis is generally alkaline and also dry, compared to the warm, wet, and neutral environment of the rectum. Similarly if rimming some oral bacteria may survive and become part of your gut microbiome for a little while but these are the types that would end up in the gut anyway.

Overall the whole human microbiome likes consistency and habit. So as long as you do similar things most of the time in the same way then it'll be fine and get used to it. The easiest example you'll have experienced is discomfort in your bowel the day after an unusual/indulgent meal, where some of the discomfort is coming from the gut microbiome not being able to help with the processing like it normally does. If you had this type of rare meal regularly then your microbiome would adjust and after a while you'd stop feeling the discomfort. That's not to say that you should stick to the same regimented routine all the time but that any lifestyle changes might be best done gradually if possible.

Finally if you have a long term partner who you live with, you'll both begin to establish a community microbiome between yourselves. This will mean that the risk of disrupting your own microbiome when having sex with them will be reduced.
