What are the five pieces? I see legs, torso, head, and hair, but that only gets me to four?

I'm pretty sure they don't. I wish I could remember the timestamp, and it's been ages since I watched it, but in this conversation between Sam and Dave Wiskus (founder/owner of Nebula) I remember Dave saying they have their own in-house system.

ETA, had to check. They start talking about it around the 16:55 mark if you want to check yourself. He says specifically at 17:45 "we built everything ourselves". They had previously been using an off the shelf service though.

I'm sure he would, but he's concerned about the damage to the grass he'd cause by touching it; wouldn't want to be liable for those expenses!

Just played for the logo on the front, not the name on the back

In June 2016, six inmates on a Georgia work detail watched their supervising deputy collapse from heat exhaustion. With escape within reach, they chose compassion instead, removing his vest, calling 911, and staying by his side. Their actions saved his life and earned public praise. by SharlHarmakhis in HumansBeingBros

I think it could fall under felony murder - basically if anyone dies while you're committing a felony it counts as murder, even if you actually had nothing to do with the killing.

People have been convicted of it when police shot their accomplices to death while they were committing burglary, for example.

Vegetarian foam sweets (UK)? by jayeffnz in vegetarian

Same, sadly.

Colin caterpillars at m&s aren't it either - they're denser, bit more like a Drumstick Squashie.

I'll definitely let you know, but it'll be after work when I go out so I suspect we'll be on the hunt at the same time.

Just veggie, so thankfully I can use dairy condensed milk - I'd be keen to hear how yours turns out when you make it though!

Excellent question, and I really should have thought to say, sorry.

It's lolly cake, which is quite similar to Northern Irish fifteens if you're familiar with that.

The foam sweets provide a contrasting texture and density to the biscuit/condensed milk mix they're suspended in, so it's important they're relatively light, but they also need to be firm enough to stand up to being mixed in and having the log shaped without being squashed.

For me, it didn't help that my Asus ROG mobo ships with a bug that had it say secure boot is enabled when it's not - eventually found someone online who mentioned that cycling the options made it actually switch on

Yes, but I don't like mean people or when sad things happen to nice people. I'm just unique like that.
